Oh shit, the Killjoy is reviewing a thrash metal album. Brace yourselves.

ADD-friendly review: This is not the worst album of the revivalist thrash movement I've come across.

In spite of my pseudo-crusade against anything revivalist, I admittedly found Vektor's Outer Isolation to be a clear step above the rest. Now, I compared these guys to Toxik when I first listened to the over-hyped debut, Black Future. They immediately built success off that sound, a highly technical form of thrash metal that even drew some appreciation from the prog crowd. Yet, people kept telling me how much more they had in common with Voivod, so I took a break and caught up with those old school thrashers.

Basically, if you listened to these guys before listening to Voivod and you didn't know Voivod is to thrash what Black Sabbath is to old folk's home, you'd think Vektor were being ripped off. Then you throw in Destruction, Coroner, Watchtower... all bands clearly miles ahead of Vektor, but all awesome bands. Which makes this awesome.

A proper review should focus more on the music than this, no? Well it's hard to focus on what's being presented here because it's all been done before and so much better. Ignoring the '80s and taking this for what it is (a contemporary thrash release), it's pretty cool shit. It's aggressive/progressive balls-to-the-wall-wrecking-your-neck-punishment-for-decadence. The problem is there is absolutely no identity. Like so many revivalist bands, it just makes you want to listen to the masters that did it better more than 20 years ago.

These are undoubtedly incredibly talented musicians capable of pulling off some of the most technical thrashing you've heard in the last decade. They write their songs with direction and magnitude (oh yeah!), the lengthier tracks refusing to wander around aimlessly; the shrieking vocals are pitched to perfection, almost spine-chillingly so; and the overall power keeps the album flowing without the stripped down heavy/power influence so many thrash metal outfits seem to be falling victim to.

If you're too lazy to check out thrash metal's golden years, then Vektor will help you re-live the past. If you're the "I read the book before it was a movie" kind of person, there isn't anything special going on here.

I have only one issue with it. If you can move the following paragraph: I appreciate the criticism, but I don't feel the change necessary because that's not how I wanted the review to play out. As explained (just a minute ago), I listened to the album and wrote the review to reflect the listening process. The first thing I noticed about this (and last) was the lack of originality. Throughout the album I was able to notice the quality of the songs, so the beginning and the end of the review are reflective of my initial and conclusive thoughts on the album, with the positive aspects in the body to represent how I felt listening to the body of the album. ---- "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something."

Angelic Storm Melodious Posts: 6675 From: UK	Permalink 04.12.2011 - 22:11 Angelic Storm Melodious Posts: 6675 From: UK Written by Troy Killjoy on 04.12.2011 at 21:32 Exactly, the fact that I focused on the lack of originality reflected how I felt when listening to the album. I wrote this review as I heard the album - it was like, I've heard this all before, but it's still some pretty solid thrash. And then it ended with ya, it's still not original but oh well, if you don't care for originality this is a good thrash album. I'd say that's pretty positive - if the only real downfall is the lack of originality. Yep, I think it's because most of the review seemed to focus on the unoriginality, that it could be misinterpreted by some as a negative review. But then when you realise the unoriginality was really the only criticsm levelled at the album, it does place the music in a much more positive light by the review. If I cared a lot about unoriginality, then I would see it as a very negative review. But in this day and age, when to be truly original in metal is undoubtedly a far harder task than it was in the 70's/80's/90's, then it's almost not living in the real world to expect originiality from new bands. For me, originality is always seen as a bonus, rather than a requirement from me to like a new band's music. The quality of the music itself is always the most important factor for me, and even if you are original, that certainly is not on it's own, necessarily going to result in a great album. In fact, it can sometimes result in terrible music. For me, what makes so many bands in the revivalist thrash seen so dull, isn't that they are unoriginal, it's that they by and large, have no real memorable songs. Much like many of the 2nd/3rd tier thrash bands that were around in the 80's. And vocals on their own certainly can give a band their own identity, take Forbidden. What really made them stand out from the pack wasn't so much their music (although it is great thrash), but the vocals of Russ Anderson. So I think even in this day and age, it is possible for a new thrash band to stand out from the crowd. I mentioned The Haunted in another thread, and for them, it was the hardcore vocals of Peter Dolving and an infusion of the Gothenburg sound that made their thrash so fresh, and identifiably "them".

I thought that was actually all relevant and you brought up good points - especially about the vocals. I mean, I didn't give the originality a 1, because there is still enough about Vektor that makes you think, oh this is Vektor. It's just that "this is Vektor" is like saying "oh this is a combination of everything I've already heard". Not that it means the music is bad. Like you said, originality seems like more of a bonus than a requirement. I listen to black and death metal up the yang. Out of the 200+ albums I've listened to this year, maybe a dozen or so could be considered original. As in, worthy of more than a 6 in the originality department. Avant-garde bands command higher originality ratings, but sometimes at the expense of good music. In this case, the originality didn't kill the enjoyment for me, as suggested by my overall rating and the positive remarks in my review. That being said, it's a lack of originality based on thrash metal - something that was already waning in the '90s. ---- "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something."

areida Posts: 1 From: USA	Permalink 06.12.2011 - 02:01 areida Posts: 1 From: USA This thread has amused me to no end, but I now feel compelled to comment. Like with all Great Disputes Between Gentlemen I feel truth lies somewhere in the blasted landscape between Killjoy and the inimitable Deadmeat. Is this a spankingly good release from a talented band? Yes, and the review acknowledges it as such. 75% is not a bad score. This isn't elementary school; no one is sending Vektor to bed without supper for getting a C, because that's not what 7.5 means. I'd call 3/4 stars a positive rating indeed. Does Vektor owe much to Destruction and Voivod (and Emperor, at times)? Yes, and I bet they'd gladly acknowledge that. The rhythm tracks on Tetrastructural Minds and Fast-Paced Society would fit in perfectly on Killing Technology. Schmier's fingerprints are all over Dave's riffing and singing. Ihsahn is probably a little jealous of what Vektor was able to do in the black metal section of the title track. The real argument here seems to be what the definition of originality is. Do you consider Quentin Tarantino original? He's made his career doing exactly what you accuse Vektor of: taking pieces of other's work and assembling them into a slick, fast-paced presentation. I have no problem with this, as by that analogy Outer Isolation is the Pulp Fiction of thrash. There are no real answers here. I love this album, and have spun it up almost daily since September. I do think Troy is unwise to discount the originality from only a handful of playthroughs. The lyrics are something that no review I've read has touched on beyond "Space nerd sci-fi werds", yet songwriting is the standout feature of Vektor for me. I'm sometimes baffled by the well, frankly, poetry that David creates. I think anyone who hasn't needs to take a listen to this album with the full lyrics open. I guarantee there's treasures to be found. Loading...
