Canadian shooting stars UNLEASH THE ARCHERS have been on the road since their inception in 2007. Since then they have created an immensely loyal North American fan base. With a fresh sound, precise songwriting and the incredible feeling for heaviness and melodies, this power quintet with singer Brittney Slayes are now ready to take the rest of the world. Their new studio album Time Stands Still, is fast-paced and wildly entertaining; the combination of power vocals, death screams, tasty guitar licks and complex drumming provide a little something for everyone. Time Stands Still is kick ass heavy metal with fist-pumping anthemic melodies you can’t help but sing along to.

Yesterday I went in for surgery. As I was being prepared, a nurse asks what music I like.
I explained they likely would not have it in an OR, they asked for a few band names after I told them Metal...
I woke up to this. Unleash the Archers is AMAZING! And so is Mass General Hospital's cardiovascular surgical team for playing music that brings me comfort.
Thats dope man
Same for me when I broke my leg :D ! I was awake during the surgery and they put metal for me !!
I'm surprised that they would have anything like this! You got lucky man!
That is so damn cool. Hope you're healing well 🤘
Nice story , metal heals the soul😎🎸
One has to wonder why the archers were leashed to begin with.
+Taxtro I don't know why this comment doesn't have more upvotes.
one of the best female front vocalists I've ever heard
+Zayd Qasas one of the most amazing female front vocals out there in metal
+Taxtro That was my joke dagnabit! Probably over egged the pudding though.
I wrote this whole paragraph directly above your comment one day before you wrote it lol
''The name of this band just seems ridiculous. ''Unleash the archers''? Who the hell keeps their archers leashed in the first place? What would be the point in that? I mean, do they even have their bows and arrows with them while they're leashed or do you have to, in fact, both unleash the archers and also unlock the cabinets within which their weapons have been stored? But surely if you kept all your archers leashed, they're not going to best pleased. Then when you do unleash them all, whose to say that they're not going to have a pop at you for leashing them up? ''Unleash the hounds'' I'd understand a little more but maybe the hounds are bother called Archer? And ‘’Unleash the Archers'' is actually a command to unleash the dogs? I don't know. Maybe I'm over thinking this.''

Oh sorry, I didn't see your comment.
In fact I only clicked on the video to leave my oneliner and leave the rest to the imagination. : 3
HOLY SHIT!!!! 62 years.....I had to wait 62 years to find this! Omfg....thank you! The music, the theatrics, the setting and equipment, the goddess like lead....this is perhaps the greatest music video I've ever seen.
5:35 whats the name of that song pls ?
@@morty8367 Civil War- Bay of Pigs
100% So EPIC! Though this video maybe be even better
ua-cam.com/video/PfSL-6YExzk/v-deo.html
Took me 66 years!!!!
Agreed
The drummer fell off the back like 50 miles ago, but he's still rocking.
NO ROCK
THIS IS METAL
MESSI, el genio “but he’s still metaling” really doesn’t have the same ring to it.
@@ryjak955 tiene relacion con lo que escribi?
NO
solo le aclare que no es rock
ESTO ES METAL
MESSI, el genio ... sorry, what? I don’t know that language.
Legend has it hes still rocking where he fell off
My 4 year old refers to this as the "Pretty Lady that dresses like a crow" song and makes me put it on before preschool every morning.
I hope my future kids are like your four year old. Because they'll be listening to this whether the like it or not.
Good, the future is safe... this comment has restored my faith in humanity.
Fatherhood. Doing it right.
Surely the coolest kid in preschool
This brought a tear to my eye.
Back in the 80's, that is how the guys sang.
+Bryon Lape The guys back then had to sqeesze their balls pretty hard to reach those high pitch sounds.
+biingo12345 that's why they all wore tight ass pants
Power Metal singers* yah. I was thinking xD Like Hammerfall not like 80's power metal when I heard this.
Old Hammerfall.
it sounds to me one inspiration for these guys was running wild
Listening to music as I try to go to bed with my 7 and 4 year old daughters. I put this song on and my youngest was holding the notes and singing along. My oldest is laying with me doing the air drums. My daughters love you guys and my youngest, "Can I be like her?" I've always loved music and I hope that goes on to my daughters. I really wanna see you guys live. Hopefully you guys play somewhere in Florida after everything opens up. Thanks for allowing me to have this epic moment with my kids. 😁😁😁😁
If they're doing that then you have successfully done two things: passed on your love of music and raised some awesome little humans.
5:35 whats the name of that song pls ?
My kid used to headbang bouncing on the bed to slipknot much to his mothers annoyance :D
awesome parenting
My husband is taking our 8 year old to see them in Atlanta this September. Tickets are like 20 bucks.
Song is epic despite them literally driving 3 mph to keep them all safe.
Holy shit it's ACG, I love your reviews
There is also the guy at 2:07 wearing the black polo top with the button done up... kinda blows the Mad Max vibe a little. LOL! It all adds to the charm though!!
Facts lol
@@mattbottos Maybe he was lucky enough to raid a box of Lacoste shirts from the abandoned warehouse!
@@calebfuller4713 Ahh yes... Lacoste! The preferred brand of the post apocalyptic renegade :D
One of you guys really should have had a flamethrower guitar to really complete the Mad Max aesthetic.
***** And it'd be nice if the cars went above 3 miles per hour
Spunky McGoo lol i didn't even notice xD
Spunky McGoo "I know it's only five minutes to showtime, but this is a school zone dammit!"
***** And Brittney Slayes needs a beard..
***** That is not Mad Max aesthetic, that is The Book of Eli aesthetic.
Totally found this group by accident, haven't stopped listening to them. 10/10 would recommend.
Same
Same here
Same
same
think u meant 12/10 would recommend? =D
7 years later, and this song never fails to put a smile on my face.
Makes me almost cry every damn time.
One of the best intros out there imo
@@zeroshotx4082 ever heard Skeltonwitch Baptized In Flames? Or As Good As Dead by Through The Eyes Of The Dead? Pull the trigger by tteotd also has a savage intro.
It just hits every. damn. time.
You can't listen to this and not be energized to take on anything
Fallout player: "I wonder what those raiders do when I don't fight them."
Raiders:
*slow clap*
This song got me so fired up' I ran out side and beat the shit out of my neighbors mail box with a fork.
Oh
+Boss Arch I seen your neighbor loading a shotgun....
I would pay to see that!
haha ! I hear ya bro. Boom !
+Lenny Fortes
I think anyone with a sense of humor would
But the question is how much?
She could sing about going to Wal-Mart and it would be epic
Don't tempt them...
Troy Wallace they probably were going to walmart in this music video
UTA were the door greeters at Walmart that day😎✌
Is Walmart big in Canada?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For years I was convinced that metal vocals were exclusively a man’s game - there just wasn’t a female voice out there that had the power to change my mind.
This changed my mind - completely.
Check out Nightwish with Floor Jansen.
Listen to Alissa from Arch Enemy, if this changed your mind that will blow it. I'd reccomend Into the Eye of the Storm, some of her best vocal work.
Unleash the Archers is what happens when you find out that everyone in your D&D group is a) really, really into Power Metal & b) really, really GOOD...
That's a great group to be with!
Mystic shroud
Been a metalhead for nearly 25 years, brittany is up there with the best singers ive heard.
Never heard about Anneke Van G ? Headline ?
nope but ill have a listen
you got that right I laughed at first when she did the 80's style voice intro, then holy fuck i'm blown away literally teary eyed she has a set of pipes on her holy fuck
shes fucking amazing. its as if rob halford and dio had a child together.
these guys are awesome. makes me want to do some epic hardcore shit.
some people say heavy metal is stupid. i say they have no idea how much talent you need to sing like that.
tbh not all of it. Quite a bit of any genre is formulaic and generic. Even the harder metals. However, considering this is the first time i've heard this group, I am beyond impressed. Although I could do with a bit more variation in guitar during the chorus. Blues Boxes exist. Use them you know?
+silverwolfe3636 they could do more with the backing instruments and not rely on the vocals so much.
That guitarist is pretty damn good too
You need exactly "her" much talent.
The only thing that bugs me about this band is the guitars volume is lower than the drums 80% of the time instead of making it a bit even
EPIC LOUD VOICE!/GOLIATH DRUMS!!/ teeny weenie guitar
😕
THE OCTIVE RANGE ON THE VOCALIST, HOLY SHIT!!!!
Well she doesn’t go low does she?
@@joshp6061 there are a couple of spots in this song where she does.
@@jeffrielly anyway what’s way more impressive is her ability to hold and shift notes at extremely high keys, for like the whole song
@@joshp6061 Her vocal range is VERY wide
She has a range from C#3 (which is the C# an octave below middle C) to D6 (which is the D two octaves above middle C).
She's belting the highs. That's the impressive part.
Unleash the Archers - Tonight We Ride
Hold on to this moment for all time, this is the night we ride
I hear them calling our name
Raising the flag and fuelling the flame
I'll find my destination; don't tell me where to go
I won't give in this time (feel the power)
Not this time (scream it louder)
Voyage o'er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
No regrets, just live for the fight
Renounce your precious lives and ride
Take hold of your steel chariot; though ours is gone, lives on
Rise to the challenge or fall
Nothing will hinder our rise to the call
We'll find our destination, can't tell us where to go
We won't give in this time (feed the hunger)
Not this time (growing stronger)
Voyage o'er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
We'll find our destination; let's go!
Voyage o'er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
Fly, redeem tonight
Destroy, renounce your precious lives and ride
Ride

Songwriter: Hayes Brittney Janet
1:14-1:25 is the best part. the vocals are truly sung from the lungs of a Valkyrie carrying the soul of a hero to Valhalla.
^What he said.
Frosty TheLion also yes!
Its more like a hero singing to a valkyrie
Her high notes gave me chills
Heard this and tasted run-to-the-hills for the first time again. You've brought me back to metal (six years, six months, and six days after release).
She hits all those notes including a ceiling shattering B6 likes its SOP.
Just saw them live on Wednesday.
Mother of god what a voice thank you Canada
am I the only one that would like to hear her and Rob Halford do a tune together?
+chris spicer I would pay good money to hear that!
+chris spicer She'd make a fool of him, he just isn't capable anymore. Rob Halford back in the day? Hell yeah.
+Connor McMurray you may be right, his vocals are not what they used to be
If we could bring rob back from his 20s or 30s oh yes
+chris spicer For example :
her level : 2o %
Halford level : 1oo %
This woman is legit one of the greatest power metal singers of the 2010's. Respect!!!
Fuck me, mate. 4 years later and her voice still gives me the chills. Perfection.
I just stumbled upon this band. That vocal at around 1:17 about made my head explode! The singer seems to have a nice warmth to hear voice so I wasn't expecting anything to pierce through the stratosphere but wow!! What a voice!! This band really jams as well. I shall continue my journey of checking out their catalog of tunes.
When I watch Brittney whip her hair around...
I find faith in God again.
Utterly breath-taking.
Been a fan of UTA for a long time and fuck I'm so happy to see this band getting the recognition they so rightfully deserve. Last time I watched this video it sat around 100,000 views and now it's above 3 million.
J Daniels just stumbled across this band, there are no words... just regret I didn't encounter this band before! Especially since I'm Canadian!!!!
yeah I just discoverd two canidian bands "Unleash the Archers" and "Crimson Shadows" , both very good bands^^
Brittney's vocals are ALWAYS AMAZING but those notes on 1:18-1:28 are PARADISE on my ears! /m/
Her voice is what the wind sounded like in the Garden of Eden.
Listened to this band nonstop while battling cancer. This song rlly got me through the treatment and recovery! Thanks for this masterpiece!
I've been on a musical journey all night. I started with Arch Enemy, then to Semblant, Butcher Babies, 10 more female fronted bands and I've ended up here. This is awesome.
every night man and day for past 3 yrs
Metal is as strong as it's ever been. This song is AMAZING.
i appreciate you sir, best comment
Truer words have never been spoken
This is a voice that could level buildings better than a wrecking ball. What power! The whole band is amazing!! Second time hearing one of their songs. Unleash has a new fan. The video itself has an awesome Mad Max feel to it.
Man they rock!! I may be 65 years old but I know a good metal band when I hear one and boy, can they rock. She has a beautiful voice. I discovered them on Pandora by accident when I was surfing. Been hooked since. ❤
My god, such pipes, this woman. Yes!
EDM364 Very speed
Metal needs more women like her!
agree!!
i wanna be like her
production? bullshit, watch her live
Seen them live. Not studio trickery.
So you know when you normally don't like a certain style of metal... but then you just hear an all powerful voice that sends chills all throughout your body? Yea.... amazing voice...
it’s not so much genre but what you describe
0:50 when you step on a lego brick
hahahahahahahaha
I don't get it iv walked on Legos it was just a mild discomfort
If i could power wail with such intensity after stepping on Lego then I would want my floors to be made of lego
Holy shit, I am still laughing at this comment.
So waaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaing true. Minus the expletives.
5:35 whats the name of that song pls ?
People coom about singers' vocal range, but something often overlooked is raw power and this chick's got it in spades.
this is amazing. they've gained a new fan tonight
listen to general of the dark army best song ever
Ripping through time
man, I wish I was into this kind of music. what a well-rounded ensemble. the vocals steal the show. pretty epic.
that's a comment from a well-rounded person right there.
you're welcome to try out more metal, it's always good to find -FRESH MEAT- new people to enjoy our music with.
You wish? Just do it !
real recognize real
lol best comment yet.
eh doesn't the fact they you enjoy it mean you are into it?
This song is literally my anthem when I'm depressed and want to give up and I love it so much ❤
I hope this band knows how much they've touched even one person... This and awaken bring me so much feeling when I feel like I can't feel anything.. thank you guys so much ❤
This band always is the inspiration to get me through whatever life throws at me...these are my battlecries through this war called living. Thank you guys for giving me this awesome music to get through each and everyday
Saw her live today. AMAZING
You're so lucky, where did you see them
Just Her? Not the band? Okay
Where? They seem to have dropped out of music. I would walk 5 hundred miles to see them!
So jealous
@@jefffye714 And I would walk 500 more
Mad Max the Musical
+JediLeeRon Jajajajajajajaja
Good Musical. \m/
I was thinking maybe they got a discount on 2pac's California Love props
i was thinking the exact same thing LOL. did they get the rides from mad max left overs?
this is the music that they should have played in the thunderdome
Thanks Guys for bringing metal to America since America doesn't do metal anymore. The metal heads of America appreciate great bands like you!
They are Canadian
I can definitely see why she is the vocalist! Those pipes!!!
& she knows the words ! lol
wow her voice rivals anyone in the metal genre. so powerful
Rick M nope not my Dana Duffey :) no one can top dear Dana❤
Rick M meh, Kobra Paige and Jill Janus are way better,
Rick M Brittney slayes is a god
krowz with a k could be better.
Miss Vampirella don't see how
Insane guitar players, insane singer, insane drummer, yeah i'm going to have to buy this album. This song could be a lesson in how to write a hook.
That moment when you realize you will never have a badass power metal singing mad max nomad GF.......feels bad man.....
You may find her but you’d better be up to date on your chords and mechanics skills lol
We can only wish and search and hope brother...
Big titty goth gf has got nothing on power metal goddess post apocalyptic rider gf
My GF is a Baroness of immense power over the Void.
why shouldn't you? Don't give up man!
This is metal. This girl is singing it like a metal singer. The videos before this one, the female leads were singing "extreme pop"..like Amy what's her name from Evanescence...Amy Lee. This is metal. Her leads sound great!
Well, it's a good thing Amy never claimed to be metal. It's fans and other ignorant people who dubbed them as metal. According to Amy, Ev is a rock band, not a mtal band.
+Tiffany Enssle Extreme pop-rock. I'm sure Amy is one of your best buds and she appreciates you speaking up for her, though my comment wasn't in the least, malicious. I concur Evenessence most certainly was not metal. So...what's your point? LOL. We're both saying they aren't metal. STFU.
+Tricia Starrr I have just as much right to speak as you do, honey. So, if you are going to be rude, why don't you take your own advice? I was mearly stating that people often categorize bands or artists wrong. This whole rock/metal elitism is bullshit.
+Tiffany Enssle You initiate the negative conversation with a sarcastic response to my post, then you get offended when I don't play nice. Don't start anything, there won't be anything. I still say STFUF. You started it. Think before you speak.
+Tricia Starrr I was speaking of other fans etc. Maybe my first statement came across as sarcastic , but you turned it negative by telling me to STFU. I guess I inadvertently offended you, but did you ever hear two wrongs don't make a right or about being the bigger person? I know this is only a youtube comment section, but I guess I'll take that role and take my leave. Sorry. Bye.
I went on a musical journey last night with lyriel as a starting point and went from there listening to female fronted metal for a while. it was all good until I came across this video. I have to admit I laughed when she did her 80's style voice intro. I thought it was cheesy. then it didn't take long (about 10 seconds)to realize I had stumbled across something very special. this womans incredible voice literally brought me to tears and sent a tangible and powerful surge down my spine. I went to see if she could pull it off live in another vid and good god christ she is even arguably better live if you can believe it! I have been a metalhead for 35 years or more and have not had music release endorphins like this song did. it was like a very powerful drug. I can't get enough and I hope they continue to make music like this. this band is great and write great songs but they simply would not be the same without her. she is tthe real deal. on par with the best! amazing and spine tingling!
I'm all for female fronted bands, especially metal bands. I enjoy symphonic metal, many of which have female vocalists. Truth be told though, most female vocalists cannot do these kinds of vocals. I think the only female vocalist that comes close to Brittney's ability (this is after only hearing this one song, mind you) is the powerhouse from Otep.
Raigh DarkHawk
One of the best Angela from Archenemy
Alamin Shuva I'll have to give a listen. I honestly don;t know how males even do these types of vocals, let alone females, with their softer voices.
Raigh DarkHawk Battle Beast;))
You actually cried?
Question: What do you get when you combine a pageant beauty who won the singing talent event, the leftover set from Mad Max and some metal dudes who still want to jam?
Answer: You get some awesome freakin' music!
5:35 whats the name of that song pls ?

(from Brazil)
Saw them this past December, She's studio quality and effortless singing this song live. So happy to have seen them.
She sounded BETTER live singing this song over half an hour into their set! One of the craziest shows I've ever seen
FUCK this band is so damm good. Why on earth are they not more exposed the composition, the technique, the insane vocals are seriously God tier wtf.
Help them out and post it on ur Facebook
Because at least in America the only thing they promote anymore is crossover billboard type music and rap
@@biffbutkus8185 FACTS so damn sad
In the 80’s they would’ve been massive. Who cares though. Huge fanbases are overrated
I wasn't expecting much in the way of vocals thinking it was going to be some more talentless operatic style singing like in most female fronted metal bands. But, this was awesome! Great voice and musicians. Reminds me of Helloween, sort of. :)
+griffinmatter I assume you are refering to the nowadays female-lead metal bands, that sometimes are even straight forward copies of older ones, ain't right?
Anyway, yeah... I gotta say I feel the same. It was a freaking nice surprise when I first heard them. They remind me of many other "classic" heavy metal bands too.
DrakosLord Exactly. I've checked out so many female fronted bands, and most are terrible. Nothing really exciting to offer except their looks. :)
***** Yeah... that's how the industry works, my friend. Some places more, some places less, but at the end of the day no genre is really saved. Sooner or later, that way to do things reaches.
+griffinmatter When you say terrible you better not be refering to Halestorm, Evanescence, Otep, In this Moment, Flyleaf, or Within Temptation. If so get your hearing checked, because you must have too much shit in your ears.
+griffinmatter Also don't forget Eluveitie. Most of these bands have topped the charts with one or more songs, beating mainstream bands.
Firts time listening female power metal ..... it's so amazing
Welcome
Update us. What other female metal vocalists have you got to experience?
Ah, what about Elisa Martin's Dark Moor ? 😊
Power metal is just amazing regardless of who is singing my dude.
@@OVELLIX Tsk. Thats not the same style. Metal yes - power metal - no.
I’d love to see Unleash The Archers on tour with bands like Arch Enemy, Epica, Hammerfall, Nightwish, Powerwolf, Sabaton, Within Temptation, etc.
I usually quite dislike songs with growling, it's just not my thing but in this song they are perfectly placed. I can't say I like a lot of their songs (since growls arent really my thing) but this one really stands out. It's epic, badass, really awesome work by band. Been headbanging and singing along to it for days now and there's no sign of stopping soon XD
blazejecar I thought the same thing, growls are usually a turn off for me. But this song, this band for that matter, uses them well.
cfbigmac1 yep, they use growls quite well, this song really stands out for me though xd Another band whose growls I enjoyed is "brezno", they use them perfectly in nearly every song, since they make it connected to the lyrics. Apart from "brezno" and this band, there's barely any songs with growl vocals that I would enjoy
blazejecar I too dislike growls with the exception of the one and only Opeth
MetalAlchemist8105 Too bad they switched to prog rock and he doesn't growl any longer. They used to be one of my favorite bands. I can't stand the last two albums. Bleh.
Gogz Thunder That's so bad, I liked the prog rock damnation, but I didn't even listen the last album when i found out the direction they were heading, I kinda miss songs like the night and the silent water or ghost of perdition, hope one day they return to basics
It's good to see that the guy who directed Tupac's "California Love" found work again.
Harv72b Nice👌
Harv72b are you shitting me?
haha
George Miller?
Ha ha, that's exactly what this video reminded me of when I first saw it! Either that or Mad Max.
My vocal chords are starting to hurt just listening to this song. Incredible talent!
This is such a well shot music video. It totally does justice to how magnificent the song is. UTA are incredibly talented on every level. Every band member more than holds their own, and the songwriting/arrangement just keep getting better and better with each album. Best metal band of the last decade imo.
Dayum... the pipes on this woman.
its good to know great 80's metal hasn't died. her voice is amazing!!!
They look like they were having so much fun filming this video and playing that song. Wholesome content 🥲🖤
Honestly this song, still has the motivational feel it gives to me after 4 years. It's *chef's kiss*
Poor drummer, all alone in the desert! Left behind!
Before you get all sappy for him, he is Brittany's life partner. Feeling better yet? Nah, me either LOL.
FireoftheGreeks truth.
He and Brittany found each other in college and the two of them together founded the band.
I like how your only concern is the fact that the drummer got left behind
Drummers like that know no fear. Nor thirst or sunburn.
life partner ? same as Husband? :P ;)
I lost the count the times I'm watching this masterpiece
+M Morais
I think I'm up to 20 in a week!
Omg lol. I think I beat you
Love this. Play it all the time. I would love to see them live!
My honest first reaction to this song was to laugh with joy for 5 minutes straight. Bravo.
Okay so after years of listening and commenting, I have the official final verdict. I have heard all the greats. From 1979's Judas Priest, to Maiden to Battle Beast, Wind Rose, Within Temptation and Nightwish to name only a few. This song, Tonight We Ride, is now OFFICIALLY the greatest song ever recorded. There. It's done.
I thank thee, oh great Jim, the music scholar, from distant lands of Maine
[Verse 1]
Hold on to this moment for all time, this is the night we ride
I hear them calling our name
Raising the flag and fueling the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll find my destination; don’t tell me where to go
I won’t give in this time, feel the power
Not this time, scream it louder
[Chorus]
Voyage o’er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
No regrets, just live for the fight
Renounce your precious lives and ride
Take hold of your steel chariot; though ours is gone, lives on
Rise to the challenge or fall
Nothing will hinder our rise to the call
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ll find our destination, can’t tell us where to go
We won’t give in this time, feed the hunger
Not this time, growing stronger
[Chorus]
Voyage o’er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
(We’ll find our destination; let’s go)
[Chorus]
Voyage o’er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
[Outro]
Fly, redeem tonight
Destroy, renounce your precious lives and ride
Thanks for posting man. Appreciate it.
Gentleman, scholar, etc.
After all these years i can finally understand what she says, thank you man !
Everytime she says the first part i hear bob esponja
By all the Gods, This is absolutely breathtaking! By far one of the most amazing songs I've heard in a long while!
I listened to this while riding my bicycle
I became the ghost Rider.
I know this comment is over a year old but dude one of the best comments ive seen 🤘 I can just imagine a guy riding his bike on a nice sunday afternoon and suddenely bursting into flames
well played :D
The perfect comment doesn’t exi-
Huh I’ll have to try that
should have become the night riderrrrrr
For this masterpiece, Unleash the Archers will most assuredly ride eternal in Valhalla, shiny and chrome. Witness them.
I just discovered this band 20 minutes ago and now I'm scared about how much I like them in such a short amount of time, woah
+Justin Laidlaw This sums up my current experience quite succinctly.
her voice is so powerful it shook the foundations of my house!
Seriously how am I just discovering this band?!
She strikes like thunder, electrifing my soul every time she sings.
0:50 the Gods of Power metal are smiling in approval!
It's nice to see new bands playin like 80's bands style.
No it's just power metal
Dumbass you know nothing. what he's tryin to say is that the band PLAYS with same passion and energy the 80's band once had, nothing about the way it sounds.
AsgaardSon A.S. exactly
Reminds me of Manowar with her vocals tbh
Raymond Legorreta I was thinking more Mercyful Fate
Why you even watching this video if you're going to dislike it? What's wrong with those foos. Best power metal on the planet 🤘
Just returning here after 5 years since discovering this unbelievable band with this video and it still hits just as hard. And they only get better with each album. I've yet to see them live, I was supposed to do so last week with Dragonforce, but fkn' Covid had other plans.
5:35 whats the name of that song pls ?
she has the whitest teeth I've ever see in metal lol
The entire song is just a colgate ad
Bleached by the sun and all that sand blowing around.
Everything in Canada is white, come on!
her teeth are as white as I'd like europe to stay. Shoutout to Brittney's dentist!
blazejecar Varg is that you?
I've got a feeling these guys just saw mad max.
+Pineapple Farmer There is nothing wrong with that. IMO.
Or chainsaw'ed Mad Max. I'd still recommend getting out of the way before you're seen.
Hands down and without question the greatest band ever in the history of recording
How the hell did it take me so long to listen to this band?? Friggin amazing
i know what you mean i saw this band at least 5 years ago and started listing to them last year
Welcome and enjoy
5:35 whats the name of that song pls ?
well i was listening to i believe band called vivaldi metal [awesome stuff but was searching for vivaldi Italian composer whose also awesome] and ran into her recently through them cause i think she worked with them.
Damn. Her pipes are wicked.
Connor Quintana not how I would have worded it but yes, they are
The Turtle Lord My thoughts exactly.
I listen to this song several times a day. I suffer from pretty crippling depression and don't really find joy in anything anymore. It breaks my heart when I pick up my Bass or Guitar and have no passion to play. This song no this band has been one of the few things I've still loved. I don't remember hearing another song that hit me quite as much as this one since I first heard Metallica's Master of Puppets when I was a kid. \,,/
Alntaro Bloodmoon I really hope you’re doing better. I’m in that place now and it crushes me hearing when someone else experiences the feeling.
Depression is a sucky thing man, it actually took my tag team partner & little brother Korey from me. He was into music too. But if I can help in anyway. Whether it's to talk or just listen. I don't mind man. Anything to help u out, hopefully stuff gets better. I draw so I understand how emotions mess things up sometime s, I had crippling depression. I overcame it by trusting my Lord & savior Jesus & the postive ppl around me. Actually, I love this sort of music, as u can tell by my pro pic which is a mini anine me drawing of me. Stay strong thou buddy, I challenge u to keep doing what u love,that's music.
Hope it has gotten better for you and that you've found your passion again.
I know it's not much, but I hope you get better soon!
I feel this on a personal level
My heart goes out 2 u
Holy shit man, this is transcendental. Love the road warrior aesthetic too
Brittney Hayes = Legendary singer in Metal!
The notes she can hit are insane!
\m/ \m/
Great power metal!!! I wish America embraced metal like Europe does. I'd love to turn on radio and hear it not suck because bands like this were on it.
i wish we do too
steve arbogast plenty of Americans are into metal
Jericho Freman Not like this tho
King Grimlock what do you mean
The most metal bands we ever hear on the radio on the west cost of NA is 5 Finger Death Punch or Avenged Sevenfold, And even then, you'd never hear them on the mainstream stations. The only 2 rock songs I've heard play on the radio at work in past two months were Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirit and the Foo Fighter's - The Pretender. Those were probably the best 8 minutes at work in the past 2 months....
She could kill herself singing with that range while constant tour.
She won't kill herself, but if she has a poor technique she won't able to sing like that for very long.
They have been around for several years, and they've toured quite a lot in the past (they only recently got signed, but they've been around long enough to have released 2 albums and an EP independently) I'm fairly certain she won't injure her voice. Pretty sure she had some level of training.
I'm sure she has, even if she trained herself by studying singers like Bruce Dickinson. There is some operatic technique in that style, which most people can not do THIS WELL, even with years of practice. Girl's got it.
She was in a choir so she's good she had training
Oh cool. Just started listening to them so I did not know that. Thanks :)
I played this band for my family. And both my parents immediately were like no. My sister and her boyfriend like it.
I recently discovered UTA and Brittany Slayes. This girl has an extraordinary vocal range. And boy is she gorgeous. Just stunning.
5:35 whats the name of that song pls ?
It should take you to the video for whatever song that is if you click on it
Brittany used to be such a quiet kid, but something was building inside her, like a haduken fireball waiting to be unleashed...now she's beyond thunder dome, a battle hardened road warrior, destined for greatness.
insane intro vocals, who man do this vocals nowadays, who is the halford of our time??
sick , just made me cry....
me2 man!!!I was cryin while she was screaming!!!
Nick McMahon
I know, right! xD
Plus,she is so beautiful without tons of make up!!!
And with attitude.
I'm sorry to tell ya but Halford's time is almost completely behind us. You're talking relief, recruits, successors... I'm sorry. I'm afraid that period has come and gone.
You can only hope to find the odd little gem and that the industry won't just copy/paste every awful ''barely popular'' success they have and turn it into an ocean of sub-standard similar bands as the face of what we once loved... Oh wait... I think we're already getting there. Call me a nostalgic old fart but 20-year old metal and 30 or 40-year rock was the epitome of frickin' music. I'll die a happy nostalgic old fart. :)
