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
So, with the synths being in their music now, the band members say that those synth riffs are there to fill in the gap of the overall sound of the music. Very good choice they made, because it sounded epic!
There's still good music made in this world. We have to look for it. Heavy Metal is the genre to serach. It's so refreshing when we listen to this guys, for example, so energetic. Good reaction guys !
"A bukkake of new albums" Gotta love the way Pedro chooses his words. I fondly remember the time he tried to get the Wintersun guitarist to start a porn-related channel.
When Britney sings: 'I am the weapon of empires past' (or passed, either works), I just imagine tens of thousands of young women getting into metal and rock and that makes me so, so, so happy. The more equality in metal, the better. Especially when most guys would struggle mightily to measure up to this majesty.
Pretty sure it's "empires vast". "Past" was the last word in the previous line. Edit: it's the harmonies Brittney belts out that get me throughout their entire discography. The entire Abyss album is incredible, my personal favourite being "The wind that shapes the land".
@@MetalCharlo yeah, you're right. And the guys you're making excuses for resent the fact she's just a better singer than they are 😉 The fact is, the number of women in metal is still tragically low so MY comment was supporting and praising a woman that raises the bar for women in metal. And if you think that people DON'T need competition to thrive, ask any company who simply buys their competition if that truly makes them stronger. Now I don't have notifications on, so you probably won't even see this (4 years later) and maybe you won't care to reply. I probably won't see it, but people pushing other people is how they get better. Competition IS A GOOD THING. And again, if it's not and there are bands you think are suffering because of it, maybe stop defending them and let them speak for themselves 🤷
Honestly, this whole album is such a banger. It starts off with a gut punch and just keeps swinging. The whole album keeps the momentum from the first song, while still creating different moods with each song. Each track fits together perfectly, and the whole album ends up telling an epic story. This album is a masterpiece, and I really think more people should know about it.
Been waiting for your reaction to this since the video came out last week, and I was not disappointed. The album is still a couple of months away, but I feel confident that it will be a strong contender for album of the year.
Love the raunchy Dad jokes. Keep em' coming! This song is really, really good. The story from Apex was a lot of fun and I can't wait to see where it goes now that it's moving into the sci-fi realm. Cool how the added synth element fits in with the setting of the story they're telling.
Antonio has grown so much! damn. He's becoming a big ass man! I still remember when he was not much taller than your shoulder, and how he pretty much is at your same height. Keep rocking!
I’ve seen reactions to them plastered all over my home page but this is my first time actually listening. I don’t even really listen to power metal but I loved this 🤟🏻
The outfit of Britney reminds the outfit of Uma Thurman in the movie "Kill Bill", that last one whose was a sort of tribute to the outfit of Bruce Lee in the movie "Game of Death". :)
Hey guys! This album, I think, is a straight homage to DragonForce: "Summon the strength of millenniums past/Forged in the fires and flame." This song is, IMHO, a lot like Awakening -- hence the reason why I call it an homage to DragonForce. And Brittney's voice is so, so strong -- I really want to hear all of the other songs on the album! Lastly, I dont know if either of you know, but Abyss drops August 21! I found that out from the General of Metalandia herself, Brittney Slayes, when she reacted to Abyss with Heath, aka Mr. Rock N Roll. Glad to see you guys still rockin', and staying safe! Good to see you again! 🤘😎🤘
Thanks guys for a reaction that FINALLY hits the nail right on the head! This is definitely a fusion of classic and power metal at its finest. For all the naysayers, Apex took us on a journey of epic proportions and Awakening was only one song of ten on that album. In addition, there were different styles of songwriting throughout that album to reflect the mood of the particular piece of the story they were telling. Seeing some of the teaser videos in the studio, Abyss will certainly follow suit. I am very happy for them and this amazing song....such a classic feel with a modern twist. Certainly worth the wait in my humble opinion!!
Yeah, Abyss is another concept album taking place 50 years after Apex. Brit was talking about it on twitch the other day. From the sounds of it the album is more sci-fi than Apex but will still have a good amount of fantasy feel. I'm looking forward to the story they tell and like you said the different styles of songwriting reflecting the mood of each piece. With how absolutely incredible Apex was and hearing her talk about the new album and her genuine excitement around it and hearing this track. I'm sure it'll be another killer record.
gotta love covid videos... but for the budget and the pandemic.. i think they did a pretty damn good job!!!! music is top notch in my opinion.. just gonna have to get use to the syths
The real question is what do they do to their bass players that they all leave. Her vocals are amazing. First part of the solo is shredder mode the second part is more melodic part.
Their bassist Nico left in 2017 because he could not afford to live in Vancouver and pay extra $ to tour. Their touring bassist now lives in Ontario and has many other commitments with other projects. Also, Brittney said in an interview recently that the 4 of them are such a tight knit group right now that adding a permanent bassist to that mix is not being considered.
I like this concept album follows on from apex O and out of 100 percent of reactors I have watched for this song as I love this song and band only probably 1 or 2 of them mention that the bass player was missing
The song takes a while to get into but I start to feel it after about half way through. It's not one of my favorites either but I do really like the band.
Guys,while "Apex" ,last album by UTA was a pure masterpiece in my opinion and "Awakening' has been one of the best metal songs ever created ,this song is... so average and disappointing that it makes me angry. They sound like a damn metal ABBA band and it makes me furious.I love this band,I would really want to at least like this song but I can't. And the video is horrible!!!!!
Definitely agree with you about awakening but i think you're a bit harsh on this song,its a cool song, standard power metal but it's still cool. Listen to the new album from Amberian Dawn, that's abba metal... No wait, don't bother listening to it 🤣🤣

I'm just seeing this reaction video but paused it as soon as he said that to check the comments section. haha
They PULLED OUT and released a BUKKAKE of new albums.
Pedro don't give a SHIT 😂
For some reason I hear old Stratovarius in this tune, and a pinch of Sonata Arctica in the bridge. Tasty classic powermetal in my ears 🤘
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
So, with the synths being in their music now, the band members say that those synth riffs are there to fill in the gap of the overall sound of the music. Very good choice they made, because it sounded epic!
This album is going to be awesome.
I absolutely love this song.
Her long and high "scream" at the beginning gives me a shiver every time I hear it
There's still good music made in this world. We have to look for it. Heavy Metal is the genre to serach. It's so refreshing when we listen to this guys, for example, so energetic. Good reaction guys !
Love the 100. Was not expecting the random reference/comparison to it lol
"A bukkake of new albums"
Gotta love the way Pedro chooses his words. I fondly remember the time he tried to get the Wintersun guitarist to start a porn-related channel.
That is happening, we are working on it.
@@APREACTS That's the kind of answer I wanted to hear. You never disappoint.
These guys are just everything thats great about metal 🤘🤘killer track and can't wait for the album and continuation of the story from Apex!
When Britney sings: 'I am the weapon of empires past' (or passed, either works), I just imagine tens of thousands of young women getting into metal and rock and that makes me so, so, so happy.

@@nolankuffner3573 It's been 3 years I'm not reading that
Sticking out, sticking in, pulling out... my mind went elsewhere.
Only Pedro can throw up porn terms when talking about music and stay classy
It is a gift from the Gods.
@@APREACTS This ability is awesome. I love this way of thinking in You. BTW great reaction, like always.
@@APREACTS Tem que ser o sangue tuga só pode xD
UTA it's getting better and better!
Already pre-ordered the album. Her soaring vocals here outstrip Awakening! 😍🔥 🌶️

Like a weed he grows super fast
That video totally gave me the feeling of "We've come to bargain Dormammu" xD
When I clicked on this I KNEW he would giggle at the intro scream Brittney does in this song :)
I love you guys. What a song too!
Scott is my spirit animal, never lifts his arms above shoulder hight 😅
This song makes my Lost Horizon heart happy
I love this song!
I love powermetal, this band is one of my favorites for the past 2 years. Love the content guys.
Amazing Track !!! LOVE IT !!!
I’ve seen reactions to them plastered all over my home page but this is my first time actually listening. I don’t even really listen to power metal but I loved this 🤟🏻
There are so many great power metal bands out there now. Battle Beast, Beast in Black, Powerwolf, Unleash the Archers, Sabaton, Kamelot....
They are like a power metal and classic metal mix. Think Iron Maiden crossed with Stratovarius.
Yea, I’ve seen Sabaton pop up a bunch maybe I’ll give it a listen
@@taup184 I recently discovered Powerwolf and being a Sabaton fan, Powerwolf is fucking amazing!
Her voice continues to blow my fuckin mind the female Bruce Dickinson such an amazing band
The outfit of Britney reminds the outfit of Uma Thurman in the movie "Kill Bill", that last one whose was a sort of tribute to the outfit of Bruce Lee in the movie "Game of Death". :)
I get an X-Men vibe from it. I just wonder how she gets out of it when she needs to the Female Metalhead's room. 😱💩🚽

Im new with this band, never heard of them before. This album might be interesting
Check out their album "Apex." It's amazing!
Yea Apex is fantastic 🤘
As the others has said , check out their Apex album
I’m surprised you guys haven’t checked out Trick or Treats most recent record; The Legend of XII Saints! So melodic and beautiful and heavy!
The real question is what do they do to their bass players that they all leave. Her vocals are amazing. First part of the solo is shredder mode the second part is more melodic part.

I love each of your reaction 😊 and learn a lot from you ! Why didn't you react to Lovebites - when destinies align ? You would love it for sure
We don’t do Japanese bands due to their music industry history of shutting down channels for using their music
@@APREACTS Ok, thanks for answering !!
Some bands pulled back and others..?
Britney Slayes, QUEEN of the new metal.
Don't clap. Don't stand. Don't cheer.
BOW.
my opinion ... I'm in Metal for 40 years .... today there is no better band than UTA
Are you guys able to do DEMOLISHER by slaughter to prevail? Or agony by slaughter to prevail?
We don't do bands signed to Sumerian Records.
My first question for Britney and the whole band would be: How was it to travel through a black hole?
Hahahaa they pulled out, then are going to stick it in and bukkake all in one sentence HAHAH!!!!
Some of my best work ....
I like this concept album follows on from apex O and out of 100 percent of reactors I have watched for this song as I love this song and band only probably 1 or 2 of them mention that the bass player was missing
They don’t have a permanent bass player anymore, so no surprise that there isn’t a bass player in the video
💖
you need to watch LOVEBITES...the best power metal band actually
How does the kid look so much older since the last video I watched
You havent checked the band Persuader yet. I requested the song Heathen.
Where are you guys from? I came here accidentally when I was watching you reacting about Sabaton's song.
Canada
@@APREACTS Oh ok, thank you.
bruuuhh.. what was all that about bukakke, pulling out and "stick it back in" and "stay in" and "not pull out" llmmffaaaaoooo
Hey guys, this track is good but please react to the newest song SoulBound, you two are great keep on making good reaction vids 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
great video considering theres no Bass player in it
It's not like the song has no bass. They don't have a full time bass player. Not the first or last to have session player fill in on the bass.
@@APREACTS oh i know, i found out after i saw it, i just meant in the video
It doesn't have everything... Missing a bass player 🤔🙄
Awesome band though!
I noticed that as well...
The bass player for this album is a friend of theirs as their Apex bassist left in 2017
They're not going out on the road, so there's no hurry. The synth makes up for it.
Been waiting ages for you guys to react to newest avatar song, I'm assuming you haven't forgotten.
Hold on. Who says gingers have no soul?
People say it, saw it a couple of times on the internet. Probably fake news.
@@APREACTS More soul than a giant's shoe. That's what I heard :-)
Half ginger here.
Can confirm only half a soul.
Love the tune, hate the benfica hat. Please get rid!
Really? I think this song is so dissapointing. I've been trying to get into UTA so was looking forward to this but its so forgettable IMO.
You act like everyone has been panning this song. You're in the minority from what I've seen.
@@billb.5183 I'm not acting like anything? Maybe i am in the minority, i just dont think its very good, dont let it bother you.
No! HELL NO! 🤦
Thought it was better than many of their other songs tbh
The song takes a while to get into but I start to feel it after about half way through. It's not one of my favorites either but I do really like the band.

Listen to the new album from Amberian Dawn, that's abba metal... No wait, don't bother listening to it 🤣🤣
You try doing a music video in The Middle of a pandmeic
@@Aidan.G Ha, I was just about to say if you think this is Abba metal, listen to Amberian Dawn. You beat me to it!
its ok dude if the band and video is horrible all you gotta do is NOT listen to them. easy AF.
@@crumpledfish Amberian Dawn are really good, so it's not the insult intended. 😉
