Vektor<\/strong>‘s tour is probably one of the ones he most wanted to see in our country after having discovered his seminal debut Black Future<\/em><\/strong> in that distant year 2009. Not even with his second album, Outer Isolation<\/em><\/strong> (2011), did they come to drop by our territory, and the desire to enjoy their live performance only grew with the arrival of what for me is their most complete work, Terminal Redux<\/em><\/strong>, from 2016. The simple fact that in 2015 they hit the road with the First Contact Tour<\/em><\/strong> with the missing Distillator <\/strong>and Angelus Apatrida<\/strong> made me regain a certain enthusiasm when in 2016 they confirmed several concerts throughout our continent that finally did not reach our country, and later that same year they announced that three of its four members left the band<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that thorn still stuck, and having tasted the brief but effective Transmissions of Chaos<\/em><\/strong> (2021), the appointment in Barcelona with Comaniac<\/strong>, Algebra <\/strong>and Cryptosis<\/strong>, it must be said, was a more than obligatory stop in a busy week full of great concerts. The band in charge of opening the evening was the Swiss band Algebra<\/strong>, who with more than a decade and a half behind them came to the peninsula for the first time to present their new and most recent studio work, Chiroptera<\/em><\/strong>, which had been released a few weeks before arriving in Barcelona under the Unspeakable Ax Records<\/strong> label<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Algebra <\/strong>has been active since 2008, although it did not debut until 2012 with the notable Polymorph<\/em><\/strong>, from which we could only enjoy an energetic and direct cut like Crook<\/em><\/strong>. The Swiss quartet demonstrated to perfection their skill on stage with an enraged show that lit up the room from the first minutes, before a fairly small audience but very in tune with the adrenaline rush that the band offered in the seven songs they gave. life to his short but very intense setlist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band did a good review of their latest studio album, Chiroptera<\/em><\/strong>, where we greatly enjoyed solid cuts such as the one that gives title to the album itself, the powerful Suspect <\/em><\/strong>with which they ended the show and a very dedicated Accomplice <\/em><\/strong>with which they put all their effort on the grill, returning to Pulse?<\/em><\/strong> (2019) solely to offer us a more than worthy Inner Constraints. That night we were not able to enjoy any Feed the Ego <\/em><\/strong>songs, but I am sure that the band will return to our country in the not too distant future and hopefully we will be able to enjoy an entire show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
