- BRAIN DUMP!
This one has been requested since the day of my channels birth. I shout a lot in this one so careful if you have your headphones in. I haven't mastered equalizing the audio yet. I look tired in my thumbnail. I changed the title from British girl to YAZ! What do you think? Will the algorithm ignore me?
How's your weekend going gang?

How to check if its power metal:
Does it Gallop?: Check
Ear Bleeding High Notes: Check
Is it shredtastic?: Check
Does it make you feel like a badass human being while you're sitting in a chair doing nothing with yourself like a loser?: Check
Yup, that's power metal.
I only have one criterion: Does it make me want to slay princesses and save dragons? Check.
Oh shit, I laughed so hard at that my gut hurts & I'm still wiping tears off my cheeks! Good one!
forgot to add- Does it make we want to wield a sword ? : Check.
That's the checklist that Brittney has said before in interviews.
that last one for sure 👍
Legend has it that Bruce Dickinson and Ronnie James Dio conjured a daughter of Metal. They bestowed upon her the name of Brittney Slayes, and that is what she does.
FACTS
add in Ian Gillian, and Geoff Tate
There are two types of people in the world:
Those who lose their mind at the bass lick at 8:41, and those who do not.
I wait for that every time I watch a reaction video to this.
it might be basic but its still amaizing.
I thought the second type was those that hadn't heard it yet?
It is fun and unexpected. But, it is not hard and it did not really sounded well at that part in the song. The second time you listen to the song you be better without it.
Yaz (before they start playing): "Oooh, this is intense!"
UTA fans: "Girl......."
UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Tonight We Ride! Official Video
Boooom
@@yazma2 Great!
Insane vocals by Brittney Slays....
Yes!
I wasn't into metal at all until earlier this year when I found Nightwish, Jinjer, Epica, Unleash The Archers, and so on... you should watch Northwest Passage, I think you might like that one, it's a bit different.
I used to looove metal when I was younger but I fell out of the metal world for a year or two. I'm reentering it's atmosphere now :)
@@yazma2 Where I grew up there was a very active divide between metal and electronic music, like an actual sub-culture rivalry, and I fell into the latter one. Its not like that anymore, thankfully, but the 90s were a crazy time 😅
wtf...are you me? i am you?...nearly same to me
Your comment made me cry tears of joy 👀 Greetings from The Netherlands
@@Lannisen Well, it's 2020 now and we have Eskimo Callboy.
They are from here in my hometown of Vancouver!(Victoria too, On the island) So awesome that a Canadian band from here is kicking ass in metal!
Oooo I’ve always wanted to go to Vancouver
It's a punishment for unleashing Bieber on the world dude.
But Darkthrone have a song called Canadian Metal. That's how good canada's metal bands are
@@matthewgodding777 Darkthrone is an awesome band! Cheers \m/
Wait they’re from Victoria? Isn’t Spiritbox from there? What’s with all of these amazing bands from that random little island? Lol
@@theopinson3851 Yeah man Spiritbox is also from there lol Not to sure why but I know Canada is finally getting on the map for metal!
Brittany is just.. yeah.. wow. She is also a total sweet hart.
There are some other video out there of her reacting to reactors, as well as a couple of her interacting with a reactor. Her actual personality is just adorable, and reserved. That kinda feels at odds with some one who has that much power in her singing.
Not really a big power metal guy but the moment I heard this song, it just blew me away!! All musicians are straight up beasts & Brittany on vocals is the cherry on top.
Killer song. Great reaction. This was a lot of fun. Nice one Yaz!
I feel like the best way of describing UTA is “power metal for people who don’t like power metal,” lol. The things that normally turn me off about PM bands don’t seem to really apply. Many of them come from heavier backgrounds and played in death/black metal bands before this and apparently the Vancouver scene is super heavy so they had to have that certain edge to make it there.
I completely agree! I'm usually more into melodic, death and Progressive metal. Power metal has always seemed lame and hard to take seriously but when it comes to UtA, I can't get enough.
Agreed, most powermetal like Sabaton i can enjoy, but after 1 song im done with it. UTA has that edge and their old stuff especially is a LOT heavier. Daughters of Winterstone, Black Goat of the Woods and other songs from that era are heavier than the new stuff and a nice change of pace. They've been great with everything they've done.
Yup. I have a strong aversion against Power Metal, but I absolutely love UTA.
09:58 that smile on Britt’s face kills me. 😁
These guys are in my top 3 favorites. The range on her is just astounding... They've also clearly matured as musicians as they've gone, as made evident in their newest album. I would recommend checking out really anything from Abyss. Or anything else they've ever done. Really just... everything UtA.
Her voice is incredible. I literally rambled so much and never said anything about her voice 🤦🏻♀️
Yaz the Producer it’s forgivable when the entire band is this talented!
She sounds equally epic even in more mundane settings. There is a video of her singing karaoke in a bar in Edinburgh after a show, and I imagine no wanted to take the mic after her.
Brittany said on an interview that she writes stories for their albums, and then tells the rest of the band what kind of vibe she is looking for. Then they write the music to fit her story. 'Awakening' is the first track on their 'Apex' album. If you listen to it from beginning to end you will see the story she lays out.
nice 🐱👤👍
Abyss, next album, is the second part of the story, which I think is awesome.
you won't be disappointed with this song the very cool uplifting vibes is sure to get your attention the incrediblely positive elements and transitions here are quite something too so enjoy that sound is so energetic holy smokes this music is going to help folks to be strong and even get them out of their doldrums depressive state this power metal and melodic death metal that is coming from Vancouver BC Canada is some of the best represetations that woman Brittney has such a strong and such good energy holy smokes
It wasn't my taste in music either, Yaz. Now, they're one of my all-time favorites. Do more, lady. Would love to see you hit "Tonight We Ride" next, if you're up for it. Nice one.
Thanks Lee, yeah like it clearly blew my socks off. Maybe I don't know that I already love it - like a delayed reaction...
@@yazma2 Took me a few exposures to admit it to myself. I'm a metalcore/death metal/djent/progressive kinda guy. But UTA is really something special... like, they don't have a bad song. Hope to see more from you. :)
This whole album fucking rocks. I consider it to be a masterpiece and no one can change my mind about it. Even the Queensryche cover at the end was amazing.
I would truly recommend two of their songs, they are on repeat for me: "Abyss" and "Soulbound"! Damn it's just great!!! Awesome reaction!!!
That whole album has been on repeat since ot released for me
Keep her on Apex for a bit? Although, "Soulbound" IS tough to wait on...
Just for fun, you might want to check out their version of "Northwest Passage", which was written by Canadian folk singer Stan Rogers. A bit more metal than the original, but really good.
Great reaction!
Great react as always. I love watching your musical journey. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
I miss seeing your reaction videos you're raw and real personality is awesome!!
Hi Yaz - love your facial expressions during the reaction!! And your sense of humor is priceless. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻✌🏼💯
Thanks Stephen :D I'm happy you're here watching!
Unleash The Archers is from Canada. Toronto i believe. Brittney is a TRAINED opera Singer. Every Album has a Story. This song is the beginning song to the Album Apex. On their official UA-cam she has videos explaining the story of each song. This one is the "Awakening" of an Immortal being that is the slave to the one who awakens him.
Awesome video❤️❤️...keep the hard work up....can't wait for the next video...and I'm so happy to see this channel growing
WAHOO! First comment :D Thanks Shalom!
@@yazma2 u r welcome yaz...love your funny mood and your hair...they make everything cooler😁...stay safe ❤️
Here's a vague breakdown to give you a bit of context behind this songs lyrics and the album it's from - Apex(2017).
This is a concept album telling a story track by track about an Immortal being. This is the opening song on the album. It is sung from the Immortals perspective(not all the tracks are), about being awoken in his mountain hollow from a 1000 year sleep. As a covenant of birth, the immortal must do the bidding of whoever awakens him. As the tracks progress, you find out that The Matriarch(which is played by the male vocalist in this song Awakening) was the one to awaken him. She wants him to find her four sons, so she can kill them and perform a blood ritual to gain immortality for herself(pretty dark haha), and his journey to find them. Each son has their own song about them on the album. The closing song Apex, is about the immortal going back to sleep in his mountain and it is a phenomenally written song.
Their new album, which came out in August, is a continuation of this story, and the immortal has awoken on a spaceship confused as hell wondering where tf his mountain is lol from the single Abyss. I won't go into the rest of the album lol 🇨🇦🤘
This is an AWESOME concept. So epic. Thank you so much for this.
@@yazma2 no problem. I think you'll really like the song Cleanse The Bloodlines. Awesome produced video for an awesome, heavy song - it's about the Matriarch telling the immortal to find her son's
I've seen this video a thousand times, and this is the first time somebody(Yaz) has had me actually watching her. God how beautiful.
Absolutely love you and your channel. Missed you yesterday much love ❤️
Good to see you Dustin!
@Yaz the Producer. You are awesome
I love this band. There have a new album out.
So if you curious to check some more songs, definitely check out 'Soulbound', 'Abyss' and 'Faster Than Light'.
I love the drummers T-Shirt. "I'm a Bundy Junkie". Oh, and the Band AND the song are awesome. Nice Post.
Brittney Slayes - what a voice! Rockin out of Vancouver BC. She is so down to earth and likes to visit and chat with reactors on youtube and talk about music.
Never clicked on a video so fast! Great reaction yaz!
I love Brittany Slays she’s an awesome vocalist, I love their songs “General of the Dark Army” and “Tonight We Ride” or like short power metal “Test your Metal” (only because power metal is normally rather long tracks) but there are a couple more bands from Canada that are awesome (female fronted also) different genres tho.
Kobra and the Lotus (KatL) - “Soldier” or “50 Shades of Evil” (they are more heavy rock than metal)
Motion Device - “Responsibility”, “Thick Skin”, or “Awake” (also more rock or heavy rock than metal)
Spiritbox - Rule of Nines (official video then live one take) a lot like Jinjer with more electric sounds)
There is one more I recently found but I’ll have to look for them again then edit it in
Edit: Lutharo - “Unleash the beast” and “Blood Lightning” another band similar to Jinjer but totally different also
I concur, great recommendations on bands and songs. Kobra and the lotus- soldier is a solid banger.
Canadian Metal : so good Darkthrone wrote a song called Canadian Metal...
Bit of history for ya: November Grief. 1992 all woman death metal. Italian label FOAD reissued their demos over summer. Pretty damn good
Second "Test your Metal"...
Yes, they are power metal (well actually a fusion of power metal and melodic death metal), and yes they are fantastic... and so are you! Love your reactions and love your personality / style... you have become my favorite 'reactor' and most looked forward to! Most reactors (at least the ones I follow) refrain from any vulgarity, and when they slip, they get all weird about it... as if it's against the rules or something. You on the other hand, just let that potty mouth flow lol, and I love it! That sexy British accent doesn't hurt either.
To answer your other question, they are Canadian... from Victoria, British Columbia.
As much as I love UTA, and as much as this is a great song, it's far from their best. The album before this one (Test Your Metal) has all their best songs like Tonight We Ride, Time Stands Still and Test Your Metal... those songs display Brittney Slays' vocal range and vocal abilities MUCH better. I really wish everyone wouldn't always request this song for 1st time reactions... Tonight We Ride is probably the best way to go for the 1st reaction.
Also... you should check this out, even if you don't react to it... There was this one time that, after they played a full show, they were hanging out at a karaoke bar and Brittney went up and did a Queensryche song, Queen of the Reich... and it was absolutely amazing! ---> ua-cam.com/video/280DRqoGyLw/v-deo.html&ab_channel=UnleashTheArchers
She also covered The Cranberries 'Zombie', just 2 months ago. ----> ua-cam.com/video/-bmSMOt_ZHU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=UnleashTheArchers
Now... a question for you... you mentioned this style is not usually your 'cup of tea', not usually what you would listen to while alone. I'm really wondering what your normal style / taste in sub-genre is? That way I could maybe suggest something for you in that sub-genre that I think you would like.
That face at 2:55 is the right face to be making in that moment. Well done!
At least you were honest that its not you're type of music. Its ours and we love it!
YAZ! You are right, they are totally power metal! By the way the Mike that just joined your Patreon was me. I honestly don't go on there all that much, but I'm willing to support you! \m/
OMG UTA I AM VERY EXCITE. I'm going to buckle in and enjoy.
They are from Vancouver in Canada, same as Spiritbox. This is definitely power metal, and they don't dance around it. A lot of people have said that Brittney sounds like she could be Dio's long lost child.
If you do react to any more UTA, anything from their new Abyss album is going to be fun, you'll definitely have a laugh at "Faster Than Light," but their older stuff like "General Of The Dark Army," "Northwest Passage," "Time Stands Still," and "Tonight We Ride" I think you'll love watching from the perspective of a producer, because they all do show the music being played at points in the video, and really help the deep vocals and instrumentals hit home.
Love your style!!!😁😍
Cracking video Yaz! 👍
Thank you Phil you legend :D
I've watched several of your videos and you and I see eye to eye on almost everything. If I where you I'd be worried!
Unleash the Archers was the last concert I went to (March 10th) before the world closed. I was supposed to see Jinjer in April, but that obviously didn't happen.
I must say, I love your voice; it’s soothing. The accent is a plus!
Thank you 😁🥳
UTA falls mostly into the power metal category(mixed w/ some other metal stylings). They are from Vancouver Canada. They formed in 2008. If you listen to them more you will become hooked. Their music is so good!
Other vids by UTA:
Time Stands Still, Tonight We Ride, Cleanse The Bloodlines, Northwest Passage, Abyss, Soulbound, Faster Than Light
P.S.- I just wanted to say, you have a beautiful voice. I love your accent!
Thank you so much X Y 😁🥳
Please add Apex to that list
The band started as melodic death metal/power metal and has trended heavily into the power metal side since then. Their old stuff is great but very different. This album, Apex, and their newest album Abyss are a long storyline that is mostly powermetal yes. The album previous to this one has my favorite song of theirs though, "Test Your Metal"
you are so hilarious;)))- "Oh my DAYS!" Great video and reaction....LOVE UTA;)..... best of luck on your channel!
Subbed! Awesome content, and funny as hell!
Awwww damn thanks for the compliments, and the sub! :D
UTA are Canadian! Vancouver to be exact. For a different vibe check out their cover of Northwest Passage.
Love your reactions, also your eyes a mesmerizing.
Loved your reaction..
Great reaction. Another group with amazing talent that I love is Allegaeon. You should check out “Proponent for Sentience III “, “Gray Matter Mechanics “, or “1.618”.
Oooo this is the first I've heard of them! Thanks Jim :D
"eyes open" ...and so it begins.
It is now a 2-album saga, and is the nexus of perfection between music and narrative. I can't even separate the two at this point.
they're from Canada, the band is based in Vancouver.
check out their cover of "Northwest Passage"
Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas - Cygnus. Epic song, amazing duality in the voices, extatic finish, this will lead you to another planet.
Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas - The Wreck of S.S. Needle (live @De Kreun, the timecode is 17,25), for a terrifyingly good live performance
Enjoy the fucking trip and the insane voice of Julie, one of the best singers in extreme music nowadays.
Hi Yaz hope your having a wonderful weekend and great job with your reaction to Awakening From Unleash The Arechers.
Have an amazing weekend Eric!
Hi there! UTA is a powermetal band as you might have understood by now i guess?
If you like this you would probably like Lovebites! Japanese PM band too who are in the PM, Trash, heavy metal area. "When Destinies align" is a good starter.
You should also put Band-amid on your list! "Dice" (MV) or "Domination" (live) might be in your liking? :)
It is totally true canadian powermetal at it's best. Love the band, love your reaction !
Thanks Ben, glad you're digging it!
Y E S!!! You finally did it! Thank you! Try Test Your Metal You may like that one. They're from Canada.
I figured you'd like UTA.
They understand how reactions expand their fan base:
Singer Brittany Slayes is known to watch UA-cam reactions, and has even worked with reactors to do interviews and introduce new music videos through exclusive first reactions, and other members have been known to occasionally comment on reactions. That definitely sits well with their fan base!
No way! I hope I'm one of the lucky ones!
@@yazma2
Reactor reacting to Brittany reacting to his reaction
ua-cam.com/video/hl9QJRoZrJM/v-deo.html
They are the most interesting band in power metal, most probably because they integrate elements of death metal.
Musicianship is mindbnlowing, Brittney Slayes is the "power" in power metal, and also s super nerd. The album is a concept album with fantasy story. Their newest video is funny as hell (Faster than Light) and well worth watching, even if you don't prefer power metal. Also, not my cup of tea, but these guys are way too awesome to miss their videos.
They come from Canada.
Nice to see you exploring all the best women in metal! I am already excited, which one comes next form The List.
Thanks for the video, much appreciated!
Thanks Martin! I'll have to check out their other videos, especially if they have a sense of humour :D
@@yazma2 Oh, Brittney has a great sense of humor. When the new video came out, she reacted with a YT reactor on it. LOL. I don't think anyone did *that* before. Oh, and what I wanted to ask, but forgot: Is Infant Annihilator's "Blasphemian" already on The List? It is a classic. Most brutal and highly skilled death metal and a very unique video.
This band is super sick. It's so interesting, a bunch of people who do not like power metal but love death metal or metalcore always seem to love this band. I think Cleanse the Bloodlines would be one of your favorites more specifically because of the cinematography. Thanks for checken them out!
Love the video, these guys are amazing. my question to you is what brand of hair dye do you use and how long does it last. I love a RED redhaired-gal. Im just looking for a good brand that can keep my Blue up.
Love some UTA! They're canadian power metal 🤘
I sat here trying to figure out what UTA stood for for WAY TO LONG! 😅😂
@@yazma2 😂😂😂 Too funny!
@@yazma2 incase no one has told you there from vancouver
Hey Yaz, thanks for another really entertaining video! Some day when the mood is right, you should listen to their last two records. They're an ongoing concept album series and are both fantastic. I don't like power metal either (not brutal enough lol), but I make an exception for this band!
So good!!! Great Canadian Metal band!
A new song of their's you may like is "Soulbound" and an older one, as others have said is "Tonight we Ride"
Totally enjoyed your reaction. I'll sub and see what's next. Stay safe, stay well, cheers.
I Love your British acent
Yyeeessss!!! Unleash the Archers is incredible! Answering to your question, they're from Canada. "Northwest Passage" should be your next!
Now, after Tatiana and Brittney, you're still to listen to the queen of Halestorm, Lzzy Hale. "Uncomfortable", "Do Not Disturb" and "Black Vultures" are some great songs you could check out!
One huge thing about Unleash the Archers is, Brittany Slays (lead) has done reactions WITH reactors on their songs. She's good shit and really down to earth!!
Awww that's amazing. Makes me a lil nervous too though ahahah
heeeeeeeeeeeeeey yaz!! good to see you react to a reaction-classic already haha =D
Your eyes are the star of the video! Most amazing!
100 percent right about not interrupting. Good luck on the channel!
John Huff Jr thanks John!
That intro is really great, power metal is not for me though not sure exactly why
but man that instrumental intro...so great
Another great one Yaz! UTA are from Victoria BC Canada (where I live). I think you would enjoy more of their work. Power metal is hit and miss for me as well but these guys are fantastic.
Thanks Sean!! I'm definitely gonna have to delve in further here!
greetings from Canada..another great Canadian metal band:)
Probably already familiar with it but Pantera - Domination - Live in Moscow is my fav live vid ever.
Boing - boing - boing - thankyou - thankyou - thankyou!!!
I’m terrified of this. What if she hates me!
@@yazma2
Silly goose - she will love, love, love you like we all do! :P
If Dio, Queensryche and Iron Maiden had a baby it would be Unleash the Archers.
Intense!! Not necessarily my genre either, but they are very talented.. And ya, you just gotta let it flow!
suuuuper intense right!
@@yazma2 Here's one for ya... ua-cam.com/video/VvN1wk5pyrQ/v-deo.html
Next up should be "Soulbound". It's SO. DAMN. GOOD.
"Is this power metal?" Subscribed
You definitely have to check out more! Since you liked it, there's no way you won't get into them when you hear more. Britney has been compared to THE Bruce Dickinson! Her vocals are absolutely insane!! Awakening doesn't even compare to what she does on "Tonight we ride" or "Test your metal". If you want newer stuff, check out "Faster than light". And FYI she actually reproduces how she sounds in the studio recordings, when singing live 100%. I had to pick my jaw from the floor when I first heard her doing Queensryche's "Queen of the Reich" live (after a concert she'd done the same evening) in a karaoke bar!! It's on UA-cam actually, shitty mobile phone recording but it's totally worth it! Cheers!! Keep it up!!
Very nice reaction! Another sub for you =)
Brilliant!! They're from Canada! Try "Test Your Metal" by Unleash the Archers next! BUUUT before that, give this other band a shot: The Warning. They're a Mexican hard rock power trio of sisters. Very young, but full of energy, attitude, and passion. This song called "Dust to Dust" was performed live last year at the Foro Didi venue in Mexico. It's the first track off there second album Queen of the Murder Scene. Back then, the guitarist Daniella was 19, the drummer Paulina was 17, and the bassist Alejandra was 14. I think that you will enjoy this and can't wait to get your impressions on these ladies. Best, - Wil.
Cleanse the Bloodlines and Apex are both amazing musicianship and vocal power. Amazing group.
Power......Yes. They have some really good songs and videos for you.
I’m loving it
She says "Powwa Mehul" love that accent Yaz lmao
I’m still holding out for you to react to Halestorm though 🤘😀
You are looking especially wonderful today. Hope your weekend goes beautifully.
Thank youuuu! I hope yours goes well too!
Badass singer, power metal, hell yes!
Nice video! Subscribed. Take your pick of any song from the Abyss or Apex album. Their cover of Northwest Passage is unbelievable!
IMMORTAL IS MORE THAN A NAME!
AWAKENING
To look up into the night's sky, to see the stars they are changed
To know a thousand years or more have passed, and I am the same
This mountain hollow that keeps me in a suffocating embrace
A prison and a safe haven, it's always been this way
Lo, a new master calls me to awakening, I know this one brings the end
Far out beyond the darkness I've been living in it's true, a whole new world awaits
Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night
Once again revitalized, to roam; to never die
My path begins with the new dawn; a voice is calling my name
It always starts as whispering then manifests to a scream
I'm drawn to the creature that wakes me, bound to them by the curse
My soul exists only to serve, a covenant of birth
Fear not the task ahead there's no escaping it, there's no good nor evil here
Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night
Once again revitalized, to roam; to never die
Come to me, awakening
Follow my voice, come to me
Fear not the task ahead there's no escaping it, there's no good nor evil here
Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night
Once again revitalized, to roam; to never
Lighting my way in the night
To roam; to never die
You should check out songs from their latest release Abyss. The title track, Soulbound, or Faster than Light are all incredible!
One of the three Metal Godesses......Floor (Nightwish), Tatiana (Jinjer) and Brittney (Unleash the Archers)....
No faking that grin. Or the surprise. Splendid reaction.
Nthey don't move because of the recording choices,, very well analysts..
Coooool 😎
It is definitely power metal, but, with some definite thrash elements added in. They're from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
A fantastically fun fact. The whole album tells a story about an immortal entity being "awakened" and at the end "going back to sleep". The album after this depicts the same immortal entity awakening in the future. Very creative stuff. I own the whole Apex album on CD and it is in my car. When I get tired of all the commercials on the radio I switch to a very awesome album and don't switch back until the story is complete.
Their most recent drop, Legacy is fast becoming one of my favorites of theirs. Britney is a brilliant front-person.
They are good👍🏻
