### Vektor: Black future

#### 12/07/10 || HailandKill

To think Vektor are four quite talented 21 year olds with newly grown pubic bushes. Alright, that last pubic bit is a mite exaggeration, but it does bode well for American youth to know that instead of earning college degrees that bury them in student loans, the younger set are instead busy honing their musical chops and executing masterful first albums. Such is “Black Future”, the vintage weirdo thrash release from Vektor who are pretty goddamn lucky to have found a home in Heavy Artillery Records, one of the few labels today who never stray from their vision of making the old school relevant even if said old schoolers were born at the time of the ‘old school’. Confused? No surprise there. Confusion is the state you’ll be left in after surviving “Black Future” which starts on a rather kvlt note on its opening salvo and title track.

More than a thrash band despite the rapid fire riffs and machinegun percussion, Vektor use lyrics loaded with gray matter for arrangements so complex, most newly emerged ‘depressive’, ‘melo death’, and ‘core’ bands shall slink away in shame. These vermin still seem to be infecting the U.S. underground scene to this day. Mostly generic and wholly untalented. What needs to be done is to have a spear run right through the heart of this ongoing trend, and who better to execute such a grim task than Vektor? Vektor are endless riffs, layers upon layers of incinerating drums, boiling shreds that you can cook scrambled eggs with, and vintage 80s vocals from David Disanto that are quite frankly hilarious. His squealing ghoul vocals, not the lyrics.

Like a starship caught in the vacuum of a black hole, Vektor sucks the listener right in on such relentless cuts as “Destroying The Cosmos” and “Hunger For Violence”. It’s all sweet nipples until matters go out of hand by the time “Asteroid” comes streaking across your speakers trailing leads and high pitched fusillades before it crash lands on Suckville, Tennessee, killing the entire population along with your interest in hearing more Vektor. Like 100% of ambitious bands who embark on a massive album, Vektor run the risk of overloading our senses with so much clutter, it massacres our craving for great music. Since this is the case for most of the album, go ahead and stab “Dark Nebula” and “Forest of Legend” with a fork.
