Of course, all of the real masters of death metal know this - in order for this style of music to work there must be a hidden dosage of melody beneath all the aggression.

so true ) even the most brutal death metal usual includes such. i like vader very much for their solos, which are....different a bit. they play a lot of short solos but they always fit perfectly to the song and are extremely melodical. nice contrast between neverending tremolo of vaders riffs . btw nice review man. i wouldnt expect to review such music (no offence dont worry), youve always reviewed much more experimental stuff. anyway i agree that this album is great .

EDIT: btw im coming to their concert on 2nd December ) yay

um..I should check this band..thanks

You didn't add your little symbol for this album? you're one screwed little fellow. let's hook up someday

Good album, recommended for those who think De Profundis is their best. Somehow I liked The Beast and The Art Of War better though.

brilliant album,but Litany and Revelations remain my favorites
all their releases so far have been brilliant
long live polish death metal and long live vader!

I would even say , that this is their best album.

This album is definitely better than Revelations and The Beast, but overall it seems like an average Vader album. The song Helleluyah is pretty gay, but the other songs are cool. Pretty much perfect recording quality as well, if I remember correctly.

Very good album, indeed...

rules, definitely, 06 in respect to death metal, fucking owns.

I just wanted to say something... 2006 has so far been quite the exquisite year for death metal in general

very good album, sehr gut album, bardzo dobry album \m/

'Although the last few Vader albums (especially those without Doc on drums) were far from being poor in quality'.

Well, let's make it clear, Doc was and will stay among the best drummers hailing from Poland. His appearances on Vader, Dies Irae and Slashing Death were far to be a coincidence.
Back to your review, Impressions In Blood is a masterpiece of extreme death metal. Well rated (9.2). Congrats. However, it's tiny , just a little. Some albums need descriptions from 350 to 600 words. This album has caused many confusions to the scene, you know. It's not necessary to mention that, since you are a reviewer...But aside from that, it's good, i liked it though Herz and Jupi .

In case you havent noticed, I dont rate albums. The 9.2 is an average taken from the users' ratings.

This album has grown on me quite a bit. The new drummer has some pretty good timing and it's good to see a stagnating band become revitalized. I think that maybe this album has made it in my top 5 for this year too...

No doubt ne of the best metal albums of 2006... Surely on the podium this year. ShadowFear ,Halleluyah! ,and Predator are fantastic!
LET'S BRUTAL!!! 10/10

this is up there on my favorite albums. Am i the only person who thinks Amongst the Ruins fucking dominates?

Great album. One of the best from 2006.

i think its made my top 5 of the year as well. you said "it's good to see a stagnating band become revitalized" i wasnt aware they were "stagnating". the first album i heard was revelations, and next the beast, both which i thought were great albums, but i do agree witht he fact that this 1 is better. shadowfear is f'ing great

This album is really great, and your review too
The aggressive sound of this album is impressive indeed.

Im not commenting on the band or album, but that cover looks alot like Belphegors 'Pestapokalypse VI', am I the only one who sees the similarity?

Amazing album. I listended to it a few weeks ago, and again today. It really didnt leave my sub-conscious at alll... I love it.

Impressions in Blood was released earlier than Pestapokalypse VI. So rather Belphegor copy it

Oh, I wasnt hinting at anyone copying eachother (the similarities are probably accidental)...just sort of commenting on how they look alot alike from afar.

Certainly one of the best Death Metal releases in years. I really enjoy this cd. Great work, Vader!

Shadowsfear brings tears to my eyes... This CD deserves its high marks!

great death metal work.. when i see the N/A rate i though it was meant to be a zero xD. Then its just read. Anyway, its a good review and a good album and any dm fan will enjoy.

The Book is one of the best death metal songs ever!

I just started listening to them recently. I know that blast beating is their style but some songs sound similar becouse of blast beats. If only they would calm down a little and make more songs like The Book.

Each and every riff is wonderful and memorable, thats what i love about Vader.
