The growls in this album are meant to be the voice of the matriarch. The entire album is the story about a matriarch that awakens an ancient warrior and sends him to kill her sons so she can drink their blood and live eternally. I'd totally recommend you listen to it.
Yes! The whole album and it's story linking all songs, flowing one track to the next is epic. It's pretty much a daily listen on my commute at the moment, the CD hasn't left my car stereo in the last year or so...
Apex is a masterpiece!
Technically the Immortal doesn't kill any of the sons. He is told to bring them to her alive so she can kill them in a ritual.
No that's it, I've had enough, I can't do this anymore, I have to buy this album. The speaker in my mobil is crap just as you say, the stereo in my car is reasonably good so with the CD I can play it there instead, and as loud as I want without everyone in my house sh*tting themselves.
I also believe that musicians should be payed for their work and buying the album is how you do that.
You and your review made me do it, Chase 😀
Cheers / B.
GO GET IT!!!!
@@ChaseCarneson I got it last year. You're behind the curve! Napalm Records put a clip on their channel of a taster from the new album. It's synth-led, which is intriguing.
@@ChaseCarneson Bit late seeing this video of yours. But since I know you liked getting to see them play in Awakening, in case you didn't see them yourself or someone else didn't say, both the guitarist and bassist have playthrough videos that they posted for this specific song. Crazy to watch how technical they are. Love the reactions. Keep up the great work.
Same here! I thank Chase and Julia for introducing me to this incredible band.
SUCH a great song. this entire album tells a story actually, beginning with "awakening". it's pretty cool, i'd recommend looking into it. i believe there are some videos where brittney explains the story going track by track through the album.
Yeah..it's best if you watch the video in order off the album for them to make perfect since...I've noticed when reactors don't do that some of them seem to get confused
Yes, the Napalm Records channel has Brittney explaining all the tracks, really neat!
The songwriting process for this album was really cool
So the whole album is a concept album that tells an epic fantasy story (if you get a chance you should listen in it's entirety, best album of 2017 imo). In terms of how it was written, Brittney decided upon the overarching plot for the album, decided she wanted 10 tracks and wrote a synopsis for what each song would be about. So for example this track you just listened to is where The Matriarch gives the Immortal his mission to go and bring her sons to her. She then gave that info to the rest of the band who wrote the music to fit her ideas. She then took the music that they had written and wrote the specific lyrics to fit that music. The one slight deviation from this process was that for track 3: The Matriarch she already knew what she wanted to sing in part of the chorus so the band wrote the music to fit that.
But yeah, super awesome album. One of my all time favourites.
Awesome song and video. In a short conversation I had with Britany I found out about the knife (which I thought was cool) belongs to the lady with the hawk who is an actual falconist .
KILLER band !!! I am addicted to Unleash The Archers since I found them.
This is a great song. The album that it's on is called Apex and it's a concept album about a character named The Immortal who is awakened by the evil Matriarch. The Immortal is cursed in a way so that whomever awakens him gets to use him to do their bidding and he must submit to their whim. The Matriarch requires him to kill her sons so she can use their blood in a ritual to gain immortality. That's the general story of the album, but it's a solid album all around and it's what really brought Unleash the Archers to more audiences. They have a new album coming out this year called Abyss and it's the sequel to Apex that continues the story of The Immortal. I'd recommend checking out one of their older songs called "General of the Dark Army". That song and its accompanying music video were made before they were signed to a major record label, but it has a LOT of technical parts and pieces that I think you'd really enjoy dissecting. Great reaction and insight to this song man! Thanks!
thank you for the album name
“General of the Dark Army” to see them back before they signed to Napalm. 😊
PLEASE do this song soon. It's phenomenal, and an excellent music video.
Yep solid showing of them finding their sound! Love it
@Jen G. what u doing in a "non-jinjer" comment section!? u branching out as ambassador? :)
I liked the song but i do prefer their newer sound of apex and abyss
FIRST!
ETA: I stopped a Nightwish reaction to watch this when I saw it pop up in my sub feed notices. A new reaction by you is always a good point in a day.
Haha I did the exact same thing
I was in the middle of a Spiritbox reaction. And now I'm listening to other UtA songs.
😂 Hope you made some time to finish up the Nightwish.
@@ChaseCarneson Oh, yeah....I love reaction videos of Nightwish (and Jinjer). I sometimes spend hours on weekends just doing that.
The fade out on this song is great because the song that follows it on the album begins with about 15 seconds of full blast drums and guitar before breaking into the melody
Your reactions and analysis are so on point man! Keep them coming mate. \m/
Thanks! Will do!
This album (Apex) is a concept album that starts with 'Awakening' and tells a story throughout. They use different vocals at times to represent different characters in the story. At one point Grant (the 'screamer') does some clean singing as well, again to represent a character. It's really tastefully done throughout the album.
Grant is not the one clean singing on "Earth and Ashes". That's Andrew Kingsley, the ginger on the other guitar. Grant only does screams.
@@dandyprime5338 Ah! Thanks for that correction!
Another great underrated song of theirs is Test Your Metal!
Every time I hear this chorus, I get chills. Every. Fucking. Time.
This song, Awakening, Ten Thousand Against One, and Apex are my favourites off this album. Hope you check those last two songs 🤘
Apex is my favorite ever from them
@@Neocoolzero Ya i agree. Apex is such a killer song and gets no love on TH-cam haha
I love Earth and Ashes. It's got a different feel that I enjoy very much.
@@mn6334 is it Andrew or Grant that sings the male part in that song? Another epic song that doesn't get much love on TH-cam
Ten Thousand Against One is an absolute banger! 🤘🏾
...that's one impressive voice, and an amazing band all around. I'm starting to think these guys have a bright future ahead.
I actually quite enjoyed that. The only other song I've heard of theirs is Awakening. Not the biggest fan of growls, but it worked in this song to further tell the story. The track as a whole though: absolutely stunning! Gonna have to find the album this is from and give it a listen. Thanks Chase.
I wouldn't have thought that Power Metal can sound somewhat fresh and interesting in 2020. I left the cheese and pomp of it at least 15 years ago. But these guys make it sound interesting again. Thanks for the reaction, will listen to more of their stuff in the future.
I know right? They're amazing!!!
glad you pointed out the drum switch up! my fav part of the song (maybe behind the chorus...)
I actually laughed out loud when you said "fluffy"
That's a term not often used combined with "Metal"
New sub genre Fluffy Metal haha
YEEEESSSS. I'm so happy you are continuing with this band! So many reaction channels just do Awakening and Tonight We Ride then forget about them.
Please do more songs off the Apex album, every song is amazing. I'd recommend either Ten Thousand Against One or Apex next. Thank you again.
EDIT: Also they have a new album coming out in August which is a sequel to Apex. A single should be dropping this month, there is a one minuet tease on Napalm Records channel and it is insane. I can not wait.
DUDE HELL YEAH! they're about to have a new album come out very soon. This chorus us the absolute best thing ever. Another good one from this album is earth and ashes.
This is my favorite song from UtA (it's also what introduced me to the band) 🙂
Unrelated: I think you should check out "I speak astronomy" from Jinjer, it's also a fantastic song.
Coming up next for them for sure.
With this being a concept album, on the tracks the growls and Brittany's cleans, its kind of the conversation between the immortal and the matriarch. This song is about the immortal going to kill the matriarchs sons for her ritual of immortality. This album is awesome. Nice pick.
What's a little confusing is that Brittney's clean vocals are also representing the Matriarch at different points.
Hi, Chase. I am 38 years old. I love Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal is my life :). I just want to thank you for your reactions to Unleash The Archers. Your comments is great. I like your work. Keep up the great work :-).
One thing I'd love to see from UtA is some quality live recordings. So far the highest quality live recording of them I've seen is from a channel called Dr. Light Productions but it still seems a little muddy, definitely not on the level of sound from some of the official live videos of Jinjer or Nightwish.
(I'm not sure if muddy is the right word but it's the one I'm going to use...)
Love your tech explanations...it lets me hear this amazing band in a whole new way.
Thanks for supporting, Michelle.
Do not apologise for pausing, I appreciate your analysis and that you rewind so I can understand what your referring to. Also, I really love their rendition of the Northwest Passage, not written by them, a sort of a Canadian anthem. Keep going as you are.
Nice one, Julian. Thanks for that.
I like them. I'd skipped them previously, and watched them just because you did the video. I won't say I'm hooked, but I've enjoyed them so far. Thanks for the introduction!
This is honestly such a beautiful song. Like it's metal and all that but it really is one of the most graceful songs I've heard. The bridge particularly, with that floating melody, makes my eyes slightly watery. Sometimes in my head, I hear this song as ballad with just piano and vocals. The chords are so pretty. Anyway just waffling, thanks for the great reaction again!
Also a little thing if you might've heard it, in the chorus and main theme, before the gallops, the bass player does some pretty cool chords and voice leading. It's a little nugget that blew my mind when I first heard it!
Keen for your next vid :)
Excellent reaction once again! Love Unleash the Archers and can't wait for the next one. Also shout out to the Broncos hat behind you! Go Broncos! 🤘🏼🐴🏈😂
LET'S GO BRONCOS!!!! 🙋🏼♂️😉
Yesss, this was my favorite song of this album. I think I got into them first from 'General of the Dark Army'? From their 2nd album. I feel like they've only gotten better as they've progressed.
I feel like this band is really good at capturing emotions with their music.
So the new Unleash the Archers video just dropped minutes ago called "Abyss" and it kicks ass!!....You must react!!
I'm gonna sort that one don't you worry.
Choice song! Great clip! (They had me at the sight of the raptor!) More, please! Your pick as you do so well... I gain a great deal from your reactions. Thankyou!
Thank you for supporting, Damien. Glad you're enjoying them!
This is my favourite of their songs. Thanks for reacting.
if you want to be blown away by her vocals, you need to check out The Filth and The Fable. It is one of their older albums, but there is a vocal piece she does where you will not expect it.
I was LITERALLY just driving home listening to this song and wondered if you'd ever get around to listening it.
Great minds 😉 hope you enjoyed!
I would love a movie/ graphic novel based on this story.
With Apex being a concept album, every song is a part of a bigger story. This is the part of the story where the antagonist (the Matriarch) reveals her plan/intentions to the protagonist (the Immortal). Brittney put out a couple of videos where she breaks down the story song by song.
Her vocals are ridiculous. Great breakdown again! Have you checked out Nothing More?
I haven't, no. Any good?
@@ChaseCarneson Definitely. I would recommend checking out this song, coincidentally probably their most popular, but I think you'd have a lot of fun breaking it down th-cam.com/video/Yo5fE-Zl-V4/w-d-xo.html
Nobody has reacted to the entirety of Apex. You really should. Every single song on there could literally be a single. It is one of the best albums I've ever heard. It's truly special.
Well we're definitely going to work through as much of it as possible.
Usually don't comment. But you've got the best music reactions and analyses I've seen anywhere, period. Keep up the great work, really impressive.
Wow, thank you for the kind words. Really appreciate that.
I knew this was going to a be a good reaction! I can't remember if you know or not, but the album this is from, Apex, is a concept album so yes, there's a big story going on. It'd be great if you could react to the album from start to finish, although I realise that's probably a no-no, but you owe it to yourself to listen to it that way, I think. After you've reacted to the title track, of course!
Incidentally, their forthcoming album, called Abyss, is another concept album and a direct sequel to the story of Apex.
You deserve more subs Chase! Thanks for the insightful take as always!
Super grateful for the support. We're building and I couldn't be prouder
This whole Album needs to be the soundtrack to fantasy movie with a badass female heroine
Highly recommend Time Stands Still by them, great video and another showcase of Brittney's vocal talent.
Don't be sorry to pause! I love to hear what you think of each part of the song! You really know a lot about music!
They are amazing! Please react to the music:
Unleash the Archers - General of the Dark Army.
They were still an independent band when they released the clip.
Nightwish is the only band you have reviewed that I knew the songs before joining your channel. And of all the bands you have covered so far, Unleash the Archers amazes me the most. I really love their sound, and i love that it is a story they are telling, creepy but i can't stop watching. Some things:
1. At the whisper part, i was also hearing the whisper of the cymbols in my left ear, it was like another whisper matching the person whispering back and forth.
2. About halfway through i accidentally turned closed captions on while you were talking, and when it went back to the music, it was when the double kicks were starting, and the closed caption said [Applause] lol
3. The singer looks like the twin of somoene i know :D
4. What happened to the top of the bass guitar?
Thank you again for intrudicing so much good stuff to us. I want to get this album for sure.
*So* happy to see/hear you do another Unleash the Archers track! Even though there's no video for it, I suspect you'll really like the final song on the album - Apex. You might also get a kick out of one of their earlier ones from years ago - General of the Dark Army (the one that hooked me on them, in fact). As always, great analysis and break down!!
Brittney Slayes is amazing. She has those epic metal poses down.
Fantastic reaction... Thx
Love UtA, they are most underrated band of our time...
So I think it would be nice if you can react to some UtA "older" stuff...
General of the Dark Army (2012)
th-cam.com/video/WVi0d7oqDvs/w-d-xo.html
or not so old Apex official audio only..
or Northwest passage
or Time stands still
or ten thousands against one audio only
or or or.... no bad choice here mate..
Stay safe and greetz
Oh, I forgot... The Matriarch 😅
Dude. I will watch every Unleash the Archers vid. "The Coward's Way", "Earth and Ashes" and "Apex" are all great tracks from that album. "Hall of the Tides", "Test your Metal" and "Crypt" are some of my favs from the "Time Stands Still" album! Love your reactions!
Appreciate the support, Matt. I'm definitely working my way through loads of them
For a different take on metal that is very technical, Archspire has a pretty great song. Lucid Collective Somnambulation which is from 2014 and oddly enough the band is also from Vancouver Canada.
Gorgeous Peregrine Falcon!
Really took a journey didn't we? Great riffs, killer drumming. 🤘
Was intense, my dude!!!
SO EPIC ....... this band is so good!!
Check out their cover of Northwest Passage!
Nice one.
yup, you are my fav reactionist ... love how you explain it all .. keep up the great work... btw New album by them coming real soon.. cant wait .. !!!! tc and be safe
False Walls next. And GO BRONCOS!!!
GO BRONCOS!!!
Abyss pre sales are up now 🤘💜🤘
I remember when I sat down to try this song I thought the intro riffs would be the hard part, but those verse riffs are super tricky! If you listen carefully the cycle is rather long before it repeats almost like a walking bass. Super tasteful.
I feel like the Broncos hat is going to travel around your set up now like some sort of reaction easter egg.
Beautiful reaction!! Try "General of the dark Army" and "North west passage". They are truly exceptional.
As always, great technical analysis. Brittney actually loves her fans, especially reactors, and has even done reactions to their reactions. Here is an example: th-cam.com/video/V0bt_nHemh4/w-d-xo.html She has also done interviews with reactors on their channels eg. th-cam.com/video/hl9QJRoZrJM/w-d-xo.html You should consider posting your reactions to their channel--they will probably find it really interesting and you may get an interview with her out of it!
Yes! More Unleash the Archers! They just released a teaser for their new album a few days ago. th-cam.com/video/oUd2rBMPwYU/w-d-xo.html
More UTA? Northwest Passage, Dreamcrusher, The Matriarch, Apex, Time Stands Still.
Chase, you don't need to cringe when Britney goes for those high notes. She'll be fine. She knows what she's doing.
P.s. General of the Dark Army, can't forget that.
P.p.s. Usually UTA songs are lyrics written by Britney, then Scott works to develop them. That would make the guitars the last element. See the interview with Mary Z.
Nice reaction. Really enjoyed your Nightwish videos too. I'd suggest Insomnium, especially their song While we sleep.
Man, she is one of my favorite lead singers... and she is really talented and what I love the most is that she doesn't let you down in live concert... check out this video I found from live show... she nailed everything she does in the studio... simply amazing... imagine just give them more live production? I think they will be overwelming... like a lot...

I would love for you to go back and analyze their growth from "demons of the astrowaste" album to now. They were great then imo, a little more raw, great in a different way, maybe not quite as technically proficient but I absolutely would love for you to break down (and I know everyone is going to say "General of the Dark Army" and they should don't get me wrong it's amazing) "Daughters of Winterstone" or "Realm of Tomorrow" or "Despair" or one of those really long tracks at the end of "Demons of the Astrowaste"...maybe just do the whole of their discography lol. I hope you've now found the story of the "Apex" album, and of course their new album is basically the part 2 of the story. Demons was also a concept story album, of course anything off of "Time Stands Still" ("Tonight We Ride" is just the greatest eargasm ever) namely "Frozen Steel" and "Dreamcrusher" for me personally.....OK so i've advised everything and am of no use to you, I can't help it, they're just that good and so is your analysis!
this song's intro is so beautiful that i use it for my phonering tone 😄
Abyss was the best album of 2020. They continue to kill it.
check out some of their older stuff I recommend Eat What you Kill, Dawn of Ages or Realm of Tomorrow
I highly highly HIGHLY reccomend you listen to the entire album Apex, whether on the channel or your own time. Delve into the lyrics! It tells the story of The Immortal, awaken from his thousand years of slumber. As many others have said, The Matriarch has summoned him to capture her three sons. There are actually three separate songs dedicated to each son! She needs their blood for a ritual to become immortal herself. This is by far my favorite band to date and am SO excited for the sequel album coming in August!!!
Oh I'm definitely going to work my way through it for sure.
She almost sound like a cleaner version of the singer in Liliac, Melody.
Hello Chase, UTA is freaking awesome as is your reaction. It's great that you stop and explain the music. Now I wish Brittany and Floor Jansen would get together for an album.... I know, the world isn't ready for that yet!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Can you imagine!!!!! Fantastic idea though.
love your vids man, and would love to see you react to general of the dark army.
That ones gotta be up next.
That ones gotta be next. Has to be that or Apex?
@@ChaseCarneson both are amazing! Might I recommend general of the dark army first? Brittney Slays has videos of her explaining the story behind each song in Apex and watching that makes each song so much better.
Hey Chase, I found your channel today and I really love your commentary on the songs. I have to agree with you about UTA, all of them are masters at what they do. The bassist has a playthrough of this song on his channel, his name is Nikko Whitworth, check him out!
Also, I really love the intro to your videos (I guess you wrote it). It gives me a strong vibe of melodeath, and it kind of reminds me of Be'lakor. Subbed! 😃
Should message britney slays on youtube she did a video with another reactor she might be willing to do a video talking about their music with you she seems like s super geniune girl and super chill.
Yeah I believe so. I'll look into that for sure.
Up in the Canadian North, it's always a good idea to get a little fire going. Otherwise the cold will kill you. Seems like BC is getting to be like Winnipeg, a source of music. Check out what's come out of Winnipeg. It's too cold in winter to be outside so the kids stay in basements and become rock bands.
Do Apex, The Coward's Way, and False Walls, and Earth and Ashes. Hell, the whole damn album is amazing.
Apex is one of the best composed songs I have ever heard. Period.
I really like The Matriarch, Apex and Northwest Passage by this band.
🎶listen well, this is why you are here
I neeeed youuuu to fiiiiind my socks!🎶
Other Canadian content please - RUSH - Spirit of Radio
The title track 'Apex' is the best track on the album....IMO.
General of the Dark Army - Unleash The Archers, next on your UTA journey?
I think this was my introduction to UtA
Dear Chase, great Reaction, congratulations.. my opinion ... I'm in Metal for 40 years .... today there is no better band than UTA
OPETH-DELIVERANCE LIVE IN LONDON If you want to go for a ride. O yes.. The Apex album is epic💪🏻🤘🏼
"Ten Thousand Against One" and "Apex" are two excellent songs (among others) that you should check out from this same album. No music videos for them, unfortunately.
Hey Chase, not necessarily a reaction suggestion, but I recently ran across something you might be interested in. UTA's Bassist from this album, Nikko Whitworth, has his own small TH-cam channel. He has a bass playthrough for "Cleanse the Bloodlines" (and "Tonight We Ride") and it adds a whole new level of awesome. Just search for him and you should find it. Just thought you would be interested.
Please, react to gojira "the gift of guilt" live at brixton
"listen to the stamina on that drummer"...yup, if danny carey were never born, scott would be the best drummer of all time in my opinion
well that would be a bad thing to say cause how good a drummer is is messured in his abillitys so i wouldnt say either of the are the best drummer then
UTA's Time Stands Still (namesake of the previous album) has a lot of similarities to this song, I find. Which is great, cause Time Stands Still is my fav UTA song.
Undoubtedly the best reactor out there! Please react to Ayreon: The Day the World Breaks Down.
You will not be disappointed!
Cheers 🤙🏻🤙🏻
You're too kind. Really appreciate the support. Means a lot
Chase you should reach out to Brittney, as she has recently and in the past done interviews and even collabs with small channels, if she thinks they get it.
I think I actually will do so. Be really interesting to chat and ask some questions
@@ChaseCarneson BTW Nightwish also does this. I have seen interviews for channels with a few thousand subs and they recently did a couple for A&P Reacts which is bigger than you, but in no way a silver or gold channel.
ARCH ENEMY - Nemesis (Live at Wacken 2016) . Please!
Hi ! Nice reaction/explanation :) I love the entire Apex album and especially those 3 tracks: « Apex », « The Coward’s Way » and « Ten Thousand Against One ». It would be cool if you do a reaction to one of these tracks. Oh and the new UtA album is coming :D
To explore another side of UtA I recommend listening to Northwest Passage: ( th-cam.com/video/XRD3vrSLPaw/w-d-xo.html ) and after that (or maybe before) listen to Brittney's explanation of the music video -- It's quite complicated and has collided parallel universes in it ( th-cam.com/video/Nscn3QT6tZo/w-d-xo.html ) ;)
I wonder how quickly you work out it's in 3/4 😜🎶
The screams represent the dialogue of the Matriarch thruout the album
Oh, and no traditional guitar solos
