This band reached another level with this album
They reached, the Apex...
I unliked this comment just so I could like it again two years later lol. They really outdid themselves
Lucifer Alpha?
They absolutely did. It's so good in every way.
it is my favorite work of them, the whole story that they try to tell of the immortal in the lyrics fits perfectly in the melody of the songs, just respect
i listened to several powermetal bands but this lady's vocals... she makes the tones that give goosebumps
After all these years, this song remains insanely amazing. It's actually been my daughter's lullaby since she was 6 months old (she's 3 now.), and I sang it for her. Puts her to sleep every time.
Aaw. Wholesome
* Screaming in your daughter's face * FOLLOW ME TO APEX!!!!!
No i'm just kidding, I assume you probably sing it softer than Brittney does.
It's amazing the songs that children find soothing. Realizing you probably weren't serenading her with a full band with a Marshall stack blowing out the windows 😜. My son was "Dead Eyes See No Future" by Arch Enemy (full band version believe it or not) and my daughter was "The Fire Never Dies" by Killwhitneydead/Line of Fire. I guess having metalhead parents helps.
Insanely amazing is indeed the way to describe it. 🤘
Used to nap with my 3 months old son listening to Pantera... 🙂
he's now an adult - Wow time flies!
First off I'm 68 years old and I've played guitar since I was nine years old in 1961. I also taught well over twenty five years. I try to listen to as many different styles as i can. I'm normally not a fan of what I would call speed metal of drumming with a lot of 'blast beats,' but I just found this band by accident and I just have to say WOW!! I'm totally blown away. When I was in a band in the '60's we were known as a heavy band playing Led Zep, Steppenwolf, Hendrix, Ten Years After, etc. If I were a young player today I'd probably be playing this kind of stuff. Thanks for posting.
Wow, thanks for sharing! I love both 60'-70's music and modern heavy metal as well, I guess good music is inter-generational.
This is more than just "good". This is gigantic...
This is the only band I've ever seen play a fully *immaculate* 1/16th note intro in 160BPM (Tonight We Ride) and it made me immediately grab the tabs and practice for hours. The bass solo in this track is pretty epic, but my favorite part is actually just how laid back the string players manage to look during their solos. I feel like I would be making a lemonjuice face trying to play something like this.

@@Atemus10 I just checked this tune out. Really cool. Thanks for posting.
Hello mountain, remember me
Child of your womb
I return from a perilous place
To the warmth of your hollow
Embrace me
Steady giant, monolith
Lend me your heart
I am weakened again, tired
Mend my scars
As your power, it sinks into me
Your roots take their hold
My body as one with the earth
My blood as the stone
The mountain, my home
Heavy walls enclose me
Cover me in endless warmth
And now the dreams will come
Lucid freedom takes me
To a world no longer run by the laws of relativity
Fly out beyond the stars
Where the wind takes me away
And leads me through the dark
Defying gravity
Can you follow me?
Follow me to apex
Can you follow me?
Follow me to apex
Through a meadow running
Feel the sun upon my face
And the air in intoxicates
Rushing like a river
Toward a waterfall that takes me out beyond reality
Away, you lead me through dark
Defying gravity
Can you follow me?
Follow me to apex
Can you follow me?
Follow me to apex
Can you follow me?
Follow me to apex
Can you follow me?
Follow me to apex
Can you follow me?
Follow me to apex
Can you follow me?
Follow me to apex
Brother mountain
Now we sleep
For a thousand years
I will see you again
Something is coming
Coming for me
very good lyrics
Wow. Those vocals were absolutely INSANE.
The 'gallop' at the end reminds me of old school Iron Maiden. Hallowed be the Archers. Well done.
You, sir, win the internets.
Best comment I've read about UtA. 🤘👍
The intro reminded me of Maiden right away. I had to take a look at the screen to make sure I wasn't trippin.
Fear of the Dark of modern metal
@@UhYeahWhateverDude The Clansman -Rock at Rio
All Nikko down there..
If awakening made me a fan, this song made me a diehard one, amazing in so many ways.
"Steady giant. Monolith.
Lend me your heart"
Goosebumps EVERY time. Incredible song.
"Apex" is a tremendous single on so many levels. Usually, songs over 8 minutes in duration tend to drag on for far too long & become an exercise in filler self indulgence, but not in this case. Everything just clicks with this number from the resounding percussion, to the all encompassing guitar riffs; & of course, the unforgettable vocals of Brittney Hayes. My, my, my can this woman sing. Jesus! You could put this track on a incessant feedback loop & I'd never grow weary of it. I love metal bands who aren't afraid to harmonize the chorus hook. "Can you follow me? Follow me to Apex." Once you hear that refrain, it will never leave your brain. It's like a permanent branding of your noggin. In addition, I also enjoyed how "Apex" started as a surreal ballad, galloped into a fast paced no holes barred anthem, & finally returned back to it's slow & subdued, humble beginnings. Nicely done Unleash The Archers! You have absolutely created a masterpiece here in the epic, Heavy Metal realm. Incredible.
All of their 7-8+ mins long songs play really quickly. They're just an awesome fricking band.
Well said, but it's "no *holds* barred." The term came from pro wrestling, in which they used to make a big deal about illegal holds and maneuvers, which heels (the bad guys) always used behind the ref's back. Nowadays, it's just called No DQ or a street fight.
Get this guy a fuckin' Puppers
It has a trooper feel to it very Maiden like love it.
Not even a god could've said it better!
I love this whole album, but Apex is by far my favorite song. Love the 'Maiden guitar riffs as well. Brittany's vocals are so crisp and clear whereas other bands may not be with a song this heavy. Kudos to everyone in the band and Napalm for posting this masterpiece. Late Edit: This is the type of music I would love to hear on regular radio.
Apex definitely has flavors of Maiden's "Dance of the Dead"...
sorry, radio wouldn't know good music if it bit them.
Wow! Amazing❤🎵❤🎵
I completely agree!🤘
@@brianshakesby9826Haha you’re right about that. I never listen to it anymore. Like, listen to any classic rock station for example. You’ll hear Tom Sawyer by Rush EVERY DAY! You’ll hear Spirit of Radio, Limelight, YYZ…. one or two others maybe. But you’ll never hear another great song off Moving Pictures, which is Witch Hunt. One of the most epic songs ever made, IMHO. Yeah, you’re absolutely right on. Same stuff over and over and that’s why no one listens to radio.
This is an absolute belter of a track. Definately a favourite
Brittney's voice is always an 11/10 on an inspirational level - this song just blows my mind as she adds sheer beauty to her vocal quality. As much as I love her power vocals I hope to hear more of this tone woven into future works. Way to go on the guitar work too gents - I loved the Zepp vibe and also just had a weird Joe Satriani feeling in the solo that I've not heard in your other works I don't believe. So much tasty tasty music. Omg can we just get back to seeing bands live! UTA is on the top of my list.
Only just discovered this band in 2019, this is a masterpiece! 🤘
I am discovering this band right now. It is really excellent! A mix of Angra with Iron Maiden, a Rhapsody of Fire vibe, and powerful female vocals. A gem in the midst of such a worn metal scene.
I'm just learning about them in 2020. At first I was like, "they're ok, I'll listen some more." Well the more I listen the more I like them, and I've currently been bingeing them for 4 days straight. They've solidified a place in my favorites. Great band!!!
Agreed
Same :)
@@adamdoak6457 I'm sad I did not get to see them in Chicago due to the pandemic. Next time.
So so many emotions build up listening to this band. My feet are burning.
this album is a gem. As an old rocker I love 'new' guys to keep the flame alive. She's has an awesome voice and attitude but let's not forget that the rest of the band is amazing too. This song's solos are soooo good and the drummer at 5:58 always takes me
The Maiden feels is strong with this one.
See unleash the archers click as fast as possible, and enjoy every second.
Best thing to come out of Canada since that little band called Rush. Absolutely amazing!
I have thought the same thing after finding them. They feel like Rush, but WAY heavier and awesome in their own right.
Why is it so rare to find talent like this?
because there are not enough record labels like Napalm.
Gojira, Tool, (Old) Novelists, Landmvrks, Chevelle, Imminence. They're out there. Cheers!
@@vaughnblaylock6069 I have heard of all of those bands since this comment,and they are all very talented in their way.
3 years later and this song still gives me chills...absolutely amazing! I can't wait for the new album!
Unleash the Archers is hands down one of my favorite bands that I've recently discovered. This song solidifies that ranking.
I've never wanted to charge a castle, with zero context, MORE IN MY LIFE.
What about when listening to Sabaton's "The Last Stand"?
This band is my generations Iron Maiden and I will die on this hill
Rarely can a song evoke so much emotion in me. This fucking just spoke to me on such a deep level. i fucking love this song
That is my reaction, too. I understand what you’re saying. That has to feel great to the band knowing they are putting out genius level vibes that make people excited for life. We need it, right?
One of my favorite songs in recent memory. i feel so honored to be alive at the same time as UTA
Agreed!
Dat Iron Maiden feeling during the riffs... MMMmmm... lovely....
I thought maiden right away as well. The guitar work and that lovely gallop! They sure have developed a distinct sound in the guitars, especially the solos. Listened to the album 12 times in the last 5 days. Up the irons
I know right I love that iron maiden feel to the rifts
hahaha! thought the same thing
gtkall Well, Brittney did mention that the reason she likes metal and a big inspiration is Iron Maiden, so makes sense. :)
Yar
Honestly I think this is my favorite uta song
This song apex and the matriorch are the two best songs this band has ever done. Absolutely magnificent. And they have so many great songs.
Now this is my comfort song. It reminds me whenever I would go mountain hiking.
This song is f*cking BEAUTIFUL!!! As I listen, I picture in my mind an official music video with the band playing on a mountaintop just rockin' the summit. Majestic views, powerful riffs, pounding drums, and soaring vocals, just imagining the echoes across the mountains.
See I think this is the song when the good guy gets beaten down but he becomes his true self and gains one up on the baddies and starts absolutely pounding them a new one
This album..is hands down my favorite of any of recent memory, literally start to finish with no skips. This song though..just.. *high pitched yell*
You know a song is good when you get a workout listening to it.
The full album is a buildup for APEX
Still fucking love this song. Absolute RIPPER
I am just discovering this ridiculously talented band. This song has all the elements of Iron Maiden, Foo Fighters and Queensryche all put together into one amazing package. Incredible stuff!!
THIS
SONG
NEEDS
MORE
VIEWS!!!
Stuck pn repeat in my brains. I cannot unthink of this song. My first steps into the heavy metal/rock type were on the beats of Iron Maiden. Now that ive hear this song, i only can highlight the sheer and raw talent of the whole band. They produced a masterpiece of the genre and i sincerely hope they will prevail for many years/decades.
Awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍
I love how UtA doesn't fuck around with their epicly named songs. The epicer the name, the epicer the track.
No words can describe how good this song is!
Truly a masterpiece.
Unblessing the purity very nice
This band just keep getting better can't stop playing the apex cd
I KNOW RIGHT?!? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! 🤩🎸🎵🎶
2020 and this is still taking me to the Apex
I LITERALLY CANNOT GET OVER HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU CANADIAN DORKS
Same though. I really want to see Unleash the Archers live so bad. There are many bands in this genre I want to see--some don't even tour in the US-
The appropriate answer is "Sorry."
I have had goosebumps occurring over and over again listening to UTA for the last ten hours.
This album is absolutely phenomenal . Their other two albums are almost as good. It is great to see a band develop over time. To get better and better . This feels like a massive success when compared to so many other bands that start out good and lose themselves over time trying to evolve and progress their music.
UTA started out great for sure, but they are only getting better as they go.
Brittney makes me cry when the riff hits and she starts singing over it.
When the first electric part kicks in, the guitar combined with the verse she's singing is just so beautiful and epic sounding, but also melancholy. It makes me feel sad at some parts but happy at others, this song.
This track was absolutely incredible.......thank you Napalm Records for posting this.....would love to see this song as an Archers music video.
Femetal Rulz!!!
Her vocal range is incredible! The entire band is as well, but especially vocals!
Love the oldschool power-metal riffing,you can hear some Maiden style too,very nice.
Totally agree, I love it! Now, imagine Bruce and Brittney doing a duet on this one!? That would be something else!
Yeah or maybe,Britt and Sarah Tweets from MindMaze,together would be cool.
Lets try to arrange that! lol
First Alestorm and then UTA?!?! thanks Napalm
Amazing track! I loved the celtic feels her voice gives to it in the start of the song. Great guitar duets too! Unleash is an amazing band :D
Wow. I’ve never been a metal guy but this is fuckin amazing! Cannot get enough of this band
Yeah same but I might use this band to get into the genre more, test the waters
She's definitely got one of the best voices in metal.
Ever
Until I heard her for the first time a couple months back, I assumed that men were the ideal voices for rock/metal because of the power they are able to generate. She makes me question this philosophy!
One of the best voices, period.
@@MrEgofreak to be fair lead female singers have always been great.
And it's extra amazing to hear her live, as I found out last week before the rest of the tour with Dragonforce was cancelled.
That voice, MY GAWD THAT VOICE!!!! Why am I just now finding out about this band?
Matt Turner Me too, just today omggg🙀😱
My first time hearing this band. Love the singing and melody of the guitar 🎸
My brother just sent me this. Shreds. Will be checking out more of their stuff.
You have a great and caring brother!
WOw. did not expect THAT good quality. Great song
Absolutely love this band apex is my battle song on Ark:SE I listen while I pvp or dino hunt
Feels so good to be alive!
Extremely Extremely awesome n crushingly dam good metal band
Her voice is so full of raw emotion and edge and the vibrato is out of this world! A vocal coach brought me here. I was watching some reaction videos of their song Awakening and decided to check out some of the other songs. Gotta say, I'm really digging this band so far and think I might be a fan! lol
I love how much this band has progressed in comparison to their beginning. From rather "eh ok", they have really grown up to some serious stuff.
It is incredibly rare for me to find music that affects me on an emotional level. This fuckin does it.
Wow. Just...wow...
That's pretty much all I can come up with.
I always cry when I listen this song
What a great band! Just discovered them! It's like a female version of the Air-raid siren! I can hear Steve's gallop in the base and kick drums too!! OMG it's Maiden on steroids!!
I am just hearing this for the first time. What have I been doing to miss this.
Can't stop listening!
I´m so sorry. I don´t understand how anyone can give a dislikes to this song from the Apex album! This song is great masterpiece! This song belongs to the golden fund of Heavy Metal. My opinion :-).
Completely agree what a shame it bever got a music video clip
I like the fact that you commented something like that in every song from Apex
The vocal harmony in the chorus on "follow me" reminds me of Don't Fear the Reaper.
That's ALL I HEAR!
Just WOW! This song embraces my soul. Thank you Brittney and crew!
Rarely, very rarely do I fall in love with a band so completely that I buy every piece of merchandise I can find and find a place to tattoo their name or logo on my skin. Only one other band. Every UTA song is a masterpiece but I think this is their crowning gem so far. May Unleash the Archers have a long and successful career and I look forward to a world tour passing through my town!
Me too! with one other band (RIP Chester)
Going on a road trip next week to catch them in Winnipeg and then Edmonton. With a stop planned in between for a UTA tat to show off at the VIP Meet and Greet \m/
They're simply the best band around right now and we're very lucky to have them. 🥰
not a canadian but i go witH your comment
I am a Canadian, and they have taken Tragically Hip's title as "Canada's Band"
Every single song in this album sounds even better in it's proper place.
This is how you do a concept album.
And now with the release of “Abyss” this has become part 1 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🏾🤘🏿
Part 1 of what?
??
@@Lovercraft378 Abyss is the sequel to Apex.
@@elithurofficial Have you been listening to the lyrics?
Welcome, to the Apex of music.
I'm glad that the first time that I heard General of the Dark Army a few years ago, I didn't immediately slam spikes in my ears. It was tough to get into and only through it playing in the background a few times did it finally grow on me. Then, when I forgot about that song, Tonight We Ride pops up and I thought that was a killer band playing. Then I realized who the band was and how different it was. Then, Test Your Metal blew me away. I suddenly had the urge to jump on the UtA bandwagon, but only after they played at a close enough venue to go see them. Go figure.
Fast forward to this year, forgot about UtA again and Cleanse The Bloodlines pops up. Amazing song, but not because just the music. Finally understanding the story telling aspect of their songs is crucial to really enjoying them. It's not just a band with grumble, grumble, drums, drums, drums, screams and a guitar solo. There's a great complexity to the lyrics on some of the songs that make you feel like you've stepped into the dark side of the book store, but you're loving it. The Matriarch is still growing on me, as will Apex and hopefully, they will make their way back down to the eastern side of Pennsylvania soon. I'll bring my first born son as payment. He'll be too busy on his tablet to notice.
Everytime I listen to this song, it makes me feel like I'm in a journey, that starts slowly and becomes faster and more interesting with every second, keeps the pace at it's peek, then slows down again at the finish, when it's time to say goodbye. I mean, I've never heard a song that has such a meaningful and deep rythym and harmonizes so well with the lyrics. Brilliant song, needs way more recognition that than. Awesome stuff
The need to feel the nature in this days are strong... Damm, she nailed it!
amazing. i love listening to this while exercising. running through a meadow feel the sun upon my face. and the air intoxicates. beautiful.
That driving beat, man
Wow! Found a band that I love and I'm 66...I'm old school.
I'm ready to go to bed, this is my lulluby. Love it so much, thank you for this peace of art
i love this song
Awesome! Great job guys! And Brittney is perfect like always!
wow! new level! sound and voice in evolution!
Perfect Album
Just another example of pure genius, pure genius awsome song
Heaven! Simply heaven!!!
Man, the solo that start at 5:16 it's one of the most beautiful things I have ever listening
I constantly come here listening to the track for that solo
I’ve listened to this song probably 100 times in the 48 hours I’ve found it. Amazing. 😍😍😍😍
AND still my favorite album. I got into this band when I heard TONIGHT WE RIDE, and Brittney's vocals were . . . .well ain't nothing can properly describe it, and that Drummer Scott KILLED it. In a most badass good way. All bands I hear always emphasize and make me hear the guitars as lead, and yeah they cool, but this one here, I was actually able to hear everything. I tuned in to the drums mostly with guitar and bass complementing it and Vocals telling the story which BY FAR is awesome. Damn near saw a movie in my head by listening to it.
I've decided this will be playing as I complete my first fourteener.
the dynamics that make up this band the level of creativity here whether it be vocally lyrically musically and conceptually and the great feelings that others are going to pick up from this
The intonation of 'Apex' around 7:13 gave me a flashback to the outro of Moonlight from King Diamond's The Spider's Lullabye
my new all-time favourite song! ❤️ ❤️ 💗
This is like a mashup between Kiss from a Rose and Iron Maiden.
I don't know what the Apex is - but i'll follow you wherever that is.
Jesus! This song is amazing!!!
