![Feuerschwanz - "Kampfzwerg" | ROADIE REACTIONS [FIRST TIME EVER LISTENING]](/img/n.gif)
It's such a metal mindset to be like "aaah noooo, I'm being sucked into a space portal - wait, gotta get my solo in"
FLOOR IS NUMBER 4 OR 5 ON MY LIST OF FEMALE FRONT METAL SINGERS..
When I saw this the first time, I was thinking ‘Something weird is happening … Oh, that guitar solo _really_ triggered the vortex.’
"I don't know if this is going to turn into a story...?"
Oh, sweet summer child....
Also fun fact; the janitor at the end was the director himself. Awesome reaction. "Faster Than Light" is another fantastic song off this album with a music video, and an earlier song where you really get to hear Brittney belt is "Tonight we Ride"
Hahahahaha. No way. Didn't know that. Thanks for the info!
@@TankTheTech - Just right I think, he was the one who told everyone what to do the video and all that so he should also be the one who clean up the mess afterwards 😁
Cheers / B.
@@mbo191 well the band can't clean up after being sucked into a wormhole 🤷🏻♂️😏
@@justdave9610 - 😂
Their song "Tonight We Ride" on the "Time Stands Still" album really shows Brittney's vocal power.
Tonight We Ride is the song that really pulled me in. What an amazing video too! Tank, you need to do this one. You would have to watch it twice you’d be head banging so much.
@@Flagg795 sadly she could t do the vocals live for a few months based on vids I’ve seen.
UTA are quickly becoming a national treasure.
As they should be.
Unleash the Archers has a song called "Northwest passage" that sounds like an anthem, metal style. It's so cool that the harmonies are so nice.
EDIT; I just watched Britney's video on the MV of this song where she explained "Northwest passage" is a cover song written by Stan Rogers, and is apparently known as Canada's second national anthem, so it makes sense it sounds like one...
"The Wind that Shapes the Land"
A masterpiece of a crescendo to a two-album saga. Can't recommend a reaction for this enough, but take your time if you're following the story, cheers!
The track before that, Faster than Light, where they're flying through space, throwing fucking planets at each other... fuck yeah.
CAN'T GET ENOUGH of the progression and build up that is "Return to Me", "Soulbound", "Faster Than Light" and ending with "The Wind that Shapes the Land". I can see the story in my mind like if i was watching a movie. i especially LOVEEEEE the part in "Faster Than Light" where the music sounds like explosions and you can just imagine the chase through planets exploding! fuck that is epic. ok I'm done :D
@@rabidelfman yes! i picture the same thing. so fucking epic.
"Feel the ground, crashing all around
Fight to fan the flame, ignite the battle rage
Tear the sky, watch the boulders fly
As the mountain scape, crumbles in her wake"
I paint such a vivid picture in my mind when i hear this haha black sky, lightning surrounding her, the earth splitting down to the depths of hell, geysers of lava, meteors falling in all directions
@@Z_TPI hell yes
"We've came to rock and kick ass Dormammu!" was the feeling I got lol.
Plus, it's confirmed, Brittney's voice is so powerful she's able to break the bonds of reality.
Hell yeaaahhh. UTA is mind blowing good. This album is fantastic
Listen to this album several times a week.
I love Brittany almost as much as Floor. I found these guys through Nightwish reactions seeing their name in the comments.
I went the other way. I got into Nightwish (and Jinjer) after watching a UtA reaction video and then checking out some more videos on the same channel.
Same here..........🤘🏻🤘🏻
Simone was always one of my first. Back in 06 but my 1st was Christina
They are some absolute power houses 🔥
Abyss is a continuation of the story their Apex album tells. So you've got 2 albums to listen to!! Britt has put out videos on youtube breaking down the story in the songs, you should check them out!
3 albums. Time Stands Still is awesome as well.
Edit: not part of the Apex/Abyss story, but just an awesome album that deserves recognition.
"Are they gonna be performing for Galactus?" Hahaha, nice reference
Brittany Hayes' voice is absolutely insane. I absolutely love how much power she has, and she is easily my favorite female metal vocalist.
Apex and Abyss are my favourite albums of the 2000s. These albums have reignited my passion for music. It does help to listen to the songs in order to get the context of the story, but there are so many killer tracks on these albums that you can enjoy them individually as well. Good reaction, Tank!
Given your line of work, you'd really enjoy their cover of Northwest Passage. The idea behind the cover was basically "this old folk song sounds a lot like being on tour."
Yes please react to Northwest Passage 🤘😎🤘 Love from Sweden and the Sabaton town Falun. Speaking of Sabaton, how come you haven't react to their song Carolus rex yet 🤔
This was filmed just after we went into COVID lockdown here in BC. As I understand it, during filming there were just the four band members and the director (he has the cameo sweeping up at the end) in the building.
The more I listen to this song, the more I freaking love it. The guitar riff during the chorus reminds me of the classic Helloween and Gamma Ray sound, and that's always a plus on my book. I'll be honest, the first time I heard UTA, I wasn't all that impressed with Britt's voice but she's definitely grown on me. And damn, she has some great sustain on those high notes. To top it all off, she seems to be genuinely friendly when interacting with fans and youtube reactors (on top of being a huge sci-fi and fantasy nerd).
Love the video, dude. The more I listen to them, the more I realize they sound like a mixture of Power Metal and NWOBHM. They're all incredibly talented, and Soulbound or Faster Than Light definitely need to be next.
yes. that's what makes them cool in my opinion. and in their older stuff there was also a big mix of death and melo death in their music. :)
This was so nice to see pop up on my notifications just after watching Nightwish Wednesday. I'm not going to say do "Unleash the Archers Thursdays", but I am going to mention it, just so that it ticks away at the back of your mind :). P.S. False Walls by UTA is one you should definitely check out.
Scott: I have 'stache wisdom
Tank: Bij, I have beard wisdom. Have you gone through all my Tank Facts? :)
Hahahaha
@@TankTheTech Song Request: Wind Rose: We Were Warriors (official video from napalm just dropped 12 hrs ago)
Italian heavy metal band who sings about Lord Of The Rings.
"I really like her makeup in this" Awaits the "Roadie Reacts Makeup Mondays, Lancomes new lipstick line first time seeing" :D
I'm always impressed by the amount of sheer awesome drumming that Scott is able to conjure out of that tiny kit.
Does he play with that kit live, though? It is a music video, after all.
@@TankTheTech the last time they played a (sort of) live show was the virtual record release show they did for abyss. I checked a couple of screenshots I took from that, and it's not exactly the same kit. but it's very similar in setup and size: ibb.co/mDdrfJc
So I'd say this music video represents his kit pretty well. definitely not as over-the-top as other bands in the genre.
@@TankTheTech looking back at some pictures from the last time I saw them live(Apex tour), yes his kit is that small
Listen to "Test Your Metal". I'll never recommend enough this song, has an old school vibe, but it's a fucking banger, and Brittney's vocals are INSANE.
One of my favorites from their stuff before Apex.
I second this tank! Make it happen!!!
agreed!!
Test your metal is a strait up butt kicker. Love it 😆
Very classic metal song
I was really hoping I could beat you to the point on Andy's guitar being his handmade custom from Vigilant Guitars! Damn you got there in editing before I had the chance haha. Amazing reaction once again Tank, I'm absolutely loving your channel and your knowledge on the gear. I've actually met the whole band of Unleash the Archers twice at two different gigs in London and they're some of the nicest people you'll ever come across. Brittney is unbelievably humble and appreciative of her fans and Grant is so full of positive energy and always hyped up! I've been a massive fan of theirs since before they were signed. Keep up the great work man. Tonight We Ride is a great one for a follow up UTA reaction.
Abyss is the Awakening equivalent in the story about the Immortal. But this time, instead of being awoken in his mountain, he wakes up on a spaceship confused, wondering why he isn't in his mountain lair.
To stick true with the story, I'd say listen to Shadow Guide(chp2) and The Matriarch(chp3) on your own time, and if you like, read the lyrics from those songs, as well as Awakening (chp1). Then come in with a banger reaction to Cleanse The Bloodlines (chp4). It has an epic video and the song is epic.
Enough of my Pitter Patter. This hoser approves 🤣
I have listened to this song and album probably 50 and 15 times through respectively since they came out and I still am not over how good it is. I LOVE how they are bringing back traditional power metal vibes while keeping it fresh. Also they are all great people and love interacting with their fans. You should see if you can get Brittney or Andrew (or Grant and Scott!) on your channel, or play some games with them on twitch!
Love the Letterkenny shirt. Canada everywhere today.
Yes! Glad someone spotted it. Haha
@@TankTheTech ferda
I came here looking to see if anyone else had commented on it. Letterkenny is so damn funny.
Ferdaaaaaaaaa
@@TankTheTech Fore check...
So, if you don’t want to listen to the entire Apex album, Brittney did a track by track for both albums to explain the stories, but I’d go Cleanse The Bloodlines next from Apex, that gives a good chunk of backstory for the album. This album they mentioned using 7 strings for the first time to get a different sound for this album
I have a friend who is a cosmetologist, and she would be very happy to hear you compliment make up. The Wind that Shapes the Land is awesome btw, and Legacy which was the last video they put out is also amazing. Those may be the best two songs they have ever written because they interweave so many genres and influences so seamlessly into both songs.
Goddaaaaaaammmmnnn! Thanks for introducing me to this band Tank! They f***ng rule!
As a wise man once said: "I love the smell of napalm in my metal".
Also, I really like their music (surprisingly enough since it's a subgenre I don't normally listen to much), they kinda look like they'd like a campaign of DND once in a while though
If you go to the Napalm Records page, you can find videos of Brittney doing a track by track explanation of the story that Apex and Abyss tells. I believe each album gets three videos.
Their song Test Your Metal is outside the albums storyline and just good ol' fashioned metal. I think you would love it.
Ignea - Alga (official video of this has lots of gear too), The 69 eyes (anything from them), Kobra and the Lotus have lots of good songs, Red Baron by Sabaton, Semblant - What Lies Ahead, Ancient Bards - Though my veins (music video also has gear) and ofc more powerwolf
5:58 Brittney's voice so powerful it rips open the spacetime continuum.
(I'm 3 months late so I'm sure someone else said it already, but I had to say it again.)
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
Cry into the chasm ahead, into to the sky never ending, although
Time will tell if I'm worthy of it, a future of final transcending, alone
I had one of those studded guitar straps way back in the 80`s. You can`t find them anymore.
People have mentioned all of the UtA essentials, so I'll toss in the 1st song I heard from them: Time Stands Still. I randomly clicked on it late one night after I fell down the UA-cam hole and it's been a great year of music since then.
Whatever you listen to from them, it'll be great. You might also head to their channel and watch the videos of Brittney going through the story of both albums.
Pure fucking metal.. I know Arch Enemy coined that phrase, but that definitely applies to Unleash The Archers too. Everything about them is cheesy, powerful, and technically adept at their craft. I would also recommend the music video for Scardust - Gone. Incredibly under the radar band who have great musicianship and an incredible female singer. She does both clean and death vocals equally well. They have a new album coming out October 30th.
Cheers and have a great weekend!
Another cool thing that Brittney does on her own channel is she goes into depth on what each of the songs represent, and their part in the story. I think she's doing the Abyss songs right now, but I'm not sure.
As far as songs go, I'm not sure if htey have music videos but I love; Shadow Guide, The Matriarch, Coward's Way, and Clense the Bloodlines from Awakening. And Through the stars from Abyss, and Soulbound.
And naturally Tonight We Ride music video haha.
Yeah, Apex from 2017 is the start of the story and Abyss concludes it. It's a fantasy story about a being called The Immortal who lives in a mountain and is cursed to do the bidding of whoever awakens him. The Matriarch is the antagonist of the story and awakens The Immortal and tasks him with murdering her four sons so she can use their blood in a ritual to gain eternal life. That's the basic plot and the songs have more details to flesh everything out across both albums. So it's obviously recommend to react to the songs in order, starting with Apex and going through it until you end it with Abyss' final track.
If you want more Unleash the Archers that is not tied to this double-album story, then check out these songs:
"General of the Dark Army"
"Tonight We Ride"
"Test Your Metal"
"Northwest Passage"
"Dawn of Ages"
Thanks Tank!
Fun coming back to rewatch these after some time has passed. The new bass player is Nick Miller, who was their touring bassist for the last few years and was made an official full member of the band last year. Super talented dude who also plays guitar in a band called First Fragment.
I know it's not in order, but they just released a lyric video for "Legacy" off the new album.
Been on a binge with your videos for about 2 hours now thanks to Hypa Hypa, lol. As a Canadian, love that Letterkenny shirt. On topic, Unleash The Archers are fantastic live and I've had the pleasure of playing with them once or twice. It was in a tiny 110 cap dank bar and was amazing.
Thanks again for a great video! I never gave Unleash the Archers a chance, until an other reactor did a video on Legacy. I've been listening to the Abyss album ever since. The title song Abyss (and I always listen to it together with the first track too, as it gives Abyss a nice build-up), Legacy and Soulbound are my favorites for now. I'd really love to see your reaction on Legacy too!
UTA is always a win.
And they are the authors of one of my favorite guitar riffs of all times : the one at the ending of "Ripping through Time".
That riff, man, that riff. If you ever wanna check some of their lesser known songs on your own time, that could be a good pick. :)
I also recommended a few from Demons of the AstroWaste, but i dont think he has seen them yet
UNLEASH THE TANKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk gald you having so much fun with these bands =D
When this song was first released, 5yo wanted to know where everyone disappeared to. I directed her to "Tonight We Ride". Of course the storyline is inaccurate and raises more questions if so (like, why did they change clothes???), but 'that's what happens when you get lost in space'.
Lol cool parent move
I think Like 95% of what Napalm puts out is just so fucking awesome! Unleash the Archers is such a cool band with an awesome sound! Keep rockin’ it out! ❤️🤘🏻
Gonna keep recommending until I see either one of these!
AD Infinitum - Marching on Versailles
or
Rage of Light - I can, I will
And also, keep up the great work, love the videos!
Never heard of them till I watched your reactions to them Tank, what an band I love her voice especially her lower register singing. Great video too! thanks for introducing me to them. This is what I love about your channel exposure to ne music🤘👍
🤘 So happy to hear that!
Great video tank! On the Bass situation, after they had a few bass players leave right after an album (Brittney jokingly said they could predict the post-album tour conversation to go "I'm broke and my girlfriend hates me, I'm out...") they've been in a situation where they don't want to just add a bass player and potentially affect the mesh of the band, which is super tight atm, unless they are absolutely sure it's THE person for the future. Combine that with I believe Nick Miller, their touring bassist (Who is awesome, saw him in '18 on their tour) living in Eastern Canada while they're in the West, they just don't see it as a reason to rush the decision.
Awesome reaction. This new album has seriously been on repeat for the better part of a month now. Everyone is giving you great info on where to go next with these guys and the story behind these last two albums. Can’t wait for more UTA!
Unleash the Archers are playing the best power metal out there now. You can’t change my mind.
Can't believe "Cleanse the Bloodlines" hasn't been reacted to yet. More mid paced and heavy. Absolute banger!
You gotta check out their song "Cleanse the bloodlines" also they have two new songs "soulbound" and the funny "Faster than light"
General of the Dark Army! It's a great song, I listen to it every day!
The album Apex and the Album abyss are telling a story of a character that they call the immortal so to get the whole story and know what's going on you have to listen to all songs on both albums
Another great reaction Tank !!!! Anything by UTA is appreciated. Give 'er !!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Check out UTA's song "Test Your Metal". It's one of their older songs but just gives the old school Metal vibe. ✌🤘
All their new stuff is fantastic. As is the Apex album. I actually also recommend an older track, Time Stands Still. I know what you mean about Brittney’s make up too!
Also check out : -
Kalidia - Frozen Throne
Serenity - Set The World On Fire
Wind Rose - To Erebor
Frozen Crown - I Am The Tyrant
🙂🤘🏻
Abyss as song gots more in focus again. Thanks for that
Damn is right! If I whip my head around like that now at my age I'll end up in traction...haha...Great reaction! Super interesting break down on the gear. Never seen that in a reaction vid before. Yep Brittney shows off greater range at the high end in "Tonight We Ride" and I can't get enough of "Legacy". As a sci-fi/fantasy nerd, too, the story set to power metal check all the boxes for me.
Nick Miller actually joined the band as their permanent bassist after their latest US tour.
Unleash the Archers are really playing way up there! Love the facts you're adding to the videos.
Keep it going! And may I suggest Orden Ogan? "Gunman" or "In the Dawn of the AI" will kick your hat off.
funny fact, the last guy in the video, cleaning the floor, is actually the producer of the video.
So ive watched alot of reactions to UtA and other things and you are one of the most entertaining reactors, plus the gear breakdowns and "Tank Facts" add alot to the videos. I think im going to stick around
Thanks man! 🤘
YES!! UTA! Finally!! Quickly becoming one of my all time favorite bands! I would suggest "Faster Than Light" or "Cleanse The Bloodlines" next. Barely any gear in those videos though, this band is extremely story-oriented in their music and videos. LOVE the reaction and the intense headbanging!!
Unleash the Archers is one of my fav bands currently. I suggest you to react to: General of the Dark Army and Tonight we ride (last one is gonna blow your mini with the high pitch of Britney’s voice). Great vid, man
Female RONNIE James DIO for sure just like Dino Jelosic is the new male DIO.
Someone said a powerhouse heavy metal version of Lady Gaga With that tone and power. To me in this song she reminds me more of Stephen Perry from that era of Journey, as does this entire song... And on this album the intro song reminds me of STYX !!!!
These guys are awesome and every one of their albums kicks ass.
Oh how I’ve been waiting for this :)
Unleash The Archers... one HELL of a band.... Can confirm!!
Great Reaction Dear!! Great Reaction!!! Welcome to the Unleash the Archers World!!! The best of World!
The "Space Lord" is actually The Matriarch from their album Apex. In the UTA lore shes like if Galactus and The Emperor were combined.
YEEES! I’m so happy you got back to Unleash the Archers! Thank you! I hope you’ll also get to Soulbound and Legacy because, is awesome as this song is, I think those are even better. Soulbound features some great screams from Grant. I love their use of the synthesizer throughout this album; it’s an “easy” way to give everything a spacey, science fiction vibe.
I know Chase Carneson listened to a lot of this album already, but I hope you will get the chance to perhaps do a double reaction with him while listening to more of Unleash the Archers.
It's called Abyss, into the abyss. That's what happens in the video
Exactly on her being the daughter of DIO, as that was my first impression, too. And it's not just her tone or deeper sound..... it is also not only just her power but it is also her mannerisms, her movements, her timing, and her passion. And the way she pronounces the letter T at the end of certain words, more so on other songs where you hear the word night and fight and Light.
I love your Reactions, ARE REALLY COOL
General of the Dark Army is another epic song of theirs.
They really are on a roll with this album. Phenomenal stuff. It's nice to see a band to finally get recognized for years of hard work.
Let's get at 'er! Gotta listen to Tonight We Ride but UTA next my dude!
So happy a few people are getting the t-shirt reference. Haha
Enjoying your mix of metal enthusiasm and gear insights. More UTA would be welcome. Tonight We Ride, Faster Than Light and Northwest Passage should all be on your list.
Had this album on repeat since it came out. So damn good! Hope you dive in to more UTA soon!!! 🤘
Well, this was good timing. I'm actually wearing my UTA Abyss t-shirt today. Great reaction!
I'm wearing my UtA shirt today, too. Mine is just the band name on a black t-shirt, I usually don't really like having too much going on on my t-shirts, but that's just personal preference.
@@mn6334 Got two UTA shirts from my wife as late Father's Day presents so I can't complain. :)
hi tank. "faster than light!" from the new UTA album is a great song with a very entertaining video.
Can see the Dio vibes for sure dude. Personally I think she has a lot of influence from all those classic metal powerhouse vocalists in general. She can smash Judas Priest Halford esque tones, but can also give off even some Bruce Dickinson vibes at times like in awakening I hear some of that styling with her vibrato. At the end of the day, Brittney Slayes will continue to slay! ^_^ 🤘
Love the pop up video style! Definitely love UTA 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
"If it's napalm it's probably gonna be good." Funny how that phrase can lead to very different situations...
Hahahaha
UTA!!!!! SOULBOUND, FASTER THAN LIGHT, TEST YOUR METAL, GENERAL OF THE DARK ARMY. NORTHWEST PASSAGE
Tonight we ride!
And Time Stand Still for the ending cameos of Halford, Mustaine, and Iommi.
From memory, they had a revolving door of bassists for a while and when the last guy parted ways, they decided to pretty much drop the spot to prevent any further creative conflicts.
"General of the Dark Army" Heavy and raw from a very early album.
Ok I’m late to commenting. But no one else appreciates that he wore a Letterkenny shirt to react to the Canadian band?? Lol love your reactions and UTA is def on of my top 3 bands. Keep on killin it man!
🤘🤘🤘 Done intentionally. Hahaha
Yes! Finally some more UtA. Always good to hear Brittney Slay (ba dum tss)
Dat pun though. Haha. Good one
Tank: I wonder who the new bass player is?
Me: lmfao
Love the reaction btw. If you really wanna hear more of Brittney's vocal range, you should check out Tonight We Ride. Faster than Light and Legacy would also be phenomenal places to continue.
Edit: Just saw the end, and if you're planning on actually going through everything from the concept albums in order as reactions, then the next one you'd want to cover is Shadow Guide off of their album Apex. Although I don't believe that one has a lyric/music video.
The Bass player part made me chuckle aswell
You need to check out "Faster Than Light" from them. Lots of great playing and vocals on that one. A personal favorite of theirs for me.
Really can't recommend "tonight we ride" enough. It's really the song/video that really got me into UTA and now they're one of my absolute favorites
How awesome!! 😃😃👌🏼🔥 I got this song on my brain a few days ago! Again, you are awesome man!! 🇳🇴👏🏼👏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️😃 Starting to think you are reading my mind 🙈🙈😅🔥👌🏼👌🏼
Nice! I was hoping you would come back to UTA. I have probably watched the Awakening reaction 10+ times. I wish I could go to concerts again, but at least my last one was UTA with Dragonforce just a few days before everything was cancelled.
Can't wait for the Tank's makeup tech videos, I can't really picture how what Britney is wearing would go with with the beard.
😂😂😂
