Here is the second track of the Nucleus demo by the U.S. based thrash metal band Vektor. The song is called Venus Project. Vektor formed in 2002 under the name Locrian. They did not release anything under this name, and changed their name to Vektor in 2004. They released this demo that same year, and they put out follow up demos in 2006 and 2007. The band signed with Heavy Artillery Records in 2009 and recorded and released their debut album Black Future. After three albums, they would break up again in 2016. The band reformed in 2020 and is active as of me writing this,
Line up:
David DiSanto - Vocals, All instruments
Willy Redshaw - Drums
Lyrics:
They manufactured their fate
Machines still echo in these stark landscapes
Hallucinations of grandeur led them to boast
The distracted culture let the industries clench at their throats
They were choking in their billowy haste
Rising stacks spewed out toxic waste
Lethal injections left a toxic trace
The drugged atmosphere was a heavy embrace
Corrosive gases thickened the atmosphere
They moved through the unknown with their backs toward the mirror
The past comes to life on the Earth sect
Second in line as the Venus project
War was the priority for their future
It overrode the threat of the fast rising temperature point of no return as they blistered and peeled
It didn't matter though because their fate had been sealed
Trapped inside an envelope of nuclear overkill
They ensured all life to be born still
The Earth was pressure cooked as the water fled
The land was filled with the dust from the dead
Small jobs for big egos who let greed corrupt their lives
They knew their future was coming, but illusions diverted their eyes
Global dissonance, a scalding air of silence
Geographic reverberations of apathetic violence
Reminders of their greatness stand grim and barren
Alone and useless over vast expanses
The entirety of their race was brainwashed by scare tactics
Unable to see any truth under a veil of distraction
FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR
Kill them before they kill you
The result of that mentality led to...
Lifeless scenes emerge between the clouds of acidic mist
Metalloid structures crowd this puke colored abyss
The past is the only thing living on the planet
A runaway greenhouse affect destroyed everything organic
The species left their impact with radioactive craters
The cities lie flat on this nuclear future
Phase ten complete on the Venus project
Scorched rocks and molten lead will be the fate of man
Fear echoes strongly in this nuclear wasteland
