New Featured Artist: Vektor

by pishifat

Thrash legend Vektor joins the Featured Artist lineup!

Continuing the trend of pulling the best of the best metal bands into osu!, we're proud to introduce Vektor — an America-based thrash/progressive metal band with an unmistakablely impressive sound. Their metal masterpieces are a clear cut above the rest, iconized by endless high-BPM fills and vocal screeches that might make you think your neighbour is having a heart attack (in the most endearing way possible).

22 epic tracks have been scoured from across Vektor's 3 studio albums, all available for mapping now from their Featured Artist listing.

Distinguished metal mapper Mazzerin started the Vektor trend with his map of Fast Paced Society, so it's only fitting to introduce them to osu! officially with the same map. Check out the 5-way combo-holding competition in the video below, or preview these other songs:

Tetrastructural Minds

Check out this osu! map hosted by Makeli or this osu!taiko map hosted by radar!

Cosmic Cortex

Give this osu! map by Mazzerin an attempt or two. Or twenty. You'll need all of them.

/

Outer Isolation

Try playing this osu! map hosted by FCL!

Fast Paced Society

Play the osu! map from the video above hosted by Mazzerin. If you're a drum basher, this osu!taiko map by 3san and this osu!taiko map by Skull Kid are options too.

Recharging the Void

And lastly, check out this loved osu! map as the perfect finale to Vektor's music.

As per usual, many more songs behind this monumentous release can be found over at Vektor's Featured Artist listing. Pick up any track and you'll become the next Mazzerin in no time (results may vary).

One more artist is slated for this weekend. Keep tabs on the @osugame Twitter for news on that and some other special stuff coming near the end of the week. Until then!
