Hailing from Porto, VECTIS occupy the fringes of black/thrash metal, with one foot firmly in the speed metal revival that has gained renewed momentum over the past decade. The band’s sound emphasizes speed, direct aggression, and structural simplicity, favoring sharp riffs, fast tempos, and a raw approach without major ornamentation or conceptual deviations. Their discography includes the demo “The Executioner” (2019), the EP “No Mercy for the Weak” (2020), and a split with Grimsever (2024), establishing a consistent presence on the national scene. Vectis have steadily gained live experience, focusing on energy and immediate impact, anchored in a contemporary take on the well-established languages of ’80s extreme metal, making them a valuable addition to SWR.
