Morbid Reich

by VADER

supported by

Paul Schwarz The business. 1989. Blacker than the blackest black xINF. On a fuckin tape. Five figures-worth of copies shifted! The most important demo of 1989. Would be if it was just a "demo"(n)striateeh-on! Hard to believe this is "real" (but only death is real, as a Montreal SV once agreed w Hellhammer... Favorite track: Breath Of Centuries.

Choco Latte Vader have been outperforming every death metal band since their inception. 'Morbid Reich' solidified their place in history. It's a killer demo and an essential purchase. Favorite track: The Final Massacre.

Sekator Only the best demo in the history of metal. Period. Favorite track: Chaos.

sylwesterskibniewski I remember time of release. We have been so proud that Polish band can do it. Still, after all these years and albums, it remains my favourite release of Vader

The Morbid Reich-demo from Polish veterans Vader were sent to me from one of my Polish friends during the tape trading era. And mind you, I had the original demo with the color cover – a feature rather unusual back in the days. This is probably THE death metal legacy from Poland; a brutality and sher non-x attitude never to be seen later. I played the tape literary to pieces and I have never heard anything like it in the past 24 years. To illustrate the importance of this demo; the drum sound on this demo were used as a guideline by Euronymous when recording the De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas album. Enjoy peeps!
– Bard G. Eithun (ex-Emperor)

“I knew the existance of VADER previously to the MORBID REICH demo, but was not the point for me to write about those since i simply don’t remember. BUT when i got the MORBID REICH in hands, what was my immense surprise to listen such a great demo ! The sound in generally was so rude and so underground, but also reflect perfectly what i could expect from this demo tape. Just right after the intro, i’ve got straight punch in my head with this thrashy guitar riffs, drumming like if you were at the rehearsal room with the band, and a cavernous vocals. All was done to please me and back then, i was on my own selling demos, lp’s, ep’s at concerts and can clearly say i sold a fucking huge quantity of this demo tape! A classic to enjoy with the re-issue!”
– Herbaut Hervé (Osmose Productions)

“Vader-Morbid Reich demo 1990.Thrash-punk from the devils own graveyard. Raw genetic pulse in a vibrant cold charm of Hellish riffings. A Naked grim sound smooithly dressed up with a chanting vocal performance that makes it appear honest and holds that little extra you need to feel the magic of metal.
– Aldrahn (Dodheimsgard / Thorns / The deathtrip).

Exercises in futility

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
