Originally hailing from Tempe, AZ, Vektor describe themselves as “prog-thrash from space.” And it’s evident after one listen that the band’s music is thematically influenced by science fiction. So who better to determine the most metal sci-fi films than a member of Vektor? With that in mind, bassist Frank Chin [center right in the picture above] was kind enough to share with us which five sci-fi flicks are truly the most metal. Check out his picks by clicking the page numbers below, and take a look at the dates below to see if Vektor will be playing a town near you this month (more to be announced shortly).
