Can we all take a moment and appreciate the professionalism of this band? They are literally being sucked into the abyss and the solo doesn't skip a beat.
@@WALDENSOFTWARE General of the Dark Army is what got me into the band, and is still one of my absolute favourite metal songs. I wouldn't say their older stuff was worse, but it was definitely "immature". The growth of their music has been fascinating to me. They are a fantastic band and finding out about this song today was a very pleasant surprise among all the bad news lately. This album is no doubt going to slay.
Almost 2 years later, this was the first UTA song I ever heard, I was on the brink of a complete mental breakdown and just randomly picked this song off RUclips suggestions because I just wanted to hear anything besides the thoughts in my head at that moment. I couldn't have asked for a better guide, they took me over the deep end, unearthed a series of repressed childhood traumas, rebuilt me as a character from my favorite book series as a kid and helped me feel like a normal human BECAUSE of everything that happened to me and everything wrong with me. I wept the entire time, reliving decades of my pain and how it had shaped me. One song, rather than the usual "things will be ok" UTA said "you are always OK, I'll help you prove it to yourself". It was the missing 2nd half of Wesley's "life is pain..." that completed a circle of understanding and awareness I'd sought for over 30 years. I don't know if UTA saved my life, but I know they saved me from a life of suffering needlessly. Something about their music is so perfectly them, a self harmony each of them manages to convey side by side together, to show us that we don't have to lose ourselves nor isolate ourselves to be happy or successful, to find peace and community. Thanks again UTA, almost 2 years later, still my favorite band, still loving life as I learn how every day. Your music broke my cycle of self doubt and self hatred where convention failed repeatedly and hope had been lost. I hope this flows to all the world, the power to change through acceptance. I am no longer a hateful monolith of my suffering, and every day is better than the last.
I love you for sharing this. I have a very similar story with Linkin Park that has eventually wound around to Unleash the Archers becoming my favorite band around the time Apex came out. I hope your mental health has taken an upswing but I'll always be here for a brother or sister of metal if they need to talk. Thank you for this comment.
We are so glad we could be there for you when you needed us William!!! Hope you're still killing it and looking in that mirror everyday to tell yourself how amazing you are
Lyrics Open my eyes in a daze How long has it been? Am I so out of place? Warmth I can no longer feel My mountain is gone, I'm surrounded by steel The strangest of structures arises ahead Seems to be held up by nothing Where have I gone, do I dream? How can the stars be all I can see? Dark embrace Has someone awakened me?

HA! Very Spinal Tap. I think my favorite video is Awakening... It was nice to concentrate on the musicianship. And the bassist's galloping fingerwork was cool =)
This band moves me to tears. No lie I get fucking goosebumps. “Summon the strength of millenniums past Forged by the fire and flame I am the weapon of empires vast Immortal is more than a name!” Cuts like a knife
I don't even need to ask this so I will just point out the sheer nerdy joy each and every one of us had by shamelessly getting HYPED as soon as the line "My mountain is gone" was sung. Folks, we have a sequel story to Apex and I've never been so damn happy to be such a damn nerd lmao.
I was thinking the same thing. Napalm has 1.56M subs. If each one of them saw this we'd have way more...and even better...we'd have way more people exposed to this awesome freaking song/video!
Always suspected this is the kind of thing that happens in Canada. Power metal, interstellar vortexes, giant space demons. Kudos for disinfecting the set afterwards.
@@ОляЛеля-н6ъ She really does the Dio/classic sound well but comparing anyone to Floor isn't even fair. Floor is clearly an alien, her only match is probably Devin Townsend.
Same here. Grew up listening to Iced Earth, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Iron Maiden etc. UtA just takes everything to the next level somehow and they are just cool, genuine people.
I am completely behind this. But listening Maiden and UTA in the same night would be just too overkill. Imagine how a simple men could live his daily life after hearing those amazing bands the night before.
A bright streak flashes from your pointing finger to a point you choose within range and then blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame. Roll 8 D6 damage.
Honestly, i'd be curious to see what the immortal being from their songs' tales would look like as a PC. Maybe a max level Eldritch knight, or a multi-class of Battlemaster/wizard(transfiguration or evocation, given varying lyrics/info)? The being is clearly capable of advanced combat, given the context of songs like 'Ten Thousand Against One,' and one can assume that he's also a spell caster, given lines from several songs, namely "oceans arise at my command," from 'The Wind That Shapes the Land." Thoughts?
This is fantastic! Every element of this band is spot on. Incredible vocals over awesome playing on every instrument. Cannot wait to get this. . . (says the 51 year old dude who just can't give up metal. . .)
Is it okay to cry? This band just brings me tears of joy every single time. It's the first time in years where I found a new band that I've become very passionate about ♡♡♡ Please keep on going
Let the tears flow! I definitely get chills and waves of emotion too with certain songs. "I Speak Astronomy" by Jinjer and "Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish make me cry too. Really powerful songs that crack open my heart.
I’m new to this band but this is some of the most epic stuff that I have ever heard in my entire life. The outro is absolutely incredible. I need to go listen to their entire discography after hearing this masterpiece. Words cannot describe how awesome this is.
I love how the first guitarist is just holding on for his dear life, and the other one is like, ''nope, i have a riff to finish'' and when he does, closes his eyes and accepts his fate
I am from Spain, and hearing this song over and over again, I keep wondering how, through the language barrier, this lyrics has stuck into me so hard. Amazing song.
could someone give me some guidance on how to start the Unleash the Archers saga? Is there some extra concept material (such as like Rhapsody or Fairyland had)?
@@kzeriar25 As far as I know there isn't. However, the band has done extensive plot explanations on the Apex album (look for "Apex track by track Unleash the Archers").
I love that they are constantly growing and improving. Brittany's wails in the beginning made me tear up a little. It's all beautiful, really tight on the guitars with the harmonies, just perfect, music structure is amazing. They never fail to amaze me.
I closed my eyes after reading your comment and imagined it. You could not have been more accurate. The eagle was a robot in my imagining and he was shooting lasers from his eyes and mouth like some feathered Mothra/Godzilla-hybrid in the stars.
@@miztahrayeproductions2942 I 100% agree with you. For me it’s a Galactus sized giant or monster. This is perfect for this kinda stuff. If you want a cool boss song, check out Andrew WK’s babalon.
My take on the drummers thoughts: 3:15 What is that? 3:22 Ah, it's nothing, keep on playing. 3:26 ok, actually, maybe it is something to worry about 3:35 is starting to be a hinderance now 3:40 severe hinderance now! 3:43 must... finish... set! 3:50 nooooooooo!
I hope the Immortal is finally set free in this album and righteous justice is done to The Matriarch. The Immortal's story in Apex is very much a greek tragedy and a very bittersweet ending, the last track had me teary eyed because of how lonely and abused the character is.
That would certainly be the "happy" ending, but I don't know that it's best. Perhaps a passing of the torch to the 4th (good) son or the grandchild and The Immortal can fade into the afterlife. However it happens, I hope they keep the story for a 3rd album before doing so. It's so good and has a lot of potential story arcs. I'd hate for it end this soon after only 2 albums.
It is so hard to find words to convey my appreciation of you all! Listening to your music wakes up body and soul profoundly. Being an old pre-1970's Streisand fan, i am so grateful to have Brittany's voice pierce as deeply as young Barbra's did. Compositions, vision and skilled musicians are beyond compare. You all are a blessing!!
I didn't know how I would like the synth when Brittney announced the use of it, but damn it mixes perfectly with this song and I wouldn't have it any other way. It will give this album its own unique character.
I feel Time Stands Still energy something fierce. So I went back and watched that video. Then came back to this. And honestly, this feels stronger already. And also just so this is out there, I firmly believe that UTA is the most powerful band that Napalm has. No one matches Brittney. Or Scott. Or Andrew. Or Grant.
O!M!G! This is definitelly one of the best songs from UTA. Absolutelly brilliant! Brittney's vocal is just astonishing. And this one kick-drum... Just wow. :O Amazing! Scott, stop this machine of power-kicking!
Apex has been a regular part of my music rotation since it dropped. Never more than a week or two without listening to it in its entirety. So stoked on this new stuff. Sounds even better. UTA legitimately one of the best active metal bands. Take my money.
I've been doing the same thing, though in Pathfinder. Modifying a few things here and there, but honestly, the lore of Apex is just amazing in it's own right.
So I actually just started a campaign based on the lore of Apex. What I have written down is loose as hell, but I think it will work. The matriarch is a soreceress who took over the land that ended her family. She has been missing from some time (as far as the players know) and the sons (3 of them anyway) have divided the kingdom and rule in her stead. The immortal is present. I’d say more, but I know they may find this video.
@@tywatson299 I was originally thinking about doing a Pathfinder/Starfinder one for Demons of the AstroWaste...but their sound has come so far since then that I kinda want to wait and see where Abyss goes, to maybe do Apex-Abyss.
ya know - it's such a dark part of this band ... why ? did they lave ? were they kicked out ? why so much trouble with the bass ? I think of Markus Grosskopf and can't understand why a band like this has this plague
@@MadiUk77 I think I read somewhere that the last bass player left because basically he wasn't able to make ends meet in terms of paying bills (Vancouver is a really really really expensive place to live). And so I assume the band just wasn't able to pay the bills and he went to find another job. It's sad but it happens. At least he didn't leave on bad terms. EDIT: quick Google search found these two quotes: Brayden Dyczkowski, who wrote most of the music on the band's first two full-lengths, left the band shortly before the signing to Napalm because “it's not exactly a profitable hobby,” Hayes says, smiling wryly.Nov. 25, 2015 We're sad to announce that our bass player, Nikko Whitworth - Bassist, has decided to part ways with UTA. We've had some great tours, and made a killer record together, but it's time for him to focus on his other creative projects.Jan. 23, 2018
"Hey guys, there is a rift forming behind us from the awesome.... maybe we should call this practice off?" "Nah, last time there were like six Brittany's, this is nothing."
"So while playing music you're sucked through an interdimensional void and confronted by a supernatural cosmic entity. What do you do?" Unleash the Archers: "Keep playing"
You know this Band takes its music seriously when then see their band mates being swallowed by an unstable portal to an unknown dimension, but they keep shredding! As one should, of course! Even when playing for a public of only one (hyper-dimensional mysterious being) they keep rocking with attitude!
I think my favorite part about this band is that they don't overly sexualize Brittney in order to get views. They just let their amazing music speak for itself!
Ah, she's worn some pretty provocative outfits at live gigs. Far more provocative than anything she has worn in a music video. Just search through some of the live performance videos here on youtube.
i agree. That was one of the things i noticed about them. Its not just her as the band but all of them. In this moment is an example of the lead singer taking over the band.
Unleash The Archers... You saved my life years ago. And i have loved you ever since. To this day, nothing has changed. You mean so much to me. And I get so happy every time I hear your music.
Won't give the life story but became Epileptic at 22 and it's music like this that has always helped keep me leveled. So all I really have to say is thank you very much to Unleash The Archers for being one of the bands that can actually put work and effort into music that shows it's worth it. Keep killin it you guys!
I'll give you: Brittney "The Blade" Slayes. She will cut you into pieces and you will born again with a metal soul. 1:13 Epic start, man those vocals are just amazing.
This song introduced me to this band. "Whoa. Who is THAT?!" was my reaction when it came on from a random listening suggestion. Really glad I found out about "Unleash the Archers"!!!
First listened to this band by coincidence. It just happened to be in one of those curated Spotify playlists, and it was this song. And boy, I love it since. Everytime I hear this song, it gives me goosebumps
Recently listened through all of Apex and Abyss and I am amazed at this band's talent and creativity. Definitely need see them live when this whole pandemic is over!
Unleash the Archers are like the worlds best courier company. They just don't stop delivering
I couldn’t have worded it better
Mai dude
Too bad the game was rigged from the start.
Move over Amazon, UTA bout to show you how it's done!!
@@xxIKONICKxx underrated reference.
STOP EVERYTHING: UTA dropped a new song.
Every time I see people abbreviate them to UTA my dyslexic ass reads it as UTI and I just.... That's not a fun time.
Literally me every time lol
Was about to leave for work, then this showed up. Work can wait 😆
Worldwide emergency. Stop everything. UTA has something to say.
Can confirm this is the procedure! XD
Can we all take a moment and appreciate the professionalism of this band? They are literally being sucked into the abyss and the solo doesn't skip a beat.
Absolutely! Never let a spontaneous portal that is sucking your band mates interfere with your art!

Yes, I mean Scott, did you think otherwise?
Scott is easy the best looking person in this band. No homo. Well.... maybe just a little bit
Scott's the BOMB! One of the best drummers I've ever seen!
I thought you were talking about the band as a whole in separate statements. Lol
These guys have not missed a meal since the last video i saw from them. Maybe except the one guitarist
he's a super cool dude too.
This band is like fine wine, the older they get, the better they are.
I didn't think much of their earlier stuff. This is the best I've heard of them. This is fucking good stuff.
It only took eight years of sorting out their line up from 2009 to 2017 and figuring out what kind of metal they wanted to perform until we got Apex.
@@WALDENSOFTWARE General of the Dark Army is what got me into the band, and is still one of my absolute favourite metal songs.

@@playlistb3795 it is exactly that.
Best comment.
Damn right!! 🤘
I will follow Brittney to the Gates of Hell, and fight with nothing but my bare hands, if she asked me to.
Look at them, they started out playing for Big Foot in the woods. Now they're performing to giant celestial men.
I know, its so amazing how far they have come. It's too bad the pandemic limited what they could do with this video.
I am not sure which of these 2 videos is cheesier. But i love it
That's actually The Matriarch
It sounds like Britney is doing something different with her vocals this time around that I can't quite put my finger on, but I'm loving it!

Lyrics
Open my eyes in a daze
How long has it been? Am I so out of place?
Warmth I can no longer feel
My mountain is gone, I'm surrounded by steel
The strangest of structures arises ahead
Seems to be held up by nothing
Where have I gone, do I dream?
How can the stars be all I can see?
Dark embrace
Has someone awakened me? Please show your face
Cold and quiet space
Out so far beyond stars and the sun
Filling my heart up with wonder, unknown
Now, to the edge of imagination
Open my eyes to phenomenon, and hope
Feverishly I explore
Searching for someone, there has to be more
I can't be the only one here
My path always guides me, there's nothing to fear
Then why do I feel so immensely alone
This can't be the end of my story
Onward I go once again
Fighting my way to my final breath
Into the abyss
Out so far beyond stars and the sun
Filling my heart up with wonder, unknown
Now, to the edge of imagination
Open my eyes to phenomenon, and hope
Summon the strength of millenniums past
Forged by the fire and flame
I am the weapon of empires vast
Immortal is more than a name
Out so far beyond stars and the sun
Filling my heart up with wonder, unknown
Now, to the edge of imagination
Open my eyes to phenomenon, and hope
Cry into the chasm ahead
Into the sky never ending, although
Time will tell if I'm worthy of it
A future of final transcending, alone
Thx!
Many thanks, friend

Lol that would have been funny
oh man that would've been hilarious
plot twist: the guy mopping is the new bassist

I was thinking they were going to find a bass player on the other side of the portal. I guess not though.

I am completely behind this. But listening Maiden and UTA in the same night would be just too overkill. Imagine how a simple men could live his daily life after hearing those amazing bands the night before.
I demand that Maiden opens for UTA.
Vaughn Blaylock she looks and sounds like she could have been a Dickenson. I had too google it too make sure.
No one looks like he or she enjoys singing as much as she does...except...wait for it...the Bruce.
agreed
Its very very rare that I hear a 7 minute song that keeps me engaged the whole way through. I love it, well done
Sounds like you haven't heard Awakening by UTA yet then. That's how we all felt 4 years ago.
Such professionalism! Being sucked into a wormhole and despite that still prioritizing to play their guitar solo's correctly.
I came here without prejudices just to know this new band (is new for me). I like it, you have 1 new fan. Please continue.
Tonight we ride bro
You have awakened
This blow your mind \m/ ruclips.net/video/gqUPGa15Oto/видео.html&start_radio=1
This girl has an 80's style to her singing. It's very refreshing.
This band sounds like Pretty Maids. Pretty Maids; Future World.
indeed, i just keep waiting for her to unload the power in that voice, but she keeps it in check.
She has opera training!
@@ericcoppeler7655 glad I'm not the only one who thinks she was holding back the while time
@@riskybitness I know, right. She's got that 80's power metal vibe. Metal Church and Helloween
I love how when Britney is just about to belt out her first otherworldly wail of most any song she assumes the "I cast FIREBALL!" stance. 🤘
Lol!
She also has the "I present you with the orb of metal" pose
A bright streak flashes from your pointing finger to a point you choose within range and then blossoms with a low roar into an explosion of flame.
Roll 8 D6 damage.
Hell yeah
Honestly, i'd be curious to see what the immortal being from their songs' tales would look like as a PC. Maybe a max level Eldritch knight, or a multi-class of Battlemaster/wizard(transfiguration or evocation, given varying lyrics/info)? The being is clearly capable of advanced combat, given the context of songs like 'Ten Thousand Against One,' and one can assume that he's also a spell caster, given lines from several songs, namely "oceans arise at my command," from 'The Wind That Shapes the Land." Thoughts?
This is fantastic! Every element of this band is spot on. Incredible vocals over awesome playing on every instrument. Cannot wait to get this. . .
(says the 51 year old dude who just can't give up metal. . .)
My CD arrived today, and this 48 yo that can't give up metal either was as excited as when waiting for Seventh Son as a 16 yo.
as another 51 year old metal head I say, 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
As this 51 yo, whom will Never Give Up On Metal!!!
Sophomore in college here, and I assure you that there's no reason to give up on it now or in the foreseeable future
@@carlosrega9425 One of my first CDs (vs tape). Imagine a Bruce and Brittney duet. . .
This is literally everything I ever wanted from a follow-up to Apex, August 21 can't come soon enough, holy shit
Whoooooaaaa... Brittany's two intro notes completely washed me in goose bumps. This is divine.
she seems pretty good at givin people goosebumps when she sings
Yeah, that's her thing
Tears for me haha
Brittney is incredible...Her vocals blow me away....The band is super tight....LOVE IT
Is it okay to cry? This band just brings me tears of joy every single time. It's the first time in years where I found a new band that I've become very passionate about ♡♡♡ Please keep on going
Let the tears flow! I definitely get chills and waves of emotion too with certain songs. "I Speak Astronomy" by Jinjer and "Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish make me cry too. Really powerful songs that crack open my heart.
@@K-A5 omg. I absolutely love Jinjer and Nightwish as well. We're in the same boat
As long as it's tears of happiness for the beauty of the song...
UTA take on Zargothrax today on Power Metal: Space Edition.
Zargothrax never stood a chance
They already had some experience thanks to Demons of the Astrowaste.
But it may be hard to fight against the HEAVY METAL DARKLORD THRASHER
Wow
IS this a crossover episode ? 😂
A crossover/musical battle would be so awesome
I’m new to this band but this is some of the most epic stuff that I have ever heard in my entire life. The outro is absolutely incredible. I need to go listen to their entire discography after hearing this masterpiece. Words cannot describe how awesome this is.
Also check out these bands: Kalidia, Frozen Crown, Seventh Wonder, Stratovarius...You might like some of them too.
@Vou Refletir Definitely!
My god her voice is incredible. Seriously one of the best choruses I've ever heard. It just hits
The chorus is great, but that bridge makes me feel like I could fight a neutron star!
I need some more range in her voice to judge that. Her voice is fine, it's not incredible..
@@SentinentCoffee have you heard their song tonight we ride?
@@MrDestro0000 ikr
I LOVE how calmly the drummer drums. He looks so relaxed
I love how the first guitarist is just holding on for his dear life, and the other one is like, ''nope, i have a riff to finish'' and when he does, closes his eyes and accepts his fate
Doesn't matter how many times I hear this song, it still gives me a huge grin.
You know the music is good, when you feel close to these people, through their music. the talent is incredible.
Easily one of the best and most talented vocalists in metal.
I've entered the Abyss and found UTA down here, I think I will stay.
I read UTA as a urinary tract infection lol
I’m going
UTA: Dormamu I have come to bargain.
Dormamu: It's ok, you win.
That was my first thought.
I am from Spain, and hearing this song over and over again, I keep wondering how, through the language barrier, this lyrics has stuck into me so hard. Amazing song.
Plot twist: the "celestial" is zargothrax and the immortal was on his way to help the hootsforce
This comment is underrated.
Glad I'm not the only person thinking that'd be an amazing album.
jajaja, i thought the same thing. An UTA and Gloryhammer united universe would be dope AF
could someone give me some guidance on how to start the Unleash the Archers saga? Is there some extra concept material (such as like Rhapsody or Fairyland had)?
@@kzeriar25 As far as I know there isn't. However, the band has done extensive plot explanations on the Apex album (look for "Apex track by track Unleash the Archers").
Literally stopped everything I was doing to watch this
Same, I saw the notification, turned up my speakers and blasted it.
Same. I told the people I'm on Discord with ti hang on a minute, haha.
Same here!
same here
same!
I love how everyone except Brittney looks like they walked straight out of an 80's thrash video
She just came from running man.
Her costume like b grade sci-fi movie in 80-90, it look cool tho.
user who hurt you?
@userjfc dude who shat in your coffee this morning?
@user Generic my arse. Instantly recognisable as UTA right from the off. Gets better with each listen much like the band themselves.
I absolutely love how she always sings with her whole body, how she postures like she's about to hold back an incoming onslaught is awesome.
I love that they are constantly growing and improving. Brittany's wails in the beginning made me tear up a little. It's all beautiful, really tight on the guitars with the harmonies, just perfect, music structure is amazing. They never fail to amaze me.
This band has always had a great sense of melodic hooks.
From Tonight We Ride to this, how much more perfect can she get?
this song makes me feel like im riding upon a giant space eagle fighting a glorious battle for the fate of the universe.
I closed my eyes after reading your comment and imagined it. You could not have been more accurate. The eagle was a robot in my imagining and he was shooting lasers from his eyes and mouth like some feathered Mothra/Godzilla-hybrid in the stars.
@@miztahrayeproductions2942 I 100% agree with you. For me it’s a Galactus sized giant or monster. This is perfect for this kinda stuff. If you want a cool boss song, check out Andrew WK’s babalon.
Sounds like judas priests Hellion eagle!
This comment is Gloryhammer’s “Victorious Eagle Warfare” vibes.
@@RebelliousKuno Came lietrally for this
I've watched the video so many times, and I don't know if it's just me, but it's like Brittney is wildly happy and can't hide it.
you're not the only one haha
My take on the drummers thoughts:
3:15 What is that?
3:22 Ah, it's nothing, keep on playing.
3:26 ok, actually, maybe it is something to worry about
3:35 is starting to be a hinderance now
3:40 severe hinderance now!
3:43 must... finish... set!
3:50 nooooooooo!
"I am the weapon of Empires past, Immortal is more than a name!"
That passage gives me goosebumps.
I’ve used this in an epic DND boss fight and my players still say it’s one of their favorite sessions. Thank you for this amazing work ♥️
Listening to this album was the best part of 2020 for me.
You said it brother!
I hope the Immortal is finally set free in this album and righteous justice is done to The Matriarch. The Immortal's story in Apex is very much a greek tragedy and a very bittersweet ending, the last track had me teary eyed because of how lonely and abused the character is.
Don't be mad, but I'm all but sure we won't have that before the third one in the saga...
That would certainly be the "happy" ending, but I don't know that it's best. Perhaps a passing of the torch to the 4th (good) son or the grandchild and The Immortal can fade into the afterlife. However it happens, I hope they keep the story for a 3rd album before doing so. It's so good and has a lot of potential story arcs. I'd hate for it end this soon after only 2 albums.
Going to be 7 mins late to my 10am meeting 😂
play this AT the meeting
@@blazejecar 0:59 this part "Aaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Worth it
I haven’t heard you scream like in a while, oh goddess 😭
Also brought back the hey hey hey chanting as well.
It is so hard to find words to convey my appreciation of you all! Listening to your music wakes up body and soul profoundly. Being an old pre-1970's Streisand fan, i am so grateful to have Brittany's voice pierce as deeply as young Barbra's did. Compositions, vision and skilled musicians are beyond compare. You all are a blessing!!
Been stuck in my head entire day, such craftmenship by everyone, amazing like always UtA 4-ever
Been stuck in my head for days lol
@@Teddy-pf8yy I know yea, so addicting
Finally, a Powermetal Band that puts the power (and skill!) back in the music and kicks the omnipresent mediocrity in the butt. Love your stuff!
So shines good metal in a weary world.
Yoda? that you??
this album keeps giving me chills of joy, and more than a few tears.
it's insanely beautiful and strong
I didn't know how I would like the synth when Brittney announced the use of it, but damn it mixes perfectly with this song and I wouldn't have it any other way. It will give this album its own unique character.
I feel Time Stands Still energy something fierce. So I went back and watched that video. Then came back to this. And honestly, this feels stronger already. And also just so this is out there, I firmly believe that UTA is the most powerful band that Napalm has. No one matches Brittney. Or Scott. Or Andrew. Or Grant.
your damn right
Can't disagree with that sentiment.
Stronger band than metallica if you ask me
Let's hope they get the tour support they deserve.
Best power metal, yes. Napalm also has Jinjer.
O!M!G! This is definitelly one of the best songs from UTA. Absolutelly brilliant! Brittney's vocal is just astonishing. And this one kick-drum... Just wow. :O Amazing! Scott, stop this machine of power-kicking!
Just got done binging Apex. Here goes another 3 years of my life.
Sees new video. Clicks immediately and turns volume to 11. Love these
Apex has been a regular part of my music rotation since it dropped. Never more than a week or two without listening to it in its entirety. So stoked on this new stuff. Sounds even better. UTA legitimately one of the best active metal bands. Take my money.
I've been trying to puts DnD campaign together using the lyrics of UtA songs. I feel like it would be pretty fun
Yo that sounds awesome, good luck
I've been doing the same thing, though in Pathfinder. Modifying a few things here and there, but honestly, the lore of Apex is just amazing in it's own right.
Haha, been doing the same, but with Gloryhammer lyrics. May do the next campaign from unleash the archer lyrics.
So I actually just started a campaign based on the lore of Apex. What I have written down is loose as hell, but I think it will work. The matriarch is a soreceress who took over the land that ended her family. She has been missing from some time (as far as the players know) and the sons (3 of them anyway) have divided the kingdom and rule in her stead. The immortal is present. I’d say more, but I know they may find this video.
@@tywatson299 I was originally thinking about doing a Pathfinder/Starfinder one for Demons of the AstroWaste...but their sound has come so far since then that I kinda want to wait and see where Abyss goes, to maybe do Apex-Abyss.
One of my favorite metal songs of all time ,been listening to it for months now and still can’t get enough of it
I can play bass, and I promise I will never quit.
greatest comment i've ever seen
ya know - it's such a dark part of this band ... why ? did they lave ? were they kicked out ? why so much trouble with the bass ? I think of Markus Grosskopf and can't understand why a band like this has this plague
Animo
@@MadiUk77 I think I read somewhere that the last bass player left because basically he wasn't able to make ends meet in terms of paying bills (Vancouver is a really really really expensive place to live). And so I assume the band just wasn't able to pay the bills and he went to find another job. It's sad but it happens. At least he didn't leave on bad terms.
EDIT: quick Google search found these two quotes:
Brayden Dyczkowski, who wrote most of the music on the band's first two full-lengths, left the band shortly before the signing to Napalm because “it's not exactly a profitable hobby,” Hayes says, smiling wryly.Nov. 25, 2015
We're sad to announce that our bass player, Nikko Whitworth - Bassist, has decided to part ways with UTA. We've had some great tours, and made a killer record together, but it's time for him to focus on his other creative projects.Jan. 23, 2018
"Hey guys, there is a rift forming behind us from the awesome.... maybe we should call this practice off?" "Nah, last time there were like six Brittany's, this is nothing."
*Brittney
You say six Brittneys like its a bad thing ;)
"So while playing music you're sucked through an interdimensional void and confronted by a supernatural cosmic entity. What do you do?"
Unleash the Archers: "Keep playing"
First, most important rule of playing in a band... even if you mess up or something happens, you *never* stop the song no matter what.
It worked on Bigfoot
Titanic all over again cx
The show must go on...
Roll for injtitave.
You know this Band takes its music seriously when then see their band mates being swallowed by an unstable portal to an unknown dimension, but they keep shredding! As one should, of course!
Even when playing for a public of only one (hyper-dimensional mysterious being) they keep rocking with attitude!
I love listening to Brittney Hayes's vocal talent.
Absolute madlad not using her stage name
I think my favorite part about this band is that they don't overly sexualize Brittney in order to get views. They just let their amazing music speak for itself!
so true
Ah, she's worn some pretty provocative outfits at live gigs. Far more provocative than anything she has worn in a music video. Just search through some of the live performance videos here on youtube.
i agree. That was one of the things i noticed about them. Its not just her as the band but all of them. In this moment is an example of the lead singer taking over the band.
They have her voice, they don't fucking need that.
@@raifsevrence true but they still dont over sexualise her in genural
Unleash The Archers... You saved my life years ago. And i have loved you ever since. To this day, nothing has changed. You mean so much to me. And I get so happy every time I hear your music.
Won't give the life story but became Epileptic at 22 and it's music like this that has always helped keep me leveled. So all I really have to say is thank you very much to Unleash The Archers for being one of the bands that can actually put work and effort into music that shows it's worth it. Keep killin it you guys!
Apex was a wonderful album
Abyss is gonna follow the royal way like his brother
We'll have an absolutely amazing saga to Listen to !
I've just known this band and start listening to the discography... so far, this is my favorite song. Got addicted.
This is steadily becoming one of my favourite songs, this band just has so much skill
I have just discovered Unleash the Archers , I am in Heaven ❤
This is as good as it gets when it comes to this style of metal, I can see this band headlining any place on the planet.
I'll give you: Brittney "The Blade" Slayes. She will cut you into pieces and you will born again with a metal soul. 1:13 Epic start, man those vocals are just amazing.
They've done it again...they blew my mind yet again
This song introduced me to this band. "Whoa. Who is THAT?!" was my reaction when it came on from a random listening suggestion. Really glad I found out about "Unleash the Archers"!!!
The fact that UtA doesn't get more credit is a crime against the musical world!
5:04
Drummer: "Just came back from taking a shit, what's going on guys?"
I like that X-Men suit lol
Exactly what I was thinking....lol
That comment deserves a Nobel prize yo lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂!
I suddenly feel the urge to go bobsledding...
@@TheMack died laughing lol 😂!
First listened to this band by coincidence. It just happened to be in one of those curated Spotify playlists, and it was this song. And boy, I love it since. Everytime I hear this song, it gives me goosebumps
Recently listened through all of Apex and Abyss and I am amazed at this band's talent and creativity. Definitely need see them live when this whole pandemic is over!
