@DoggoWillink lol yes it was. I'm glad to see 1 person here and there recognize Beet. Usually happens once a year. Me? I listen to Vektor for 32 years ago, brotha...
+Jeremy Rose I have a similar story haha. My car got stuck in rocks one night and the band helped push my car out and I think a rock struck him in the balls haha. I'd like to think I'm partially responsible for the high notes.
To be honest, this vocal style was pretty common for thrash/death/black metal bands throughout the 80s. Chuck just happens to be the most popular with this kind of vocal style.
Holy shit. After the end of this song, I took about 20 minutes with my hands upon my head to realize how far Vektor's music is going. You are writing history again guys, thank you from the heart for your incredible music.
same, I had the same effect when listening to the entire terminal redux for the first time... moved to tears a few times, especially that last track... :)
Exactly. Most of the technical death/thrash metal is pretty cold and soulless. Vektor is emotion, almost (dare I say it) 'romantic' in some sort of way.... In any case, Vektor hits my soul like no other band. Well, maybe ABBA...
+tonykratos A. They aren't even remotely the same style. B. Its not hard to be better the "Big Four". The only thing they had going for them was that they were mainstream.
+NoFunNoMoshNoCoreNoTrends I could argue with you on that. But again, not even remotely similar in styles. saying that they are the same becuase they are both thrash is stupid.
That weird choir section out of nowhere is amazing, and for some reason reminds me of the opening music to Civilization V: Brave New World. Very odd, but it really works. Vektor is easily one of the best, most creative bands we've got right now.
It helps with the Parallax by BTBAM too, all you need to do is have the lyrics beside you the first time you listen and you get used to it very quickly
I think that Vektor has become in one of the most important metal bands in the scene, i mean they get far their ideas and composition doing this new concept album ,unlike other new thrash metal bands that always do the same shit, Vektor is in other level, they are one hell of masters of metal, yeah!
@@jeremysoreille5309 Obviously you have not heard this entire album . Sure Voivod and Aspid are technical but their composition is one note in comparison to Terminal Redux atleast. Not saying Vektor is superior but Terminal Redux has far more diverse composition than just "progressive-thrash". Poser
This is the perfect blend of Black Futures more black metal roots and Outer Isolation's complex but beautiful arrangements. Vektor are the most excitingly, fresh band in metal today, period.
I'm not into thrash. Never got into it, not a fan. But this album transcends genres. It's thrash, but it's something that surpasses. You can't have an opinion on this album. it is objectively a masterpiece.
@@necrodamus5481yes it does. You can dissect the elements of composition, thematic throughlines, and how the use of certain instruments can evoke emotions. Whether you like the art piece or not is an entirely different conversation.
@@megaultradamn and even such. those feelings and emotions are subjective to the listener. you can throw on a cheesy well made love song that instrumentally can evoke those emotions, but if you have a terrible singer or a bad guitarist that cant send that cadence or evoke that emotion or that one extra pull off on guitar or hammer on or finger section. Then it can make the listener feel the opposite or nothing. leaving it entirely subjective. musical complexity does not equate to objectivity or a masterpiece. It's how you set it up and evoke the feeling youre going for that sets it. Objectively- Atheist's music is complex but it doesnt make me feel anything and i would refrain to call it a masterpiece
I always skip that part, it's like putting tomato sauce on vanilla ice cream - not the worst thing in the world, but why, just why... Gregorian monks or altaic throat singing would have made more sense
tnd brought me here. this is honest to god good music. i love songs that feel like theres an emotional journey throughout the track from beginning to end. this song reminds me of how much can be done with music.
Nick Stolis no problem. I can't exactly remember which song it was, I think it was Earth. At least this is how Charging the Void struck me back in March. :)
I legit think Vektor is one of the best metal bands of all time. They're so damn original with their music. I've been trying to find a similar band for ages now, but I just can't...
@@azrael666ethereal Voivod has nothing to do with Vektor. There is no band that sounds like Vektor or maybe a very little bit Revocation, Obscura and other modern technical stuff.
This is proof that tuning has no bearing on "heaviness", what so fucking ever! These boys are tuned a whole step up to F and are one of the most crushing bands today.
This entire album is really amazing. It's my favorite album of all time. Nothing compares, NOTHING. Charging the void, LCD, pteroticon, psytropia, pillars of Sand, collapse, (all the others, I forget the names), and the most epic, amazing, and emotional one recharging the void.
initially it looked like a Voivod / Venom rip off to me, but it's more like inspired by, they seem to grasp perfectly what oldschool is all about, awesome band
Damn this shit is epic af, i wish i had some friends with whom i'd be headbanging but i go to an all girls' school and none of them is into metal and i dont really have guy friends but even if i did i'm sure their music taste would be shit but damn i feel lonely listening to my dayuum metal songs especially the technical ones, like you just get so fucking happy by listening to those juicy riffs but no one to share it with and not to mention my indian family always telling me to turn down the volume.... hopefully next year i'll get some metalhead friends at uni
Turn your ears away from the melody and read the lyrics. This is actually a pretty badass story. It continues trough the whole album or is every song a different story? This is my very first time hearing this bad, discovered it thanks to Theneedledrop. They talk about stars, constellations, races and molecules praising Shahin-i-Tarazu (The Balance). It's great science fiction.
The riff that starts at 5:23 is the closest thing I've ever heard in music overall to orgasm. Many people overuse that term for music they like, but that really is a climax to end all climaxes. It should be called the Ejaculation Riff
Impossible not to go straight on to Cygnus Terminal after listening to this... also, I keep getting flashbacks to when they played London and everyone was singing the backing vocals. Perfect gig
sick. was like 'meh' at first but kept listening and like in all good music's fashion it got to me eventually. ambitious and fresh. totally getting the lp when it's out.
This is not thrash anymore. This is perfection, travelling through space and time to transcend your soul, and your mind.
yes I do know. It's technical thrash metal. But for such a track, it sounds shrinking to categorize.
Sounds like dmt
7:00!!
I WANT MORE OF THIS UNUSUAL PROG-METAL STUFF!!
(The ordinary screeching vocals are the #1 strike against Vektor.)
8:19!
who farted?
yes yes ye sye s yes!!!!!
+theneedledrop wheres the end chorus youre talkin about ...
+theneedledrop You'd better review this album.
+theneedledrop Dude you were right. That choir that comes in is surprisingly incredible.
Quintin Stanczak what chorus man ? I dont get it
+Soufiane Artwood It's near the end! I think it's around the 7 minute mark and a backing clean choir comes in and it's beautiful.
The riffs here melt my heart. Most underrated band I've heard in a long time.
+EvanesEmperor I don't think they are underrated, they just still growing ;)
Antonio Ramon Concepción Vidal your mom is overrated lul
Wow lol, is that a fucking Beetlejuice astronaut profile pic? Lol.
Garbage
@DoggoWillink lol yes it was. I'm glad to see 1 person here and there recognize Beet. Usually happens once a year.
Me? I listen to Vektor for 32 years ago, brotha...
Great musicians and great people, The singer Dave, helped me back out my jeep at night after a show, This band is awesome.
+Jeremy Rose
I have a similar story haha. My car got stuck in rocks one night and the band helped push my car out and I think a rock struck him in the balls haha. I'd like to think I'm partially responsible for the high notes.
Ricardo Hall That's a funny story. How ironic that very jeep is giving me trouble today.
+Jeremy Rose Dave said the bonus track on the digital deluxe edition, Reversing Out of the Void is based on that exact experience.
+Ricardo Hall That last part made me laugh my ass off lmao.
Mac lmmfao
Started moshing alone in front of the computer. 10/10
I do that all the time, to Vektor, Archspire, Beyond Creation, Death, Dying Fetus, the list goes on... But this was special, yes.
you like beyond creation? dude you have to check out irreversabile mechanism, they have one album and its pretty much flawless
Agreed. Great album. Love that band.
The vocals remind me a lot of Chuck's vocals from Death off of "The Sound of Perseverance"
I knew was not the only one
My fav Death album
True. Perfect "marriage" between Prog-thrash-black-death metal. Not an easy thing a band can do successfully. Not at all....
To be honest, this vocal style was pretty common for thrash/death/black metal bands throughout the 80s. Chuck just happens to be the most popular with this kind of vocal style.
It's like Chuck and Dani Filth had a baby.
6:55 is still one of the most phenomenal moments I've heard in a Metal song. The first time I heard it I was frozen to the spot in awe.
Holy shit.
After the end of this song, I took about 20 minutes with my hands upon my head to realize how far Vektor's music is going.
You are writing history again guys, thank you from the heart for your incredible music.

@@joostdevries6859Defeated Sanity and Vektor are the best examples of technical death and thrash
Best tech thrash metal song in the universe
fr
Vocals reminds me of Chuck from Death. Very unique
Yeah, exactement!
That's sort of the point. Have you ever read the lyrics to Vektors songs? they are meant to be sort of cheesy and fun.
Daniel Treadwell Haha, Jesus nerd, relax.
I'm thinking Dan Kubinski on Die Kreuzen's first album. See On the Streets. Short fast hardcore.
I can see that definitely
Vektor is by far the most original and creative metal band in the scene today.
+SeanMusicFreak Thrash* band
They're still metal, and they're still more creative than anything else out today.
+SeanMusicFreak Αnd that is only your opinion. Also genres exist for a reason. You can't compare eveything just like that.
+SeanMusicFreak Yeah, metal is srs bsns >:(
+Giorgos Tse Generes do not exist. They are made up just to categorize music. But i agree you shouldnt compare music.
Do you recognize strange distorted guitars noise at the beginning ? It is Outer Isolation ending played backward.
lol man u have good ear
+Robert Czaja holy shit
+Ares Rattlehead I've played this song by ear on the guitar and intro sounded really familiar to me.
i can hear a voice around 0:18. What is it?
E Munzio "I think i'm loosing my mind..."
Holy fuck the vocalist sounds like Flesh era Chuck.
+Luneth274 I knew it sounded familiar and couldn't quite put it together... spot on man
+Luneth274 The vocalist sounds like screaming eagle over the canyon... I fucking love his voice.
+Luneth274 Yes.
It would be hilarious to hear Vektor covering Death covering Judas Priest.
i like how you referred to the song instead of the album lol. its also my favorite song from there.
This is why Vektor is and always will be my favorite Thrash band from the new scene!
Incredible! Instrumental masters!
Also They shit on the Big Four any day.
+tonykratos
A. They aren't even remotely the same style.
B. Its not hard to be better the "Big Four". The only thing they had going for them was that they were mainstream.
+Opask not the same style but the same genre:Thrash Metal.But I'm agree that the big four are a low standard.
+NoFunNoMoshNoCoreNoTrends I could argue with you on that. But again, not even remotely similar in styles. saying that they are the same becuase they are both thrash is stupid.
I was just about to say that, too. But you can't just shit on the big four without excluding slayer. They all sold out though. All of the big four.
Aspid brought me here. Great track, great band!
Aspid are amazing!
That weird choir section out of nowhere is amazing, and for some reason reminds me of the opening music to Civilization V: Brave New World. Very odd, but it really works. Vektor is easily one of the best, most creative bands we've got right now.
Holy Fucking Cyber Dynosaur Shit!!!! This is even better than Black Future!!
i hear people complaining about the vocals, but i think it sounds like a demon alien from hell, which fits the music perfectly \m/
a demon alien from deep space, with the voice altered by distance and cosmic radiations
He sounds like chuck schuldiner
It helps with the Parallax by BTBAM too, all you need to do is have the lyrics beside you the first time you listen and you get used to it very quickly
sounds like frieza... in a good way
The vocals are what keeps me from enjoying Vektor
I had a bass student show me this record. What a swell guy.
Incredible dynamic and musicianship!
Clearly Voivod influence here. That's amazing.
Dude some Big budget studio needs to make like a 9 hour movie trilogy of this entires albums lyrics it's that fucking great
I wish. The fx are mine.
I would really wish. But i think the plit can be summed up in possibly one or two movies
I think that Vektor has become in one of the most important metal bands in the scene, i mean they get far their ideas and composition doing this new concept album ,unlike other new thrash metal bands that always do the same shit, Vektor is in other level, they are one hell of masters of metal, yeah!
Obviously you don' t know anything about Killing Technology and Extravasation. Vektor did't invented anything.
poser.
They are amazing but Important? How? How are they important? What have they done? No one is looking up metal because of Vektor and I am a huge fan.
@@jeremysoreille5309 Obviously you have not heard this entire album . Sure Voivod and Aspid are technical but their composition is one note in comparison to Terminal Redux atleast. Not saying Vektor is superior but Terminal Redux has far more diverse composition than just "progressive-thrash". Poser
4:38 An eagle briefly enters the studio.
this album has given me more happines and made me feel more emotions than all of the persons ive ever met in my life
I may not be the biggest fan of the vocals but that scream at 1:36 WOW
that little section @ 1:53 was incredible. These dudes don't spare a single second for boring music....every moment is jam packed!
Yeah, this album smokes... gotta love that riff around the 3:40 mark. Also, agreed about the DTP sound around the 7 minute mark
This is the perfect blend of Black Futures more black metal roots and Outer Isolation's complex but beautiful arrangements. Vektor are the most excitingly, fresh band in metal today, period.

It objectively isn't.
I get this. It's like how Death isn't actually death metal. It's death metal, but it's just more
As much as i love this album and think it's a masterpiece. Objectivity does not apply to any form of art.

The only metal band that mattered to me in ages
Fucking outstanding, well worth the wait.
god 6:20 sets the sci-fi tone so perfectly for the rest of the album
One of the best riffs in the album if you ask me.
7:48 this right here sounds like some shit I would expect aliens to listen too
7:02 OOEEEOOEEOE AAAEEEAAAAEEEAEEEEAAAA
That's the shit 🎉
This band just continues to be jaw-droppingly amazing.
THIS.FUCKING.BAND - Please come to Toronto
Soul singers? Vektor ain't afraid of experimenting
Samuel Saarinen Dat climax man, DAT CLIMAX!
they're not soul singers wtf
@@alexradice8163 David himself said they brought in soul singers
I always skip that part, it's like putting tomato sauce on vanilla ice cream - not the worst thing in the world, but why, just why...

This is some really good shit here.
That Riff at 7:47... Man I love it!!!
You should listen to the end of Recharging the Void then...it has this riff in a more extended and awesome version.
You officially blew my mind to another galaxy, and I have yet to get back to earth!
hope you can do it before they release another album
tnd brought me here. this is honest to god good music. i love songs that feel like theres an emotional journey throughout the track from beginning to end. this song reminds me of how much can be done with music.
1:36 This part and this part 4:50 Gave me the chills. This band is amazingly good.
a bit of Dream Theater in the 4:50 part :)
When that strange chorus comes in towards the end, my mind explodes through my ears. Didn't think Vektor could get any better.... Boy was I wrong.
This is one of the greatest songs off one of the greatest albums of all time.
Indeed
Everytime I hit play on this song, I get instant chills. Damn good song (and album for that matter)! This is one for the history books
9 minutes? You are changing the space-time structure , guys.
Awesome!
This sounds pretty fucking deadly. Getting this album day one.
Edit - Holy fuck at the end of this song. Holy fuck.
This band is truly a gem in metal. HAIL VEKTOR

Never knew this band until now, this is the best thrash metal that I listen to in years. Sounds like Death and even a little Cradle of Filth.
What great vocals. Coarse and yet understandable. Goes well with the music.
This album would make a great novel/graphic novel.
BRUH!!! This shit is hot fire. Glad these guys finally have something coming out.
Vektor does it again.
I tried to play this , then I realized that all I can do is sit down and enjoy this masterpiece because I won't be able to play it anytime soon
6:20 Epic
This is proof that tuning has no bearing on "heaviness", what so fucking ever! These boys are tuned a whole step up to F and are one of the most crushing bands today.
tuning up to f would only be a half step tho...
Daniel Ressler Oh yeah, a semitone then
This entire album is really amazing. It's my favorite album of all time. Nothing compares, NOTHING.

oh we oh we oh we heya heya heya
These guys must like Voivod a lot.
Logan Finn no, that's tool.
That was their biggest inspiration
Vektor is doing what pantera did in the 90s refreshing Metal lml

Its like Aliens paying tribute to VOIVOD!
don't forget ASPID
Ikr.
Haha, good one... or maybe Voivod are the true aliens and these guys who are humans pay a tribute to them:))
And Death.
The Voivod created the wormhole into Dimension Hatroess....an intergalactic soldier went in...and Vektor emerged.
4:45 so beautiful
This song hits so fucking hard
What a great band. Superoriginal.
4:49 IS WHAT YOURE HERE FOR
the ending is absolutley brilliant. this band is the best modern thrash band
a fucking modern masterpiece. if these guys dont make more music the world will be a lesser place.

The most beautiful melody in history
If you like this than you should try giving Kvelertak a listen to.
Oh yes, I thought I'll have to write this comment.
this is mind blowing!!!! so damn good!!!!!! definitely downloading the whole album! ( I know I'm late )
The new stadard of 21C thrash metal.
This song is brutal and beautiful at the same time. Vektor reaches a new level.

10/10, господи, 10/10!
3:41-4:03
That's the thrashiest thrash that anyone has ever thrashed since the early 90s.... that's a FILTHY riff

Impossible not to go straight on to Cygnus Terminal after listening to this... also, I keep getting flashbacks to when they played London and everyone was singing the backing vocals. Perfect gig
Cygnus Terminal is fucking great. Definitely think Charging, Cygnus and Recharging are the best songs on this album.
LCD is also dope as shit
WOW the lyrics .......I could write a novel !!!
X3MCTZN The entire album is an awesome story. It even gets filosofical in the song "collapse"
If anything it needs a movie!

O Wow!This is all, and something more, that expected from the next leap in musical evolution. Can't wait for the rest of the album.
very good band. impressive work, as always.
4:03-9:12 is amazing
Best fucking thrash metal band of the 21th fucking century. Go on boys! You're the thrash of the future ;)
Them and Black Fast hold it down tight. Who said thrash was dead?
Awesome! Reminds me Holy Moses circa “Finished With The Dogs”
3:00 is one of the most wicked riffs I have heard in a long time.
