Since 2008 they have consisted of David [=DiSanto=] (vocals, guitar), Erik Nelson (guitar), Blake Anderson (drums) and Frank Chin (bass).
Vektor's music, in contrast to many of the other bands from the mid-late 2000s old-school thrash revival, focuses on a more technical sound heavily inspired by Music/{{Voivod}}, with quite a bit of EpicRocking, subtle-but-noticeable BlackMetal elements and the incorporation of science-fiction themes in their lyrics and artwork. This has ultimately made them one of the movement's most acclaimed bands, as they are willing to go in directions not even the original thrash movement went in.
Vektor has released two albums, ''Black Future'' (2009) and ''Outer Isolation'' (2011), and are currently working on a third album.
!Vektor provides examples of the following tropes:
*BlackMetal: In addition to progressive thrash, their sound borrows quite a bit from black metal; David [=DiSanto=]'s vocals definitely have a shriek to them, an they are known to incorporate a number of blast beats into their music (something not seen terribly often in "regular" thrash).
*DeliberatelyMonochrome: The cover art for ''Black Future'', and largely the scheme followed for the Earache rerelease of ''Outer Isolation''.
