"Welcome to the Morbid Reich" is the 9th full-length studio album by Polish death metal act Vader. The album was released through Nuclear Blast Records in August 2011.

The music on the album is death metal firmly rooted in the early nineties but with an occasionally thrashy edge. We´re talking high quality musicianship, powerful sound production and some really well written material too. It´s obvious from the get go why Vader have been one of the leading Polish death metal acts for now 20 years. These guys are top professionals. One of the assets of the album are the many well played guitar solos which help spice up the raw death metal attack and ultimately make the album more varied. The growling vocals are very convincing too. I like how they are both brutal and aggressive yet intelligible. The band skillfully change pace and rythms throughout the album which is another thing that adds to the variation of the album. Tracks like "Return to the Morbid Reich" and "I Am Who Feasts Upon Your Soul" are winners in my book but all tracks are of good quality.

When all the positives are mentioned I do have to point out that I don´t think Vader have the most original or instantly recognisable sound. That´s not always the most important thing though and with material as strong as this a 3.5 - 4 star (75%) rating is warranted.

I think it's the best they've done in years. The guitar and drum work is so much better than the past few here.

It´s a great album, but I´m pretty sure you won´t be in for any surprises if you already know their usual style.

I was considering buying this album. Judging by your review it's just another solid release from Vader so I guess I'll spend the money for something else. Good review as usual btw (:
