damn vektor has a great bassist. and a great drummer. and a great guitarist. and another great guitarist.

[@metalaviator]

Unfortunately this line up is not together anymore! I feel blessed for this live......

[@novaseer]

@@metalaviator It is now! (although with a different drummer and bassist)

[@Adamo_92]

The drummer of Vektor is one of the best drummers I've ever heard.

[@metalaviator]

BeachDude0092 of course he is! Drum machine!

[@Adamo_92]

That and also I find that he's significant and has he's own artistic techniques.

[@BlakeAnderson1]

Too kind sir. Glad you enjoy it. :)

[@rorbot_SMF]

Absolutely!

[@DoggoWillink]

Blake Anderson It sucks you guys left Vektor. This album is one of the best I’ve ever heard, subgenres aside (I’m a death metal head honestly). I don’t say that in a bad way like it was your fault I’m just saying.

[@ryancarpenter9289]

don't understand how they don't all have popeye sized forearms with this strumming. so talented

[@metalaviator]

I don't understand either....in any case their playing is supernatural!!!

[@michal5058]

Relentless musicianship

Dude.. this is fucking gold for a guitarist. Thank you man.

[@metalaviator]

Thank you! Enjoy and share!

[@rorbot_SMF]

I remember hearing Terminal Redux for the first time (on a whim as it was in my KZbin suggestions) and by the end of the album I was thinking: I never knew how much I needed more music from Vektor till I heard that album. I love how it’s thrashy and more straightforward in terms of riffs compared to modern prog metal. Don’t get me wrong, I love modern prog, but the raw, no-frills nature of thrash will always have a place in my heart.

[@metalaviator]

I was lucky to see them live with this line up! I look forward to see the next step of the band.....

[@fleshvessel6193]

holy fuck, this is like hearing slayer or sodom for the first time.

[@metalaviator]

Oh yes! It really worthy to explore their music.....back to "Bay Area" Thrash routes!

[@guhuhhuh1684]

What an amazing piece of music thus is

[@metalaviator]

Guh uh Huh oh yes! And I was so like to attend this live....

[@meowtherainbowx4163]

I know that the whole album had a concept, but the songwriting in "Charging the Void" makes it sound like a journey in itself.

[@mariejudesmart649]

I could watch this forever! I love Vektor but never got the see them live. So this vid is really amazing! Thanks so much

[@novaseer]

They're back together, so you might get your chance!

[@js92css]

@@novaseer where did you read this? I missed out seeing them and really want to catch them after all this shit is over. Im ready to see live music again!

[@novaseer]

@@js92css a metal discord I'm in posted a FB post from the band which said they were back and making new music

[@MarshTheDarsh]

Absolutely immense

[@naturesembrace2354]

I've been waiting for this since the album came out.

[@naturesembrace2354]

They even nailed the "Oh Shahin-i-tarazu, now my flesh is born anew" part. Holy shit!

[@metalaviator]

Enjoy it! 2 more videos will follow. Attending Vektor's live performance, is a "scifi thrash" unique experience.....

[@Mohgenstein]

This is insane

[@virtueofsunlight1342]

no wonder drummer is so thin, he's going bunkers back there... hope david gets the band going again soon.

[@metalaviator]

Alcino Acosta I hope so!

[@novaseer]

Welp, he did!

[@daneOcawdor]

It's great to see these guys doing their thing. I will never see them. But I thank you for uploading this dude. This collision of galactic thrash and death metal virtuouso musicianship and arrangements with space opera themes is staggering. What an achievement. I have to ponderously work my way through the previous two albums. Glad they burnt so bright, even though it was fleeting naaaaow

[@metalaviator]

Dane of Cawdor totally agree! And I feel luck to attend to this incredible performance! Enjoy all my videos!🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@daneOcawdor]

@@metalaviator Yeah man. Very lucky. Wish I had been aware of them when they played Bloodstock and London in the UK that summer - 2016. Cheers

[@Zunidrap]

Incredible performance! Thanks for sharing.

[@metalaviator]

The band is together again and announced another show in Athens! Can’t wait for another great show!

[@Zunidrap]

@@metalaviator Hell yeah! I'm looking forward to their show in Belgium too.

[@riodatech.3045]

damn... this drummer...

[@metalaviator]

Rioda Tech. Killer!!!

[@youfeartomorrow]

Man, if fucking sucks that everybody quit but Dave. He's supposedly still carrying on with Vektor though.

[@oAPXo]

There's a little word going on that it's due to his wife. She pulled a yoko, and it doesn't help that people who go to the shows and talk to the members say she's well.. a bitch. Rude and etc.

[@cleansed_in_pestilence_3004]

If he doesn't find any new members i might audition

[@mmaking8664]

Go for it dude

@_Metal_ Aviator_ Hey man, are you the guy who has the Outer Isolation record with the arrow that points to the Spaceman, and the story along with it? I can't find that comment anywhere and I read it a long time ago. I need to see that collection again! If it wasn't you that's cool, maybe you know who or what I mean?

[@metalaviator]

I have posted in my instagram account all Vektor vinyls 3-4 years ago! Sorry i dont remember something like that! My IG account is "metalaviator"! Search the hashtag #vektor and maybe you are lucky!

@@HaroldnolikeGerald only ones similar in style are Dani Filth and Chuck Shuldiner

[@henrywalton5967]

@@TBaggins96 I believe he took some inspiration from Ihsahn Emperor era too. What's really interesting about David is it sounds like he's doing inhales sometimes but I don't think he actually is. He sounds like he's gasping for oxygen in space constantly haha

[@TBaggins96]

@@henrywalton5967 interestingly I have thought that as well. There are some vocal stunts he does sometimes, especially on a song like Cygnus Terminal, that I have never heard from anyone else

[@henrywalton5967]

@@TBaggins96 yeah that's definitely one of his best vocal performances, especially the album version. I kinda dig the lower vocals that he rarely does, maybe he'll implement them more on the new album!
