Vektor - Outer Isolation

[Climb Thar Hill]

 

[Krilons Resa]

Not bad.

They dont remind me of Atheist at all though.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Lurch never knows what he's talking about.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I've honestly begun to respect Dorian's music opinions more. No offense Aurel, but you need to pick it up. You need Cialis for the ears.

 

[lurch70]

@ you guys .... this is clearly a rehash of old thrash ... again not bad at all, but not worthy of worship.

vocals are the Atheist connection for me.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Yet if the members were 25 years older you'd be all over this like white on rice.

 

[lurch70]

i don't know if you noticed but I am pitching young new bands lately ... Ulcerate, Ass Borer, etc. ... rectum themed bands.

one thing i could never approve of is rehash of old shit by NEW young bands ... i can appreciate the effort and energy but come up with your own style.

 

[Krilons Resa]

... I am pitching young new bands lately ... Ulcerate, Ass Borer, etc. ... rectum themed bands.

I actually agree with Lurch here on his points.

 

[lurch70]

oh my God ... Ken agrees with me? ... hold my nose and call me Nancy

here ... go clean your ears

How could I disagree with what you have said. It's all spot on. Probably one of the reasons why I have strayed to other musical areas. Show me individuality, ingenuity, and hardcore creativity while being very honest, and I'm fucking there. Otherwise, zzzzz.

Fuck yeah

[lurch70]

Coroner was a hit and miss for me ... they had some good songs that flowed but overall I was not a big fan of their disjointed style.

 

[Krilons Resa]

That's because you enjoy "metal by the numbers."

 

[lurch70]

here ... you want blistering thrash with annoying vocals? ...

 

[lurch70]

That's because you enjoy "metal by the numbers."

yeah I like a repeating riff and a chorus.

 

[lurch70]

btw, not sure where Nate heard Voivod in their sound ... their logo looks like the old Voivod logo ... but there is no Voivod in the music.

THIS is Voivod

 

[swizzlenuts]

This is what song hooked me to Vektor. @2:00-2:25!

Plus, I love science fiction done well in metal. With Vektor, the really make me feel like they aren't playing thrash just to play thrash, but to actually keep an atmosphere, similar to what Nocturnus does.

 

[lurch70]

Nocturnus ... there's another terribly overrated band. Browning is a terrible, terrible drummer.

 

[Reign in Acai]

We caught these lads last night, tighter than the vaginas that BWD taps on a daily basis. Nothing beats a pure metal gig in front of a scant audience after arising from a vicodin induced coma. Though the 4 impish bints who stood before us playing spirotext did encroach upon my mood. Goat damn do I hate technology, do people no longer have the attention span to sit through one fucking song before checking their cellular phones? One mantequilla faced sow in particular kept locking her iphone, only to unlock it seconds later to update her status. At one point I turned to my left only to view 3 Portlandia types all texting away in sync. What the fuck? Completely fucking distracting and an overall mood killer. Not big on the arse fucks who use their devices to record shotty footage for subsequent youtube postings either. Leave your shit in the car you fucking cankers!

A little disappointed that Vektor didn't play Tetrastructural Minds, really was expecting them to close out with that gem. Surprise of the night was the opening act ExMortus, which we only caught the tail end of. Quite a shame, as they totally pissed on Witchaven who came after them.
