I love that look of instant joy that came over your faces when they started playing. Reminds me of myself when i first heard them a few years ago. Rock on bros!
My s/o and I were the same, when The Awakening popped up on my channel a few days ago. First words out of his mouth when it was over? "See if there's more!" Best day in a long time.
Here are some videos you have to check out - UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Tonight We Ride ruclips.net/video/UOvZKJlrtk8/видео.html - UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Cleanse The Bloodlines ruclips.net/video/PfSL-6YExzk/видео.html - Unleash The Archers - General Of The Dark Army ruclips.net/video/WVi0d7oqDvs/видео.html
Just saw them for the 2nd time this tour last night. They, Striker (Also from Canada) and Helion Prime (From California) killed it. From start to finish, all three bands just blew the roof off a small bar in Delaware. Unleashed opened with this song. They took 50 or so people and made the crowd sound like 50,000 in a stadium. Ever a chance to see any of the 3 bands is well worth the time and travel (each show was about a 2-2 1/2 hour drive one way) 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Huntress - Eight of Swords might be up your alley. If not, Battle Beast - Lionheart/Familiar Hell/Cyberspace would be awesome or Kobra and the Lotus - TriggerPulse/Specimen X would be great too!
General of the Dark Army by them is incredible. If you go with Battle Beast, I would suggest starting with enter the metal world. feckin' epic. and their guitarist looks like Nic Cage. hahaha
Ghost & The Agonist patches - awwwwwwesome, boy! Thx for the WinterSundays and the interview with Jari, btw - favourite reaction-guy meets holy-moly-inspiration-Jari :D
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the vocalist. Her voice is absolutely incredible. Has to be one of the top 5 voices, male or female of any genre of music that I've ever heard. Also, the drummer is incredible. Pornstache or not. He's fantastic. I don't play drums but know enough about them to know that his footwork is eye-poppingly consistent and even. Hard to maintain that level of play with that much consistency and power. There's usually some fall off toward the end of longer metal songs unless the drummer is a true master and this guy checked off all the boxes. And I haven't even gotten to the incredible fills he did with a pretty small kit. Just insane. The bassist was very good but not incredible. Certainly not in the same league as the singer or drummer. But very good, none the less. Now I get to what I didn't like. The guitars. I'm a guitarist and metal is my genre. Too friggin busy. I saw very good shredding and impressive fret work. They're damn good. However, time and again, people think playing fast or loading the song with virtual solos as rhythm playing equals good guitar playing. There was no chunk to the guitar playing. Nothing to dig in to and mosh to because the guitarists were playing Flight of the friggin Bumblebee through the entire song. The way the guitars were written for this song betrays a writing immaturity and a lack of editorial appropriateness. They shouldnt sacrifice the structure of a good song with unecessary instrumental fireworks. Show your virtuosity in the solos and consistent rhythm playing. As the emperor said in "Amadeus," "Too many notes.". Lol. But, these guys have HUGE talent and I'd be interested in following them as their writing matures cus they're almost there. And look out when they figure it out.
@Rick Kivari I see that you could've collaborated in the sophomoric song writing in as much as you make your point by calling those who you disagree with names. All good. Great thing about music is that its subjective. You think its the pinnacle of song writing? Cool. I dont. You don't like my opinion? Tough shit. However, I won't get in to the gutter with name calling exchanges. Pointless.
Guys..guys.. guys!!!!! See... the Brand New and True absolute metal power!!!!! Please note there... Unleash the Archers, in the modern era... no doubt... the Best Band of World!!!! (Léo.. listen every day a pure Heavy Metal since 1983)
Him: "After this, there's another Canadian band." Me: "Oh, Annihilator!" Him: "Actually, Canadian artist. It's not a band, it's Canadian artist." Me: "Yes! Annihilator!" Him: "He's an absolute legend." Me: "Oh, it's Devin Townsend"
Saw them Live in Copenhagen last year (With Orden Ogan, another band you NEED to check out) and Rhapsody of Fire.. And truthfully, SUCH a shame not more people know of this amazing band Brittney Slayes is an amazing vocalist
I´m with you guys--> Absolutly Amazing, Epic, Absolutly beatiful, Incredible..... That´s it guys, welcome to the club... The Unleash the Archers... The Best of Best band of World!
An amazing Canadian band I recommend is Woods Of Ypres. They have 2 music videos "The Northern Cold" and "I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery" but I would also recommend checking out "Your Ontario Town Is A Burial Ground" and "A Meeting Place And Time". However You can't go wrong with any song you decide to listen to, but then again I'm a little bias because they are my favourite band. Sadly the vocalist of the band passed away in 2011.
It's funny the first few listens of the album this was the song I really loved. But as I listened to it the songs Apex and Earth and Ashes in my opinion are the best. Glad you guys enjoyed them! I just discovered them recently and I am addicted. I am not a huge fan of their older stuff though.
+Red Hunter I haven’t gone back to their earlier stuff but what I have checked out from this album is solid. I got the album so I am planning on listening to it shortly from beginning to end soon...
Keep me posted man would love to know your thoughts, especially on the last track. All the different tone and pace change with smooooooth transitions. That song is a masterpiece. Rock on dude
The singer's main influence for singing is Daniel Heiman, the singer of lost horizon... which I'm still waiting for a reaction to xD Do "Heart of Storm", "Sworn in the Metal Wind", "World Through my Fateless Eyes", "Pure" or "Cry of a Restless Soul", singing performance is better from left to right, speed and riffs are higher from right to left, take your pick :D
Respect the 'stache!!! Porn 'stache and epic double bass along with phenomonal guitars and the best vocals I've heard since Queensryche's "The Warning" album😊😊😊😊
Never heard this band before. They're not bad. Very classic metal sounding. I don't know if it's something I'd get into for myself, but if someone else is playing them than I'd dig it.
Funny thing is I discovered this band like 2 weeks ago and was surprised to find that you hadn't reacted to it yet :) If you are gonna do more cool Canadian bands why not some Protest the Hero for example "C'est La Vie", great guitarplaying, not your typical metal though.
do "Brothers of Metal" - Prophecy of Ragnarök or "Orden Ogan" - Come with me to the other side. Trust me! you like power metal? you're gonna love those 2 bands \m/
Well if you like Canadian metal, i of course need to recommend Crimson Shadows. Pretty much any songs of their i'm sure you will like but to name 2, Rise to power and Heroes among us.
do test your metal by unleash the archers another awesome tune with some amazing vocals !!!!!! she is one of the best power metal vocalists to come around in a long time they also do queen of the ryche the queensryche tune sounds just as great live !!!
Dude... a majority of Unleash the Archers songs falls under Power Metal not melodic death metal... which is kind of a contradictory label for a genre. It's either melodic or death metal. Definitely not enough musicians going with the Power Wail (falsetto's) these days which is a real shame.
Or...there is a mix of death metal with melodies which makes it melodic death metal? It's a very established genre for over 2 decades, nothing contradictory at all with the term melodic death metal.
If you want more awesome Canadian metal, then definitely check out Crimson Shadows ruclips.net/video/eJh7fSr0cRc/видео.html They were supposed to tour in the US a few years ago but were denied entry because of some stupid visa stuff, so I've yet to see them. Also, they now have a new harsh vocalist, but he's a beast (Napalm posted a live video last year you can look for to see him in action)

My s/o and I were the same, when The Awakening popped up on my channel a few days ago. First words out of his mouth when it was over? "See if there's more!" Best day in a long time.
Great reaction! While listening, and after!
The look on your faces when Brittney hit the opening note was priceless. I recently discovered this band myself. I've been missing out!
Britney is a REAL iron "maiden ".....that sounded cooler in my head........
but soooooo true
I thing with this stile more on a Hammerfall resemblens^^
nah thats Marta Gabriel from Crystal Viper.. They are Heavily inspired by them.

I’m so glad someone else discovered this band and got to hear how truly amazing they are. Great video and hope to see more UTA 🤘🏻
Her voice!!! WOW!!! So amazing!!!

Lol I had the same reaction to that little bass lick at the end of the guitar solo.
That section between the dueling guitars, galloping bass, and the bass lick at the end was possibly the best musicianship I've ever seen
Easily one of the greatest songs of all time!
Way beyond epic! :D
I have watched this video over 10 times! I love the channel and this incredible song that still blows my mind!.
Do Cleanse The Bloodlines Unleash The Archers!!!!!
Glad you’ve checked out these guys. Check out Tonight We Ride, General of the Dark Army, or Cleanse the Bloodlines. I love female vocalist led bands
So do we...
Huntress - Eight of Swords might be up your alley. If not, Battle Beast - Lionheart/Familiar Hell/Cyberspace would be awesome or Kobra and the Lotus - TriggerPulse/Specimen X would be great too!
General of the Dark Army by them is incredible. If you go with Battle Beast, I would suggest starting with enter the metal world. feckin' epic. and their guitarist looks like Nic Cage. hahaha
UtA, and particularly this song, are absolutely next level. Their last two albums - Abyss and Apex, just 100% blew my mind
Your reactions in the beginning, as the song was building...priceless. Mine was very much the same. Love the vid!
Taste your metal really punches your ears witb complete joy with those first vocal notes
Their pure bliss while rocking out makes me so happy. That's how i'm gonna be when I see them live in September!!!
I love that he switches the singles for doubles on the kick. Theyre extremely smooth too.
Favorite song on the album is Coward’s Way but the whole album is quite frankly phenomenal! Probably one of the best albums ever made
So awesome to see u guys together combining the new and old metalheads
NOTIFICATIONS LOCKED ON FOR THE NEXT UNLEASH THE ARCHERS VID! CHEERS!!!!
Ghost & The Agonist patches - awwwwwwesome, boy!

An amazing Canadian band I recommend is Woods Of Ypres. They have 2 music videos "The Northern Cold" and "I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery" but I would also recommend checking out "Your Ontario Town Is A Burial Ground" and "A Meeting Place And Time". However You can't go wrong with any song you decide to listen to, but then again I'm a little bias because they are my favourite band. Sadly the vocalist of the band passed away in 2011.
I actually just came to watch the head banging😂😂😂.(Great band, I just discovered them last week).
It's funny the first few listens of the album this was the song I really loved. But as I listened to it the songs Apex and Earth and Ashes in my opinion are the best. Glad you guys enjoyed them! I just discovered them recently and I am addicted. I am not a huge fan of their older stuff though.

Agreed! Apex and False Walls are the best tracks IMO but the rest are still superb....no fillers on the Apex album!
The singer's main influence for singing is Daniel Heiman, the singer of lost horizon... which I'm still waiting for a reaction to xD Do "Heart of Storm", "Sworn in the Metal Wind", "World Through my Fateless Eyes", "Pure" or "Cry of a Restless Soul", singing performance is better from left to right, speed and riffs are higher from right to left, take your pick :D
+blazejecar just like winter in Westeros this is also coming

Respect the 'stache!!! Porn 'stache and epic double bass along with phenomonal guitars and the best vocals I've heard since Queensryche's "The Warning" album😊😊😊😊
HOLY SHIT ! Based on your facial hair .... I know I'm late on this .... Don't even need to check the date lol this song was fucking epic .... too good
Hes face is like happy and confused at the same time.
Never heard this band before. They're not bad. Very classic metal sounding. I don't know if it's something I'd get into for myself, but if someone else is playing them than I'd dig it.
One of my favorite bands!!
Unleash the Archers - Time stands still is also a good one

Eu gostaria que vocês fizessem mais reacts do In Flames. As musicas mais novas de 2009 em diante.
Abraço! Gabriel de Sao Paulo aqui! Thanks!!!
You guys should check out Archspire-Human Murmuration guitar playthrough its my favourite Canadian Technical Death Metal band Canada represent 🇨🇦
Guys check out "Test Your Metal" from the album that came out right before this one.
The Vest is Sick Kid ! ; )
Funny thing is I discovered this band like 2 weeks ago and was surprised to find that you hadn't reacted to it yet :) If you are gonna do more cool Canadian bands why not some Protest the Hero for example "C'est La Vie", great guitarplaying, not your typical metal though.
+Ana198 they were in our radar since August but we kept pushing it aside.
Guys please react to Mors Principium Est!!
+Muhammad Noh is Reclaim the Sun a good choice?
Terrific band.... Check out "Dead winds of hope" from them
Anything from them is awesome! Do check it out! Love you guys!
Leader of the Titans or monster in me both are epic
My favorite song by them is We Are The Sleep
Awesome choice dudes Canada represent I am from Ottawa🇨🇦
Cheers eh!!!!
A&P-REACTS Cheers to you both eh!! 🤘😎🤘🇨🇦🖖
Hi guys, another canadian band to try is The Birthday Massacre. Listen to any song of Pins and Needles album.
PLEASE SIR REACT TO THE MATRIARCH ITS SO GOOD
By unleash the archers btw CHEERS
You guys are amazing. So's Brittney and the crew.
Check out Everlasting Lie by WormWitch!! They're also a Canadian band 🤘
I see that Ghost patch my boy!!!!!!
Hell yeah. Canadian metal \m/ you guys should really check out Annihilator. By the way they are actually from Victoria, B.C.
do "Brothers of Metal" - Prophecy of Ragnarök or "Orden Ogan" - Come with me to the other side. Trust me! you like power metal? you're gonna love those 2 bands \m/
Orden Ogans - F.E.V.E.R. is also super good! I just found brothers of metal the other day, and their Defenders of Valhalla was just Dynamite!
Well if you like Canadian metal, i of course need to recommend Crimson Shadows. Pretty much any songs of their i'm sure you will like but to name 2, Rise to power and Heroes among us.
do test your metal by unleash the archers another awesome tune with some amazing vocals !!!!!! she is one of the best power metal vocalists to come around in a long time they also do queen of the ryche the queensryche tune sounds just as great live !!!
Please guys do some more nightwish like slaying the dreamer or planet hell
Shaman - Fairy Tale
Her smile after 8:25 ... Possibly the only thing better than the song as a whole on this reaction.
Good song! My favorite Canadian band has and is Skullfist.
+p3 cobhc saw them opening for Annihilator last year. What an amazing band. We will be doing some of their videos for sure...
To bad the orginal singer dont sing anymore it seems just play guitar. I absolute love song "You´re gonna pay" & "Head of the pack"
+p3 cobhc he had some vocal issues, when I saw them he wasn’t singing anymore
Hey did you ever listen to the album on iTunes? I’d love to hear what you thought or see more videos on them!!!
I purchased the album. We plan on doing more of their videos since i don’t think besides this song my kid has heard anything else.
A&P-REACTS awesome!!! Can’t wait!!! 🤘🏻
A&P-REACTS cleanse the bloodlines.....- official video! 🤘
Can you react to Grave Digger's Excalibur(studio version)?
You have to do a reaction to every song on this album (Apex) - its sooooo good. Please don't download it until you have reacted to each song. Thanks!
Love them to me unleash the archers has a clear influence from Iron Maiden but with a female vocal. Am I the only one that feels this way?
+ricky vernon I think you are right, didn’t think about it until you mentioned it
I disagree-- when does Maiden EVER use double bass? Never -- I think they sound more like Helloween than Maiden
ricky vernon I agree
I hear old Queensrÿche in the vocals.
She lists iron maiden as a huge influence in a lot of her interviews
Please do Aetherian The rain please please
They are Amazing!
Great reaction and
LMAO the porn-stache - I thought the exact thing first time seeing them lol
Enforcer "Mesmerized By Fire"
Damn!! This band is playing in my town this weekend with Rhapsody and Orden Ogan, and I can’t go because I have to attend a wedding 😭😭😭😭
+Carlos González that sucks
People can get married whenever... Metal is NOW!
Get your priorities straight my man.
you should check out cleanse the bloodlines by unleash the archers
+Travis Costa we will be checking other songs from them. They are impressive.
how about you guys listen to kalmah if you like melodic death metal you will definitely like them i recommend evil in you as a song
+Mario Magdy we have done one of their videos and we really dogged it. We have to do Whispered again as well
If you're doing Kalmah you HAVE TO do The Blind Leader. One of the best solos in metal (It shits on Winter Madness solo in my opinion).
Holy shits, you have to try 'The groan of wind' by Kalmah!
Dude... a majority of Unleash the Archers songs falls under Power Metal not melodic death metal... which is kind of a contradictory label for a genre. It's either melodic or death metal. Definitely not enough musicians going with the Power Wail (falsetto's) these days which is a real shame.
Or...there is a mix of death metal with melodies which makes it melodic death metal? It's a very established genre for over 2 decades, nothing contradictory at all with the term melodic death metal.
I think from Victoria
Very good band.
If you want more awesome Canadian metal, then definitely check out Crimson Shadows ruclips.net/video/eJh7fSr0cRc/видео.html
They were supposed to tour in the US a few years ago but were denied entry because of some stupid visa stuff, so I've yet to see them. Also, they now have a new harsh vocalist, but he's a beast (Napalm posted a live video last year you can look for to see him in action)
+Jimmy Wise never heard of them we will have to check them out
or Time Stands Still!!
The kid just freaking embodies jack black in the pick of destiny!
Love this song it has a Dragon Force under tone
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that, lol.
BTW, both Apex and Matriarch have an Iron Maiden feel to them -- and I love it! 🤘😝🤘
TEST YOUR METAL!!
Rush is the best Canadian band...ever!
Brittney Slayes.
Yes...yes she does
the porn stache haha... good kid you've got there. positive, and confident in himself.
