21 Best Metal Albums of the 21st Century... So Far


#18 - Vader - Litany

Polish death metal is somewhat hit or miss. Their goal is terribly ambitious: to mix equal parts brutality and technicality while writing focused songs. Vader managed to do it in under 30 minutes with Litany. It's a short but terribly dense aural affair. The moments of rest are fleeting and their only purpose is to emphasize the oncoming aggression. I can't think of a more powerful music induced adrenaline rush. WARNING: Listening to Track 3 - Xeper while driving is legitimately irresponsible and may result in the death of you and everyone in your immediate vicinity.
