Vektor – Terminal Redux (2016)

October 11, 2017

Ahhh, the twisted and wonderful world of Vektor; coming across like a mix between Voivod and Dragonforce, and packing a vocalist that sounds like Chuck Schuldiner on crystal meth. I’m not really into this breed of hyper-thrash, but the sci-fi elements and the incredible density to the proceedings really adds a whole new edge to things. This is incredibly precise, dream-like yet lightening-fast metal, as if Devin Townsend drank too much coffee and smoked heroin at the same time.

Terminal Redux is a concept album. Personally, I’ve not quite scraped below the surface of this story yet, but I enjoyed the album all the same. Highlights for me include the opening / closing tracks and the ‘trio of Ps‘; “Pteropticon”, “Psychotropia” and “Pillar of Sand”.
