She should write a dungeons and dragons campaign! That'd be epic.
It would be an awesome backdrop for a start.
see , I thought the same! someone get this guy a coffee ,we need to talk now 😂
@@LonelyJester @ikashibimauler @CFord5312 umm well, this is a few years later but I did it, I took the entire concept of Apex, Abyss and some other tracks from UtA and wrote a campaign that is currently being played by 6 people, not gonna lie, probably the most fun and interest we all have ever had playing D&D. The campaign takes the basic themes and aspects of the songs but I had to fill lots of lore and tweak some things to make it player friendly.
they did a fan one with the release of Abyss. Also working on a graphic novel of Apex and Abyss
And now, the band has their own D&D campaign based in the Apex world that they live stream on Twitch!
Concept albums are the best, everything flows so much better, lyrically and musically
who else has a crush on the slays !
I'm surprised this doesn't have more likes...
I want to play in a D&D campaign with her. I'm guessing she'd be an Elven Ranger.
Random Guy how was that disrespectful?
Random Guy Honestly I they are being respectful, Britney isn't one of those people who get by by looks, so most people admire her because of her personality and singing prowess. So honestly I think people are being respectful
Random Guy so are men just not allowed to be attracted to women anymore?
Nice Library.
I have pretty much all of these books on my Kindle, but I'm still feeling a little jelly. Kindle just can't compete with the feel of an actual paperback and that distinct smell of books.
That's one of things I was looking at. Black Company, Malazan, and A Song of Ice and Fire are all some of my favorites in that collection.
Молодцы! Специально не буду писать на английском. Кому нужно - поймет.
Hyperion!!!
Ron Hutchins I sensed it too
Brittney speaking: Calm, angelic, soothing.
Brittney singing: Warrior goddess w/ a specialty of two handed weaponry.
This video should be titled "8 Minutes of My Heart Melting".
In all seriousness, this shit sounds awesome, you guys just keep getting better. Can't wait to get this album.
I really love this explanation video. And I want Brittney to make this into a novel. Or a script for a movie.
I'm really digging that bookshelf.
ikr?
When she speaks her voice is so sweet compared to her singing voice!!! She is a singing Goddess!!! I love her voice sooooo much!!! 💖💖💖💖💖 She seems to be such a sweetheart!!! Please Unleash the Archers come to Monterrey, Mexico!!! Cannot wait for Apex!!!
Hey! I remember you from the comment section on Doro videos :D
stee1rat Hey!!! I love edgy female vocalists hahaha I think that's why!!! Have a great day!!! :)
x2
I met her. She is so nice and great full for her fans.
I'm going to play this album on Spotify during our Warhammer 40,000 and D&D games. Thank you, Archers.
Nice video. Loved the background. Also Brittney sounded so incredibly nerdy for such a hardcore singer.
Petter Lindal kek
she sings for a fantasy based power metal band, you don't think she would be a little nerdy?
Thank you Brittney for taking the time to go through the tracks for Apex and also Abyss. I just received those CDs today (7/2/21) and I am enjoying them even more, now that you have presented the storyline in detail. What a trip!
Love your sound!!! As an older metalhead, I definitely hear the influences of Maiden, Priest and of course, Queensryche!
Thank you!
Came for Brittney, stayed for the story (and Brittney :D)
How am i just now discovering this?!?! How is she so cool and nerdy, yet so freaking amazingly powerful as a singer!!! I am floored! Instant fan! All the players in this band are monsters. I can feel a deep rabbit hole opening up here!
Perfect idea! I wish more Metal bands with badass concept albums would do this. Love you guys! I am so stoked for this album.
It's a bloody amazing album. Her voice is even better than on Time Stands Still. I think this might be their best album yet. Also, every time she has a little nervous pause, I just want to hug her. Is that weird?
Apex is my favorite metal album of all time. I'm re-living the story as I get ready for part 2!
I love that you've decided to do this. The album is amazing, but to be able to put it into the exact context that the artists envisioned and see/hear the story play out from their perspective just puts it over the top. The only recommendation that I have is that you please do this for Demons of the Astrowaste as well. It is one of my all time favorite albums but I feel that some of the story becomes lost in translation. Thanks Brittany for another truly superb performance.
DEFINITELY looking forward to annoying the neighbours for a good month with Apex. You guys are a shining light for top tier music in the industry and I hope you get to keep doing what you love whenever you love doing it!! :)
Couldn't ask for a better birthday present. This album's gonna be epic \m/
Well... It seems that the gods of metal hasn't forgotten us. Can't wait the release of Apex!!
There's a degree of nerdiness required to attain truly epic metal, as exemplified by this video.
I have the vinyl, cd, and a shirt because i preordered it. This album kills, and I'm super glad that I have it already. I hope your next tour comes to the Phoenix area at some point. I know a whole crew of us that are chomping at the bit to see you guys live. Keep the metal coming!!!
6 months after getting this album and I'm still LOVING it.
I only recently came across this band and absolutely love them! So Awesome, music with a point and story behind it, keep it up.
James Pearson if you like concept bands check out Coheed and Cambria and Gloryhammer
Thanks, will do!
This would make a pretty epic movie
This was awesome! You seem so chill and it was so fascinating learning more about your storyline for this album. I can't wait for the new album! P.S. your library is rad!
dafuq
i had goose bumps and tears in my eyes when i listend to the awakening part
I just discovered your band on Spotify! and you instantly became one of my favorites! I love the overall theme of apex I think it's a stellar album, keep up the good work and I look forward to what you have in store in the future! and I hope you come to Washington! would love to see you guys play!
Cleanse The Bloodlines is one the most epic mission briefings I have ever heard.
aw seemed a bit nervous in this. keep making kick ass metal! \m/
subpar man Pretty crazy contrast with how she sounds in the songs.
Holy cow this is art from the beginning to the end :O
Just discovered the band and this album is awesome!
The "Apex" and Rhapsody Of Fire's last "The Eighth Mountain" literally "once again revitalized" my faith in the metal!
what a terrific library! Dark Tower above all . I can only appreciate you more! :)
Great band Great voice! Definitely gonna order this CD!
Sounds awesome!!! I look forward to your next video!!
I wish more bands would do this!! It’s so helpful understanding the music
I love this! Can't wait for the next one!
Im really excited for the record!
that library is amazing! well done!
Love your band !
Much love!
Two days to go...CAN'T WAIT!
I love that she did this! I'm sure we could get the story without it, but I think it will help us all to see what all went into the writing. It will help fans appreciate it that much more, and likely give us a better understanding and appreciation for all concept albums. I love this.
Yeah, the lyrics are really well written, easy to follow and not in the least bit confusing. Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward to what she has to say about the remaining tracks, especially the last two.
I will be there this Friday in B.C., looking forward to the show. Love the concept btw.
This was awesome!
The library! 😍😍😍 I love it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing! Cant wait to listen full album *___*
I'm soo stoked for this album ive been waiting and its almost here. I haven't been a follower until i found "Tonight We Ride". Since then I've been hooked on UTA. I just can't get enough. I love every sound this band has and Brittney's vocals are the perfect fit. \m/ Pre-ordered and waiting to hear the "Apex" Story.
Really cool idea of presenting an upcoming album. So Hyped!
This is really helpful for understanding the album's concepts. Thanks! (And sorry I'm so many years late in learning of UTA.) Amazing band, all around, especially Ms. Slayes.
This is a very good track by track, really clear and awesome. I really love this album.
OMG I didn't realize it came out on June 2nd, that's my birthday and this is my favorite band, must be a sign!!!!
She is a legendary patana, i've no words about her voice, power and outstanding vibrato. i'm in love, what a mencia!
You are awesome. Dawn Of Ages is still my favorite video/song. So simple but so enjoyable.
This looks amazing!!! I'm already hooked up on the story!!! I wanna know how this ends!!! By the way, loved your previous work also :) I knew years ago when I found General Of the Dark Army on youtube that you'll become huge!!!
Wish to see you someday live in Spain, till then, keep rocking Brittney!
A big big hug from Barcelona to all of you guys! :D
So! love the way you explain your vision of the album. Thanks for great hours of repeat eargasms 🐧 -JayJay
Its clear you felt uncomfortable when filming this, but you pushed through it like a boss.
I can't wait to listen to this album on repeat when it releases on Friday, its definitely shaping up to be some of your best work.
(Btw I preordered the $80 version as soon as I could and got number 62/100 :D)
I'm finding the whole concept really interesting. Looking forward to the remaining parts!
Saw your cast it was insightful and informative thank you for your new songs
She has glen cook on her shelf in the black company chronicles there is a character called the lady which sounds just like the matriarch.
im so hyped for this album
Saw the lyric vid for "Matriarch". I love the way you guys caught the feel of some of the really early 80's metal bands (pre-1983 breakout era) with that; in addition to what you do already for 'power metal' (post-83). That's really a lost art; no one attempts it much anymore, and it was huge here in Cleveland, OH. back then. Looking forward to getting the whole record soon!
This album sounds unreal... I cannot wait to experience the story!
If cleanse the bloodlines is anything to go by this is going to be my personal favourite album that you have done.
This whole story line gives me goosebumps, so nerdy and awesome
Love the album!
My vinyl of Apex just came in today !! so excited to put it on !m/
I just got mine :D 92/100, which #'d you get?
revenant3138 713 - it's the Gold Vinyl
lol Gang of Four Design Patterns right there in the background. Who's doing OOP design?
argentina loves you archers! please come! great album
Best album of 2017, she is absolutely amazing!
Playing some D&D with Slayes would be like a dream come true.
Btw, eyebrows on point.
My inner nerd is having a blast with this. I love the story that's written here, as well as the video's take on the tale. Excellent work!
Definitely going to get it ♥
After listening to all of y'alls music for so long I was completely unsurprised seeing the Hyperion series in your library. I'd love it if y'all would release a bigger logo patch so I can take the small one I have off and replace the Kreator one I have across my shoulders with it. I love y'alls music so much. Keep up the good work.
Que voz incrível essa cantora tambem ...\,,,/, parabéns, \,,,/
Thanks so much for this insight into your album. I wish more artists would do the same. Music is an experience, hopefully a shared experience. This type of dialog helps me to understand your music better.
Heard the album on wsou, I like it and saw a lot of what you explained from the start. awesome work.
Brittney, I know fantasy may sound alien and strange to others, but let's be honest, everyone watching this video is pretty familiar with epic fantasy concepts. Keep up the good work!
Damn you Canadians and your story Albums! And you are making me wait until D-Day for it. Dang it. Hurry up and come tour the SW US!
Keep up the good work !
Scott Lynch, RA Salvatore, King, Martin. some great taste in reading, sick.
Nice Dark Tower books! Can't wait to get my hands on the album
Been counting down the days until my pre-order arrives for weeks, cant fucking wait and loved the video and glad i had a chance to understand more about what exactly is going on in the album, Although the teasers are making the wait feel LOOOONG
Looking forward to the Calgary show!
The album is truly a beast.
purely epic
Love how they released the album on my birthday 😍
Love your albums.. :) Your voice is awesome, guitarist are sick! and drummer make some fuc*ing noise !
I want all the things from this new album. time to get another job xD jokes I'm super pumped. hope your next tour is near south ontario again! :D
Good on you babe. I love your voice. Can't wait to hear.
grettings from argentina!!!! aguante unlesh the archers!!!
Hell yeah, Y The Last Man. Loving that library.
what a contrast to her in-band screen presence! you're adorable and powerful all in one - you just sold an album and t-shirt 8D
The Dark Tower!? Yes please!!
I LOVE YOU!!!! :) She really is amazing and this album is the best they have ever done.
She is absolutely gorgeous!
Cook, Erikson, Martin...etc.....are on my book shelves, too.
After she finishes her career as a metal warrior this lady has a serious future as a fantasy literature prof.
