Frontwoman Brittney Slayes says about "Faster Than Light":
"Being that this song is about racing off into the far corners of space, we thought it would be a fun idea to actually race each other in the music video to see which one of us was truly 'Faster Than Light'! Of course we had to have some fun with it though, and added a little bit of excitement into the mix. Our director mentioned an older Stephen King novel called The Long Walk as inspiration for a way to spice up the video and we all agreed it would be hilarious! Check out the plot synopsis on Wikipedia if you haven't read it already... This track has turned into a favourite of the band and we knew it had to be a single the moment the finished product was in our hands. It's fast, fun, and is going to be an absolute blast to play live!"

I’m telling my kids this was the 2020 Canadian Olympic track team
RIP 2020 Canadian Track team :(
lol
LMAO nice one.
I think the shooter's from Boston. Just saying, FYI.
This is my favourite comment 😆
This is the only funny version of this joke I've seen lol. 2020 Olympics was savage!
My favorite Unleash the Archers song:
Theme: Escaping an intergalactic tyrant who uses ritual magic draining the blood from her sons to remain immortal, getting away from her by using gravity slingshots to exceed the speed of light in your spaceship while contemplating their own imposter syndrome as to whether they're worthy and able to defeat the tyrant.
Music video: A beer run combined with Stephen King's The Long Walk
I just wanna say. Everyone pulled off those 80's running shorts. EVERYONE haha XD
Everyone but Brittney tbh. 80's shorts are tight and short, hers weren't.
...and 70's tube socks.
@@jusatin She looked awesome in dem shorts all the same. MHMMM.
MrEgofreak That’s beside the point.
blue ones best.
Someone needs to make an edit where once each person gets offed, the instrument they play also gets cut from the song.
This would be brilliant
Please make this happen😂😂
Then the synth will be the only instrument remain then..
good idea!
Such a cool idea!
The moral of the story is that most metalheads can't run a quarter mile without getting winded
They so out of shape they died from trying to run
True
Metal heads know that best place to be in a race.. is behind the cute chick.
Damn son. That starting. DAAAAMN. Her vocals could power a fucking starship
The ACG!!! Hell yah! \m/
And that's why it's called Faster Than Light.
We all know what was really powering Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Oh ... hot dang can you imagine Unleash the Archers *actually* on a starship in a few years... something like the Dear Moon project.
*the whole fleet
When Brittney holds up her trophy and flowers at the end...you see some random people in the background that happen to be in the shot clapping for her....I think her laugh was a genuine reaction to them. Never a dull moment in a UtA video.
True story.
@@FusionFlowCoaching Ha ha! I knew it! Loved the video...awesome fun!!
Probably my favorite part of the video. I love how well the unplanned reaction from those ladies played into the shot perfectly.
@@mikesacklyn2372 lol he's not real, here's Grant's real channel: th-cam.com/channels/7Uu0T-dqlXiKDIzuu5uObQ.html
Unless you have another account, I'm sorry if that's the case.
Brittney said this was the case when filming. People thought she legit won.
I was totally into the message from the beginning. Everyone else floundered and died for various reasons along the path of life. Then Britney got to the end and had wealth and power and notoriety, but suddenly she was gone just like the rest. I like how some of them accept their fates, but Britney is genuinely surprised when she realizes she will also die, because all the prizes and fame distracted her, made her forget that death comes to all, even the successful. I love this video.
Nice interpretation.
I have to say that at first I just enjoyed the clip for being funny and a "Don't take yourself too seriously" vibe... but wow, your interpretation gives it a lot of depth, and it seems about right!
Never thought of that.. thanks for the interpretation.
@@RafaelFaenir .. the twist is - it seems funny and absurd at first, then it seems tragic and sad ... and then you see they had a lot of fun along the way anyway and that's really the best you can hope for anyway in life .. so it becomes funny (and absurd) again.
I justo noticed that we can see see live people before death
Weirdest Gatorade commercial ive ever seen... but looks good
The song slaps tho..
I’d buy it.
Brittney's first can was la Croix. Couldn't identify the other cans.
Gatorade: Is it in you? And by that I mean bullets.
The progression of their songwriting from their earlier stuff to Apex and Abyss is just fucking mental. Went from a band that I didn't mind but didn't love to probably my favorite metal band in the space of one album, then thoroughly reinforced by Abyss. Crazy.
The solo in this btw? Absurd. The phrasing is phenomenal. Seriously, seriously talented musicians.
I completely agree! I just found them in 2019 and they have become my fav band.
Totally feeling this now... the screaming vocals after the long bridge feel so powerful you think that they are just going to explode her vocal cords but Brit totallly holds it together on the brink. And then there is the Abyss track which i didn't really understand the epicness of.... Then one time I listened on shrooms and was totally feeling the themes of loneliness, hope, power, and connecting with that energy through her vocals. This music taps into some amazing mythological archetypes. Love how they intertwine through the whole album. I went to a live show in my home city, crazy good
Except Cleanse the Bloodlines because theyre too young for it, I pump a steady diet of UtA into my daughters' ears. I can't think of a more talented living female singer than Slayes to use to inspire them.
It’s a metaphor for life guys. Even if you win you’re dead.
Louder for people in the back
That's the only explanation i could accept. Some people may find the video funny, but for me it's not funny at all
Yes "Faster Than Light " yet in slow motion... and death following / chasing... Ultra campy video but brilliant ! Love UTA .... This album totally Smokes !
@@DeeDee-eb6fe Oh it makes it all more funny. Life is a game against each other, for you will always lose to it. It is about what you do, and what matters to you, that matters at all. SO make the most of it and do what you want.
Great explanation. I think its brilliant
Scott's "Yeah alright that's fair" gesture before getting shot is the best part.
I laughed so hard at that. I saw it more as "yea fuck it man. Just kill me"
When you pull a hammy like that, death don't seem that bad.
@@maynardmc8805 Hamstring pulls are a pain worse than death
@Necroglobule LMAO!
@@rocioiribe5841 Yeah I also saw it like "get it over with"
Verse ]
Once more we're flying fast as light
Dark matter passing in the night
Pursued by a force we can't outrun
As we hurtle towards a dying sun
[Pre-Chorus 1]
We maneuver through the remnants of a moon
On the solar winds of supernovas
There is not a place to hide, the Matriarch is close behind
It's plain to see she's coming for us all
[Chorus]
Fly till the stars collide
Till we live or die
Faster than ever before
Fly to forget your past
To move on at last
Fly on and forever more
Faster than light
[Verse 2]
Still farther and beyond we race
Into the outer reach of space
Through systems I will never know
And yet still we have nowhere to go
[Pre-Chorus 2]
As the planets shatter right before my eyes
There's no turning back, she's already here
Stare into infinity, and know that time is short for me
I can't deny she's coming for us all
[Chorus]
Fly till the stars collide
Till we live or die
Faster than ever before
Fly to forget your past
To move on at last
Fly on and forever more
Faster than light
[Bridge]
Why do I not turn and fight
And see if I somehow might set myself free?
Why do I feel so alive
As if suddenly I somehow find I'm where I should be?
Finally, I feel I can face up to all that I've done and become something more, more
[Chorus]
Fly till the stars collide
Till I live or die
Faster than ever before
Fly to forgive my past
To move on at last
Fly on and forever more
Fly till the stars collide
Till I live or die
Faster than ever before
Fly to forgive my past
To move on at last
Fly on and forever more
Faster than light
No band could ever take the place of Unleash the Archers in my heart, for that place was brought forth only the moment I heard them. Legends.
Me: Huh... that doesn't look like a normal starter's pistol.
Me about a min later: Aha. Well, that makes sense now at least.
I thought the same thing...
I thought the same thing. That was a dark turn I didn’t see coming!
"Why is he using a 1911 as a starter pistol...?"
exactly my thoughts 😊
Yeah, didn't think of it at the time. And then about a minute and some change later, it made alot of sense. Overall, good music vid. Can't wait for more along the way
Moral of the story, you don't have to be the best at anything if you get everyone else killed. Metal truly is a source of inspiration for me.
"You wouldn't have to try so hard, if you just started punching those guys earlier" ... wisdoms to live by.
"We maneuver through the remnants of a moon on the solar winds of supernovas"
Mind *FUCKING* Blown
get spaced!
Good ole power metal lyrics
UtA is Napalm's best seller! The talent is undeniable! Unleash the Archers for Grammy 2024!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
53 years old, metal head all my life, UTA one of the most talented I heard . Love you guys
I love it when metal takes itself seriously, and at the same time not so seriously.
A little late to the UTA party but MY GOD!
That chorus hits me right in those feels. This band is exactly what I've been looking for over the last few years! Melody, aggression, heart. Love it.
This song tells me don't give up, keep going. You run through life and lose people. They are watching you. Keep doing the right thing. Go your way, because there is no other. Enjoy life until the end, even if you die in the end. The video is a great metaphor for life. 😌
Magnificent band of dorks! I love these guys!
Abyss is quicky becoming my favorite UTA album. This video just makes me feel more confident with that thought
It's definitely my favorite so far. One of the things i had issues with on their earlier albums was that they are all fantastic musicians in their own right but i felt like they didn't mesh their talent together as well as they could. That is DEFINITELY not the case with this album.
It's extremely good, probably their best yet
Kind of like Stephen King's "The Long Walk" ... don't stop!
Tachyon. Faster than light. This band has been the 2020's great discovery for me. Don't know how I overlooked them for so long.
With all respect from Russia - so much love for Canadian sense of humour and self-irony !!!
It's ridiculous, never before I've got wet eyes and goosebumps in a banger song.
But the Archers are magical, and I have no idea, why their music touches me so hard; in a absolut positive way 🎶❤️🎸🤘🏻
I know, man. I tear up every time. It's like my soul has been waiting for them this entire time.
I can't help but well up with tears when I hear them, their talent is some of the best in the business. Soul-wrenching indeed.
Beacause is Art
Wait until you have seen them LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! They are incredible!
@@nomanmcshmoo8640 I'd be happy, if I could. Before the Queen has got her child, they have had a tour in Germany and I I got my ticket with a big smile.
What happened? Corona protocol changings and tour was canceled... But one day, I will see them live 🤘🏻🎸🙏🏻
The energy from this band is incredible
This song makes me cry every time. The lyrics are truly inspiring ❤
"We have a power metal song about a space battle between super powerful forces but we can't film a crazy music video because of the pandemic."
"Well we're Canadian, we'll think of something."
Wait, these guys are Canadian?
@@JT_Lich Yes. They're from my home province of BC too.
@@JT_Lich hail from Vancouver I believe.
@@BazzaroPlays This was filmed at the Kerrisdale Running Track in Vancouver BC
Its not a starter pistol.. its a finisher pistol
As a former Cross country and track and field runner i can 100% confirm this is how races would play out.
That middle breakdown is so good and heavy.
This band is so incredibly amazing. Blows my mind I had never heard of them until a few months ago. Big plus on being fellow Canadians
Definitely the best song of UTA! I'm totally addicted to the main riff and chorus. Brittney's voice keeps getting better and better. She's really the queen among all the great female metal singers of today. And it's amazing how cool a video clip can get even in the ongoing difficult situation of 2020.
Hi I'm here from 2021 and just wanted to say the situation is still difficult.
Now 2024 everything is all better.lol😂
I could watch her jog all day lol
I never watched the music video for this and now I love this band even more I mean they are already my all time favorite band, this is so goofy I love it
Brittney sounds so much like one of my favourite bands Heart. Very Ann and Nancy Wilson type voice.
Think this might be one of my favourite UTA songs. The whole album is phenomenal. I'm so, so happy I discovered them by chance!.
It would be crazy if Unleash The Archers made a song with Glory Hammer. This is my new favorite song of 2020.
Yes, I totally see that.
The possibilities are endless, quite literally.
Abyss is a really, really good album. Possibly my favorite in 2020.
Never in my did I think I’d be watching a Metal music video shot not 15 minutes from my house. KERRISDALE BABY!!!
JUST TWO WORDS...GREAT ALBUM!!!
I fu*king love this band and this video!
Before the race: entire band litters.
Radical environmentalist: Not on my fuckin watch.
This is normal life in BC.
😂😂😂
That smirk after she bopped him in the face. Love it.
I love how you could add the intro to literally any Rhapsody song and it would fit.
I thought it sounds like Stratosphere by Stratovarius :P
See, THIS is exactly why Metal is fun!
They are unbelieveably talented! Brittany's vocals are so powerful, I get chills everytime she hits those high notes. First song I ever heard from them was Cleanse The Bloodlines, I was so overcome with emotion I cried. Forever a fan!
Scott in shorts is never a bad idea
this album could possibly be the single shinning light of 2020...this could save the year for me. The anthem to bring in a new mindset!!
"Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape" by Black Crown Initiate is one of Abyss' competitors
@@shredforceone That album was killer. This album is killer. Now I'm just waiting for Draconian's new album.
@@shredforceone I do not disagree with that either; and the new Fates Warning is coming out...
Oh, Canada, I appreciate how hard you worked to shoot this video in your three weeks of summer
Brittney + Power Metal = ❤
What a chill ghost
Best song on Abyss. I had such a huge grin on my face when I first listened to it. \m/
This song is maybe my favorite on this album, and the album is amazing.
As funny as this video is, it’s actually SUPER good. She only realizes at the end that they didn’t die cuz they fell behind, they died cuz they were alone.
The album, Abyss is amazing. I listen to it front-to-back very often. So much variety and craft among the tracks. No one else has their mix of power metal, synthwave, story, screams, vocals… amazing. Can’t wait for part 3 of the Immortal saga.
How do you like the newest album?
@@leonkennedy3398 I think it’s a really strong and fun release. I think it’s super that Britney manages to sound like Ann Wilson at times during Give It Up Or Give It All which is my fav track. How about you?
Album of the year definitely!
This positive vibes exist in no other metal song ...so strong ..for me ❤🎉
Just became aware of this band a few months ago and I absolutely love these guys. 110% energy, God level musicianship, and Brittaney's unbelievable vocals. I hope that I will get a chance to see them perform live someday
I love people that dont take themselves 100 % serious all the Time
Those aunties congratulating her near the end haha
This song is so fun. Just pure fun.
Let's go 🔥
this is pure power metal live a fresh breeze from the early 2000
Yaaaasss hahahah love where she punches Grant hahahahaha Way to go UTA fun video!
Hi Mary! 😁
Hey Mary! Hope we get to see some new stuff from Helion Prime. Super jazzed you're fronting the band now.
These guys power the whole song at full throttle, incredibly powerful, super fast and intense. Performing the passages and transitions like they do makes me speechless every time I hear it !
Those 1970s style tube socks make you go FASTER THAN LIGHT...
brittneys determined face after scott dies is the best lol
Fun fact: at 4:28 those people applauding were random and not supposed to be in the video; genuine reaction from Brittany and them, so they kept it in :)
3:22 the supreme vocal performance!!!!!
I watched the video and my first thought was "The Long Walk". Then I read the video description and saw it was deliberate.
UTA has just a criminal amount of fun making videos like these. KEEP 'EM COMING!
What a great track, 10/10!
Recently my son has gotten into Track and Field and loves it.
This is now his theme song and MUST be accompanied by the video. :)
thats very great best masterpiece unleash the archers abyss classic album legendary of the world. I love great best band favorite unleash the archers. thank you unleash the archers the true power metal forever 🤘🎸
This video will, no doubt, be nominated for the short film oscar! Tremendous acting chops to go along with UTAs killer musical chops! 10-stars...BRAVO!
I could watch those yellow shorts jog all day. PINK SHORTS. I MEANT *PINK!*
hey hey hey if you're gay it's okay
Scott is such a hottie! His hair and porn stach make me smile :)
the beat is so FREAKIN hyped
Ready.set.GO!!
Totally amazing, of the current bands, my favorite!
Listened often to UTA while training for the pre-covid Boston Marathon which in the context of this video is hilarious.
XD XD
Nothing motivates more than iminate death
This is my favorite album to listen to while running right now and they made a video with the band running. I love it.
i felt that cramp on a spiritual level
Best music video ever
It's like a cross between Stephen King's "The Long Walk" and Neil Gaiman's "Stardust", with the spectator ghosts. Tangentially, if Stephen King and Neil Gaiman collaborated on a story or movie...
i dont even know what it is. This song made me weep. Maybe its because you guys made it from a small town (im from vancouver, and in a local band too.) or just the sheer genius of the music you guys make. Thank you :)
Im right now in a Hospital for 5 weeks and Abyss brightens my day 🤗 cant wait for the new Video 🤘 Cheers to all UTA fans and stay safe
Get well soon
@@stefanott650 thanks 🤘
Keep those horns up bud and get well soon. \m/
@@bountoj i will 🤘 i need to see them finally live 😁 thanks bud
Feel better soon, you're in good company!
This is definitely a Canadian band :)
That Disney Princess moment at 3:50
Great! Now i'm imagining Brittney doing Let It Go! Actually I might like Frozen more.
Brittney is an absolute princess.
*fans self in gay*
@@lucianomaly7505 The complete opposite for me. She is proof of my heterosexuality for me.
@@embran8486 Floor Jansen did a great cover from Let it Go, way better than the original version! Now I want to hear a version from Brittney too hahaha
Why does Scott look like he absolutely fits in with that look?
It's the stache lol
OMG! That gun fires tiny packets of jam!
Just absolutely magical XD
Honestly figured Scott would win. Every drummer I've known is in pretty good shape from all that cardio 😉🍻
He would have if he didn't pull a hammy.
Came here to say exactly that. Ain't no way in hell Scott would lose.
You haven't seen Gene Hoglan, just kidding
@@MrAxCerberus Nick Barker is right there with Hoglan.
I think Grant would have given Scott a run for his money though, he's seriously in shape
If you have the chance, always bang the drummer. Everybody knows only idiots fuck the singer or guitar player...
The musicianship is so fantastic it's absolutely ridiculous.
I will be faster than light to check it after the premiere. Greetings from Poland!
I wasn't a big fan but now this is my favourite song of UTA 😀
More songs is this style, please
As a music lover ... awesome.
As a track coach ... this hurts my soul.
That's an absolute win then!
I can't get enough of this
