Vader was formed in 1986 in Olsztyn, Poland, toiling around the European (Polish) death and thrash circuit while releasing demos into the metal tape-trading circuit. Their 1989 demo, Morbid Reich, became a huge hit in the underground, leading to a record deal with Earache in 1992. This made them the first death metal band from behind the Iron Curtain to sign a record deal outside of their native Poland. The same year, they released The Ultimate Incantation, a large success in the metal underground. They toured with Bolt Thrower, Grave, Deicide, and many other bands to bring their live performances to American audiences.
