Vader‘s Peter Wiwczarek commented in the liner notes as follows about “Litany“: “‘Litany’ was definitely our fastest and most brutal album ever recorded…This year the album celebrates its quarter-century and we want to remind you of the power of these brutal riffs. The album returns to the stages in full form. Many of the songs haven’t been played since the 2000-2001 promotional tour. Some of them have never been played. I invite you to the world of ‘Litany’! Remember…you enter here at your own risk!“
Vader will soon be embarking on a summer festival campaign, which will see the band focusing on special “Litany” sets on some selected shows, which you shouldn’t miss:
