Right above the guitarsaw rating, it says: "Reviewed by Jeff Rogers." It should say, "Barely Survived by Jeff Rogers!" This is one incredible band! They combine thrash with progressive music and they also add in some out-of-this-world guitar runs. It's music such as this that gives me a reason to get out of bed at night. Vektor play fast thrash but add in the progressive element to keep in unpredictable and often throw in a jazz fusion blast just to keep you levitated.

I listened to their previous disc, 2009's "Black Future," and immediately started searching for more of their discography. Behold their newest offering to us lowly peasants entitled "Outer Isolation." It's more of the best music I've found that challenges me as a listener -- no more pedestrian existence allowed. Vektor are taking over the streets, avenues and alley ways. Best try to keep up or if possible, out of the way because you'll get flattened.

One of the most incredible traits of Vektor is that these guys play with such technical intensity you would think that eventually the wheels would come off but it never happens. They are so tight musically that when playing it creates a void between other bands who just subscribe to one form of music. Combining two very different styles of music, thrash and progressive, isn't easy to accomplish. Vektor not only elevate their prowess but they set the bar so high that other bands can barely visualize the lofty aspirations.

This disc should be a listening requirement for any band who wants to venture into this type of music. Vektor are at the top of this genre and they deserve to be recognized.

Vektor: David DiSanto – guitar/vocals; Erik Nelson – guitar; Frank Chin – bass; Blake Anderson – drums.
