>>64749234
Vektor essentially are a progressive metal band at heart. Their style (especially on Terminal Redux) consists of stacking 8 minute songs with sweet melodic guitar jingles that are pleasing to the ear while retaining a sense of intricacy. It's progressive blackened thrash, but the progressive aspect seems to make up 90% of their sound, with the thrash aspect being thrown in occasionally so the band has a subgenre to attach their progressive stylings to, the blackened parts come from the vocals and a few tremelo picked riffs that sound like poppier renditions of what you'd expect out of 90's Norway. This is where everything comes crashing down, despite the attempts to dress their music as heavy Vektor have no passion for it, they're able to write intricate melodies but that's about it, strip this album of the fluff and you have nothing left, it lacks the heaviness of thrash or the wickedness of black metal, it's safe progressive metal trying to appear heavy and that is why Vektor are shit. They're certainly miles ahead of every techwank Necrophagist clone out there considering their riffs aren't headache inducing but that doesn't change that they are weak limp wristed blackened thrash repackaged for easy consumption.

Nothing bad with it, it's what they do.

>strip this album of the fluff and you have nothing left
So, strip the content of the album and you have nothing left? Seems correct, but I don't see what's the problem. They do their thing, and it sounds good. In my opinion of course.
They're inventive, try to mix things up, do fun music. And in the end, it sounds good.
>they are weak limp wristed blackened thrash repackaged for easy consumption
You can't live on 2deep4u srs bsnss metal for eternity, bands like Vektor are good in their own right. They do their thing, they do it well, it sounds good, and it brings fresh air in the midst of 2deep4u shit.
>They are sellouts because they're easy to consume waaaaaah
Iron Maiden is even easier to consume, and no one can say they are shit just because of it. And they write the same song over and over again, at least until the last three albums.
What does your average Vektor fan look like?
>>64749605
Sure, but most of the time I hear a metal band that I'm not that into I don't think that means they're fucking trash and anyone who likes them is retarded. For example Vektor, while I wouldn't choose them if I wanted to sit down and listen to some music I don't feel the need to go on here and shitpost.
In fact I can't even think of a metal band that I HATE other than rings of saturn and that's because they're actual hacks
black posting was best shitpost imo.

>Iron Maiden is even easier to consume
Iron Maiden don't try being blackened thrash, Iron Maiden are merely traditional heavy metal with great riffs and that's it. That's how it should be, plenty of bands do prog right in metal but Vektor aren't one of them. Their riffs (with the exception of a few) lack the punch that thrash metal needs, they're sweet and they're technical but they're not heavy, there are more good thrash riffs in Blasphemer by Sodom than there are in Vektor's career. Black Fast are a similar band who do Vektor's style much much better.
>>64749907

SOAD is always going to be that band me and my friend meme about for eternity due to how important it was to us when we were younger and therefore how it important it was to us.
SOAD jokes are some of my favorite things with him.
>>64749714
things i like about soad
a) guitar tone and shit
b) they have nice energy in their music and its melodical like aerials
c) their lyrics are decent when they dont go all on full meme mode (for example BYOB touches important topics that not one gives a fuck sadly)
what i dislike
a) sometiumes they put on meme overdrive and their song are unlistenable like the pizza shit
b)their music is rather simple and gets boring real fast
Inquisition fucking blow fuck that band
>>64749936

>Their riffs (with the exception of a few) lack the punch that thrash metal needs, they're sweet and they're technical but they're not heavy, there are more good thrash riffs in Blasphemer by Sodom than there are in Vektor's career
Some riffs are meant to be technical and/or sweet, or fun or whatever, not heavy. You want heavyness? Listen to doom or something like that, because straight death or black aren't "heavy" either. It depends on perspective.
>Black Fast are a similar band who do Vektor's style much much better.

There's progressive metal I like and I listen to a lot of non metal music, metal is best being heavy and riff driven.
>So you're implying Vekor are a bunch of posers or something silly like that?
No I'm not implying that, I'll outroght say it. Vektors are posers who bring shame to blackened thrash.
>because straight death or black aren't "heavy" either.
lmao
And yes Black Fat are better, thrashier riffs, more concise songwriting, less fluff. Whole not ideal I'd rather listened to them over Vektor any day.

fffffffuck yooouuuuuuuu
>>64750693
It's like they're allergic to trying to write something good. Every riff they write needs to be as cluttered and frantic as can be with no regard to tone or direction.
Off the bat this is just another death metal album in name only, it has the growls, it has the distortion, and it has the hyper fast drumming, but everything is assembled so mechanically together, topped off with such digital cleanness and shiny pristine, like it wants to seem heavy but is so ashamed to be a part of the scene. There's no passion here, it's like some snobby music professors tried their hands at making "intelligent" death metal, they wrote a checklist for what they thought would be necessary to count as death metal and then filled it with needless complexity for that "intelligent" aspect. Riffs vary between being fast and intricate slurries of notes to being basic, but still fast, death metal chugs you've heard a million times over, everything wrapped up in a brick walled to fuck production where bass is only audible when the band wants to remind you that they do indeed have a bassist. Songs are long, aimless, and twist and turn without any bit of focus. Riff (and I use that term quite loosely here) leading into riff leading into solo leading into riff comprises the song writing ideas here, with some occasional orchestral samples thrown in to make this album seem grander than it is. It's a nauseating and headache inducing experience, while not as annoying as Brain Drill or Monumental Torment, it's equally as flashy and unnecessary. Completely irredeemable garbage with not one decent moment in its duration.

It doesn't work with decapitated especially winds of creation, that album is beyond perfect, objectively at the very least a 9
>>64750053
>So you're implying Vekor are a bunch of posers or something silly like that?
Of course not, it's not me but the Black Metal influences come in stronger toward the end of the album. I would say they are not even there in the first 1/3 of the album at all. There are some strong "droning" atmospheric sections with exact Black Metal drumming and slightly more melodic black metal guitar work. These are normally preceded and followed my very non Black Metal riffs helping to give the last half of the album a more progressive sound while also masking the Black Metal.
