At 9:35 your comments about Brittney 'She's like a power metal power ranger, using her vocals to fight all the bad in the world.' Golden, Chase my friend, pure gold! 😀
Funny, because he couldn’t know that Brit is fighting the Matriarch later with her Voice lol
Lol. I totally locked on to this comment also. Fuckin’ great.
😂👌🙏
Kudos to his comment.
@@danielsun8244 I'm pretty sure that's The Immortal. They are in the dream world of Apex and they come across The Immortal, who one-shots them.
"power metal power ranger" what a phrase lol
I don't think the title "power metal power ranger" can go to anyone else than Gloryhammer or Grail Knights though!
Little known fact about their bassists, they must be sacrificed every album or two to keep her “Power Metal Power Ranger” voice so pure.
Guitarist gets sucked into the wall. Chase thinking (probably), "So you're saying there's an opening for a ginger guitarist... hmmm...."
😂😂😂🙏
She is a singing heroine.😁👍
"Like a superhero..." I couldn't think of a better description
She's just remarkable.
This guy breaks it down!!!
Heeeey, nice one Anuhar.
This band makes me so happy. I can`t find the right words.
The speed by which you pick up the syncopation on the snare on your first listen is, frankly, amazing. Even as a drummer, I didn't notice that on the first play-through! I learn so much more about music every time I watch your videos, Chase. Thank you for continuing to make them!
(and for continuing to do Unleash the Archers videos!)
I appreciate you. I think I got lucky cause he did a similar thing in Awakening. I can't stop doing these guys. They're remarkable.
Me: I mean, it can't possibly be better than Apex, you can't be the story of-
UtA: "Immortal is more than a naaa-AAAMME!!!!!
Me: ....nevermind.
I saw an interview with Britt where the interviewer called her a "dark soprano". Seems a perfect description: even on her highest notes, it's not "bright". Britt also said that writing was a great way to get to know your range and what works for you: you should write for your own voice/style. I think that's much of what contributes to her complete awesomeness.
I like this description.
I wonder if perhaps a weekly dive through the whole "Apex" album leading up to the release of "Abyss" is in order? Follow the story, follow the concept, prepare for the continuation of that story in "Abyss:?
This would be awesome! Apex is probably my favorite power metal album at the moment.
Great idea! I'd support that.
Top notch storytelling, no 2 songs have the same feel.
Yes! Preferably in order, so we get the whole story start to finish.
Absolutely! There are some "hidden" gems in Apex, like False Walls and Apex itself.
Where's the bassist? They're waiting for you to audition, Chase. They need another ginger in the family. 😆
IM IN!!!!!
Ginger Battles ROCK!!!! There is ROCK in your future!!!
😂🙏
Chase - one of your best reaction videos, don't know how many times I have listened to it... Good Job...
I loved Reacting to this song. Glad you're enjoying it too
The continue of "Awakening"
Want to be further “mind blown” ? React to Brittney singing Queensreich’s “Queen if the Reich” at a karaoke bar....BOOM!!!
It was in Edinburgh, Scotland and it was so incredible to be there. IT was also after they had just played a gig there too so i imagine she must have been tired! although you would never know it
It's time for Chase to discover Ayreon - The Day The World Breaks Down.
Yes, this!
Agreed wholeheartedly!
‘Abyss’ already on loop on the phone! Brittney definitely’Slayes’. UTA already my new favorite band. Drop the mic.
Her vocal technique is unmatched in power and range in any metal genre I can think of. Love the mezzo-soprano. Crushing it.
No arguments here.
Brittney is another of those singers who is ridiculously talented at work, but completely down-to-earth offstage. She's a lovely, slightly dorky woman with an infectious laugh.
"She's like a power metal power ranger"
I agree. Don't forget those words.
Hi, Chase. I am 38 years old. I love Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal is my life :). I just want to thank you for your reactions to Unleash The Archers. Your comments is great. I like your work. Keep up the great work :-).
Thank you, Jan. Really appreciate it.
@@ChaseCarneson I appreciate your work. Respect to you :).
That's what I say about Brittney, SHE DOESN'T FUCKING MISS! Never underdelivers or miss the bull's eye!
She can't miss. It's not possible.
Brittney really is amazing. It's not only that she has incredible power and range but the vocal lines she does are just so good. Every song she sings, the melodies are so complimentary to the instruments and vice-versa.
I'll be waiting for drum battle between UtA's Scott Buchanan and Gee Anzalone of DF.
Britt reminds me of Doro. Yeah they sound different, but the energy and deliverance like bruh...she's got power in her voice.
Brittney Slays. Yes she does.
I only just found these guys a couple of months ago and I'm hooked. I have this album on the way and I will be jamming in my car everywhere.
Britney can open a portal into the space/time continuum with her voice.
This is a certified fact!
I feel like you Chase, at the moment I listen day and night to here music and it's never getting boring, I'm really addicted to Brittney's to reset my mind and all the dump in my brain.
I'm totally fall in love with this band and my Mistress PMPR 🙏🏻
Man, love your reaction, just found your channel today. I love when UA-cam recommend great stuff.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for supporting.
If u listen to the first track ending, you get the synth transition...WAKING DREAMS
I wish reactors knew to react to BOTH, in same videi.... run together.... to me, I get images of STYX, and then JOYRNEY...
This guy knows his music. Great review. Unleash The Archers are the best rock band in the world right now. Can't wait to see them live one day.
Appreciate the kind words and support.
Chase: shes a super hero
Me: she's practically cosplaying Black Canary so yeah!
The guy with the mop at the end is the director.
Great reaction again. It's also worth pointing our here that both Andrew and Grant are using 7 string guitars for this new album, so there's potential for some lower register guitar riffs to accompany the brighter power metal style. The guitar Andrew is using in this video is his handmade guitar from Vigilant guitars, really beautiful thing. You were right about the bassist, Nikko (the guy with the exceptional fingerwork in the Awakening video) left after the Apex tours and they then used a couple of stand-ins for shows in the interim. I think they're on the lookout for a new member at the moment.
I think Andrew wrote the music for the album. Great shredding solos in the album from Andrew even his singing on the second to last track is awsome.
14:32 So right. I didn't think I could love this band more than I do, but your videos have made that happen!
Aaah thank you 🙏🙏🙏
The bass player was wearing an invisible suit
When you right, you right.
Honestly, I'd love to see you do a track by track of this whole album. there's so much variety in Abyss that I'm blown away.
Excellent review - love the analytics, way above the level of most reaction videos. :)
Thank you for the kind words, Phil.
So, found this band from watching your Nightwish vids, army member here. But now im a huge fan of Unleash as well. Love your break down of whats actually happening musically. i still would love to hear you break down Liliac. you'll be amazed im sure. especially if you love female led bands.
Glad you've branched out and exploring new artists. Yeah absolutely, I'll give that a listen.
@@ChaseCarneson ua-cam.com/video/CRrqHZNMUko/v-deo.html
It's always a damn good day with Unleash the Archers. I was wondering where the bassist was too when I watched it yesterday. I hope I can see this band live again. One of my favorite concert experiences and they just played a 45 minute support set for Dragonforce.
HAVE A DAMN GOOD DAY 🙏
17:10 through 17: 35 displays her epic breath control. Also, 16:58 through 17:10.
Best UtA reaction(s)... Everytime...
IMMORTAL IS MORE THAN A NAME!
greetz from germany
Chase - loved your 'Power Ranger' comment. What a voice this lady has!
Been listening to this song for the last day. Can' wait till August for the album.
The bassist.. what an interesting question. You see, the thing with Unleash the Archers is they go through bassists like Spinal Tap goes through drummers and they're currently between bassists..
It's always interesting to watch the process of someone discovering a new band, particularly one you've loved for ages. Even moreso with you Chase as you bring your appreciation for the art of music into that process while sharing it with the rest of us. Kudos!
Thank you for this. Lots more to come!!!
I love her loooooooooong notes.
Looooooooo-oooooooo-oooooooongg!
I like where they're going with their sound on a new album. More vocal harmonies, a little more synth, but the soul of the band is still the same. And Brittney's voice... yeah! As for the bassist, afaik they don't have permanent one at the moment (correct me if I'm wrong).
And I realized that you haven't heard Charlotte from Delain yet. Trust me, you totally should! She is one of the Symphonic Metal Dutch Queens: here is my suggestion -- Masters Of Destiny, from their new album released in Feb [ ua-cam.com/video/nT14mlv92t4/v-deo.html ]. You just cannot miss Delain, they are incredible! ;)
Needs to be done! 😋
Yes! Delain deserves more love
If Delain, then Delain with Marco as a Guest.
Because obviously.
For the record, one of their earlier albums (Demons of the Astrowaste, I think) had a decent amount of synths as well. They lean more into the "traditional" power metal sound when the subject of the music is more fantasy focused, and a more "modern" and synth-heavy sound in the songs that are meant to be about sci-fi. Though I will admit that the synths in that album aren't quite as in-your-face, iirc.
Enslaved by a dream, by infected rain I love infected rain and I hope u will injoy them also
Excellent reaction, and fantastic breakdown to another killer UTA jam! I hope Brittney & the boys see this. She does watch these from time to time & she might just hit you up bro:)
That would be absolutely amazing. Thanks for the support.
Story wise, Abyss is a sequel album to Apex. According to Brittney, you have until around the end of August to react to the rest of the Apex album :)
August the 21st 😉
9:30 he fell in love
Yes UTA don't disappoint, a pre-order of "Abyss" would be a good move I think. And make sure you keep that August 4th 2021 slot reserved for a trip to Sweden and the Sabaton Open Air Music Festival if you want to see them live. Cheers / B.
They have a touring bassist
Great video, REALLY appreciate your insight. Particularly that note about how the change in drum tempo creates an apparent speed change, I would never have noticed that.
Regarding the bassist, Nikko (bassist from Awakenings) left slightly after Apex album release. I know he was already out by the time I saw their tour in mid-2018. Since they have a fairly regular touring bassist and have a studio bassist they've used, but the band doesn't want to rush adding a permanent bassist just to fill a gap since their chemistry is working so well right now. That's at least my understanding, they or someone in the know can correct me if I'm off.
Cheers!
Edit: One addendum I thought of after the fact, when you talked about voice layering. Have you done any Blind Guardian reactions? If not, you might want to give them a go. Hansi, the lead singer, does a lot of that voice layering and it reminds me a lot of UTA. Particularly try "The Bard's Song" (Slow but hauntingly beautiful ballad) or either "Battlefield" or "Sacred Worlds" (the full version of the latter with the orchestral opening, there's a shorter cut version for a video game release that's good but not NEARLY as deep and complex). You'll probably enjoy that layering.
Forgot Valhalla... 😉👌
It is a shame, Nikko was quite good.
i‘d love to see you reacting to their songs on a weekly basis or so.. just can‘t let you miss any of their work
I am appreciating this group a lot lately 😳
Lock into the top and tail of a loop. I never thought of it that way. That's great.
Like awakening was the first track to apex album abyss is the first track for the next album. It will be a continuation of the story of the immortal from Apex. This song is such an epic hit, i love it. Shame we have to wait 2 months for more.
Spiritbox - Rule of Nines youll love it!
Come on Chase! That's at least two requests now. Spiritbox army?
I tweeted him about it as well, hopefully he'll get to them soon!
what an energetic track, wow!
I love your REACTION videos...straight and on point. I learn a lot from them.
Thank you Jose. Lots more to come.
@@ChaseCarneson already subscribed to your channel
🏹
Ha nice - this concept album is going to be good. Giving me flashbacks to Coheed and Cambria.
I am glad I wasn't the only one who saw a Power metal Power Ranger out of Britneys costume 😅
😂😂😂👌
Great Reaction Chase... congratulations... my opinion ... I'm in Metal for 40 years .... today there is no better band than UTA
This song is a second part, go check “Apex”!!
Oh, great... I'm glad you like it :) your reactions will never disappoint me, same as Brittney's vocals.
For now, Brittney, Tatiana (Jinjer) and Su-metal (BABYMETAL) are my top 3 female vocalists :)
Btw, I'm still waiting for your reaction to Orphan Soul by Infected Rain :D
You forgot Floor Jansen. 🤦
@@ChrisPage68 not really.. I like Tarja more 😅
Pretty much the same! I just need to hear more of jinjer
"how can the stars be all i can see?"
"Where have i gone? Do i dream?" 🔥
They don’t plan on getting a permanent bassist and will stick with session/studio bassists and then a touring bassist
What happened with the guy that was in the Awakening video?
@@boomstick900 he left the group at the start of 2018...looked like an amicable split
Actually I spoke with him at the Vancouver show , He was seriously down about having to leave cause he just could not keep up with the financial cost of touring. He said they were the biggest band he had ever been in and is sad that he couldn't continue :( Feel.bad for the guy...it's hard enough to live in vancouver let alone save for regular tours around the world.
@@nemisisarcher8213 That sucks. He's an amazing bass player.
@@nemisisarcher8213 Thank you so much for this insight. I have always wondered. He is so talented and was such a good fit for this band in Apex. I get sad every time I hear the intro to Earth and Ashes, and think about how we won't hear stuff like that anymore in new music. It's a f'ing crime against humanity that these guys still have to work day jobs and can't support themselves with their music. I am hoping beyond hope that they are purposely leaving the spot open, in case this album finally gives them their big break and they can actually pay him and all of themselves to be in the band, instead of the other way around....
I really have to agree with Austin here. You should really react to the entire album of Apex as Abyss is coming out in two months. Plenty of time!
This sounds like a plan.
UTAs new song and video are so awesome! and I really enjoyed your reactionvideo.
Thank you for supporting.
Other great songs to check out by these guys:
"General of the Dark Army"
"Earth and Ashes"
"The Matriarch"
Thanks Chase for all you do!
They have a hard time keeping a bassist. The bassist that was in the band for the previous album left the band. I believe they do have a new bassist or at least a session bassist. I'm not sure why he isn't in the video. Could be they filmed this a long time ago before the new bassist joined? Not sure, but yeah, they've had a hard time keeping a bassist, which is weird, considering that if I was a skilled bassist, I'd hop on the opportunity to be in this band.
The bassist that they were touring with lives on the other side of the country and has a hard time scheduling things with UTA on top of his own projects.
When I was a whippersnapper, girls didn't do Metal. Only guys. God, I wish I knew that girls were allowed to do this. I took voice training, I was a mezzo soprano. I was a powerhouse. I'm so jealous I could spit! Ain't they great!? Canadian content!
Happy Not Birthday!🎁💐🍻🎂🎶
Come on, the queen Doro has been around since the 80s... 😁😇😈
It's not too late!!! :)
@@luisnunes2010 Who? I was raised by a Catholic school teacher. I wasn't allowed to have comic books. Metal? This was a woman who was horrified to discover that some of her teen students would sketch pentacles on their notebooks! If I had brought a Metal record in, all heck would have busted loose!
@@snowdoll3778 Yeah, it is. I'm 57, on disability. And there have been several chest infections. I haven't the strength now. It requires a certain level of physical endurance that is sorely lacking. But at least I can learn to enjoy it now.
HA! "Power metal power ranger" so funny, so true!
Dude, I'm so glad that you jumped on this one so quickly, I actually saw it for the very first time in your video! (It's like we're reacting TOGETHER, aw. 🤣) what you absolutely HAVE to see is UTA's rendition of Northwest Passage. Absolutely killer song, but you'll love it, it's jumped way up to the top of my gardening playlist (alongside Nightwish if that tells you anything).
Trust me, you won't regret it.
Also, apparently Northwest Passage is a cultural song for Canadians, on par with being the best runner-up for the national anthem, if "O Canada" wasn't a thing. These guys covered it in glorious fashion. :D
(I'd suggest that you check out the music video version, it's a bit of a trip to follow, but lots of good fun!)
Nice one haha. Yeah it's been quite a common request, so I'll give it a listen for sure. Definitely gotta be a reaction.
Great you just went for it! I hope you are able to connect with Brittney and do a video with her, I think she would love your analysis.
I had to laugh. The guy moping the floor at the end is the director, Roderick Scobie.
I believe so, wish I knew hahaha
@@ChaseCarneson It's Roderick. Brittney did a interview with another UA-camr and she said it was. Odd thing is she never mentioned why the bassist wasn't in the video. Being a former bassist myself, I always take a special interest in the bass.
Since you (and we all) are in love with Brittney and her vocals ;-) check out Test Your Metal: ua-cam.com/video/2yctXV3uHBs/v-deo.html
Rob Halford would be proud! \m/
Brittney Slayes - yes, she does!..... Andy reminds me of Dokken for some reason (!?)..... Now, you have seen it, maybe hear Brittney talk about i? ua-cam.com/video/LmjTQhg6sB0/v-deo.html... That's the producer/director mopping at the end!!!
Really??? That makes it even better.
You need to listen to the whole album to get the full experience of the song
I listened to a lot of it since then of course. I think it works as a standalone hit sure context it a nice added extra
Love you reactions. Especially with UTA. I have just recently started to listen because of you and Tank reactions to them. Unreal! I have to see you reaction to cleanse the bloodlines. Very interested
Firstly, thank you so much for the kind words. Secondly, the good news is that reaction is already up. Just UA-cam search my name and cleanse the bloodlines and you'll see it
@@ChaseCarneson yeah I finally found it. It was awesome. This is the second band that I have really got into because of these reactions, which I am also new at. Keep up the great work. Love watching them!
IMMORTAL IS MORE THAN A NAME!
"Abyss"
Open my eyes in a daze
How long has it been? Am I so out of place?
Warmth I can no longer feel
My mountain is gone, I'm surrounded by steel
The strangest of structures arises ahead
Seems to be held up by nothing
Where have I gone, do I dream?
How can the stars be all I can see?
Dark embrace
Has someone awakened me? Please show your face
Cold and quiet space
Out so far beyond stars and the sun
Filling my heart up with wonder, unknown
Now, to the edge of imagination
Open my eyes to phenomenon, and hope
Feverishly I explore
Searching for someone, there has to be more
I can't be the only one here
My path always guides me, there's nothing to fear
Then why do I feel so immensely alone
This can't be the end of my story
Onward I go once again
Fighting my way to my final breath
Into the abyss
Out so far beyond stars and the sun
Filling my heart up with wonder, unknown
Now, to the edge of imagination
Open my eyes to phenomenon, and hope
Summon the strength of millenniums past
Forged by the fire and flame
I am the weapon of empires vast
Immortal is more than a name
Out so far beyond stars and the sun
Filling my heart up with wonder, unknown
Now, to the edge of imagination
Open my eyes to phenomenon, and hope
Cry into the chasm ahead
Into the sky never ending, although
Time will tell if I'm worthy of it
A future of final transcending, alone
Thx!
And the Immortal has risen again, but for what purpose and by whom? Exciting 😁
Wow, that woke me up.
Great reaction Chase!! Nice to hear your breakdown of the song, well done... You are correct in your comment about the song having a concept. The story actually begins with their previous album Apex (2017). Each song on that album is a chapter in the story... Abyss (August 2020) is the continuation of the story. Abyss (the song) is the second "Awakening" of the main character The Immortal... You need to check out the lyrics to follow the story... Well worth your time, believe me!!! Rock on Chase!!! Oh by the way, the bass player left the band in 2018. Third one to leave the band. In a new interview Brittney said they will remain a 4 piece band, and hire touring bassists...
Nice song, good analysis, thanks.
Great reaction and that's the happens when you have classical vocal training.
You need to react to Northwest Passage!
I know what you mean about personality in style. Years ago, when Godsmack released their album Faceless, I bought it first day, because I am a fan. I took it home, listened to it, and couldn't figure out why it sounded a little off to me. I eventually came to the conclusion that the drums were different, and found it that they had replaced their drummer for the album. Even on brand new songs from a band you know very well, the replacement of one member can change the sound.
Think you need to have a listen to Leporus - Slave (live at Rockefeller). Really think you'd like it
Any Leprous would make me happy.
@@maximilianschultz8244 yeah, they are quickly becomming one of my favorite bands
Only an ginger can call another ginger ginger, Tim Minchin - prejudice... :-D
haha.. sweet you reacted to them right away!!! perfect .. love it
Totally love your reactions... like ive said before your my fav
and yes .. .they are inbetween bassists i think
Is it just me who thinks that last note Brittany hits goes on for 3 days?
It was.... yeah...
I hope you would like to do: Emperor - With Strength I Burn (Live at Wacken).
I wonder whether that is related to the abyss in the video game Aion. It wouldn't be the first band whose members played and liked the same video game.
I was wondering where the bass player was too. Awesome bass solo guy from the Awakening video apparently isn't part of the band anymore. Bummer.
Since you love Unleash the Archers, I'd be interested to see what you would think of the band Frozen Crown, maybe the songs I Am The Tyrant or Neverending
Ok, only at 6:51, but I know I need the whole album.
