LYRICS:
On Epsilon, 14 billion strong
Cygnus has always struggled for control; they told me it could not be done
Lies!
All they need is a technogenic disease
We supply for free
Parasites of technology
So easily moved in line
Addicted to the use of our
Exclusive rights
Have them screened (x3)
We feed off their disease
Track down the terrorist cells
See who is on my side
Interrogate the world
While we stay out of sight, right
You choose a page; we’ll pick apart your brain
We track your eyes with our cameras; we see your pupils dilate
Subliminal are the ways that we tame you
You’re feeling proud of what you have consumed
Parasites of technology
Addicted to our LCD screens
Molded and sleek to gain your trust
Now give yourself to us
Have them screened (x3)
Liquid crystal disease
Intangible cyber life
Too complacent to look outside
We are shaping the world
While we stay out of…
Parasites of technology
Your addiction is a disease
No regrets of a wasted life
You cannot touch what you see
Death, seems the only way
That you will even stray
Think upon what you’ve lost
As we archive your thoughts
I can use your remorse
To steer my ship on its course
Open the Oculus
Fear Cygnus, fear Cygnus
You can have claim to grounds
Of Enocules I have found
If you report to me
Morbid mastery….. is yours
I turn the screens on Cygnus
The cameras reading their eyes
Affixed to every device
They can tell no lies
Freedom of choice within
What you are given
No choice outside the small
World that you live in
They have led you astray
While I’ve been away
I can quiet the noise
I can give you a choice
I see Cygnus now as it truly is
They claim to bring balance, but they cannot to this
World with ideals that can’t be controlled by
Shadows in the sky who lie
Parasites of technology
The looking glass shows us the obscene
I see myself disconnected
I can wipe it clean
Have them screened (x3)
Feed their disease
Have them screened (x3)
Liquid crystal disease
Cygnus always thought this planet was unbalanced
I’ll do what they could never do. A full-out cleansing by a thought out annihilation

How many good riffs you want in the song? Vektor: Yes

[@pinkmullet4]

3:10 That _fucking_ riff...

So many cosmic and sci-fi references in their songs it's fucking great

[@AS-ws9pp]

It's so f...ing powerful!

[@rkj1963]

A "normal" metal band produces approx. just as many good riffs in their entire lifetime as this song alone contains ....

[@Naveronasis]

18 I counted 18 that is if you include solos and pairs of riffs played in a loop as a single riff. You could argue there are about 21.

[@VM0451]

Holy fuck, this is easily the track on which they found themselves completely. Every detail of their style mixed to perfection, and riffs that rhythmically are pretty different from their other stuff. This is the definition of thrash done with authenticity and originality. And let's not forget the mindset to improve and expand.

[@dejandjosic1258]

yes, if you search enough you can find good bands too, for example serbian band Quasarborn

[@LL-zw1dq]

@theh1n1shot Post-hardcore was a thing since the 80’s. All those scene bands are popcore, brocore, and mallcore, not post-hardcore. A real example of post-hardcore is Fugazi

+Eli Isaac Thanks for the bands! Just heard both and they are very good. :)

[@mrdeathamore]

+BoomBoomPeanuts metal is pretty huge, so every sub-genre has a powerful players. but Vektor is amazing, can't argue about it. Tons of tasty riffs, rhythms, solos, bass in Forests of Legend is one of my favorites amongs all bass performances, they surely know how to write songs.

[@zevreth2185]

I disagree, Anaal Nathrakh is still around

[@DeathMetalThrasher]

They've mastered thrash metal at this point, they are starting to sort of in a way create their own sound. I'm not saying a new genre (that would be dumb we have enough already) but a different way of playing thrash. Sort of how like people say a certain band sounds like Slayer, Kreator, Destruction, etc.

[@kennygates1192]

If it was a new genre, I'd call it High Metal :P

[@nekrobonbon4442]

I've been a metalhead for more than a decade but Vektor is something so unique and brilliant in the thrash genre - that they made me pick up the guitar and learn it. I will not rest till I am able to atleast play half of the riffs on this track \m/ Sci-fi or die \m/

[@omglolzbbqsauce]

Lyrical theme is about groups (probably google, NSA ect) monitoring/ studying us through our use of technology. "Parasites of technology Addicted to our LCD screens Molded and sleek to gain your trust Now give yourself to us" vektor isnt really beating around the bush here. Net neutrality and privacy is probably a concern of theirs ?? And they manage to tie it in beautifully with the story of their concept album.

[@InfamousQwaQwaFruit]

+omglolzbbqsauce I think that's a valid interpretation, but I also think it goes further to be a metaphor for smart phones or just society's general trance regarding technology. Take the following lyrics: Intangible cyber life Too complacent to look outside We are shaping the world So many people are content with burying their face into phone screens or laptops than to look around and take in what life was before these things were introduced. DiSanto did an awesome job of integrating actual relevant themes of surveillance, apathy, and control ON TOP of a narrative. Sorry for the long response, haha. I've been absolutely giddy about this album since the first single dropped.

[@omglolzbbqsauce]

+InfamousQwaQwaFruit ya i didn't feel like getting into the details. It's just a youtube comment not an essay lol. TV's, Smart Phones, Computer Screens, its all included in the LCD label. And they can all be used to monitory consumption habits to varying degrees.

Serious talk, as much as I loved Exmortus' new album this year in 2018, Terminal Redux has held a special place in my heart ever since I discovered Vektor's albums early this year. I love metal - metal is king, but Vektor KILLS, DOMINATES and DESTROYS the competition. I have yet find a modern thrash metal band that is anywhere near to Vektor's tier.
