I’m sitting here, painstakingly trying to figure out this song on guitar after listening to the album for over six months straight, yet having not played the guitar in like three years. So yeah I think you’re onto something.
I'm still waiting on my copy to get here, but if this tops Being and Nothingness as both a thrash album and a prog album, I'll be impressed. I have hopes.
This must be terrifying to other metal bands that thought they were pushing the boundaries. This is on another level. The tension, the build up, the general songwriting and how you reprise Charging the Void's theme but with little embellishments and inflections.... and that fucking spine tingling climax, best metal moment in years. Amazing!
Well, not really. It's all subjective and it depends what you mean by "pushing the boundaries". In a technical sense then I wholeheartedly agree. They're amazing, and their blend of thrash and black metal is really one of the most acerbic things I've ever heard. However, technical ability isn't everything. To be that technical and that progressive there has to be a sacrifice of basic repetitious hooks and overall catchiness, and believe it or not, being mega technical isn't universally appealing. Some folk just like a good riff and a straight beat, but bands like Vektor and Absu don't tend to stay on the same section or riff for very long. I'm a fan of both and I do love Vektor, but I can totally see why some people don't. At the end of the day there is no best, there is only favourite.
This gives me absolutely nothing. It's like a thrashy version of Dragonforce with Dani Filth on vocals. There's no groove or emotion, just quantize-precision riffs that are more than just similar to the riffs from a hundred previous thrash metal bands. The only difference is the technical aspects of the rhythms and faux-progressive metal elements. But that's just my personal and very subjective opinion (it's hard to impress someone who's been listening to Opeth since 1996).
I want an animated movie based on this album. kinda like the Heavy Metal movie but based entirely on the story told in this album. God, I could picture it already.
Goreface69 It's certainly a crazy experience. I already had huge expectations for this album, and it somehow managed to surpass them, which is quite rare.
+Rusty Shackleford I'm an album/EP junkie, I listen every night to like 1 or 2 albums, looking for that band/album that can really move me, take me places. After a few great and fun albums here and there, this one really hit the nail on the head, it moved me, it took me places, it was a trip, I finally have a new instant classic metal album I can play over and over and over... even just thinking in my head about some passages make me sigh and go "ugh... what a ride", like you just watched an epic movie or something really dramatic. Simply epic.
8:34 is just so wild. It just welds together triumph and tragedy like nothing I've ever heard before. Every single thing is on theme, narratively and musically, firing on all cylinders. A true climax. I don't trust people that dislike this song.
+Marcapasos along with Forests of Legend and Tetrastructural Minds for me. But I'm lying actually because I just love the new album and can't say what song is the best, they're all seems too good to me to choose.
Marcapasos I have a bias towards LCD being my favorite. But everything this band has made, for me, is a solid 10. truely a hallmark of metal. i cant say they are the new standard, because all metal would just seem a little more boring in comparison to this true masterpiece. a phenomenal work of art this album is.
Can't believe I went to high school with these guys. I didn't know them then, but I knew of them and Vektor. I was even into thrash at that time but never went to their shows. I should have. Oh well, it's nice to know there's a thin thread connecting me to a band that's getting great reviews.
@@drejcplanincjuvan8008 holy shit i have some things to look forward to in 2021 new vektor album new obscura album new eternity's end album maybe a new alkaloid album
The ending really stroke a chord with me, fantastic writing! They took snippets of different songs and made it fluid. They weren't kidding when they said it was one of their best songs yet.
+xXDeathMetalThrasherXx It wasn't really snippets from different songs, the last minute or so is essentially right from Charging the Void, just slightly reworked.
+xXDeathMetalThrasherXx +Anthony Petrillo The very beginning riff is from LCD, around the middle of the song. And when the clean vocals comes in it's essentially just a rehash of Collapse, then it goes into Charging the Void. I didn't catch the pillars of sand bit though, where was that?
I'm literally crying. What they've done, what they've created, what they've written and expressed through their music is something I just can't put to some words. Words aren't enough sometimes, and this is one of those moments. Thank you David, and thanks Vektor. I can't think of more elements I could ask for a band. This is just sublime.
We may say complete, but if Vektor manages to suprise me even after this, I may just end up losing my mind, just like the main character of this album's lyrical concept!
You know that feeling when youre holding a cute little puppy and you just wanna squeeze it to death? Yeah thats the kind of sensory overload i experience listening to vektor. Greatest band of all time easily (for me).
Very few songs have the power to make me completely speechless, but this... words just can not make enough justice to describe it. I'm literally in tears. This whole album was a journey like the time just stopped listening to it. I consider all of Vektor's albums masterpieces, but after listening to this for the first time i just sat there for minutes in silence after the record stopped just wondering and processing the phenomenal quality and talent i just witnessed. That's a sign of a good fucking album
+vitallifejuice I think these guys have made something remarkable with this album that will be remembered for generations to come. Nice corpse paint btw
This is what makes a classic album, something that most bands forget or are incapable of delivering: dynamics, climaxes, the ability to evoke emotion and move the listener. Of course the fact that Vektor are as technical as they are doesn't hurt either, but the things I mentioned can and are being successfully achieved even by some bands that are not this technical
For this moment in time, this was, and still is the best Metal song ever written imo. Nothing comes close to that, i literally stopped listening to metal because nothing could ever top this.
Had the same feeling when I listened to Psychotropia and Recharging the Void for the first time. Made me sad with Metal, despite being my favorite genre.
This moment when chorus is getting ahead its just so great, this sheer force of artism, cant even describe it. I just feel sory for people not listening to metal this days and chosing some random mainstream stuff. Absolutley one of best metal albums i have ever heard.
That's cool, but I don't think vektor is a good starting band for people wanting to get into metal, interesting how you actually liked this but not stuff like iron maiden and such... how did you find this in the first place?
What were u waiting for? Now u have a life to discover: Voivod, Coroner from the old school then Cryptosis and Vektor. U like thrash less technical but aggresive and with good lyrics? ASSASSIN first lp, Kreator of the mid 90s and the last ones, Testament, Forbidden, Sepultura all of them with the classic line up. Etc etc..then there tons of great undergrounf bands from the whole world..and i am sure from outer space too
@@gaborkrausz5402 Not the same person, but this song also singlehandedly got me into metal, and personally it was because I was coming from being a prog rock fan, so I wasn't interested in most 'normal metal' the same way I'm not interested in most 'normal rock'. I need a decent amount of complexity and variation to be interested, and boy does this song deliver on both fronts.
This song is amazing. 13 minutes long, but it doesn't feel dragged out at all. Not the mention the beautiful interlude at 5:41 and the masterpiece at 11:17.
you know what is crazy ? in some interview David told that they had to cut this one, if I remember correctly it was even a little bit over 20 minutes long innitially.... wouldn't mind hearing the whole thing, even so the double collapse/recharging remains best ending to an album ever... at leat in metal that is
5:12 The solo i have been keeping an ear out for throughout the album. Great job Erik. The solo take video on your channel made me laugh, and now it makes me weep with happiness of course. Thank you Vektor for the journey.
Someone other than me must have noticed this in the 5 years as of this comment that this has been out, but I haven’t seen anyone else mention it: 9:02 in this song is a callback to 2:49 in Cygnus Terminal
every time, every fucking time i have to stop doing whatever im doing to be amazed for the 362523635th time because of this heavenly crafted masterpiece... thank you Vektor
This band is more than just music. Their song dynamics make you forget about space and time. You became detachted from earthly tether so dense that you feel your flesh slipping away. You became the Void itself
Holy shit, that riff. That riff sounds like the Cygnus Terminal charging through space, its hull catching flames as it makes desperate flight toward the burning nebula that used to be Alshain.
Its 2020 and this song stills kicks ass. The beginning riff always feels like they're jump starting a portal(or Recharging it lol) and culminates with the band finally reaching liberation beyond the stars. Absolutely mind bending album and insane this was written by humans.
Absolutely stunning, wonderful, galactic, this music makes me fly between galaxies above all humanity !!!! Thanks Vektor, one of the best metal bands of the last 10 years !!!!
8:01 is probably the best part of the entire album. The low croaking raspiness of how the line is delivered, separate from the rest of the sung lines in the track; 'In darkness we will remain' opening into one of the most beautiful combinations of clean guitar and heavenly backing vocals. I've literally replayed this part dozens of times, and every time it gives me chills. That and the chorus at 11:17
Yeah this is definitely one of the peak moments on the album. Also the harmonies at 3:25 - 3:35 and 10:47 - 11:00, and that slow emotional part near the end of Cygnus Terminal. Cygnus Terminal and Recharging the Void are really the 2 songs that stand slightly above the rest.
Blackheart been enjoying this for nearly 6 months now. My favorite part must be the tempo shift from the chorus around 10 minutes and into the blazing outro. I just... WHAT EVEN IS THIS MASTERPIECE??
Not surprised at all. This and The Path of Apotheosis by Inferi are my two favorite albums off the top of my head (I mean as full albums, taking everything as a whole), and they both took a long time to write. You need a lot of time to make an album this good, where it is so heavily packed with material. No matter how good your band is, you can’t write albums like that in one or two years.
Yeah, so many great melodies in just one song combined with an unbelievably masterly technique and all of that stretched to a concept album that is 70 minutes long. No wonder it took a lot of time and effort. It's a modern classic.
+Luis Gutiérrez It's also played in reverse at the beginning of Charging the Void so it serves not only as a callback but also as a subtle audio bookend to the entire album.
man, when i worked my way trough tis album... i felt like i was reading the most epic sci fi story ever! and just as with a good book, it left a hole in me when i was finished.
The Pink Floyd influence at 6:19 is sublime, a perfect pre-ending, with this lyrics: "Illuminate what remains From a time when all sanctions were hallowed And our freedoms sucked straight from our marrow To bleed after refrain All we knew was the suffering Away, all of the shame and the sorrow Only hoping for endless tomorrows We look to cold, shimmering skies Feel the light passing by There's no light that reflects from our gallows Planets stricken to live in the shadows Of cold, shimmering skies All we ask is our story be told To young, beckoning, yearning worlds Who are struggling to be as one We are the light from a dying sun In darkness we will remain"
Is this the best song Vektor have put out yet? I think it might be up there. Need more time for the entire album to sink in. Cheers Vektor and Earache!
If I love album Terminal Redux ... I worship this song, we will build a religion around it and we will worship it in churches ... Recharging the void! O master! Absolute splendor!

8:04 to end : for sure the best music sequence you will ever hear in your life. Mystic experience
Try Jumalten Kaupunki
Perfect
Its 2020 and this song stills kicks ass. The beginning riff always feels like they're jump starting a portal(or Recharging it lol) and culminates with the band finally reaching liberation beyond the stars. Absolutely mind bending album and insane this was written by humans.
Absolutely stunning, wonderful, galactic, this music makes me fly between galaxies above all humanity !!!! Thanks Vektor, one of the best metal bands of the last 10 years !!!!
8:01 is probably the best part of the entire album.
The low croaking raspiness of how the line is delivered, separate from the rest of the sung lines in the track; 'In darkness we will remain' opening into one of the most beautiful combinations of clean guitar and heavenly backing vocals.
I've literally replayed this part dozens of times, and every time it gives me chills.
That and the chorus at 11:17
Yeah this is definitely one of the peak moments on the album. Also the harmonies at 3:25 - 3:35 and 10:47 - 11:00, and that slow emotional part near the end of Cygnus Terminal. Cygnus Terminal and Recharging the Void are really the 2 songs that stand slightly above the rest.
Blackheart been enjoying this for nearly 6 months now. My favorite part must be the tempo shift from the chorus around 10 minutes and into the blazing outro. I just... WHAT EVEN IS THIS MASTERPIECE??
3:59 Awesome Also 6:20 = "On The Turning Away Pink Floyd niceee!!!
What a legendary ending for a legendary album.
This album is very, very good I can not stop listening! Come to Brazil
Vektor is the best thrash metal band ever rip vektor
I didn't want the song to end.
I've never heard or heard of Vektor before.
That kicked ass.
Mindblowing masterpiece, I bought the album straightaway.
The last 5 minutes of this song is magical
Call me a nerd, but one of the good things about this song is that it's listed as 13:37 long.
patfix yes
L E E T
So is deliverance by opeth 😂
Nerd.
vektor said they took 4 years to write this album
Time well spent.
Not surprised at all. This and The Path of Apotheosis by Inferi are my two favorite albums off the top of my head (I mean as full albums, taking everything as a whole), and they both took a long time to write. You need a lot of time to make an album this good, where it is so heavily packed with material. No matter how good your band is, you can’t write albums like that in one or two years.
Yeah, so many great melodies in just one song combined with an unbelievably masterly technique and all of that stretched to a concept album that is 70 minutes long.
No wonder it took a lot of time and effort.
It's a modern classic.
This song is so good if Vektor never gets back together or produces another album as a swan song it's 100/10.
13:13 that's the opening of "Outer Isolation"
+Luis Gutiérrez It's also played in reverse at the beginning of Charging the Void so it serves not only as a callback but also as a subtle audio bookend to the entire album.
The section starting at 8:34 is utterly divine.
YES.
11:17 gives me goosebumps every time
Enjoyed it from beginning to end. The entire album, that is.
10:09 shit starts to heat up
10:28 and on: peaking, ascension, mindblowing stuff
8:33 is fucking heaven
Wow the clean guitar at 9:40 would have to be my favourite part of this track, it's a close call though
This is the best song of all time
This song is one hell of a journey..absolutely stunning
My second favorite metal album ever probably
You can't just leave a comment like that and not tell us what the first is, damnit!
@@Mikeanglo what an asshole he never replied
This is it guys,probably the best Thrash Metal album.
Fabio Dewitt it's all downhill from here.
WOW!!!
man, when i worked my way trough tis album... i felt like i was reading the most epic sci fi story ever! and just as with a good book, it left a hole in me when i was finished.
The Pink Floyd influence at 6:19 is sublime, a perfect pre-ending, with this lyrics:
"Illuminate what remains
From a time when all sanctions were hallowed
And our freedoms sucked straight from our marrow
To bleed after refrain
All we knew was the suffering
Away, all of the shame and the sorrow
Only hoping for endless tomorrows
We look to cold, shimmering skies
Feel the light passing by
There's no light that reflects from our gallows
Planets stricken to live in the shadows
Of cold, shimmering skies
All we ask is our story be told
To young, beckoning, yearning worlds
Who are struggling to be as one
We are the light from a dying sun
In darkness we will remain"
Indeed "On The Turning Away" of Pink Floyd 🤘☺
On the turning away!!!!!😲👍
Joan te la comiste!!!!!!😂😂😂😂
You say influence, I say ripped off.
@@JTNugget its only a rip off if tye band doesn't acknowledge it I wonder if they do
This song is so good that it's one of those songs people actually comment about, instead of telling you what band you should be listening to instead.
This has to be one of the best Metal songs of all Time, I haven't been able put this album down since it was released.
Is this the best song Vektor have put out yet? I think it might be up there. Need more time for the entire album to sink in. Cheers Vektor and Earache!
Yeah. It is!
If I love album Terminal Redux ... I worship this song, we will build a religion around it and we will worship it in churches ... Recharging the void! O master! Absolute splendor!
