I love Vektor! One of the special things about Vektor is that they tune their guitars up a half step to F. So F Bb Eb Ab C F for the guitars and F Bb Eb Ab for the bass. The beats per minute for "Recharging the Void" is 200*.
*The intro is 208, then it's 200 for most of the riffs and 198 and 196 for some riffs and 93, 98, 99 and 114 for the different clean parts. The ending riffs are 201 bpm. So Presto+ most of the time.
Oh damn you listened to it! Yeah, the vocalist in Vektor is definitely influenced by Chuck Schuldiner of Death (another favorite band of mine). This guys style is like a blackened scream/shriek. And he did the singing in this song as well. They hired some backing R&B singers to do the Great Gig in the Sky style stuff. Glad you gave it a chance. The screaming fits this album really well as it tells the story of an immortal tyrannical dictator from his perspective. Dude came off sounding like a Xenomorph.
I know they're influenced by Voivod...
@Designated Shitposter Voivod is just one of their influences and it is way overstated because of their logo. This song (or the album for that matteR) sounds nothing like Voivod. They have so much more in their sound than Voivod. Check out Absu (Tara), Aspid, Death (of course), Emperor (later era) are by David's admission some of their major influences.
@@vicsdungeon Yeah man, theres a LOT of Emperor (specially Anthems and Prometheus, even some of Ihsahn's early solo stuff), Immortal (specially their mid/late 90s stuff) and Destruction influence, even Rush. Voivod is, like you said, overstated because of their logo. Maybe in Black Future, but in Terminal Redux their influence has been obviously watered down. This is their most Black Metal album yet.
The Death song you were talking about is Flesh and the Power It Holds, it's also one of my favorite Death songs. Chuck Schuldiner, the leader and vocalist/guitarist was indeed raised in Florida and was such an awesome guy. I never met him but just from his music and live performances, he leaves a legacy honestly. He was the only consistent member of Death, and the music ranges from growling vocals and death metal to screams and progressive, and even some technical metal. Every album is a work of art. You can tell the vocalist of Vektor was influenced by Chuck because his vocals have a very similar style. It makes me sad that Chuck isn't here anymore. Death was done before he died, but we still lost a great person and fantastic musician. I believe he was diagnosed with brain cancer, but the actual cause of death was pneumonia because his immune system was so weak from the cancer. Chuck makes me want to be a better person.
I'm sorry to hear about your son, Jared. I love that he was so influenced by Pantera and Death, two of my favorite bands as well. You should definitely do some Death. The vocals may take some getting used to, but I think they are easier to digest than Vektor's. I love screams and shrieks, but even this song was intense for me. About screams vs growls, growls are the lower sounding vocals yes. This song was all screams, at least what it sounded like. The main way to tell is the pitch, with growls resonating in a lower place, and screams from a higher place. Another way might be seeing if it's lower or higher than speaking voice (I just thought of that, no guarantee it's true). Vocals like these tend to seem fairly normal to me when performed, compared to growling. Everyone does their own differently, but it gets a lot easier over time. I have a bias for extreme vocalists :P I think of vocals as another instrument, so much that lyrics are always secondary
P.S. I love your reactions and the enthusiasm. They make songs I've heard many times, fun again. Channels like yours make me proud to be a metalhead
Quite possibly the greatest song ever written.
it's up there in terms of concept for sure
Best thrash album since Rust in peace. This song is a pure masterpiece
I will say that this band is almost always at mach 10. It was this album (Terminal Redux from 2016) where they introduced singing. And they only did it for 2 songs. "Recharging the Void" and "Collapse". It caught everyone off guard when they branched out like this.
Holy crap love Vektor
The whole Terminal Redux album is a story, and that is cool.
Periphery - Remain Indoors! Y’all are gonna love it. Take care!
Unleash the Archers- Awakening #painintheask
I’m sorry for your loss!

LET. HELIX. Take you Higher. "Ain't No High Like Rock and Roll".....
Over a year since you reviewed this but... I think it's worth looking at the lyrics for the full Terminal Redux album. The story/lyrics are pretty epic.
Track 1 - Charging the Void
The governmental body (Cygnus) of a planetary system (Epsilon) sends a lone astronaut on an "Isolation mission", and from the lyrics we can judge that it's essentially a one way trip towards the star system Alshain, which refers to the binary star system Beta Aquilae. Somewhere along the way, or when he arrives at one of the stars, he discovers some material (enocules) that gives him eternal life. He spends 13 years within Alshain, and during that time, he begins to realize his ambition to take revenge on Cygnus and attain absolute power.
Track 2 - Cygnus Terminal
He comes back to Cygnus bringing enocules (and I think he expected a hero's welcome), but all he receives are persecution and threats to his life, as Cygnus presents itself as balance and rejects his eternal life. He presents his immortality as an ultimatum from which neither of them benefit, so Cygnus eventually releases him. However, Cygnus' repeated attempts to take away his freedom, individuality and glory only serve to affirm his desire for power and for revenge on Cygnus, and he begins forming a plan to take over the star system.
Track 3 - LCD (Liquid Crystal Disease)
He ends up on the planet of Epsilon with a population of 14 billion. In spite of Cygnus' claims that the population cannot be controlled, the astronaut presents the "liquid crystal disease" as an alternative. He embeds the LCD, a technogenic virus, into every person on Epsilon, providing them with both entertainment and dependence. It serves as both a means of surveillance and a means of absolute control. Under Cygnus' nose, he starts implanting an idea in the minds of the people that Cygnus limits their freedom, and they can only be truly happy with absolute freedom that he will provide them. Meanwhile, he formulates a plan for what's basically planetary genocide as a way to weed out dissent.
Track 4/5 - Mountains Above the Sun (instrumental)/Ultimate Artificer
After the successes of the LCD, he begins building a fleet under Cygnus' nose, weaving a web of deception to conceal its true purpose, as he already has full control over their atmospheric power grids. His new fleet of "Reapers" is ready to "cleanse" the population of Epsilon. He wants to essentially defy or succeed the order of the "obelisk of the stars" by overthrowing Cygnus. For him, there's no need for the weight of the past to hold him back from his goal.
Track 6 - Pteropticon
The final phase of the LCD operation has been completed, and he's established control over every living being on Epsilon. He's found everyone who might pose a threat to his rise to power, and he sends out his Reapers to decimate the Pteropticon. (Given the context, I assume this is Cygnus' space force) He annihilates Cygnus, and eventually wipes out half of Epsilon's population.
Track 7 - Psychotropia
He's become connected to everyone through the LCD, and he begins losing his sense of individuality. His will is their will; his utopia is also their utopia. He offers them sanctuary, a place to rebuild using "sand", and they're free to mold it however they like. He has endless hope for his new regime because they now have literally endless time and absolute unity to go forth with its construction.
Track 8 - Pillars of Sand
Using his Reapers, the LCD, and dependence on the enocules, he continues expanding his empire, to the extent that opposition is nonexistent. The lyrics even compare the opposition to "pillars of sand". His rebuilding and will are like a drug, propelling him to go further. However, he soon begins to realize his folly, as he frantically builds up his regime and realizes there there is nowhere left to go and nothing left to do. He begins to lose his will to go further as he questions his actions, and whether endless time is truly what he wants. His own regime is a pillar of sand that can go no further. What comes up must go down.
Track 9 - Collapse
Just as time brings down a pillar of sand and cracks broken glass, his state of mind begins to fray. He belatedly realizes the weight of his actions, the amount of suffering he's caused and the hypocrisy that arises from the truth of his empire. In his mad dash for knowledge, power, and control, he comes to see that he himself has become what he originally detested. Eventually, he comes to the conclusion that "To live, we must die. We die to live."
Track 10 - Recharge the Void
He's lived far beyond when he should have died; his will is at his wit's end. He acknowledges that he's brought not balance but imbalance. He brings his "Terminal": the immortal populace, the Reapers, and the enocules, and casts them all and himself into Alshain, bringing an end to their eternal lives and tyranny and restoring the balance that Cygnus originally preached.
Hey Kel and Rich! Just found your channel and loving it. Something a little different for you (very orchestral but not in the Nightwish way), I recommend Dimmu Borgir - Gateways (Forces of the Northern Night version). Ideally watch the live performance with it, even if you don't show it...it's amazing.
Hey guys. Just happened upon your lovely channel. I love experience people's first reactions to amazing music that I myself had similar experiences with and I really love the genuine reactions from you both.
I'd like to recommend Haken's Aquarium. I believe it was their debut album and it's also a concept album that tells the story of a mermaid who is found by a fisherman who sells her to a circus, whose blood ends up being the only thing that can save mankind from a flood that was perpetuated by Global Warming. Aquarium is the second song on the album. If you guys enjoy that, I'd give the entire thing a listen. Especially if you're fans of Dream Theater and love classical influences!
Much love.
It's time for Steve Vai - For The Love of God (live with orchestra)
You'll be touched by God... I promise you that.. Hahahhaha
Pls, react to Jason Becker - Altitudes
He is awesome
I've been recently trying to get into these guys. The vocals require some extensive patience, at least for me. I'm slowly coming around. I will say that by far my favorite song of theirs is Collapse due to the long section of clean vocals.
Steven Wilson - Luminol
Cool that you reacted to vektor! My name is Jonas from sweden, and i think it would be great IF you reacted to a band from sweden Called A.C.T and the song called a truley gifted man from their DVD. Love from sweden. PS. There are so many great metal bands from our Little country of sweden that is a must for you to listen to, falconer i one of them. Have a great day
I have watched lots of reaction videos and NO ONE does any songs from the band Byzantine. Which should be illegal. Vastly underrated metal band. Please do a reaction from Byzantine. The song "To Release" is not a bad start.
o yea kel kel...
My condolences, Death really are not a shallow band, behind the genre you can find bands like death with amazing musicianship, very interesting topics, and open minds
My favourite song from Vektor is "Pteropticon" but I'd say the best choice for you guys would be "Collapse" :)
Good reaction but starting off with their latest stuff is maybe not a great idea. What happens a lot with reaction channels is people just immediately throw the most extreme examples of a groups style at the hosts.
Maybe next Vektor songs to try would be earlier stuff like Black Future or Asteroid
I think this album is their best stuff.
yea this is actually their most accessible album. I'd say they would enjoy Forest of Legend from the first record though. But Collapse is something they would definitely love with its clean parts and somewhat slower tempo
If you want to hear more of the band's work from older albums I'd recommend forests of legend or black future.
I think you would love Blind Guardian - And Then There was Silence (original version). German power metal. The song is about the fall of Troy. It's very epic with lots of layered vocals, guitars and symphonic elements.
Vektor! \m/
glad you reacted to symphony x but litlle sad that it was not odyssey but i recommend it again
Symphony X - Paradise lost
U won't regret it
Like most an acquired taste ! Yet this was interesting and not as foriegn as the first time hearing Ne Oblivcarious , Plague Flowers and Kelidiscope!! Which to watch was Jaw dropping !! Keep it up this was new for me also , better than I expected !!
Hey @Gerald Rinaldi! Glad you have been listening and watching our goings on. This is a win, IMO for all of us. Please check in with us as often as you wish. We read and see all comments. Big love GR, from both of us. LATER!!!!
@@Kel.N.RichReactions he is rigth you should react more to Ne Obliviscaris... it has made me feel music in a completely different way
Intermezzo No. 1 by Reinxeed. This is a cover of an instrumental song by ABBA but played metal style. Reinxeed is Swedish Metal band that like to cover ABBA songs. It's an amazing cover.
Today is my birthday. How about a reaction for I, The Creator by Monuments ??
The vocals on Terminal Redux are almost (almost!) typical black metal vocals. He had an extra something on the previous two albums, can't really describe it, you're gonna have to listen to them to get it. Black Future and Echoless Chamber are good examples (and fantastic songs. extreme thrash all the way through...)
As for a bio for Vektor, this review might help actually, it was for their second album, which was album of the month at the time in Metal Hammer (Greece):
vics-dungeon.blogspot.com/2016/01/vektor-outer-isolation-heavy-artillery.html
Interview with David DiSanto (vocalist, guitarist, composer, basically the band):
"Vocals (LOVE THEM!): Did they come out naturally? When you started singing what did you go for? Who are some of the sickest vocalists in your opinion?
Haha, thank you very much. My vocals do come out naturally, although I’ve noticed they continue to be refined over time. When I first started attempting vocals, I tried to layer my voice with a high shriek and a snarling growl in unison. I got inspiration from Schmier of Destruction, Mille of Kreator, Ihsahn of Emperor, and King Diamond. Those guys are my all time favourites."
Revisit Devin Townsend. Live At Royal Albert Hall. " Death Of Music " most powerful vocal performance of his career and this guy is in his late 40s .
OPETH- A fair judgement live at Shepherds bush... #painintheask... :)
4:36 ambatabus
Hi..if you like symphonic rock...there is no band greater than WISHBONE ASH...Steve Harris of iron maiden, said they were heavily influenced by wishbone ash...incidently, wishbone ash, we're the first band in the world, to feature two lead guitarist...check out their seminal album ARGUS..the king will come, is my favourite...but all the songs are great...please give them a react!!
Hi guys, maybe try Awakening by Unleash The Archers. Especially the live play through video version. Female fronted power metal at its finest.
Uriah Heep - Firefly ...one of my favorite
and then Weep in Silence, Misty Eyes, Footprints in the Snow, Wonderworld, Circus, Tales, Paradise, The Spell, The Park, High Priestess, Salisbury, Melinda, Why (Extended)
Guys...I am the porcupine tree lunatic 😜😜...You guys need to get back to them ..
1. Trains 2. Way out of here (live version) 3. Stat of something beautiful 4. Sound of muzak
Can't wait..🤘🤘 #painintheask
Ding ding! Next serving @Anurag Iyer ...
if'n you're digging this you should really check out the band voivod. go with anything from their DIMENSION HATROSS album.
Dream Theater - Trial Of Tears
My Dying Bride - Feel the Misery or Your River... really you could go with any MDB song
Hi Kel and Rich!! I'd really appreciate it if yall would react to my old band I was in back in high school. I was the drummer! Type "Pharaoh after man" (that was our band name) and u should see a song called "Backdoor" (live at scout bar.) It would mean the world to me to see you guys react to it! Love yalls channel!!
Awesome reactions guys ! dont know if youve heard any Melodic Death Metal.
Do check out INSOMNIUM - While we sleep /,,/ if you havent
Peace and Love from India
for me symphony x is like dream theather but with a better singer and songwriting highly recommended for you music and classic lovers
Now that you FINALLY have video playing (thanks for that) you need to go back & watch JINJER PISCES (live session) & see that it is only Tatiana that is doing the vocals...they have 1 song called Bad waters that is ALL smooth vocals..the rest of their stuff is pretty heavy & she growls alot..still great to watch though
Gojira!! heaviest matter of the universe!!!
Whitesnake - Judgement Day
Very respectfull reaction... good job.
Im into metal and especially hc punk for more than 30 years... and vektor just fucking blew me away. They just destroy most new metal bands around... as the child of voivod and death. Amazing stuff... i thought its kinda funny to talk bout bpm talking bout metal.... guess thats more interesting in Electronic music 😉
Kel really needs to react to nothing else matters by Metallica or another good one is sacred worlds by blind guardian. Sacred worlds is about ten minutes long but it has an orchestra along with electric guitars and drums and them singers voice is at times smooth and relaxing but at other times be loud and powerful I think she'd really like it!!
Wow reacting to Vektor?? You 2 got my respect now.
React to Annihilator-Welcome to your death, be the first on youtube.
Annihilator from Victoria, BC Canada?
@@Kel.N.RichReactions yeah Annihilator from Canada the one and only.
Sounds like the chipmunks dropped acid and speed and then drank drano
hashtag pain in the ask hehehehehe
can you please react to One Ok Rock the beginning live at Yokohoma Stadium
#PainInTheAsk
Victim of Changes - Judas Priest
do Bolt Thrower - inside the wire plz British death metal band no one I've seen who do metal reaction videos has done this band before
Nevermore The Learning
Ha ! No one explain a thing to you guys for this video
Vektor is Progressive Thrash Metal
The vocalist is David Di Santo he is definitely genius by judging his lyrics. that is high scream it's common in black metal scene
Right now Vektor is hiatus for nearly 2 yrs now because all the member just quit after they have a problem with David for not giving them enough creative.
you need to listen to Dream Theater-The Count of Tuscany. 19 mins of pure epicness.
We did! It’s up on our list... enjoy. We had a blast doing it. Thanks so much for stopping by and hanging with us. Later!
thanks for the reply you guys are awesome. @@Kel.N.RichReactions
I know we've had a huge dose of Dream Theater but could you please react to Another Hand/The Killing Hand Live at the Marquee by Dream Theater. James Labrie is at his best on this song. Thanks Rich and Kel. #pianinthask 😊😊😀😀🤯🤯🎸🎸🤯🤯👍😆😆
We will get to all DT eventually, some will be Kel-n-Rich 'Rewind Reaction' where we revisit songs we know / have heard and just give a listen together, react and discuss....Floyd, Metallica, Rush, Tull, more obscure bands / tracks, etc.
@@Kel.N.RichReactions I appreciate it. This is one I absolutely know both of you will love.
You've gone through a lot of genres but there's one VEEEEEEEEEEERY DIFFERENT that will blow your minds and Kel will specially love. It's symphonic black metal.... The epitome of Metal. This here is an intro band to the genre for you: Dimmu Borgir - Gateways live: ruclips.net/video/XGoak4ISCPU/видео.html
NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE -VIDEO)
please with video. nice greetings from Germany
They've already done this song.
@@martintrorey5901 yes but without the LIVE video .. I think the reaction is better :) anyway thank you :)
please react to One Ok Rock
Cool song, but growling on helium?
not a growl, a black metal scream. Early Vektor albums he did higher screams occasionally that are reminiscent of early Slayer. But with this album, I think they wanted a more typical blackened thrash sound (vocally).
like you but not your intimate during reactions.
Thanks...and we are like that. Won't change who we are. It's the authentic reaction. We are super in love, fortunately-mated and grooving with the music together. It doesn't get any better than that for us. We appreciate your honesty. Later!
Great music...horrible vocals
More like horrible post
Listen to The Contortionist - Primal Directive, Flourish, Oscillator or Contact. I think you'd appreciate the heaviness and pure melodic musicianship. Really any underrated band on YT.
