thank you so much! yeah they're not the most famous band in the world but it's counterbalanced by their critical success, i find that those who do know them often have a deeper appreciation for them, or maybe i'm projecting lol. And it's pretty crazy how unanimously terminal redux is considered to be one of the greatest metal albums ever

@arsouille1367 yea I get what you mean. It's such a bummer that all that stuff with David happened and I dream of the day that they make more music again, they deserve better.

Good job man!

Thanks! PS For some reason I can only open Pillars of Sand and Recharging the Void with GuitarTab, the rest gives out an error, I'll try to open with a different program, still Thanks! PPS Good old Linux penguin comes back to rescue, TuxGuitar can open the files no problem!

@@tubeoftheviper7779 oh i use guitar pro so i didn't realize there could be compatibiliy issues! well i'm glad you managed to get them to work !

thank you so much!!

Thank you bro! I hope you can record your forest of legend cover sometime if that's still planned i really want to see that! As for new stuff, i might do Activate someday but i've never learned it before and there's no live footage so i'm not sure if i will, or when. And Dead by Dawn should be in the new album in a reworked version so i'll be waiting for that to see what i want to do!

Thank you once again my friend! 2025 new album if the cosmos wills it! i've got no plans after this so we'll see !

👽🤝

Thank youuu so much for all the support!! Yeah this is the reason why it took so long to record that one haha, it was a lot of work to learn both part and get consistent for the entire song, but i really wanted to be honest with my abilities with these covers, no cuts or editing even if it's not perfect, and besides hey these guys used to play the entire album front to back and more everynight without fucking up once so i definitely still got room for improvement haha! cheers man, and yeah i've spoken with them a bit last year and i know for sure Erik is aware of them which is already so huge for me considering how much i've always looked up to him as a guitar player 😭

@@arsouille1367 The final take everyone sees: 😃 Days of failed recordings no one sees: 💀 but fr dude it would be my dream to talk to or meet Erik or David. I tried to comment on a Vektor Facebook post once and accidentally sent Vektor a messenger message. I meant to say "Hyped for the upcoming album🤘" in the comments but it sent a DM. I know Erik is the one that runs the Facebook, so when I saw that Vektor read my message It felt so awesome even though he didn't respond. Also, I have the original pressings of all the Vektor CDs including the original 2006 Demolition pressing. Only CDs I don't have is Hunger for Violence single and the original Nucleus demo because those virtually don't exist lol. I discovered Vektor after the drama happened, so if they ever end up touring the U.S. again I'm gonna try to see them.

@@Lukez1lla hahaha yeah pretty much, i don't try to record until i'm confident with the song so not a lot of failed recordings but i have to admit with this one i started to sweat a little bit by the end, like when i've been playing the song for 2 hours and i'm at the 11mn mark without fucking up, i'm like "oh shit is this the one? wait don't think about that you're gonna mess it up"🤣 idk if it's like that for every show, but where i saw them they were very approchable and hung out after, they took a picture and shook hands and had a chat with litteraly everyone until everyone was gone. Erik was even at the merch before the show so i talked to him multiple times and i can tell you he is the coolest nicest dude you'll ever meet, simply the goat 👑👑 oh it's awesome that you got such a collection even tho you're a "late" fan, and yeah the situation totally sucks for you guys in the usa, i hope they can play shows there again eventually... hopefully for the new album!

@@l.a.8841all is good my friend! it's quite a difficult song as you can imagine and i'm trying my best to do it justice! video coming in the next few days probably!

@@arsouille1367 glad to read that! if that's the case, it's all good, and in fact, RtV is a pretty difficult song on compass stuff

@@JackValentine-yy4vf 🤝

@@Letovosu thanks!! hmmm i guess? but not as easy at it seems honestly, some of these chords are pretty spicy and it took me some time to get everything to ring out nice! but yeah definitely a nice break from the blistering tempos of literally every other song haha

@@arsouille1367 i learned first solo on my 2nd year of guitar it was pretty easy to play, but vektor riffs made me hopeless when i tried.

@@willl676 Thank you! I haven't planned to do any vexovoid at the moment no, but we never know maybe someday 👽

In case you havent noticed he did chunk out part of The body to accomodate for the new bridge..

@@SelfPropelledDestiny yeah no chambering. i haven't noticed any change, but telecaster don't suffer from neck dive anyway so cutting out the head doesn't change anything. i did cut off a chunk of the body too so i guess you're right it could have even it out haha

thank you so much!!

great choice, love those bands as well!! yeah that chorus is really special, really catchy but without loosing any of the heaviness or the somber tone of the song and the album in general. and the fact it's such a short and catchy idea that keeps repeatiing like a mantra until the riff breaks down completely into dissonant diminished chords is a perfect musical analogy for the themes present in the lyrics, about how a society or anything that's stagnating is built on pillars of sand, meaning it will inevitably break down and collapse

i'm trying to get it done but with recharging the void might take a sec to record a good take lol we''ll see 🤣

@@arsouille1367Recharging the void is a song that really fits the definition of an “epic.” The ultimate final boss of the album! You got this!

@@Lukez1lla yeay definitely final boss vibe on that one, ending it with the biggest challenge.

yeesss that part is so tasty i had to play it as well or it didn't feel right! i'm not really playing it right tho, i decided to play an arrangement between how it sounds on the record and how stephen has been playing it in latest live shows, he is really adding a lot of great ideas to the bass parts. and fretless because why not 👽

@@Letovosu i would say it took me about 1 month/1month and a half to study and learn the album, and after that many many weeks of pratice to get consistent and comfortable with the songs 🤖

@@arsouille1367 awesome job! Waiting for activate!

@@drepfawx thank you for watching! yeah i'm not really a bass player but i just had to try to cover those insane solo, it's a highlight of the song for sure 😇

@@bxxx1401 yesss thank you, i feel like it's a bit under appreciated, its a favorite of mine too!🤝

@@Font_2 hey, yeah i spent a lot of time analyzing live footage so i'm pretty confident what i play is accurate, for now i've only tabbed out collapse, maybe i'll revise the tabs that are already out there

@@arsouille1367 Hope you do either make tabs or edit some of them, i've been trying to learn some of their stuff and currently struggling, what do you think is their easiest song for a newer guitarist?

@@Font_2 ​ @Font_2 you know what you motivated me lol so i'm rewriting tabs for the album, you can check either on songsterr i've done the first 3 songs for now, or i'll put them in this drive as well drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jb4p2fLnsoqFf0AH5BoKkw4E7nVVxPXN?usp=drive_link I don't think there"s really an easy vektor song for a newer player but the good news is you're gonna improve immensely if you try to learn them. of terminal redux i would say cygnus terminal is great, or psychotropia especially the slower parts. other than that Asteroid is super super fun to play and one of the least complex ones i feel. I'd also say try tetrastructural minds if you haven't already, definitely not easy but it's such a great song it's always gonna feel great to play even if you're struggling. And by practicing these riffs you're basically developping all the techniques used in their entire repertoire. But honestly i think the best vektor song to learn is the one YOU really want to play, theyre all gonna be diffiuclt at first so you should probably just dive into what is really motivating you. I was obsessed with Oblivion years ago and it was so hard dude, it kicked my ass so bad but i kept practicing everyday because i loved the song and wanted to play it so much, that's what carried me. At least that's how i learned, start as slow as you need and build up that precision and stamina 🤗🦾

​@@arsouille1367 Thank you! i've been learning outer isolation and i got the first 3 riffs down so i think i'll focus on that, cygnus terminal is for sure one i want to learn, i also have the first riff from tetrastructural minds i just need to get it faster, how long have you been playing guitar?

@@Font_2 isolation is no joke man congrats!! i've been playing for more than ten years, not sure how many exactly

@@warhumm3l that's awesome thank you so much!! let me know if you're struggling with something in particular i can try to help or even write some tabs if needed. good luck on your vektor journey 🦾🦾

yesss i love that section too, it's like the quintessential thrash metal riff pushed to it's limit, which not only sounds awesome but makes a lot of sense thematically to have it here in this song and this album if you think about it
