Death metal is always exciting to watch live. The performance is half of the attraction of the genre to me, and to see Vader come out on stage in their leather waistcoats, studded belts, and long greased up hair is just the beginning of an exciting death metal show. Although the band have been through several line-up changes since their formation in the late 80s, their sound and performance is just as great as is it was the original band.
Their lyrics can sometimes be difficult to understand on the recordings simply due to the style of singing, but seeing their songs performed live enabled me to gain a better understanding of the religious and political narratives of their songs through their facial expressions and body language. Pitor Wiwczarek, the singer, seemed to have much better diction in a live performance.
They opened the show with the title track from their new album, Tibi Et Igni, and everyone was singing and dancing away right from the start. As soon as they started each song, the audience were going crazy, jumping into each other, and having a great time. The instrumental solos that all of the band members gave were incredible, from the intense shredding of the guitars, to epic drum solos. They played a great selection of their tracks from over the years, and have a great varied show.
