Vektor signed with and was dropped by Century Media all in the span of a week

Well that was quick

Vektor, a progressive thrash act, was signed earlier this week by Century Media. The label noted at the time that Vektor would be recording their fourth album with the label and touring Europe later this year.

Century Media released this announcement at the time of the signing:

"We are extremely pleased to announce that Vektor has signed with Century Media Records!" said the label at the time. "They have long been on our radar, and we couldn't be happier for this new partnership. Recording of our fourth studio album has commenced and we have set the bar very high for ourselves once again. We are eager to begin the next phase of our global takeover with such a legendary record label. On the heels of this amazing news, we cannot wait to begin our European tour this fall after a nearly six-year hiatus. See you out there, Vektonauts!"

Due to allegations (and video) of Vektor frontman David DiSanto assaulting his wife in 2019, the signing caused a significant amount of backlash. DiSanto's wife noted that she had been fighting David for a long time, and he denied the allegations. After everyone quit the band in 2016, Vektor took a hiatus and reformed as an independent band in 2020. Vektor's return was welcomed by some fans, but DiSanto's return wasn't to everyone's liking.

Due to such backlash, it has been announced that Century Media is parting ways with Vektor. Other than on its Instagram, the label did not elaborate on its decision.

Label hasn't been worthwhile for a long time anyways, especially after they dropped Iced Earth because how dare Jon take part in the January 6 boomer rager

All the dudes supporting Vektor in this thread want to be dommed hard by some curly perm having middled aged thrash metal meth head.

Wasn't the "video evidence" of the "assault" him hitting her with a pilllow or am I think of something else?

anonymous 9/16/2022 11:38:42 AM

Wasn't the "video evidence" of the "assault" him hitting her with a pilllow or am I think of something else? Yeah, after his fists.

anonymous 9/16/2022 11:50:56 AM

I'm assuming the band sucked anyways. These European labels have terrible AR reps.

They're no Voivod.

Keith Buckley wouldn't put up with this.

Tim Lambesis literally tried to have his wife murdered but a little domestic violence and these guys get shit housed? No consistency in this bull shit industry. Not that I'm condemning either of them. It's just gay.

anonymous 9/16/2022 12:01:57 PM

^ It's almost like people aren't qualified to make these calls. If only there were some kind of system in which alleged crimes are investigated and if found to be true, punished to sort of consistent standard. Alas, nothing like that exists, so we just have to let the most mentally ill people on the planet run a public inquisition.

anonymous 9/16/2022 12:02:24 PM

That observation wins! ^

anonymous 9/16/2022 12:05:42 PM

That's about how long the average Trump lawyer represents him before they are charged with a crime and disbarred. Also, what's a little domestic violence, right guys? In other news, a new scientific report from some woke Ivy League school just came out that is surprisingly endorsed by both evangelical Christians, David Icke, and Joe Rogan and the conclusion is that you're all gaaaaaaaaayyyy.

anonymous 9/16/2022 12:11:42 PM

Trump forever.

anonymous 9/16/2022 12:15:45 PM

Ok but gender pronouns please….jeez so insensitive

anonymous 9/16/2022 12:38:43 PM

No consistency in this bull shit industry. Well, they're different companies on different continents soooooooo........

anonymous 9/16/2022 12:57:57 PM

Great reporting from Lambooot as always.

anonymous 9/16/2022 1:03:45 PM

So many closet cases on here wanting to get beat and gaped by a coke head. Its funny, but not as funny as them pretending the justice system works.

anonymous 9/16/2022 1:21:38 PM

None of the valueless, edgelord pissbags on here ever gave a f*ck about this chode until it became another tired excuse to bitch and moan about "cancel culture."

anonymous 9/16/2022 1:25:37 PM

"So many closet cases on here wanting to get beat and gaped by a coke head. Its funny, but not as funny as them pretending the justice system works." Yes you're right, every year many people are sent to jail on false sex crimes accusations, in fact it's so prevalent that it is the primary kind of case overturned by innocence projects.

anonymous 9/16/2022 1:45:37 PM

"Yes you're right, every year many people are sent to jail on false sex crimes accusations, in fact it's so prevalent that it is the primary kind of case overturned by innocence projects." Lol I bet if anyone brought up the massive racial disparity in regards to these cases, your pseudo compassion for the wrongly incarcerated would magically dwindle for SOME reason

anonymous 9/16/2022 1:53:02 PM

You're right, White Women love to lie

anonymous 9/16/2022 2:24:44 PM

"You're right, White Women love to lie" Lol it's a bit more nuanced than just basic misogyny

anonymous 9/16/2022 2:24:45 PM

"Wasn't the "video evidence" of the "assault" him hitting her with a pilllow or am I think of something else?" Ooooo I love a good pillow fight. Men only of course. Then bite the pillows after. 😉

anonymous 9/16/2022 3:30:44 PM

Getting steamier than a men's sauna in these comments. When does the f*cking start?

anonymous 9/16/2022 4:00:04 PM

" Yes you're right, every year many people are sent to jail on false sex crimes accusations, in fact it's so prevalent that it is the primary kind of case overturned by innocence projects." The only kinds of people quoting sexual assault case statistics and boohooing about cancel culture are the ones that are mad they can't be out here slipping shit in peoples drinks without getting handled. Go back to 8kun you incel twats

Black Fast are great

anonymous 9/16/2022 5:05:30 PM

What's your vektor Victor? Let's cancel this guy while we turn a blind eye to Ashley Biden's diary.

anonymous 9/16/2022 5:31:41 PM

God dammit, I just want another Vektor record

anonymous 9/16/2022 6:02:53 PM

She probably deserved it

anonymous 9/16/2022 6:04:06 PM

There was no video of him punching his gf. He threw a pillow at her and yelled. Everyone seems to ignore the fact that his old guitarist came back and made a statement saying what he witnessed was her being the abuser. She was literally why all the band quit. She demanded to come along on EVERY tour and was always causing drama. Eventually they had enough of that shit and said its her or us and peaced out.

anonymous 9/16/2022 6:18:28 PM

Absolutely pathetic. Century Media are a bunch of coward pussies.

anonymous 9/16/2022 6:24:56 PM

How much you wanna bet the backlash CM was getting was the same 5 Portland smelly gender benders who think metal is supposed to be a woke extension of anifa?

anonymous 9/16/2022 7:22:30 PM

liberalism is a mental disease

anonymous 9/16/2022 7:26:56 PM

^ your orange god is gonna rot in jail.

anonymous 9/16/2022 9:40:49 PM

I'd rather have an orange god than some f*cking freak of human flesh that thinks they can be a man and breastfeed. 43% of the time, they do the right thing for all of us.

HhHah HAHAHA

This f*cking dumpster fire of a comment section is what happens when you allow people to post anonymously: unironic 4/8chan swerfing with big brain pepe takes. Someone in this thread actually quoted a "progressive" band as claiming "woke-ness" in the mental gymnastics equivalent of joining the Special Olympics to protest Down Syndrome. Hey, Lambgoat, your website seems to attract the finest hard right/hard left trash. Sincerely, BasedAnonTakeLMAOBidenTrumpHilaryAMIRITE?
