This is the beginning of a story that covers their last 2 albums, Apex and Abyss. They were both written as concept albums with the story line in mind, but each has it's own overall distinct vibe. They've done some cool covers also, with Sunglasses At Night being one of my favorite covers ever. Brittney's voice just works so well for the song. I can't help but smile when I listen to it.
If you have not heard him before. Definitely check out Devin Townsend. “Kingdom” on emg tv is a good first one. He is a rabbit hole much like little big. But metal.
They are all fellow Twichers as well!!! All super cool people!!! You should hook up with them sometime!! Their entire music catalog is pure gold! They just won the Jeuno here in Canada for best metal album! Definitely worth a deep dive!!!!
Their album 'Apex' that starts with this song, is probably my #1 played album overall. Every time, I cannot help but head-bang when I listen to it. 'Apex' and 'Abyss' are superb albums that must be heard.
I never was into that classic/power metal thing a lot, just listened and am listening to it sometimes in a while... but this band is really exceptional, and when I have the urge to listen to pure metal, this song is definitely number one choice.
@RichoPOV: I'll put it this way: Unleash the Archers is a band that should be getting _heavy_ play on US rock and metal radio stations -- but they _don't, despite winning their Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for 2020 Metal Album of the Year, for the album "Abyss." Funny thing about Abyss is? The entire album was made without a bassist, bro. And it was a running joke for the longest time that Unleash the Archers were victims of the "Curse of the Missing Bassist," lol. I'm happy to report that in the last few months, the band now does have a full-time bassist in Nick Miller, who is not the bassist shown here, Niko. But check out some of these other fine musical tracks by Unleash the Archers: 1) Abyss 2) Soulbound 3) The Wind That Shapes The Land 4) Cleanse the Bloodlines 5) Tonight We Ride 6) The Matriarch 7) Ten Thousand Against One 8) Time Stands Still 9) Cover of Queen of the Reich 10) Northwest Passage
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
so the vocalist of the band is featured in the new album from ayreon creators other project star one but ayreon is also worth checking out youd love it
Time to go down the Archer Rabbit Hole. I love spreading this band like wildfire. I've seen this band live 3 times and met them all 3 times; they are the nicest people in Canada 🇨🇦.
Glad you got to UTA my dude! One of my absolute favourite bands for the last couple years. Give Abyss, Soulbound or The Wind that Shapes the Land a look when you can!
I've watched this video so many times and I still love every second of it. They're a great fun band to get into, Britney has been known to watch reactions and has even appeared with some of them. I remember her watching Faster Than Light with one of them and it was wonderful. Basically anything by them is magnificent, my personal favourites are: Abyss, for epic heavy with a bizarre video; their incredible cover of Northwest Passage which is breathtaking and Legacy for a slightly different feel with some incredible lyrics and a socially distanced walk through a Canadian city (Vancouver I believe, but I could be wrong) .
was wondering when you would get to this, this is the song that got me falling down the reaction channel rabbit hole. Great song from a great band! Bass player has a crazy right hand technique, and the drummer kills that tiny little drum set. Best power metal guitars I have heard in a long time, and Brittney Slayes is well, shit you listened to the song....amazing
I'm gonna be honest every time I hear anything by Unleash the Archers all I can think of is how Brittney could fill in at a Maiden gig and no one would even be upset about it - this is coming from someone who's been a fan for 35 years. And when I say Maiden the same goes for Helloween, Queensrÿche, Angra, or any other heavily vocal centric out there. Just too good.
This is one of those songs that take you on a journey that you have to cool down from after. Other ones for me are Sons of winter and stars by wintersun and Into the Hellfire by Lorna Shore.
They are also on Twitch and have an Official discord server. Good people makeing great music. A suggestion for the next song to check out would be Cleanse the Bloodlines
Great video Been loving your channel.... just a fun note... there's a after show video of Britney singing "Queen of the Riech" in a karaoke bar... sadly it's a cell phone capture but she is just having so much fun it's a blast to watch
After seeing a reaction to this song I was absolutely in love. Then I heard that this is the first song of a two album story of "The Immortal" so I promptly ordered both albums on vinyl and when they arrived I sat down with some nice sipping rum in one hand and the lyrics sheet in the other and listened to both albums back to back following along with the story. Best thing I ever did. Would highly recommend!
Richo and Scott : Brothers with different Mustache Gene Contributors (damn, I almost insulted two mothers there) Other UTA songs : Tonight We Ride, Legacy, Apex, Abyss,
You gotta do more UTA, all their songs are incredible! Old stuff is great, new stuff is great, everything is epic! They are all masters of their field. Andrew and Grant are some of the best guitar players i have ever heard.. Scott is a super talent on drums, and Brittney have the most powerful vocals in the history! (more or less) Also Niko on bass is super insane, but he is not with the band anymore.
Gotta recommend another german metal band! They're called "Annisokay" and in my opinion the two songs that really stand out are "Like A Parasite" and "STFU"! Filmclip to Like A Parasite is amazingly well done as well, except you dislike bugs, scorpions etc :D Awesome reaction as always Richo!
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens heavy metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot diehard fans like me😁. The fans called Wolfpack. The song is "Set the world on fire" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
Hey, greetings from germany. There is a new song with Ghostkid. I love it, it's also from a band I did not know but the electonics are great 😁. Maby it's interasting for you. Kayzo & Ghostkid The Sickness See you 🤘❤️
One of the best damn bands so few have ever heard of.
There is a video of Britney in karaoke bar doing Queen of the Reich.....right after having just performed a concert in Glasgow.
Everytime I hear this sing, I am fascinated how short this song feels, despite being a 7min song
Unleash the Archers just won the Juno award for best metal/hard rock band of the year in 2021 (I think the award was for the 2020 year).
This is the beginning of a story that covers their last 2 albums, Apex and Abyss. They were both written as concept albums with the story line in mind, but each has it's own overall distinct vibe. They've done some cool covers also, with Sunglasses At Night being one of my favorite covers ever. Brittney's voice just works so well for the song. I can't help but smile when I listen to it.
I hope that you deep dive everything Unleash the Archers!!! Love to see it!!!
If you have not heard him before. Definitely check out Devin Townsend. “Kingdom” on emg tv is a good first one.

They are all fellow Twichers as well!!! All super cool people!!! You should hook up with them sometime!! Their entire music catalog is pure gold! They just won the Jeuno here in Canada for best metal album! Definitely worth a deep dive!!!!
Imo they're the perfect metal band, lyrically, vocally, and instrumentals. And they are amazing live. All cool people
brit has the voice of a goddess
Abyss, faster than light, soulbound, cleanse the bloodlines... Many more AMAZING songs
Their album 'Apex' that starts with this song, is probably my #1 played album overall. Every time, I cannot help but head-bang when I listen to it. 'Apex' and 'Abyss' are superb albums that must be heard.

The smile was out of true passion. Never saw such an honest smile by Rich :D
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 Richo smiles troughout the entire thing, you know its good.
Saw this band live in seattle at the end of last year! They were AMAZING.
Tonight we ride by unleash the archers!!!!
Also check out her slaying Queensryche - Queen Of The Reich at a Karaoke bar.
But for their original songs check out Tonight We Ride
Ah, someone else discovers that Canadians can, indeed, make power metal, and some of the best in the world at that :D
You want to get to up and go in the morning? Check out Faster than Light, not only is that song insane the music video is pretty fun
so the vocalist of the band is featured in the new album from ayreon creators other project star one but ayreon is also worth checking out youd love it
"General of the Dark Army" by them
If one doesnt fall in love with Brittney slayes.. why are they even living at all?
Without this video/react, i would never have found your channel. You sir just earned a subscriber. They are a great band!
Time to go down the Archer Rabbit Hole. I love spreading this band like wildfire. I've seen this band live 3 times and met them all 3 times; they are the nicest people in Canada 🇨🇦.
Glad you got to UTA my dude! One of my absolute favourite bands for the last couple years. Give Abyss, Soulbound or The Wind that Shapes the Land a look when you can!

Epic 'stache, great voice, wonderful attitude. You sir are fun to watch.

UTA rock and several of the members stream on twitch too. They're a blast live!
Those old school guitar riffs are stealing the 80s back!!! Bass player is pretty damn good. It's like Dragon Force Iron Priest!!!
Great video Been loving your channel.... just a fun note... there's a after show video of Britney singing "Queen of the Riech" in a karaoke bar... sadly it's a cell phone capture but she is just having so much fun it's a blast to watch
