XXV is the 25th-anniversary compilation album by Polish death metal band Vader. It was released in 2008 by Regain Records. The album is a collection of re-recorded songs from earlier Vader albums, from The Ultimate Incantation up to The Beast. The Special Edition includes three bonus tracks and a bonus third DVD with an old and rare live VHS containing footage from throughout the band's career.

XXV was recorded between July 2007 and March 2008 at Hertz Studio in Białystok, Poland, produced by Wojtek and Sławek Wiesławscy. The album is the last Vader release that features guitarist Maurycy "Mauser" Stefanowicz, and drummer Dariusz "Daray" Brzozowski, and the only studio recording with bassist Marcin "Novy" Nowak.

The release was preceded by the single "v.666", released on January 15, 2008. A music video was shot for the song "Carnal", which was directed by Carlos Abysmo.[5]
