Amazing reaction as always bro. 👊👊
Amazing song as always... You guys were one of my favorite new discoveries in 2020!
@@Boerke 100% agree... same here! The band is absolutely Top3 for me and Brittney is in my quattrofecta of Metal godesses! (Tarja, Amy Lee, Tatiana are the other 3) ^^
Amaizing music and instrumentation like always. Great reaction, great song, great music.
Amazing reaction to an AMAZING song and band! Congrats to be nominated at the Junoawards. You'd deserve it. (UTA is my favourite discovery of the last year..)
You guys are amazing and deserve every bit of success. I'm not just saying that out of Canadian solidarity either. I hope you can get back out to play some gigs sooner rather than later.
I’m going to say Unleash The Archers needs a day at least for a few weeks
Fantastic musicians and people. Wonderful music and reaction.
Good on you for the Beast In Black intro music. Brittany’s wails always get me so hyped. You gotta check the two song EP Explorers
When this goes live to the public, I wouldn’t be surprised if Brittany leaves a comment. She has commented on other reaction channels if she knows about it
I think Scott is the last person on the planet who would pull a hammy with that pedal work he puts in!
Right? I figured that duster would give him some super powers, too.
Unless he was dehydrated
Ok, now time for Legacy by UTA. That song does things to me that no other song has in YEARS
Hell yes, Legacy is amazing, I second this.
Totally agree. That song was a huge attention grabber first time I listened through the album. It's so interesting, total ear candy.
Yes please!!!!!!!!
Amazing song Legacy
My favorite track on the new album. From the first time I heard it, I knew it was special.
"Stereotypical UtA" Yep. You're god damn right it is. And that stereotype is crazy talented, insanely catchy, fast paced, high energy power metal. The breakdown/solo section of this song (Where you mentioned the lead work) disgusts me on a pure talent and sound level. Its SO god damn awesome, and I am so excited to meet all of them again when the pandemic is over and they come back on tour. Seriously one of my favourite bands I have *ever* discovered.
They’re so damn good, it’s ridiculous, man. I’d love the day where you and I could go see them at the same concert. 🤘
@@TankTheTech oh dude. The conversations we would have at the meet & greet after the show would just be icing
@@TankTheTech I had the chance to see them with Helion Prime twice back in 2018, and just missed both time. Still kicking myself.
@@RaptorMk2 I hope You will have a chance to see it in the future. And me too.
I think you need to check out "Tonight we ride" kick ass song as always by UTA
You thought you were impressed with Brittney before? Make a once-a-week UtA reaction and start with Tonight We Ride. Let’s go!
(her most impressive song, imo)
Fun fact, Brittany Slays said in Alex Haffner react that shooting this video there was a old couple when she finished and that couple thought she won for real and got those flowers and prizes. Lol
Tank: That's a weird gun to be starting a chase. Me: (chuckling inwardly)
That was my thought exactly. Hehe😎
Do you know - When this video was released there was quite a lot of people who agreed that at the first UtA Concert they go to, they will wear outfits like this. It will surely be a sight for sore eyes 😁.
Cheers / B.
Oh man, I’m in. Hahaha
Let’s all go to an UTA show in these outfits
The same people talking about doing the skeleton dance the first time Nightwish performs Tribal live. Lol.
@@pv2xeek doing the skeleton dance this outfit. Haha
Seriously, I honestly expect there to be plenty of people wearing these outfits and coming out running somewhere as soon as they start playing the song
UTA is one of those bands whose songs get even more awesome with repeated listens because you keep discovering layers of cool details you hadn't noticed before, whether it's a lead melody, a drum fill, an unconventional time shift, or a subtle homage to other bands. Case in point: the 10 or so seconds before Brittney's opening scream on Awakening. That part always sends shivers down my spine, and after a couple of listens I realized why: it sounds a lot like the opening of Queensryche's classic Queen Of The Reich. I freaking love this band, and it would be awesome if I ever got the chance to see them live.
There’s actually a video of brittney at a karaoke bar singing Queen of the Reich if you didn’t know that!
@@cmillivol98 Cool, I'll look that up!
They also did a full cover as a bonus track for the Japanese release of Apex. (Can be found on RUclips, but the video is just a still of the album cover.)
This is true, the thing with repeated listens: I've purchased Apex and Abyss at the same time and have given it a spin one right after the other one, and at first, I was not so impressed with Abyss, but now, I think it is better than Apex.
Oh! I didn't put it together with the Long Walk! Well spotted, that was an interesting read for sure.
I thought there was no way that connection was right until Grant said it was and I saw Brittney’s quote in the press releases. Haha
@@TankTheTech Brittney is a SERIOUS fantasy literature nerd, so doing something like that is completely in-character for her. If you ever interview her on the channel, ask her about her bookshelf, she usually has one in the frame behind her.
Nice reaction Bro!!! (as usual of course) Yeah... maybe "Tonight We Ride".... "The General of the Dark Army"...(there are definitely more) But so glad to see you getting back to them !! Congrats on the new "mini" Tank !!! Let's hope UtA will win the Juno award this year !!! Cheers !!
"What kind of Stratovarius is this? I love it!" Was what I said the first time I heard this song. And it's f*cking great.
Dude id forgotten about stratovarius and now that I think about, I can hear the similarity!
UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Tonight We Ride
It is now reccommended in every Unleash the archers reaction you;ve uploaded. And Jinjers - Pisces.. just to be sure, that you read it.
It would be a pleasure for me to have a lkokkt at this song. Again greetz from Germany! Stay heavy!
This song is so awesome! And btw, thank you very much, Tank, for that Info about that Stephen King background! 😉🤘
Yes. This clip is exactly inspired by Richard Bachman (S King) book.
One of my most favorite breakdowns in a song!
Kids are the best! I have three girls and it's the best thing anyone can accomplish in life. Im sure you both will be great parents 😊
I F'ing LOVE Unleash the archers! 🤘😊
Great reaction! I wish I'd discover them earlier. Pre-ordered Abyss on vinyl as soon as it was available. Sadly Apex is no were to be found on vinyl any more. Not even used on discogs. Thats how good they are. No one wants to sell their copies.🤘
Tank, dont sleep on Demons of the AstroWaste. Plus, its the 10th anniversary this year. Pretty damn good for not being signed when they made it. "General of the Dark Army", "Ripping Through Time", "Realm of Tomorrow", "Dawn of Ages", "Daughters of Winterstone", or "Battle in the Shadow (of the Mountain)"
Yes! More UtA is always appreciated. This was one of my favorite songs off of Abyss. When will you be checking out some more of Epica's new album? It propelled them to the top for me and given your love of heaviness, there's some songs on there (such as Omega) I think you'll absolutely love
The music video where they wander around a town is awesome.
What an incredible band a breath of fresh air that blend of melodic death & power metal is insane
Dude, you know you've made it when you're too busy to interview Grant! Just playing brother. Congrats on the baby!!!!!
Hahahahahahaha
Great reaction! Just keep going with Unleash The Archers songs, they're all great! Some suggestions are "Time Stands Still", "Abyss", "Tonight We Ride" and their cover of "Northwest Passage".
Also, looking forward for your interview with Grant!
it's been overlooked so far in the comments, but big time congratulations on your first kid!
Also, "that's an odd gun to use to start a race" just wait...
Awesome song and video, pretty sure the first time I saw it was on Chase's channel. Enjoyed your reaction to it as well Tank keep up the good work.
If you want something a little different from their usual sound, you could try 'Legacy', also from Abyss, and there's a video for it (though again, gear light). Another good one (with some gear) is 'Cleanse the Bloodlines' from Apex.
Another awesome one. I really hope you looked into the story of the concept albums. This one was about not being able to escape the Matriarch - just like death, she's going to inevitably catch you, it's just one of the laws of nature. You can try, but you'll never outrun her.
I know this video went up a while ago, but even if you don't do reactions, I think you'd really enjoy some of their older videos. "Tonight We Ride" is like Soulbound in that it is nonstop galloping, makes you want to go to a gym and pick up heavy stuff and put it back down. "General of the Dark Army" is a much darker song and shows the band I think not too many years after Andrew and Grant joined, and they kind of found the sound they have now, but before they started layering vocals a lot more or adding synthetics. "Northwest Passage" will very likely make you tear up. "Test Your Metal" is an absolute banger of a chanting song, and you'll probably get a lot of nostalgia for touring 😉. "Dawn of Ages" I only just found today and it shows their authenticity, even in the early days - that sense of fun and adventure and willingness to take risks and be silly.
"Time Stands Still," "Apex," "Cleanse the Bloodlines," "The Matriarch," and of course Brittney's video singing Queen of the Reich in a karaoke bar - all also amazing.
- Jamie
I really thought you've done this one before hahaha. Grant surely chose the best for you!
This is what I love about power metal haha, it's always making you want to get up and conquer the world
When you come for the video and is overjoyed by seeing 2 Byf and 1 esoterickk videos on the recommended after the music ended. I'm glad to see you're still fighting, guardian. Amazing reaction, dude and congrats for the baby! It seems I haven't checked your videos for a while since it was news to me.
Thanks man! And yeah, I’m always into Destiny. Haha. I’m Loving this seasons content and story so far.
"Cleanse the Bloodlines" from UTA. You're gonna love it.
But first you really need to see "The Gunman" by Orlando Ogan. Excellent power metal.
*Orden Ogan...but yes...they are excellent and should find a few reactions on this channel. Severely underrated/overlooked metal band.
@@rivanlords1 I type their name all the time... friggin auto correct
Dope song for sure
Dude, Congrats on the baby! Fatherhood is a great gift. Good luck!
This was such a fun video! I didn't make the connection with The Long Walk myself, but it makes sense. Can't wait to see these guys in Eindhoven in December (no way we're still in lockdown 9 months from now, right? 🙄).
Oh, and great reaction btw 😁
Thanks Jeroen! Hopefully you get to see them then!
I hope so, too since I got my tickets for Hamburg (25.11) & Kassel (26.11.) 🤘
Finally!!!! I've been waiting for this so long! Haha 🤘
Great reaction man, and also good luck with the kiddo, hope all goes well, and are healthy :)
Always like the chunks of background information you are providing in your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Love this band and love your reactions to them! I'd definitely recommend watching "Tonight We Ride," "Cleanse the Bloodlines," and their cover of the Stan Rogers song, "Northwest Passage".
YES! Now to do The Wind That Shapes The Land ;)
Had that song stuck in my head for a week when it first came out. Well, here we go again
BTW Brittney said in Elizabeth's interview that shooting this vid, that couple at finnish line did actually think she won some bigger run. Lolol.
Good to hear Beast in Black on the intro, noticed you only reacted to one song, you need to do some more Beast! Maybe From Hell with Love.
I'm shocked you picked up on The Long Walk reference. Never heard anyone else get that. Props :D
Total chance because I've read the book before. Haha
Agreed! I thought I was one of the few who caught that. Probably my favorite of King's Bachman books.
What an amazing reaction! Love it bro, one of if not THE best reactions on youtube brother! 🙌🏻💪🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks a ton, man!
@@TankTheTech any time my friend! 🤘🏻🔥
Tonight we ride... LET'S GOOO... COME ON!
Yes, they keep me amazed. It was not the first time I saw the clip but they keep bringing the catchy music.
For a complete change of pace have a go of their cover of Northwest Passage, that's a phenomenal cover and, as usual, a great video. Legacy as well, that track is beautiful.
My favourite Unleash the Archers song I’ve heard so far!! Haven’t heard much of their stuff yet but looking forward to it! Great reaction as always.
Great reaction. I discovered them last year and now they're on my daily playlist. I always loved Power Metal but for me these guys are doing this in an really amazing new way mixing it up with a few growls and sometimes old hard rock vibes. For me a perfect combination. I also appreciate that they know how to use social media for their craft and love watching them giving an interview or showing how to play their riffs. Can't wait to see them live.
Should you listen to more Unleash the Archers?
Tank Fact: Yes.
Yes! More Unleash the Archers!!!
OMG Yes, thank you! I knew instantly, when the first one got shot, it remind me of something but I couldn't remember what it was - of course: The long walk! I'd been reading "IT" when I was very young (probably 13) and got scolded by my mum because I had nightmares for quite a while afterwards... When I got my hands on the upper one I was around 20 but nonetheless, it really gave me the chills >_< Great homage!
I love how you have Dio in the background, considering Brittney is the second coming of him :)
i knew you would love that breakdown \m/ insane lead guitar work in that part. well.. insane music and vocal work the entire song.. as always :P
I think the video for Northwest Passage will hit home for you a bit. It's an homage to them touring with a bit of a twist. Would make for a great reaction video.
But for pure headbanging enjoyment you need to react to Cleanse the Bloodlines.
I remember seeing a Brittney interview, where she was talking about this video. She said the bystanders would clap along when she held up the trophy, and just went along with the events in the video.
We watch your reactions as your beard grows mightier and mightier every time.
💪💪💪🤘🤘🤘
Grant is the nicest dude ever. Spent like 45 minutes before their set hanging out with my buddies and I outside the Venue.
Glad to help and support you and the bands that I love. Greetings from Northern Ireland 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
Ireland! Welcome, man! Thank you!
Great reaction tank, love ur face expressions when you watch UTA, Cleanse the Bloodlines should be next one, its an epic tune and music video to go with it, then Tonight We Ride for the full Britney Slayes Vocal Power performance also have great harsh vocals on both these tracks too
Amazing reaction as always 🙌 This is a great song that I really like but to be honest, my heart skipped a couple of beat when I saw your name and Unleashed the Archers. I was so ready for Northwest Passage 🤘😎🤘
I wish you and your wife all the best with everything and hope that it goes well for you and that everyone is well. We are with you 110%, even as far away as Sweden 💛💙
Take care and thanks for all the amazing reactions you do.
Peace ✌
Thank you so much, Jonas! Much appreciated!
Great reaction! The video is a pretty good metaphor for the song. The song is about The Immortal and their allies fleeing from The Matriarch. The Matriarch takes down the Immortal's allies through their flight until the final confrontation in the next track: "The Wind That Shapes The Land"
Brittany did an interview about this video. Apparently they had a terrible time finding a site that wasn't too busy. And when she "won", the clapping fans in the back were just people who happened to be there. Heh heh. Rock on, Sir! 🤘🤘
Absolute banger of a song, one of my favorites of the new album!
SOOO GOOOOOD!
They recorded the video during COVID so they were pretty limited to what they could do, which is why the MV seems unrelated, but they just wanted to have some fun
Blind and frozen at the back.....ohhhhh amazing
good choice Tank... how about to do some of these:
Design your Universe (live) / Unleashed (live ) - Epica
The Scarecrow (The flying Opera live) - Avantasia
Burning Time (live) / Angels Holocaust / Dante's Inferno- Iced Earth
Damn my first thought was The Long Walk, fantastic story, and then you said it. Like wise I had a teacher when I was 12 not liking me reading Firestarter by Stephen King. And metal is metal, love it all.
it is still absolutely bonkers to me that the best breakdown i heard in 2020 was from a power metal song - by far my favorite UTA song
Really impressed that you nailed the concept of The Long Walk parody. I believe you are the first one too. Well done and look forward to more UTA reactions!!
Just chance that I've actually read that book before.
Tank:
Not sure if you're familiar with it, but _The Long Walk_ seems to be the book that inspired some movies:
1) Running Man, with Arnold Schwarzennegger
2) Battle Royale, a movie from Japan that inspired other movies on this list
3) The Condemned, with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Vinnie Long
4) The Hunger Games
5) The _Death Race_ series of movies
Your buddy Zach is wearing a 9:30 Club shirt in the picture! Shout out the 9:30 Club - the best place to see music in DC!
I live that club. Worked there many times.
@@TankTheTech it’s awesome! Seen more shows there than I can count.
I love the Beast in Black in the background.
Unleash The Archers 🏹
"The Wind That Shapes The Land "
Best song on the new record!!
And yes Brittney wailing is a thing. Its her signature on most songs lol 😆
And yes it pertains to the story that began on the Apex album and continued on this one. :)
Both Abyss and Apex was recorded at Hansen studios with Jakob Hansen handling engineering, mixing and mastering 8no producer is mentioned).
Just bought both Abyss, Apex and Northwestern Passage about a month ago, only know of them through reaction channels on youtube.
Nice! And yeah, Hansen consistently cranks out amazing sounding albums.
6:36 I can confirm. I was reading adult James Patterson books in 7th grade. The first one I had read was Kill Me If You Can and I had actually gotten the book from my grandmother lol it came from her house
Ive been a power metal fan since Helloween´s Keepers. This band is really amazing. Production is just beautiful!
YES Tank!!!
@TankTheTech, if u pay attention, the video does follow the story as they’re tryin to escape from the Matriarch (the gunman).
Awesome reaction, love UTA. Great song, great band. More UTA is always good. Thanks!
Got a speeding ticket last week with this song in my speakers.
Now we need a live reaction of the entire Apex album so you can understand the story
I'd like to recommend Machinae Supremacy, from Sweden. "SID" Metal, lots of inspiration from retro video game music. I'd suggest the song "Force Feedback", it touches upon the clash of modern age of technology and the mentality of those "from ancient times"
Congrats on the little roadie!
and putting holy diver in the background after the song, nice
Cool video! Love the song for sure. Love the old school power metal. If you need a thief one from them you have to listen to Cleanse the bloodlines . Is is different a little bit it great plus the video!
Also props on the old school hockey shirt from a fellow hockey guy.
"The wind that shapes the land" is my fav but when I play it I stay listening to the whole album
Unleash the Archers brings this fresh power metal sound cemented on NWOBHM principles, great reaction bro as usual.
NWOBHM principles, ? yeah i'm old explain please.. and Thank You ! Cheers !!
I’ve been telling you for months, man. You definitely need more UtA in your life😊 It’s always interesting watching reactions to this video how American reactors always spot to the gun immediately while we Europeans just, a gun is a gun is a gun🤷♂️😅 I would recommend “General of the dark army” next. An oldie but a good one.
ULA is awesome and this album is so good. I've listened to the whole thing so much on my spotify since it came out
Awesome one Tank. Love this song. UTA always bring it. Now i have to listen to the album again.
Reaction Request: If you want to discover 2 bands at once.
Grave Digger - Rebellion (feat. Hansi (Blind Guardian) and Van Canto) live at Waken 2010. They are a German heavy metal band that sing about Scottish history (which I know you like). This video has everything: Bagpipes, awesome bass line, shredding solo, waken crowd singing. I hope you get the chorus stuck in your head as long as I have. Van canto is a German accapella metal band but where they differ is including a real drum kit instead of beatboxing.
I heard that Ronnie the gunman was very uncomfortable to be brandishing the gun in public and was mostly trying to hide it in his pocket when not in a scene.
haha, i'd too
Great reaction, man! UTA are definitely power metal, but I think they’re something more as well. Other reactions have compared Awakening specifically to Iron Maiden, and I agree that they have a classic sound as well. And as you dive into UTA’s discography you’ll find a lot more harsh vocals in their older albums. The band’s been on an interesting musical journey, but I firmly believe they’re at their best now, and the stories Brittney wrote for Apex and Abyss make the music even more amazing. I hope you’ll get the chance to listen to these two albums with the lyrics, and definitely check out Brittney’s track-by-track explanation for both albums. Together, the albums tell a great story. I can’t help but get emotional over the events of the story in Abyss. Unleash the Archer’s have absolutely taken me on a journey, and I love(d) every moment of it!
I'm going to continue suggesting Test Your Metal. I know you'll come across that one sooner or later, but man...that's a nice throwback banger and Brittney hits impossible notes.
This dropped ten min after I was rewatching awakening reaction.
Nice!
Your “recommendations” page at the end looked like mine would. Destiny videos, “The Charismatic Voice”, etc, lol.
You need to check out "TONIGHT WE RIDE". Great metal, great video and Brittney`s vocals are just phenomenal !!!
I Love UTA. I Love UTA reactions. Thanks again brother. Good stuff.
