Napalm doesn't block brother. Neither does Metalblade, Nuclear Blast and most others. Sumerian, Century Media and Roadrunner do. FYI
I can confirm, having attended three Unleash the Archers concerts so far in my life, that Brittany can actually hit all the high notes live.
It's funny you mentioned opera. There is a video of Britney Slays singing a metal version of the opera song Brindisi with the lead singer of Lords of the Trident (the video is on the Lords of the Trident page). It seems like both of them were trained in opera. That video is worth checking out🤘😊🤘
Oooh yeah :D You could even make a reaction video to it :3
Quality is poor but big fan of her karaoke too
She has such an incredible voice. SO MUCH power.
Brittany "Slayes" Hayes is insane. There was 2 males vocalists on this if my memory is correct. And this was on one of the recent mad max movies soundtracks.
I love that people still make music like this. Every time I've heard this awesomeness it's brought tears to my eyes. It was extra epic live. Loved that show.
IMMORTAL IS MORE THAN A NAME!
TONIGHT WE RIDE
Hold on to this moment for all time, this is the night we ride
I hear them calling our name
Raising the flag and fuelling the flame
I'll find my destination; don't tell me where to go
I won't give in this time, feel the power
Not this time, scream it louder
Voyage o'er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
No regrets, just live for the fight
Renounce your precious lives and ride
Take hold of your steel chariot; though ours is gone, lives on
Rise to the challenge or fall
Nothing will hinder our rise to the call
We'll find our destination, can't tell us where to go
We won't give in this time, feed the hunger
Not this time, growing stronger
Voyage o'er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
We'll find our destination; let's go!
Voyage o'er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
Fly, redeem tonight
Destroy, renounce your precious lives and ride
Ride
Abyss is such a good album, love that whole storyline
YES more UTA. so many amazing songs for you to discover. my next reccomendations would be abyss, faster than light, northwest passage, time stands still! you will be continually impressed with this band and especially Brittney's vocals and the drumming
I love Everything on the Apex and Abyss album to be honest, such masterpieces of metal
With the rating you gave this, I wonder what you’d give Abyss or Faster than Light.
By the way, they stream their concerts on Twitch- I went to see them a few months ago and they are amazing.
One of my favorite parts of the guitar solos in this one, particularly the second solo (or second half) is that it mirrored the chorus melody and built on it. It's an INSTANT way to make a good guitar solo that fits SO well in the context of a song.
The singer's real name is Britney Hayes, but since she slays, she goes by Britney Slays 🤘😁🤘
Brittney is classically trained and her first band was a brief affair as they wanted to be a Nightwish clone, for which she had no interest. Brittney wanted to sing in a more aggressive fashion and to leave the classical stuff behind. She sang alto with a Juno award winning choir, despite actually being a mezzo. For a laugh she sang "Brindisi" with one of the Lord of the Trident guys and did a pretty decent job of it. There's a YT video of it. There's also a phone video on YT of her singing "Queen of the Reich" at a karaoke bar after a concert.
Unleash the Archers won a Juno award last year so she has won the award in both metal and classical categories. The Junos are Canada's equivalent of the Grammies.
Fun fact: she played rugby throughout high school and university. Her university studies were in creative writing, history and music, which shows in their latest two concept albums, "Apex" and "Abyss". The song you reviewed "Awakening" is the opening track in the story where the evil Matriarch summons the Immortal from his mountain so that he can round up her sons. She intends to kill them in a blood ritual so that she can become immortal as well. Not exactly mom of the year material.
Brittney is the band manager, composes the storylines, writes the lyrics and vocal melody lines. She and the drummer, Scott Buchanan, are the only original members left, plus they're also a couple. The band is actually composed of those two plus the guitarists Grant and Andrew. They go with a "rent-a-bassist" approach rather than have a permanent one. Career opportunity perhaps?
In December they officially hired their touring bassist as an official member.
@@HALberdier17 Good to know.
@@HALberdier17 which one? The guy who did work for Abyss? ‘Cause he was on point if so
@@majestichotwings6974 Nick Miller he was the musician that they were on tour with. The bass on Abyss was by Benjamin Arscott.
So funny. Those 16th note runs in the chorus are my favorite part.
Damn I wish you did the album version to this song(not your fault), as this is the "video cut", so the arrangement in this video is bit different and has a section cut out. There is a nice bass interlude, nothing crazy, but a nice repeating bass riff with some melodic chanting vocals overtop. Maybe go back and listen to it on your own time(if you have have any, judging by the amount of content you push out haha). If you do, let me know what you think.
I’ve been waiting for you to do another UTA! They’re so damn good
It is local folklore that ages ago Rob Halford and Ronnie James Dio had an illegitimate love child. That child honed her craft tirelessly like no other. Today we know her as Brittney Slayes.
I always say that Brittney Slayes is what would happen if Bruce Dickinson and Ronnie James Dio had a child. She even uses her hands like Dio did.
It looks like you have found a new rabbit hole to explore 🤘🎸🎸
Saw these guys live about a month ago in Boston. Amazing show. Brittany is a charismatic and engaging frontwoman. She even engaged in some light saber duals with the crowd! Tonight We Ride is not my favorite UTA song but pretty impressive non the less. My favorites are Cleanse the Bloodline, Abyss, Time Stands Still. Pretty much anything from Apex and Abyss.
Enjoyed the reaction! Haven't commented in a while, but felt compelled. Yes, Brittany's vocal style is more alined to theatrical belting than operatic. As a guitar player myself, I couldn't agree more concerning guitar solos. Loved the Vinnie vs Ace comparison. But what came to my mind is Kanami of Band Maid. Can she shred on the same level as Midori and Miyako of Lovebites? I totally believe she can. But she rarely does. She composes the music for Band Maid (Miku writes the lyrics), so she writes her solos expressly to compliment the song. Not saying Midori and Miyako don't do the same. It's obvious they put a lot of work into their solos. But it comes down to Heavy Metal vs Hard Rock. Looking forward to the next one!
Your ears.... Tonight We Ride your ears.
The Pinch:
to the general audience it adds that feeling like a javelin has been launched... in Brittney's case, add an atlatl to that.
to the vocally educated (formally or not), she choses when to carry the vocal distortion up, and when to not... and the fact that she can do that, and then instantly switch to high cleans shows that it is intentional an not pathological.
the solo: as far as the Archers go, this solo is like NW's Emppu playing one of his single-finger "melodic" solos... you caught that too.... some people think "Is that all you got?" but this one is like a melodic pointilist painting WITHIN THE BORDERS.... none of the Bob Ross Happy Accidents BS ... but you already know all this.
The fact that Grant can play guitar the way he does AND do the upper-register growls is just an wanton concentration of meta l talent.
The fact that Andrew (the other guitar player) has learned the lower growls that the bass player used to add AND now sings some clean leads (I think it's on Abyss, the Album)
And live, Grant and Andrew will add in backing vocals... tho NEVER trying to fill in the Brittney Choir that you hear on the recordings... that'd be insane.
Real last name is "Hayes"... not too much of a stretch to go to Slayes.
Hey great reaction by you. Ya picked off the low hanging fruit ;)
The internet-rumor is that they went down to Nevada after Burning Man and hired some of the vehicle-drivers for this video... it's the only place I could think of where you'd find more than one of those rickety sand-jalopies in running condition, so good on them for taking advantage of a collection of guardrails and windchimes in the form of transport. Lookeed appropriate.
btw, another internet rumor is that the song is about Poncho Villa, and his philosophy/justification for his actions while out on his raids.
I think Britt degree is in History, so she digs up interesting topics for songs.
The original recording on the album also has a bass solo if you wanna look it up
Spot on commentary and critique. Heretic you are the Jedi of reaction & reviewers! Operatic? Not even close. Let's all say it together class - Power Metal! Great to watch you dig on that 16th note riff!
Unleash the Archers love reaction videos. Brittney Slayes has even went on to do videos with reactors.
In this video they have two male harsh vocalists, Grant Truesdell and Brayden Dyczkowski.
Brayden was replaced with Andrew Kingsley before this album released but Andrew does clean vocals on some songs.
there's a you tube video of her reacting to another reactor, who then reacts to her reacting to him.

If you appreciate the contrast between Brittney's vocals and the harsh vocals, you should hear their song 'General of the Dark Army' from earlier in their career when they were independent. They had more harsh vocals in their music back then and the song just kicks ass.
It's not surprising David you like Awakening more. That is to UTA what Ghost Love Score is to Nightwish with Floor. Tonight we Ride is from an album UTA was defining themselves. They got different songwriters and went from their early death metal to heavy metal/ power metal, so still experimental. Awakening fits the name of the album, their apex (till this day).
The pinch is for extra 80s feel in my eyes, this band is kind of like to 80s metal what synthwave is to 80s electronic music.
WOW just amazing vocals! But yet the music is nothing to sneer at either now is it. This is a great song especially to listen to, so I intend to listen to this over and over.
Yeah, if you thought they were showing off in 'Awakening'... 😆😍😎
I had the chance to see this band live this past December in Joliet Illinois. Brittney Slayes is one hell of a vocalist and a stage general. It was a very good show. Her vocals are just as good live as they are studio.
I've been waiting to hear you review more uta please do more "General of the dark army" comes to mind.
Hi David.
[edit : sorry this is a very long comment 😅]
This is the first video I watch from you. I like it when reactors actually give an analysis and thoughts like you did, as well on a musical point of view as sharing your personal opinion.
I mostly don't like when people pause in a middle of a word or of a note, but each time you do, you go back so it works for me.
16:10 Indeed most people do pay more attention to vocalists, I try to always listen to each instrument and sometimes have to listen to a song like 10 times to fully enjoy it. And in UTA I have to say each band member is extremely talented. They all are awesomley skilled.
27:29 The drummer didn't leave the band, Scott Buchanan and Brittney are actually a couple. Grant, the guitarist who does most of the growls is also still in. The other guitarist in this video is not part of the band anymore, don't know his name. Andrew (Andy) Kingsley is now in his place, and does also some bassy growls (Grant still does most of the growls). He is the one in the video of "Awakening". About the bass they've had many different bassists, now they recently announced Nick Miller became permanent member on the bass after touring with them for a while.
You're right about the guitar solo's. It has to fit the song. Like Mark Knopfler (I know he's not a metal guitarist but he is a fucking great guitar player), when he plays e.g. "Expresso Love", he keeps it simple and since I think 1985 (or 1983 I'm not sure) he lets the saxophone also take a part of the solo. But in "Sultans of Swing" or "Tunnel Of Love", in the studio version the song ends (or actually fades) during the guitar solo, so when he plays them live then he shows his skills.
About not really watching the video, same for me I barely pay attention to what happens on the screen, to me it's the music that's important. I saw in the thumbnails you reacted to a Nanowar of Steel song. I assume on that one you've watched the video, because with those guys you have to 😂. It's probably the next one of your vids I'll check. Don't know if you've already did a Sumo Cyco video, on their clips there is also much happening on the screen so it's also interesting to watch, at least knowing the context.
I didn't know before the end you're actually a bass player (in the beginning you grabbed what I thought was a guitar, didn't really looked in detail at that point). But I wanted to tell you anyway without knowing, you should know in the not video-edited version of this song, after the guitar solo there is also a sort of bass solo or at least a bassy bridge. They also play it when they perform live. It could have been too much but in this case I think it fits the song very well. (Btw, they do sound that good live! It's not the case of all bands but they really do)
Also, I've read the description so I'm not making a reaction suggestion here, but if you want to hear Brittney hitting high notes without that pinch, you should definitely check their song "Faster than Light". So as I said I'm not asking you to react to it, only for yourself 😉. Also, I'm not subscribing yet because it's the first vid I've watched from you, but I'm going to check a few more because I like the way you analyse the songs, and then I should subscribe 😉.
About Patreon, I'm familiar with it and I do support a few artists, but as I said, I'll first check you out and I'll see 😃.
Rock on 🤘
Absolutely, take your time, check out the channel, and see if it's a channel you feel like following. I have absolutely no problem with that at all, I wish more people would do that honestly. At the end of the day, if you just aren't feeling it and you don't want to become a member of The Fanbase, that's totally o.k. I get it. I know this channel isn't for everyone, and I respect that. I'm just thrilled you gave the channel an honest chance. Hopefully you'll join us, if not, no harm no foul.
@@THEDavidHeretic Thank you. I subscribed in between. I like your "procedure" of reacting and your honesty, as well as you are respectful to everyone (at least from what I've seen).
I probably won't join your Patreon as I always try to join Patreon communities where there are less people supporting. If I do join yours it would probably be the 1$ (€ in my case 🇧🇪) tier, so I can keep giving bigger amounts to people who have a little community 😉
@@Noup309729 That's totally up to you, I can appreciate your stance on the whole Patreon thing. If you join, that's great. If not, no worries no harm no foul.
Hi, David. I have to say I’m in complete agreement with you in regards to guitarists going ham. I had misfortunate of seeing Kiss in concert with V.V. He absolutely ruined their songs. So glad they got rid of him. As a bassist, one of the first things I learned was that more often than not, what you don’t play is as important as what you do play. I hate when guitarists forget they are musicians playing a song, and instead try to be gold medalists in the Olympic Shredfest Games. I’m so glad the guitarists of this band get it, and play well within the context of the song. At one point during the solo they even brought in the vocal melody line and it sounded great. As for Brittany singing operatic, she can sing opera. Here’s a link you might enjoy on your own time. It’s totally fun and shows off her talents even more. Cheers! ruclips.net/video/Txb0GV9PGl4/видео.html
Great reaction!! if you want to listen to an insane range of vocals check out the song (the wind that shapes the land) My favorite new song of 2021 !!!
TONIGHT WE RIDE (at about a toddler's walking pace)
Yes. This band currently doesn't have a permanent bassist. They toured last year and had a bassist touring with them. The rest of the members were in the video for Awakening 🤘😊🤘
Nick Miller (the touring bass player) was confirmed as a perm member of the band on their FB page 6th Dec
John, oh no, was hoping we could get David an audition 😄
Shout out to one of the best bands performing live: Anthrax, with pearls like "Antisocial", "Keep it in the family", "Belly in the beast", "I am the law" or "Indians". (The fact that this was made here is purely uncoincidental)
Btw, just in case ur interested...

Have fun
Holy cow those vocals were amazing. The entire band was amazing. If I have to critique, I am not a fan of the mixing of this recording. It sounds a bit muddy? Lacking in clarity and some really good low-end.
Listen to the original video. The muddy sound is from the RUclipsr's mixing.
@@kenb4530 Thanks! While it is better, it is still a bit on the muddy side IMO. When you've got some good fast double kicks coming in you'd generally want a bit more attack in there for example. It could also be YT's compression though I doubt it.
@@ErnestRamos it's from their first studio album Time Stands Still, and if I'm not mistaken, this song was written and recorded way before the full album was done, as other songs from the album have a better mix. Their mix got insanely better on their 2 latest albums Apex and Abyss
TITLE TRACK "APEX" to hear some of their best work (studio version) ... same album as Awakening.
“The Wind That Shapes The Land” & “Apex” are THE epic UTA songs.
good morn from good old Bavaria north. I just somehow dont get warm with this song, although i really could hear awakening all day long. You did give me some more deep facts on the song.-..still.....hm....dont want to hear it more then before. but good morning coffee watch, thx for it:) if theres some awakening like even from niches, i would love to know, somehow just dont find some actual symp/melodic metal, that gets me.
👍🤘👌
8.6 score for me
You know, I'm not that into power metal anymore. That said, Unleash the Archers is something special. I think it's because they add just enough grit and minor mode sections to cut through the "cheese" of power metal.
Good
Awesome channel, good music & videos. I subscribe. Please react to Monica Naranjo - Europa. She's amazing, one of the best female voices in the world. An incredible music metal /rock /opera. Greetings. Link 😜👇

I just saw a live version of this song two days ago. She was amazing live also, hitting those notes. The drummer was questionable in that video though, bit of a pity.
2 male growlers fyi
It's an ok song imo but I can't watch the vid. It's SOOOOOO cheesy lol
Whole thing cheesy as hell, I can see why people like this stuff but it’s def not for me
Her voice is amazing though
