The art of song dynamics..........2007-02-09

Buy this record and skip to track five. A gradual, building tempo of rolling double-bass underpins a logical sequence of clever, measured riffs. How effortless it sounds; speed and power built from sheer momentum. A flawless arrangement of menacing vocals to fit the rhythm perfectly, and a *short* burst of blast-beat brutality that compliments the extremity rather than compensates for it, then it loops back round to a dead stop. Under four minutes, but an epic moment in Death Metal history.

There's a bunch of other tracks on here too, most of which succeed to some extent. This is the record that anchors Vader's position in the Death Metal vanguard. Devastating.

Hail Vader Hail!.......2003-10-05

In my opinion "De Profundis" is the best death metal album ever!
The best songs: "Sothis", "Silent Empire" and "Blood Of Kingu".
If you don't have any Vader album - buy it, because this is total metal classic!

An act of Vader.......2003-06-21

Vader is a Metal band that blends Thrash and Death Metal with Slayer as the general ancestor. Vader appears more technically refined and more powerful fresh with neurotic Flavour.
The very fast use of chords is lead under an assimilation of chaos. Production is clear making the music extremely powerful.
Once the listener falls into the layer of Vader it will seems intoxicating. Most impressive is the precision and accuracy of the riffs creating a very natural balance in the complex compositions. Standouts are Silent Empire, Blood of Kingu and Incarnation.

The perfect blend of Slayer and Morbid Angel.......2000-07-28

VADER's DE PROFUNDIS is basically a combination of MORBID ANGEL from the ALTARS OF MADNESS/ BLESSED ARE THE SICK era and SLAYER from the HELL AWAITS/ REIGN IN BLOOD era. Some of the rythms are lifted directly from MORBID ANGEL and the riffing is so much like early SLAYER that you'd think you were listening to HELL AWAITS or REIGN IN BLOOD. Even the vocals are reminiscent of Tom Araya. In other words, this is not very original. However, so what? This album is still damn good. Doc's drumming is very technically proficient, as well as the dual guitar riffing. What is most admirable about this band is their background. Coming from Poland during the collapse of the Eastern bloc and succeeding in the death metal genre is quite impressive. Think of the obstacles these guys probably had to overcome. That alone is worth a listen and DE PROFUNDIS will not disappoint.

meticulous metal massacre.......2000-01-17

How Vader managed to pull this one off without being sued by Slayer or Bolt Thrower is beyond me. Anyway, this record has some of the best riffs I have ever heard. These guys have the ability to walk the fine line and be named in the same group with Morbid Angel, Slayer, and so on. Piotr's vocals are as raspy as ever, and the insane double base drumming by Doc is ear shattering. The opening of "Sothis" is so fast and brutal, but everything can be heard cleary. Top notch producing for a death metal band is unheard of, but with Vader, that is not the case. If you consider yourself a fan of death metal and you do not own this, please remove your ears; you are not using them correctly.
