Vektor - Moonbase

The moonbase was hidden from view on the darkside
Operations were kept under wraps from the public's eye
I was teh head of the experiments focused on sustaining life on the moon
Little did I know, we would use our findings so soon
A rogue government's terrorist operants infiltrated the base
When I stumbled upon their plans, it was too late
Communications had been shut down
There would be no warning
Those of us not involved were just left to
Stand in the light of a dying day
Subterranean cavities beneath the lunar landscape
Would hide their plans in the works to destroy the human race
A biological threat was being sent with haste
The bombs would reach the Earth in just one day
Standing in the light of a dying day
I took a rover to the horizon to have one last look,
but as the light pierced my eyes, shame took my gut
Now I have one wish as i look at my friends
I wish i was on the earth so I could die with them
Virus bombs explode throughout the atmosphere
The virus is absorbed through the lungs
Once the virus enters the system, the blood congeals in the veins
Now the only survivors lie concealed in military bunkers
Awaiting and unsure of their fate
Blind to the origin of the assault
Now suspended in fluid wit wires running through their heads
Scanning minds of the scientists until there of no more use to them
Dispose of the bodies to be sure
Now our species is pure

Vektor are seriously the new gods of metal and the future of real metal.

[@Michael-Archonaeus]

Yeah? No.

[@ilikecats1234h]

Man I hope they'll bring back this song one day

[@guillotinedeath]

damn i remember when i used to have this back when they added me on myspace damn its been a while VEKTOR STILL CRUSHES THE COMPETITION

[@DawnPatroler]

This song can pretty much be the song for whats going on in Japan, makes me sad. You know theres a Japanese Vektor fan out there. Lets keep them in their thoughts

[@lancem3057]

After loving this masterpiece for many years, I have to comment. Moonbase gets better with every play! Fuck yeah, Vektor! \m/

[@ADeadHeaDz]

Quite possibly one of the most incredible songs I've ever listened to.

[@MunicipalDude]

Vektor isn't taking thrash metal into a new realm, rather, they are keeping the scene alive by producing quality metal. Love these guys!

[@pell_ee1278]

Maybe not at that time, but with the most recent works and terminal redux it can be said that they did it

[@ghostramen3768]

This track should be released as a single (no remastered version or new mix)

[@demonioira5464]

Like Hunger for Violence/Accelerating Universe??

[@TheDengo66]

whaaaaat!? this song is badass yo. its all good vektor kicks ass man. cheers bro!

[@HatsuneM1ku01]

Wish they’d record a high quality version lol

[@AcceleratingUniverse]

I think the demolition version of Tetrastructural Minds is superior so I guess I don't need it. Thank you for your comment anyway Miku I'm a big fan

[@TheDidiFerr]

Killer intro!! So Voivod style ;)

[@MehdiGlz]

I think by "forward" he means that is more "original", because 90% of modern thrash bands have the same style, but that doesn't mean they are bad.

[@Psychopharmacologic]

Wow, Modern Voivod!

[@blueCc29]

The main riff sounds like a really metal version of one of the melodies in Echoes

[@intecrisis]

This song sounds way better if you play it at 1.2 speed, then it sounds like their remastered album versions and is a lot more cohesive sounding.

[@thai5825]

i think its way 2 fast lol

[@TheDidiFerr]

intecrisis impressive :D

[@intecrisis]

thai land 1.25 speed that youtube can run it at is a tad too fast, 1.2 is pretty much perfect.

[@HarvesterOfEyes91]

Who else got reminded of Overkill's Evil never dies with that little drum beat at 3:23

[@maximilian_garay]

8:40 - 9:39

[@ArtemisAkiNatasGRE]

Indeed at x1.25 it sounds way better!! :P

[@megathrashmetalhead]

@slayyer000 if you live in arizona go to any record store and find them in the local section :p if you dont though you can buy "Black Future" off their website, that albums better than this by far... not saying this ones bad

[@kingnick710]

Damn! Where can I buy this shit!? Doesn't sound like I'll be able to find it at HMV

[@TheDengo66]

i want this copy. original vektor letters are better than their new logo. and by far this is prob in my opinion best new trash metal revival band. its different. although for sum reason it reminds me of like old school in flames with like death and sum others stuff. good shit tho!

[@EverestBlizzard]

The old logo is basically Voivod haha, I mean I knew they were influenced but that is taking it a tad too far xD

[@ColinC075]

I said taking thrash forward, not "taking it in a new direction". I also didn't say anything about being better than anyone. Your as drunk as I was apparently ;)

[@Nixkoool]

the light of a dying day un-gay way of say sunset

[@aswesee]

I LOVE vektor (hell i'm seeing them tomorrow) but they're nothing unique. They sound like a mix of voivod, sadus and watchtower. They only new addition in this mix is the vocals which still sound sadus-influenced.

[@chainkiller999]

Jake Himelfarb this comment no longer applies after Terminal Redux

[@alrecks619]

this comment no longer applies after *Black Future

[@kurtislueth6696]

PRECAPTURE MKULTRACIAMIBDIRECTOR CAN STAY DEAN K FREE

[@Xenysys]

There's no such thing as 'unique' and 'original' anymore. Everything has been done and people need to accept that. Now there's only good and bad variations of this.

[@OutFromOutWere]

Wrong

[@HatsuneM1ku01]

This comment aged well lol
