Vektor formed in Philadelphia in 2003. Their debut album 'Black Future' came out in 2009, featuring intricate song structures and themes that leaned toward science fiction. The band's sound pulls from thrash metal and progressive elements, with songs like 'Dark Nebula' and 'Pillars of Sand' showing their blend of technical playing and cosmic lyrical ideas.
Their 2011 album 'Outer Isolation' brought more attention, and they followed it with 'Terminal Redux' in 2016 and 'Chronos' in 2020. The lineup has included founding members Blake Anderson on guitars and vocals and Frank Chin on drums. Their music tends to explore existential and cosmological themes, heard in tracks such as 'Dying World' and 'Echoless Chamber'.
In 2016, guitarist and vocalist David DiSanto faced accusations of sexual misconduct, and the band parted ways with him. Vektor's work since has continued to draw notice for its technical approach and imaginative scope, without the dramatic claims sometimes attached to their story.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
