Could you even begin to imagine how awesome a collaboration between Brittney and Floor would be. This must happen the metal gods demand it.
The earth would split from too much power haha
Have Tatiana Shmayluk and Johannes Eckerström join the mix and it will go *chef's kiss*
I completely agree, given that this is something I stated a while ago -- because IMO, Brittney is one of the few singers in Floor Jansen's league.
Along with Melody Cristea.
The metal gods demand? Y'all, Brittney and Floor *are* the metal gods.
If Dio and Bruce Dickinson had a daughter... it would be Brittney :)
Just saying, Scott, the drummer, is actually playing in footwear called "aqua socks." Basically, they are a lightweight, water sock with grips on the sole, so someone can grip the bottom of a pool for resistance exercises.
"Awakening" is the beginning.
"Afterlife" is the ending.
"The Wind that Shapes the Land" is ALL.....
Toe - Heel cycle pedal is how that madman gets that epic double kick bass. Its pure madness. Of course you'd expect no less in this band of Epic Canadian-ness.
Fact.
That LLRRLLRR pattern is so hard to maintain but he makes it look easy.
Love it when a band just produces good music and doesn't really care much about their appearance (Bundy Junky shirt reminded me of the typical grunge band outfits). I'm starting to much appreciate both band and Brittney's voice. Tracks are very tight and consistent, unlike most alt/proggy stuff I like, but maybe that's just why I like it. They seem to avoid unnecessary fluff and drama that usually ticks me off in acts of the heavier metal sub-genres. And Brittney is quite different from my other favourite Metal front ladies (Floor and Anneke), but very distinct. Nicely clear and powerful, and the timbre is so fitting to their music. Vocalists perform best in their own band, doing their own songs I think anyway, like generally speaking. Had some good laughs and memories again watching you guys watching them. :)
I discovered them with this song about 2 years ago, became a fan instantaneously, this is their opening song from their album Apex which has a theme, the songs of the album tell a story
Very cool- G
And the new album is a continuation of that story, or another chapter in it from what I gather. Basically that same character awakens in another time.
I too got started with Awakening and Apex being my first album. Awesome power metal!
I thought they were a generic metalcore band so ignored them, until one day this song randomly played while I was doing something else. So much time wasted
The socks are actually very thin, rubberized shoes.
He's got all the traction in the world, in fact, thats the reason he's not wearing shoes.
More feeling and more traction / control.
I love how you guys are autentic. Your hair, Ginger, kick ass. I would like to see a reaction to The Promise - Within Temptation, live from Black Symphony. Greetings from Brazil. 🇧🇷🤘
Thank you, Denise! 😁 - G
You guys are in a very small group of amazing reactors, that did General of the Dark Army. That was awesome as this one. Keep doing your stuff, guys.
Yep! Told you so in earlier comments - UTA is definitely a top canadian band. Fun reaction, guys!
More Unleash the Archers Please!
Ginger, you are so right. She is great and so down to earth. Great song and reaction.
"I love the chorus, it's so chipper!" Yes! Power metal is triumphant if it is any adjective!
Great reaction. But how can you resist to headbang? ^^ My absolute favourite song by them. Canadian glory.
I’d love to headbang, but I have a beck issue that limits my movement 😫 - G
@@MikeandGinger Oh, my bad. :( Hope it get better.
@@nietzscheente1271 no worries. I’m too stubborn to let it stop me 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Legend has it that Bruce Dickinson and Ronnie James Dio conjured a daughter of Metal. They bestowed upon her the name of Brittney Slayes, and that is what she does.
Another Canadian band that is great is 'Spiritbox', you should check out their song 'Blessed be'
Great choice guys👍🏻👍🏻They are a great band.
Ok....we have some AMAZING new videos for the Abyss album, but you need to check out Tonight We Ride as well. Brittney is completely "unleashed" in this song and you get her full range and power...nope you haven't heard it yet.....muhahahaha. To be honest...none of their songs disappoint. Faster Than Light is a blistering power metal tribute and Legacy is a more layered and Devin Townsend wall of sound kinda excellent song. Hope to see all of these in the future. So glad you guys are having fun with UtA so far!!! We appreciate it!!
This is a great song to get the pulse pumped up👍
So maybe it would be an idea to react to:
Northward - While love died. Pure sweaty old scool hard rock with one of the best guitarist in the world, plus the absolute best singer in this galaxy - yes - exactly.
And then:
Northward, Drifting Islands (no video) - but now 2 phenomenal singers from the same family...
Or - you could be safe and go for some Nightwish:
Elvenjig Elvenpath, Buenos Aires 2018
Or
The last of the Wild, Nightwish, Wacken 2013
You could of course take all 4, in that way you won't miss anything 😜
While Love Died is great fun - super tight, with that great 80s style guitar soloing
Listen to their song "Test your Metal", you wont be disappointed.
Great reaction. This song is from their album Apex which is a masterpiece from start to finish. Some songs to consider from that album are Shadow Guide, Cleanse the Bloodlines, Call me Immortal, and the title song Apex . Its a concept album, as is the follow on album Abyss which continues the story.
I'd add "The Matriarch" to that list! 🤘
Brittney Slayes does a great cover of The Cranberries 'Zombie'. As her names says, she slays it
Great song choice! Brittany lives in my city, so if I see her I’ll give her a hug from both of us. Deal? Lol! If you would like more recommendations, I nominate “Test your metal” for another song that sounds like it’s from the 80’s. Very Iron Maiden, Kiss-esk. Enjoy!
Music for the remodel! Believe it or not, she goes even higher in Tonight We Ride. Add to it a Mad Max type video. BTW, Britney and the band usually check out the reactions, so don't be surprised if you see a comment from one of them. She even does some promotion with reactors. I would love to hear you and Britney converse about all things Canadian ;).
Oh, Nelly! That would be wild 😜 - G
A
12:18 They're not socks, they're drum shoes. Some drummers like them, some don't.
Brittney Slays is very personable, She has been known to comment on reactions to these videos. She has gone so far as to appear with several reactors for interviews and to collaberate on reaction vids. Great reaction..
metal is not simple, if you not top of your game you don't get to play.
some drummers go barefoot.
enjoyed and liked
Nice one guys: you're the second react channel I watch to do this one in 24 hours!
It’s been our list for so long
So glad you guys got to another of their songs! I absolutely love these guys. While I am not a huge metal aficionado, I do love me some old metal, or new metal with old metal sound. These guys always make me think of Iron Maiden and Dio. Dio mostly for the fantasy stories in their lyrics which is what I loved in much of Dio's work!
If you are liking these guys, and you have liked Nightwish in the past, I am wondering if you might like another band I like that I listen to as much as those two in the last several years. They are kind of put into Prog Metal genre though they are just really metal to me and definitely more like modern day Dio, without RJD of course, and they definitely are influenced by him. Symphony X is the band. I would say Set the World on Fire or Serpents Kiss are available out there. Russel Allen has an incredible voice, if you get a chance to look up him singing with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and you can get an idea too. Such an incredible singer!
Love your reactions! Be well! :)
Ginger! BREATHE!! Great fun seeing your reactions :)
Just reach out to them - they are active on social media. Who knows what happens next (reaction with Britney?)
😅 I tagged her on Twitter 😜 - G
Metal Mike is back!!!.... :)
love it .. ty for this.. next one to go to would be Cleanse the Bloodlines :) great reaction .. look forward to the next!!!!! tc n be safe
Her vocals are amazing. I think she must have 2 sets of lungs.
At least! - G
UTA-thank you Canada!
Have you listen to Beast In Black. You must listen on Yannis vocals. Amazing singer and one hell of a band from Finland. BEAST IN BLACK Blind and frozen
Star Trek joke! Loved it :)
Those socks are specially designed for drummers. Ginger, I think you'll have to rub your head against those flowers to restore your glorious red locks! 😱
I’m afraid it’s mostly grey under there, now. I have to touch it up, but in the middle of renos, I get too dirty. I want to wait until I’m done.
@@MikeandGinger Most of what little hair I have - I'm bald, and now shave the rest off almost daily - is grey too. I just got rid of several months worth of beard as well. My niece says I look like 🎅🤦
@@ChrisPage68 maybe I should try that. 🤔
@@MikeandGinger Beard? Definitely! 😋
@@ChrisPage68 😜
Hi, guys; THERION, the symphonic metal masters, have just released a new song from their upcoming album, "Leviathan". I'm sure you will gonna love it. Hope you will react to it...
Greetings from Spain...
I thought Nightwish are symphonic metal masters, but never have heard of Therion so 🤷♂️
@@kalefu Well, Therion are the ones that invented the genre back in 1996 with the album "Theli". Even Nightwish members have recognized that without Therion they wouldn't be were they are now... Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Nightwish, as well as Epica, but Therion's music brings me to an even higher level (of course in music everybody likes what he likes). So my suggestion is that you listen to them, my friend. Greetings from Spain...
@@rafaelsmerdoufranke6157 Therion was one of the pioneering bands indeed, but not the only one and I wouldn't say they 'invented' the genre but rather that they provided some key stepstones to the genre. Just like The Gathering did, whose albums 'Mandylion' (1995) and 'Nighttime Birds' (1997) are considered as break-through influential in doom-goth-symphonic metal and derived genres. Several Mandylion tracks set a new tone for both gothic and symphonic metal styles. I think Therion and The Gathering had quite an equivalent influence on Tuomas and his Nightwish buddies tbh, each in their own way with Therion adding more symphonic sauce and The Gathering adding more goth/prog elements.
@@rafaelsmerdoufranke6157 I’ll definitely will give them a go, any songs in particular to start with ?
Greetings from UK
@@kalefu Well, I would start from the beginning, the album "Theli", it's a masterpiece, but if you want some songs, "To Megatherion" (first symphonic metal song released), "Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah", "Via Nocturna", "Wine of Aluqah", "Son of the sun", "Abraxas" and "Land of Canaan". It's just for a start, there much more amazing songs... Greetings from Madrid, my friend, and I hope you will enjoy this amazing band...
Love your hair Ginger
Thank you, Sara 😁 - G
Well if you bribe her with Sour Patch Kids or Haribo sweets, you might get a hug :-D
I don’t share my Sour Patch kids with anyone, as a rule. But she’s so darned cute, I would definitely share with her 😁 - G
if you love Brittney and haven't done "tonight we ride" you're missing the height of her power, is it the best song? idk maybe, but it's definitely got a couple notes from her that are just another level from the rest of her recordings
We did that one a few months ago! It was very epic - G
Guys you should react to the cover from NightWish to Pink Floyd - High Hopes.. I'm sure you know that song and you will get the difference..
Yes, finally 🥰
I don't know if you take suggestions, but I don't think you can go wrong with Postmodern Jukebox 's cover of "Dream On" by Aerosmith. I might get crucified for this, but I think it is better than the original. Great video, great reaction. Got a new subscriber out of me!
I absolutely agree! We’ve actually seen PMJ live, several times. We absolutely love them - G
IMMORTAL IS MORE THAN A NAME!
AWAKENING
To look up into the night's sky, to see the stars they are changed
To know a thousand years or more have passed, and I am the same
This mountain hollow that keeps me in a suffocating embrace
A prison and a safe haven, it's always been this way
Lo, a new master calls me to awakening, I know this one brings the end
Far out beyond the darkness I've been living in it's true, a whole new world awaits
Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night
Once again revitalized, to roam; to never die
My path begins with the new dawn; a voice is calling my name
It always starts as whispering then manifests to a scream
I'm drawn to the creature that wakes me, bound to them by the curse
My soul exists only to serve, a covenant of birth
Fear not the task ahead there's no escaping it, there's no good nor evil here
Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night
Once again revitalized, to roam; to never die
Come to me, awakening
Follow my voice, come to me
Fear not the task ahead there's no escaping it, there's no good nor evil here
Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night
Once again revitalized, to roam; to never
Lighting my way in the night
To roam; to never die
When will you react to
1) Unleash the Archers - Faster than light
2) Unleash the Archers - Cleanse the bloodlines
They’re on the list! 👍🏻 - G
@@MikeandGinger cool I'm kinda curious about your "Re-Action" 😀 👌🏻
You say breath you should listen to the ninth song on this album immortal😁
you wanna hear a voice that does not belong in that little lady.... try Jinjer ;-)
We like Jinjer! And you’re totally right - G
you know whats a good song... matt corby brother acoustic live on jjj radio.
have i met the person that worships Brittney almost as much as me?
Maybe - G
Was Ginger telling herself or Brittney to breathe? lol
Myself 🤣 I was holding my breath, listening to her 😂 - G
Fabulous reaction.
But tell me something, can somebody don't love Brittney?
I can’t imagine it - G
How do people like this? Her voice is literally altered so damn much. Great reaction though. :)
Gingers are hot! 🔥
Thank you 😁 - G
Doesn’t this video make you happy ant to play guitar? Like your reaction check out Abyss! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
We did that one already! 😁
