⏩Video Question: What is the next live show you are going to see??
For live content catch me on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony
October 18 here in Mesa, Arizona I'll be seeing attack attack and electric callboy
Slipknot. No final date though, but I don't have tickets for anything else so I guess that's it😅
I just remembered this Friday I am going to The Nash in downtown Phoenix with a roommate for a jazz show.
Possibly Arch Enemy here in Birmingham, UK, in October.
Thank You Scientist in Grand Rapids, MI 6/22. I'm not saying, I'm just saying - their live solar sesh performance of FXMLDR would make for a dope reaction vid:

Brittney Slayes is one of the most talented vocalists in modern history. Her range and talent is absurd.
Rewind as much as you want! The whole point is to get your perspective and opinion. People need to hear things multiple times to really separate and understand them. If viewers want to hear the song uninterrupted then they can click the link that you provided. If they don't like it then they aren't gonna be repeat viewers or subscribers anyways, so let their cries fall on deaf ears.
Thank you. I'll never understand the comments I get. This is HOW I react.
Came to say the same thing, couldn't agree more! Especially from a reactor that is providing more technical analysis of a piece of music, in a piece like this it's impossible to catch every nuance as it flies by the first time.
Yeah the only thing I don't like is reactors talking over stuff, and not rewinding. Rewind as much as you want dude, that's what it's all about.
One does not simply pause a metal solo mid-way tho.
@@DrumRollTonyReacts All I ever ask is that if you interrupt a guitar solo you just rewind it to listen to it from the start. Other than that, it's a reaction channel. You're supposed to occasionally stop and make a point about something. People are nuts.
If it's not already on your list, can I suggest Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down. It's a masterclass in music production, plus an awesome video, which I think you will appreciate as a music director yourself.
Support the suggestion! Would be an awesome reaction!
This is the one. The king of the rabbit holes.
Even if not as a reaction, I highly recommend listening to the whole album in order, it's a fantastic story.
I was legit addicted to apex for months. I would listen to it from beginning to end on loop, and nothing else. Then did the same for abyss.
They're badass live, too,they put on one hell of a show and they're all suuuuper nice humble musicians.
They really are. When I ordered some patches from them before they got signed they sent me a bunch of stickers for free and Brittany wrote me a note thanking me for supporting the band and even emailed me. When I got the patch sewn on I sent her the pic and a thank you and she responded saying she thought it was super awesome having her bands patch up there with all the other ones I had. I’ll never forget that. Super happy that they are getting big. They deserve it.
Grant Truesdall is the guitarist you recognize from twitch
This may make you want to drive fast, "Tonight We Ride", will make you want to slowly, and deliberately break things and steal other peoples stuff.
The bass technique is based off of banjo picking from what I remember (probably wrong).
LMAO 👀 sounds like I need to hear that one
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Yes. You really do.
perfect description, lol. Off to listen and break stuff, thanks i couldn't figure out what to do tonight!
one of the most grossly underrated bands of this era
Super happy that you spent a moment on the bass moment at 9:45 or so. Other reactors don't give it that love, and it's impressive, particularly given the extra finger strength that a good bass player needs. Thanks! Love the channel!
When I first discovered these guys (I think it was Charismatic Voice reaction to this song) I was instantly blown away. Then I heard this album was a concept album telling an epic story of The Immortal and that the follow up album that continued the story was just about to release so I bought both on vinyl and avoiding listening to any more songs from those albums until I could sit down with a glass of nice rum in one hand and the lyrics sheet in the other and listening to both albums back to back following along with the story. Best decision I've made in a long time 😁👍
Yes to the rum
Good work man dude - I've been with Unleash since The Dawn of Ages - their back catalog is worth it
The good thing about new vinyl today that's coming out is that the quality is so much better than the c*** you used to buy at CALDOR store or other. I suppose you have already procured, Decades ago, Rick Wakeman's album JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH , Where the London symphonic orchestra accompanied him in his production. But since it was narrated as well between musical pieces, And it's an old old story, Alyrics she is not even necessary. Just close your eyes and imagine the Visuals.
If you liked that, you should have a look at Blind Guardian. They are power metalin' since 1984 and "Mirror, Mirror" is one of the most archetypical power metal songs ever. Also great is their Wacken double feature of "The Bards Song" and "Valhalla".
The members of UtA are all very great in both the technicalities of playing their instruments and playing very "musically" and creative as well. Throw in the amazing vocals and storytelling by Brittney, and you've got a combination that's hard to beat. The latest two UtA albums, Apex and Abyss, tell an epic story over the course of the two albums. Awakening is the first track from Apex and thus just the beginning of two great albums.
There are so many great tracks from those two albums and their earlier ones. If you dive into the Unleash the Archers rabbit hole, you won't regret it. I'd suggest checking out Tonight We Ride or Cleanse the Bloodlines next.
I barely found them yesterday and I couldn’t believe I hadn’t heard of them before. They’re amazing 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Yesss! UTA is the bessst!
You don't miss a thing brother. Watched all your reactions. Keep it up bud! Learning a ton.
Apparently, the technique that the bass player is using in this video is one that is heavily employed by Gary Willis from Tribal Tech. I've been meaning to learn it for a while because it looks like a crazy efficient way to get speed.
As others have probably said, this is the opening track to their 2017 album 'Apex'. Easily the best power metal album of that year, IMO. Perhaps in all of the metal genres combined? Maybe that's an argument for another day, lol.
They followed it up with 'Abyss' in 2020, and the two double albums together form a 4 LP metal music epic fantasy adventure.
Very bold of such a young band to record a double concept album, but then to follow it up with a part 2. But also absolutely nail both albums from front to back. Truly unique.
Both were recorded by Jacob Hansen in the Netherlands and they sound *fantastic*.
I LOVED Apex and even did a project in college about it, but Abyss was a big miss for me. The synths didn't fill the glaring gap left by the the bassist leaving
I really love musicians who can really play instruments God bless
They have a new bassist, Nick Miller, and he and both guitarists stream on twitch a lot. They are all amazing artists who push themselves constantly, every one of them has been an inspiration in my life, I can't wait for their new album and tour next year!
Just a heads up, their 2 latest albums Apex(2017) and Abyss(2020) are concepts connected by one single storyline (20 chapters, 10 per album) about an Immortal being awakened(chapter 1 Awakening) by an evil woman The Matriarch(chapter 3) By a covenant of birth, the Immortal must do the bidding of whomever awakens him. On the first album, The Matriarch awakens him from a 1000 year sleep in his mountain hollow, and orders the Immortal to find her 4 sons, so she can kill them in a blood ritual so she can gain immortality for herself(chapter 4) and covers the Immortal's encounter with each son(chapters 5-8). Then the Immortal returns back to his mountain to sleep again(chapter 10).
On the second album, The Immortal finds himself awoken on spaceship, confused as to why he's there. He ends up teaming up with the grandson of The Matriarch, and heads into battle against The Matriarch.
Both albums are amazing, and the album Abyss won the Juno's (Canadian music awards) for the best 2020 Hard Rock/Metal album of the year. The first two indie albums and first studio album are awesome as well, but they really picked up the production and quality on their last two albums.
Subbed from Toronto 🤘🇨🇦
I think I may be the one who turned you on to this. Try "Abyss" a newer song, and "Cleanse The Bloodlines" an older one, as well as "Northwest Passage" a folk song turned rock anthem. TY so much for the reaction. Loving your breakdowns and your enjoyment.
Quite sure I've also asked him to check them out :-P In any case while I also love Northwest Passage and Abyss, I think he might enjoy Tonight we Ride or Faster Than Light first.
@@vhaarr could be, I talk about them so much. Love both of those as well, "Tonight We Ride" is a little more vocal oriented, and him being more a guitar and drum guy..... You really CAN NOT go wrong with ANY of their songs.
I found this band because the lead singer did a karaoke of Queen of the Ryche.... after doing a 2 hour show.
As a bass player myself I'm pretty sure I did the same nod of approval at the end of the solo the first time I heard this
there is a fan shot video (with a phone) on You Tube; after doing a show in Edinburgh, Scotland, Britney wound up in a karaoke bar, getting on their stage and doing "Queen of the Reich" while about half in the bag.....her voice is 1/4 Ronnie James Dio, 1/4 Bruce Dickenson, 1/4 Ian Gillian, and 1/4 Geoff Tate
I didn't know this people! thanks for bringing so great music ❤️
Power metal has single handly kept old school metal alive and well I bounce all over the place in metal but power metal is definitely where I call home in the metal world
The whole band is great! Check out Abyss and/or Soulbound for more greatness, some really cool drum fills. Or if you want a different flavor from them, try Legacy (which is a kind of a musical homage to fellow Canadian Devin Townsend)
One of the things I love most about a live concert is actually watching musicians play. Depending how hood they are, it just fascinates me. All bands should do a video like this at least once. That being said, the close ups of the bassist's left hand on the neck, am I the only one that is reminded of the face huggers from Alien?
@DrumRoll Tony Reacts: If you want a song or two to make you want to drive fast, how about a little bit of Sabaton? Hailing from Sweden, Sabaton sings about military history. They're the history teacher you didn't know you needed! Here are my Top 5 recommendations:
1) Primo Victoria. About D-Day, which took place on 6 June 1944.
2) Defense of Moscow. This took place over a period of months during Operation Barbarossa in 1941, and is about how the Russian Army stopped the advance of Army Group Center of the Wehrmacht, Panzer divisions, and Luftwaffe from reaching Moscow. The Russian Army stopped the German Army 15 miles (24.14 km) from Moscow.
3) Night Witches, Animated Story Video feat. YarnHub. This song is about the Russian Air Force's 588th Night Bombing Regiment, an all-woman bomber unit, that fought on the Eastern Front in World War II.
4) 40:1. This song is about the Polish Army, and how it stopped the German advance during the initial blitzkrieg during the first 10 days of World War II in September, 1939.
5) Ghost Division. This song is about the 7th Panzer Division, who was led by Erwin Rommel, a colonel at the time of the blitzkrieg into the Low Countries in 1940 (the Low Countries are the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and Luxembourg). Rommel would later fight in North Africa and earn the nickname of "The Desert Fox," when he was the general in charge of the Afrika Korps. in North Africa.
It should be said that Sabaton does not take sides in the history they tell, as they are merely telling stories about the men who fought in the wars of the past.
Give 'em a chance -- I know you won't regret it!
I’m glad you reacted to this. I told it was musicians having fun.
This is one of my favorite songs but UTA. Such drive! Don't listen to this in your car. You won't be able to pay the speeding ticket! Tony, try their song Tonight We Ride. You will love it.
You've got a thumbs up, because you appreciate the hymn of my queen of the Reich an their clan of immortal musician angels 🙏🏻🤘🏻🎸
🤟
"Tonight we ride"
They are an AMAZING band to see live!!
This is the song that I found them on and since then I've been absolutely engulfed by them that I listen to every album they've put out at least once a day when I'm at work.
Hell ya, Unleash the Archers are a fantastic band!
These guys are all so relaxed I bet they could playa a 4 hour show no problem.
Love this song and this band, they are all pretty much anthems like that (power metal and all). Really enjoyed your breakdowns and reactions to this one! Especially hearing about the picking strategy on the bass, not something I would've noticed.
Video question: I have a two year old and I'm about to give birth again, so live shows are pretty much out for awhile (especially with COVID, but hopefully we can at least get the two year old vaccinated soon!). Brandi Carlile seems to be coming to Red Rocks about once a year (mountainous outdoor amphitheater near Denver, it's the most amazing venue ever), so if she's still doing that in a few years, that may be one of my first live shows to get back into it. Also if Jinjer or Nightwish is touring North America again, would love to catch them (I had tickets for Jinjer in 2020, which obviously got cancelled with the pandemic). Other artists at the top of my list would be Ayla Nereo, Wardruna, AURORA, Heilung, and Lana Del Rey. (I have eclectic tastes lol)
look at how that drummer does the doublekick ....its insane and unortodox.....2 beats on each ??? never seen that before....holy crap
They are so damn good.
Unleashed the Archers have a new album coming out Phantoma which is a concept album like many of thiers and 2 songs are already out, one has a pretty sick music video with it already.
Oh sweet
Really excellent reaction, sir. So now, I know it's a cliche move, but it's something I really enjoy, and with your more structured, somewhat symphonic musical background, it is an absolutely " like a glove " fit for you to check out some of Arjen Lucassen's musical projects. He is a prog composer/musician that writes these incredible scores/symphonies/operas ( you can decide on their title yourself when you listen ) and then assembles top shelf players and vocalists to record the material. Ayreon is his more established project and is just phenomenal, with concept albums, ten or fifteen minute long tracks, multiple time signatures, everything one loves in progressive rock music. To hear more of Brittany Slays ( Hayes ) from U.T.A., check out the latest effort from his other major project, Star One. I promise you will not regret your time. Both bands represent absolute top shelf engineering and production and are honestly just a joy to listen to and watch. Hope you will give Arjen and his work a chance...thanks for listening.
ngl the main reason i clicked the vid was for your reaction to the little bass doodle at the end of the solos. was not disappointed.

Great Musicianship = when you can play something this fast and sometimes complex while looking so relaxed you're bored.
ever since the first time I watched this video I been working on that right hand technique Nico uses in the video on bass, and after a while it becomes super natural feeling and way easier on my hand. For this kind of music anyways, faster more technical pieces, it does not work for everything, but its been a great tool for plenty of situations
HEY !!!! I know these guys ... like personally ... I'm good friends with an Ex - Guitarist of theirs. Yes I live in Victoria. Been in the local metal scene here for 30 + years !!!!!
MAN! she has some Pipes!!!
There's a video on RUclips of her after a gig doing karaoke, singing Queen of the Reich (of Queensryche, obvs). It is pretty amazing, especially considering she just sang a whole concert set.
@@SarahRichardsGraba she also does a rendition of Brindisi on Power Metal Opera Battles that's impressive in a different way.
Just found your channel and subscribed! As a musician myself, I am also a big advocate of a proficient musician with a relaxed demeanor.
I think you might really appreciate any of the Meinl sessions with John Longstreth, if that is the case. A total beast on the kit and looks like he's reading the newspaper throughout.
Funny you mention jazz with the bass player, as I'm pretty sure he was/is now a jazz bassist after leaving the band. Can't remember my source, but if anyone remembers...
I'm not a musician, nor a scientist...but you help me understand things I've never understood before. Thank you!
Much Love to you and Ukraine
🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
You should give tonight we ride and/or cleanse the bloodlines a try.
I came to see them I'm subscribing because I like the way you reacted and what you said because I really appreciate the musicianship of this particular band and song!
✌❤T.NoBoDY
Yeah. I loved your reaction to UTA! Rock on!
Your welcome Tony. I knew you would like this group.
Thus far you're one of at least 3 people taking credit for introducing him to this group. I'm one of the other 2 :-P
Grant the guitarist does a lot of twitch.
Ok I was like wait a second
Gives me those old school symphonic metal vibes, like Symphony X or Sonata Arctica. I like it, very cool
These guys do an awesome cover of North West Passage which I highly suggest to check out.
LMFAO!!! DUDE!!!! I MOMENT I saw your stank face, I laughed my ass off, stopped the video, subscribed; and here I am.... Going back to the video know... MOAR stank face type videos! Please and thank you. A public service message from your stoned Army Infantry friend.
🤟🍻🍻🍻
AWESOME BAND
That chorus is ginormous.
This is a guitar players dream...or maybe even nightmare.😵 Makes me want to lock myself in a room with a metronome and practice for a year straight. 😕
Britney is my hero in any Game ! (I follow her on twich ;))
I agree with the comments to check out the full Apex and Abyss albums. The storyline is intriguing and heightens the music, in my humble opinion.
Especially my personal favorite track..."Cleanse The Bloodlines"
There is a bass playthrough of their song Cleanse the Bloodlines. That really shows Niko's skills on the bass. Unfortunately he left the band a few years ago.
He left? Dang. Where is he now?
Absolutely love your reactions Tony🤘
Apex, the final track on this album is a banger, you have to listen to it🤘🔥
If anything this song is more technical then much of their other material, it is all just as metal, but this band is more creative and fluid then 99% of others. One of the best ever.
Sweet.
I like your content and perspective so much I actually forgot to subscribe. Lol that's a first. I think I watched about 6 or 7 videos and I was like oh ish I need to sub lol.
Lol lol welcome in 🤟
Yeah then one of them does stream. I follow him as well.
Amazing cover! You gotta do a cover of October Ends Play Time. You'd sound so good doing this song 🔥
UTA, Polyphia, and Epica are my favorite bands. All of them are next level. Not a single UTA song that I don't love
Did you react to Ne Obliviscaris - And plague flowers the Caleidoscope? Or Wintersun - Songs of Winter and Stars? Or Orbit Culture - Nija? If not...I would love your insights there...
IMMORTAL IS MORE THAN A NAME!
AWAKENING (2017)
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
Love the dedication man ! UTA is F-ing amazing !!!
Normally I go with live performances but if you want to dig deeper into UTA I suggest the official videos of "Time Stands Still" & "Tonight We Ride".
UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Tonight We Ride. Reaction would be awesome.
Any reactor that sits down and listens to UtA, truly enjoys, and analyzes the music... Gets a sub and like from me. Please go sit down and listen to these concept albums (Apex followed by Abyss). They tell the story of the Immortal being awakened by the Matriarch and their future epic clash! Please react to more UtA. You can rewind as much as you want! Have at it! Glad to have found your channel!
Please react to "Epica - Consign to Oblivion - Live at the Zenith". You'll be blown away!
Great reaction as always. I would really like to hear you on earthborn evolution by beyond creation. The musicianship is simply awsome.
Thanks in advance
Don't know if someone else told you, but they all stream on twitch.
As been said nikko whitworth the bassist in this video is no longer with them. But he does have his own RUclips channel and has several play throughs of various uta songs. I recommend his play through of cleanse the bloodlines. It really shows his incredible ability with the bass
You don't have to react to it, but do yourself a favor and give the album a listen. The first time I listened was easily the most fun I had listening to a metal album in a very long time.
You should check out "Sons of winter and stars" by WIntersun and get ready t be bown away.
Please, do Battle Beast: Blind and frozen! Or any other song of them will do. Arch enemy: Handshake with hell. It is great too!
If you want more anthems, check out Wintersun. Sons of winter and stars would be my suggestion.
Freakin good reaction, please do "UtA - Tonight We Ride" next. Stay safe and greetz from Germany
🤟🎶🥰
Stoping at the best part
Britney Slayes .....says it all ;)
Hey hey PNW represent!
Let's goo!
React to Consign to Oblivion by Epica!!!
The entire band is crazy talented. And that wasn't even half of Brittney's capabilities. Tonight We Ride should be next, IMO.
If you want to learn the techniques, you probably already have the tools. I see a classical guitar behind you. Most of his picking is transitioning the classical finger work to the bass. Much of classical music on your lower strings translates pretty much directly to playing bass.
If you think this track was good, go further into the album to tracks like The Matriarch, Cleanse the Bloodlines, 10,000 Against 1, or Apex.
You should try paledusk a japanese band
Jinjer that you should check out
JINJER - Perennial (Bass Playthrough)
JINJER - Judgement (& Punishment) - Tatiana Shmayluk - One Take Vocal Performance
JINJER - Perennial Live Drum Playthrough
and now, please, react to Wintersun-Sons of winter and stars. Trast me, you will be impressed.
you can do everything except pause during a solo)
Lol ok 👍
Also, not to distract you from Jinjer and Band-Maid as they are my 2 favorite bands right now but you should check out “Dissension” by Nemophila. I think you will be blown away yet again.
