Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

Being so into this album has actually helped me enjoy their older albums more too. Saw them in March and that shit was fire.

Agreed Tacos, it's really damn cool.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Well fuck. Guess it was inevitable.



Was definitely cool to see a metal album get such a high rating and maintain it for nearly 300 ratings. I think it'll settle at a 4.4 eventually.

^^^Which is still pretty nuts.

"For 2 years Iso Subject 5 (IS5) has wandered the galaxy on a reconnaissance mission searching for the constellation Aquila (Alshain) which contains the sands of time that grant immortal life. IS5 successfully obtained the sands of time, and returned through a black hole from which he departed on his journey. Presumed dead by Cygnus, the ruling government of his home planet Epsilon, IS5 returns to be greeted with accusations of lunacy from his time spent in galactic isolation and is threatened with death by Cygnus. Back on Epsilon, IS5 finds its 14 billion inhabitants are unknowingly being controlled by government technology. Royally pissed, IS5 seeks revenge to overthrow the tyrannical rule of Cygnus. IS5, with support of the united galactic nations known as the Sanctioned Spheres, takes to the sky with the air force squadron The Reapers (aka Pteropticon). Raining a storm of death upon Epsilon, IS5’s retaliation severely cripples the Cygnus regime paving way for a new utopia, Psychotropia, to rise on Epsilon. Using the sands of time IS5 creates a genetically altered, immortal super race to live in harmony and peace in the wasteland that is now Epsilon. Over time IS5 begins to realize the blessing of eternal life is a curse, as time never ends and the people of Psychotropia are forced to exist for all eternity. His discovery that there is no life without death sends him into a spiraling realization that his existence must end in order to find closure. Once again traveling through the black hole, he returns to the constellation Aquila, and sacrifices himself and the sands of time to the burning stars within.







I'm curious to see what other people thought about it."



Would you say DiSanto is changing the narrator at times in the lyrics?

Wow. Going in completely blind.



You like the band Death though, so you might dig this.



The only modern thrash band that I think is legit.

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah I like metal a lot it's just usually not my first choice, this has an absurd amount of hype though so I gotta see what it's about

I went into this blind too. And I left blind because these riffs tore my fuckin eyeballs out.

Sometimes super techy stuff kind of annoys me, but Vektor does it right for some reason. Part of it has to do with production I gotta admit. And that's why I wasn't quite as high on Outer Isolation. That one was a bit over-produced.



But bands like Fallujah and even Necrophagist to an extent get on my nerves with the robotic playing and the pristine production.



Vektor has enough 'edge' to them. Like how Death and Coroner and others did.

Back up to 4.6 hahaha accept it

Album Rating: 4.5

"Would you say DiSanto is changing the narrator at times in the lyrics?"



I think so! In Cygnus terminal the lyrical part "why don't we just kill you now and lay this all to rest" seems to be directed at the main character. I'm sure I misinterpreted some parts, but there's no denying it's a really great story and the lyrics are masterfully written. I thought the music alone is worth 4.5 stars but the story and imagery are icing on the cake.

I just tried this out and while I know that this really isn't my genre of music, I sincerely like the instrumentation, the vocals just really put me off.
