A fresh, debut album entitled „The End Of Life” right from Century Media publishing which came out on the 22th of September raised an overheated tempest among the fans of the band Vader. A reason for this distaste was the leave of the guitarist Mauser, who altogether with his wife Ayia resolved to spread their wings in newly-formed project UnSun. This only provided a wider promotion to the band, before they even started to fully present themselves and made this album a long waited one.

The whole album is of a range of melodic metal. As a prelude there is a promotional „Whispers”, which clip one can admie in television or in the Internet. Nice and easily asimillating, with a delicate, well-exposed voice of the vocalist. And here it should be marked that virtually all compositions are especially designed to distinct Aya’s vocal abilities. Unfortunately, one can claim that in some moments it is not of the strongest ones, showing the overgrowth of the form among the matter as in „The Other Side” where against the music’s baskground it falls rather flat. However, as long as the „Face The Truh” is concerned which marvellously begins with keyboard sounds and slowly develops, the vocal only adds atmosphere and even more melody – such nice and warm a ballad. Similar as in „Memories”. The ha rdest blast of the album is definately „On the Edge”, in turn number eleven proved to be completely surprising, certainly positively, such introduction cannot be expected, completely different, experimental sounds with use of electronics. All the same, despite the monotony worming its way at times – album can be surprising.

Summing up at the end, the biggest minus is too big presentation of vocal’s airs and graces and to little exposition of the music which is really great. One cannot describe this album as creating cohesion, but can be regarded as dissected. Nevertheless, we cannot forget that it is only the begining and the band have signed an agreement for five albums, so all we can do is wait for what they will show us on the next CD!
