Polish Death Metal legends VADER just revealed the cover artwork for their upcoming album “TIBI ET IGNI”! Artwork was handled this time by a true legend of visuals, Joe Petagno (MOTÖRHEAD ect.)

VADER mastermind Piotr states:
“Joe is a Legend! Not just because he created (the) Motorhead logo or breathtaking artworks for many outstanding albums. Joe is over all times and his imagination touches the Hell itself…. and this is enough reason to ask him for painting “a Hellfire” for Vader’s new music. He accepted it and… made me so proud!”

Joe Petagno adds:
“They have been on my “get in touch” list for years. Finally we managed it and for a killer album very appropriately titled: Tibi et Igni.”
