演出樂隊 Performing bands：Vader (Poland) 共演嘉賓：Earth Rot (Australia) & Tyrant of Mary (Japan) 樂隊介紹: Vader is a Polish death metal band from Olsztyn. Formed in 1983, the group was founded by then-bassist Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek and guitarist Zbigniew "Vika" Wróblewski. Vader went through several lineup changes over the years, and since 2011 comprises Wiwczarek on guitars and vocals, guitarist Marek "Spider" Pająk, bassist Tomasz "Hal" Halicki, and British drummer James Stewart. Starting as a heavy metal group, Vader eventually went to thrash, speed, and then in the late 1980s became a death metal band. The band's name was inspired by Darth Vader from the Star Wars film series. Lyrical themes include stories by H. P. Lovecraft, World War II, horror, and anti-religious messages. According to Billboard magazine, by 2002 Vader sold approximately 500,000 releases around the world. Earth Rot was started out as a two-piece project between Tom Waterhouse and Jared Bridgeman writing a handful of 00:30-01:00 long grindcore tracks before being discarded. In late 2013, the two were discussing ideas for a new project, as neither of them had played in a band since Jared left Advent Sorrow in 2011 (apart from one session gig with Perth black metal band Naetu). As such, Earth Rot was revived in December and an EP recorded. The band's line-up was confirmed by the end of January 2014 before the band's first show on February 5th (which was also the launch show of the band's EP, Dirt).
