As someone whose favorite metal band is Voivod: Vektor don't resemble them more than aesthetically. Voivod are punky, noise-rocky, psychedelic and dissonant. Vektor are as melodic as late-era Death at times, and a lot more wanky and flashy.

War and Pain is a great thrash album and Nothingface is an acquired taste, but just as good. That is my opinion on Voivod.

Nothingface is maybe my favorite metal album. The songwriting is so, so fluid despite being incredibly complex. With Vektor, the only thing that sticks with me is the solo of Fast Paced Society. The rest is too padded, too many generic neothrash riffs, time-wasting prog bits. Seriously, Black Future is so loving drawn-out, it's absolutely exasperating.

Vulture Culture posted:Yeah, Dimension Hatröss is the only album that sounds particularly close to Vektor's sound, and only if you completely tune out the vocals on both. And if you don't do that, Voivod's musical approach is probably closer to Devo than another metal band. More directly Die Kreuzen than Devo, but you can tell they were strongly inspired by post-punk and noise rock, in addition to the obvious Floyd/Crimson and thrash metal. With Vektor, Obliveon and Aspid are probably clearer antecedents to their sound. If their logo wasn't modeled off Voivod's, it'd be obvious that they were on very different parts of the tech thrash continuum.

I didn't even notice the logo until recently. They're the only band I can think of that comes close to doing Snake's riffing style. Plus their vocalist said Voivod has been his favorite band since he was 16. They're not the sole influence but I think their love of Voivod is extremely obvious in the sound.

Saw Eyehategod play last night. Great set. Drove down from Canada for eight hours to see them and it was absolutely worth it. They played forever. Mike Williams is.... something else. He seemed incredibly hosed up, but I dunno how much of that was just him being in the zone for performance and how much was some drug cocktail. Maybe both. He was on point for the songs though.

It's just something about the experience of seeing them. ...it's awesome. I'm seeing Absu in about 4 hours in Raleigh, NC. If anyone's going and sees a guy in a Leviathan shirt, say hi.

Henchman of Santa posted:They're the only band I can think of that comes close to doing Snake's riffing style. That seems to be pretty difficult to achieve, given that Snake is the vocalist. Can you give me one example of a Vektor riff that sounds like a Voivod riff? Discount how different the songwriting is, any examples of riffs with the detuned and caustic dissonant feeling of Voivod? If I had to pick any bands, I'd say that the Japanese band DOOM come closest to Voivod's sound, but their videos aren't available on YouTube in America. Otherwise, my picks for "closest to Voivod's riff style" would be Lob of Lemmings, Cyberhed, and Thought Industry.

Scrambles posted:I was in the white godflesh shirt, that was a helluva show Yeah, good grief Absu was good. There's NO way Proscriptor isn't on cocaine or something. That man has superhuman levels of energy. Also there were two girls at the very front who were alternating between making out with each other, and literally trying to grab the bassist's dick. It was... weird.

Hey, here's some metal bands that, so far, I've enjoyed everything of their's that I've heard. These are just a few bands I can think of that I've not found anything they put out that I didn't enjoy. Can the elitist douches of this thread articulate what's wrong with my taste in music, and suggest something better? (I know you're not all of you are douches, but I'm asking this of those who are) Emperor Ihsahn Darkthrone DragonForce Cannibal Corpse Death Celtic Frost Anaal Nathrakh Woe of Tyrants Beyond Creation Moonsorrow Finntroll Slayer
