combustion07, thank you for a rare display of reason and empathy on this site



I'm ready to jump down the throats of abusers all day long and cancel everyone, but from what we are privy to, just from what we're privy to, I'm not sure he's a wild, violent abuser, like some of the knee-jerk comments here imply. Did we ever get more detail?

I'd like to be proven wrong though.



But to be honest, all these years later, I'm not sure another cup of this tech-thrash tea would entertain me as much as it did in 2016, not, at least, without some growth in songwriting and variety...but then would they even be Vektor anymore?

this is why we need Erikwithafro to come back and level with us

Nomos you're right as always but please stop making it sound like 2016 was a long time ago 😢



Time is moving too fast for my liking.

Recent statement by him:



""This little guy (my dog, Sprinkles) set off a chain of events that I never could've imagined. In early 2019 he was still being potty trained, and he left a little poo on the stairs in the middle of the night after I had gone to bed. It was around midnight when I was woken up by my wife standing next to the bed repeatedly slapping my head, pulling my hair, and digging into my chest with her nails, screaming and yelling at me to pick up his poop immediately. I kept telling her to 'leave me alone,' 'it can wait until the morning,' but she wouldn't stop after what seemed like 30 minutes. I finally stood up and was cornered against the wall between the bed and my dresser. I asked her to move so I could do the thing she was asking, but she wouldn't budge and kept instigating and escalating the situation. So, I picked her up and moved her onto the bed, out of my way, so I could get by. I then threw a pillow and reiterated to her, 'leave me alone.' "

" I don't have any kind of criminal record. I certainly have never been charged with any type of domestic violence. The mugshot that people are passing around is from a completely unrelated event from 2013 where I splashed beer on a Christian protester who was antagonizing the crowd at Scion Metal Fest in Memphis. I wasn't charged for anything regarding that either.



"Hopefully, people will eventually be able to judge us on our music and not our personal lives: my personal life. I'm continuing to better myself every day in all aspects of my life. It's a shame that we lost a record deal because of lies and slander, but we'll keep doing our best, continue to grow, and rise above the challenges. "

This stuff was from Sept 2022 but all new to me! Really sounds like this was a nothingburger.

well, on the one hand there's this information that makes me quite uncomfortable, but on the other hand, there's this information that confirms what I want more to be true

>Eggy I bet you're not even that old. xD



I'm old enough to appreciate that statement.



>this was a nothingburger.



Indeed, so let's never talk about it again (Impossible).

yeah why would a guy whose entire rest of the band ditched him, got signed and dropped within a 7 day period from one of the biggest metal record labels, and has been kicked off a notable festival have ANY reason to diminish the severity of his actions and make it seem like it was all a load of nothing

Clueless

We're suspecting they may be overreacting. They just played in my hometown by the way.

Good band tho.

Ultimate Artificer is so catchy. The way the vocal synch with the guitar melodies sometimes is so nice

‘Good band tho.‘

Are you sure this is relevant? There seems to be some doubt. I think we are supposed to cancel them 🤔

Album Rating: 4.0

Band has effectively been erased by cancel culture but good band nevertheless, now if we can just keep their recordings that 'd be a consolation.

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah. It’s okay though apparently people still like music made by literal murderers as long as its from the 90s

which literal murderers?
