    Unleash the Archers are my favorite band. Abyss is such a kick-ass album. A band in their prime. And these two guys are fantastic.

    I love that one does a riff the other jumps in and they just jam for a bit. Also that it’s just them talking and just on their own time it seems like. Cool dudes

    I just noticed -- it's been over a year since I suggested Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast as a cover, or Manowar's Kingdom Come as a cover. Regardless if these guys ever did it, the fact I get to hear Dreamcrusher, False Walls, Abyss, and The Wind That Shapes The Land? These guys not only give me new stuff to listen to, but they keep the old stuff, and memories as a kid, alive.
    So much love and respect for these two, and for the whole band. Now all I want to do is see the band on tour!
    As Tenacious D would say, COVID almost killed the metal -- but _nothing_ can kill the metal! Stay safe, stay well, you guys, and hope to see you on tour in 2021!

    A kinda similar story for me. Iron Maiden was the catalyst for me too. Back when I was around 11 or 12 me and my cousin would listen to Big Shiny Tunes 5 that had like Sum 41, Blink 182, 3 Doors Down, RHCP, Matthew Good Band etc on it, so that was my start with any form of Rock n Roll. But then I remember being sent The Trooper and The Number of the Beast over MSN Messenger one day and that changed everything, my path towards Melodic Metal was definitely started by Maiden.

    And vocal vise Brittney is the first female vocal that i place equal (power and the color of her voice) to the greats such as Bruce Dickinson, Dio or Kiske.
