Terminal Redux
Terminal Redux is the third album by the American technical thrash metal band Vektor, released on May 6, 2016. It is the band's first album released on Earache Records.[1] The album's lyrics are a sci-fi story about an astronaut finding the key to immortality and using it to gain vast political and financial power, eventually purposefully making himself mortal again following an existential crisis.[2]
Production and release
Vektor first played the song "Ultimate Artificer" live in August 2014, after roughly a year of writing new material.[3] The band spent much of 2015 in the studio, recording the album. In November of that year, the band announced that their upcoming album would be entitled Terminal Redux, and released a studio version of "Ultimate Artificer".[4] In February 2016, the band revealed the album's final release date, artwork, and track listing.[5]
