Yesterday I went in for surgery. As I was being prepared, a nurse asks what music I like. I explained they likely would not have it in an OR, they asked for a few band names after I told them Metal... I woke up to this. Unleash the Archers is AMAZING! And so is Mass General Hospital's cardiovascular surgical team for playing music that brings me comfort.
you got that right I laughed at first when she did the 80's style voice intro, then holy fuck i'm blown away literally teary eyed she has a set of pipes on her holy fuck
HOLY SHIT!!!! 62 years.....I had to wait 62 years to find this! Omfg....thank you! The music, the theatrics, the setting and equipment, the goddess like lead....this is perhaps the greatest music video I've ever seen.
@@zeroshotx4082 ever heard Skeltonwitch Baptized In Flames? Or As Good As Dead by Through The Eyes Of The Dead? Pull the trigger by tteotd also has a savage intro.
For years I was convinced that metal vocals were exclusively a man’s game - there just wasn’t a female voice out there that had the power to change my mind. This changed my mind - completely.
Listening to music as I try to go to bed with my 7 and 4 year old daughters. I put this song on and my youngest was holding the notes and singing along. My oldest is laying with me doing the air drums. My daughters love you guys and my youngest, "Can I be like her?" I've always loved music and I hope that goes on to my daughters. I really wanna see you guys live. Hopefully you guys play somewhere in Florida after everything opens up. Thanks for allowing me to have this epic moment with my kids. 😁😁😁😁
+Taxtro That was my joke dagnabit! Probably over egged the pudding though. I wrote this whole paragraph directly above your comment one day before you wrote it lol ''The name of this band just seems ridiculous. ''Unleash the archers''? Who the hell keeps their archers leashed in the first place? What would be the point in that? I mean, do they even have their bows and arrows with them while they're leashed or do you have to, in fact, both unleash the archers and also unlock the cabinets within which their weapons have been stored? But surely if you kept all your archers leashed, they're not going to best pleased. Then when you do unleash them all, whose to say that they're not going to have a pop at you for leashing them up? ''Unleash the hounds'' I'd understand a little more but maybe the hounds are bother called Archer? And ‘’Unleash the Archers'' is actually a command to unleash the dogs? I don't know. Maybe I'm over thinking this.''
This was the first Unless the Archers song I ever heard about 6 years ago... and since then I have listened to everything I can find by them. When I finally set out on my post apocalyptic adventures, this is the theme song.
tbh not all of it. Quite a bit of any genre is formulaic and generic. Even the harder metals. However, considering this is the first time i've heard this group, I am beyond impressed. Although I could do with a bit more variation in guitar during the chorus. Blues Boxes exist. Use them you know?
The only thing that bugs me about this band is the guitars volume is lower than the drums 80% of the time instead of making it a bit even EPIC LOUD VOICE!/GOLIATH DRUMS!!/ teeny weenie guitar 😕
I went on a musical journey last night with lyriel as a starting point and went from there listening to female fronted metal for a while. it was all good until I came across this video. I have to admit I laughed when she did her 80's style voice intro. I thought it was cheesy. then it didn't take long (about 10 seconds)to realize I had stumbled across something very special. this womans incredible voice literally brought me to tears and sent a tangible and powerful surge down my spine. I went to see if she could pull it off live in another vid and good god christ she is even arguably better live if you can believe it! I have been a metalhead for 35 years or more and have not had music release endorphins like this song did. it was like a very powerful drug. I can't get enough and I hope they continue to make music like this. this band is great and write great songs but they simply would not be the same without her. she is tthe real deal. on par with the best! amazing and spine tingling!
I'm all for female fronted bands, especially metal bands. I enjoy symphonic metal, many of which have female vocalists. Truth be told though, most female vocalists cannot do these kinds of vocals. I think the only female vocalist that comes close to Brittney's ability (this is after only hearing this one song, mind you) is the powerhouse from Otep.
Been a fan of UTA for a long time and fuck I'm so happy to see this band getting the recognition they so rightfully deserve. Last time I watched this video it sat around 100,000 views and now it's above 3 million.
Man they rock!! I may be 65 years old but I know a good metal band when I hear one and boy, can they rock. She has a beautiful voice. I discovered them on Pandora by accident when I was surfing. Been hooked since. ❤
I've been on a musical journey all night. I started with Arch Enemy, then to Semblant, Butcher Babies, 10 more female fronted bands and I've ended up here. This is awesome.
Great power metal!!! I wish America embraced metal like Europe does. I'd love to turn on radio and hear it not suck because bands like this were on it.
The most metal bands we ever hear on the radio on the west cost of NA is 5 Finger Death Punch or Avenged Sevenfold, And even then, you'd never hear them on the mainstream stations. The only 2 rock songs I've heard play on the radio at work in past two months were Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirit and the Foo Fighter's - The Pretender. Those were probably the best 8 minutes at work in the past 2 months....
that's a comment from a well-rounded person right there. you're welcome to try out more metal, it's always good to find -FRESH MEAT- new people to enjoy our music with.
I just stumbled upon this band. That vocal at around 1:17 about made my head explode! The singer seems to have a nice warmth to hear voice so I wasn't expecting anything to pierce through the stratosphere but wow!! What a voice!! This band really jams as well. I shall continue my journey of checking out their catalog of tunes.
This is a voice that could level buildings better than a wrecking ball. What power! The whole band is amazing!! Second time hearing one of their songs. Unleash has a new fan. The video itself has an awesome Mad Max feel to it.
My favourite is the decked out senior citizen mobility scooter on the right of the screen at 2:07 The cow skull on the shopping basket looks badass! That's how I want to roll when I retire!!!!!
There is also the guy at 2:07 wearing the black polo top with the button done up... kinda blows the Mad Max vibe a little. LOL! It all adds to the charm though!!
Dumbass you know nothing. what he's tryin to say is that the band PLAYS with same passion and energy the 80's band once had, nothing about the way it sounds.
So you know when you normally don't like a certain style of metal... but then you just hear an all powerful voice that sends chills all throughout your body? Yea.... amazing voice...
Unleash the Archers is what happens when you find out that everyone in your D&D group is a) really, really into Power Metal & b) really, really GOOD...
I listen to this song several times a day. I suffer from pretty crippling depression and don't really find joy in anything anymore. It breaks my heart when I pick up my Bass or Guitar and have no passion to play. This song no this band has been one of the few things I've still loved. I don't remember hearing another song that hit me quite as much as this one since I first heard Metallica's Master of Puppets when I was a kid. \,,/
Depression is a sucky thing man, it actually took my tag team partner & little brother Korey from me. He was into music too. But if I can help in anyway. Whether it's to talk or just listen. I don't mind man. Anything to help u out, hopefully stuff gets better. I draw so I understand how emotions mess things up sometime s, I had crippling depression. I overcame it by trusting my Lord & savior Jesus & the postive ppl around me. Actually, I love this sort of music, as u can tell by my pro pic which is a mini anine me drawing of me. Stay strong thou buddy, I challenge u to keep doing what u love,that's music.
This is such a well shot music video. It totally does justice to how magnificent the song is. UTA are incredibly talented on every level. Every band member more than holds their own, and the songwriting/arrangement just keep getting better and better with each album. Best metal band of the last decade imo.
I must have literally listen to the song like 20 times in the past 2 days. This is amazing. Her voice is so powerful, so strong, so passionate. Well done!
This band always is the inspiration to get me through whatever life throws at me...these are my battlecries through this war called living. Thank you guys for giving me this awesome music to get through each and everyday
This is metal. This girl is singing it like a metal singer. The videos before this one, the female leads were singing "extreme pop"..like Amy what's her name from Evanescence...Amy Lee. This is metal. Her leads sound great!
Well, it's a good thing Amy never claimed to be metal. It's fans and other ignorant people who dubbed them as metal. According to Amy, Ev is a rock band, not a mtal band.
+Tiffany Enssle Extreme pop-rock. I'm sure Amy is one of your best buds and she appreciates you speaking up for her, though my comment wasn't in the least, malicious. I concur Evenessence most certainly was not metal. So...what's your point? LOL. We're both saying they aren't metal. STFU.
+Tricia Starrr I have just as much right to speak as you do, honey. So, if you are going to be rude, why don't you take your own advice? I was mearly stating that people often categorize bands or artists wrong. This whole rock/metal elitism is bullshit.
+Tiffany Enssle You initiate the negative conversation with a sarcastic response to my post, then you get offended when I don't play nice. Don't start anything, there won't be anything. I still say STFUF. You started it. Think before you speak.
+Tricia Starrr I was speaking of other fans etc. Maybe my first statement came across as sarcastic , but you turned it negative by telling me to STFU. I guess I inadvertently offended you, but did you ever hear two wrongs don't make a right or about being the bigger person? I know this is only a youtube comment section, but I guess I'll take that role and take my leave. Sorry. Bye.

@@joshp6061 Her vocal range is VERY wide She has a range from C#3 (which is the C# an octave below middle C) to D6 (which is the D two octaves above middle C).
I wasn't expecting much in the way of vocals thinking it was going to be some more talentless operatic style singing like in most female fronted metal bands. But, this was awesome! Great voice and musicians. Reminds me of Helloween, sort of. :)
+griffinmatter I assume you are refering to the nowadays female-lead metal bands, that sometimes are even straight forward copies of older ones, ain't right? Anyway, yeah... I gotta say I feel the same. It was a freaking nice surprise when I first heard them. They remind me of many other "classic" heavy metal bands too.
***** Yeah... that's how the industry works, my friend. Some places more, some places less, but at the end of the day no genre is really saved. Sooner or later, that way to do things reaches.
+griffinmatter When you say terrible you better not be refering to Halestorm, Evanescence, Otep, In this Moment, Flyleaf, or Within Temptation. If so get your hearing checked, because you must have too much shit in your ears.
I usually quite dislike songs with growling, it's just not my thing but in this song they are perfectly placed. I can't say I like a lot of their songs (since growls arent really my thing) but this one really stands out. It's epic, badass, really awesome work by band. Been headbanging and singing along to it for days now and there's no sign of stopping soon XD
cfbigmac1 yep, they use growls quite well, this song really stands out for me though xd Another band whose growls I enjoyed is "brezno", they use them perfectly in nearly every song, since they make it connected to the lyrics. Apart from "brezno" and this band, there's barely any songs with growl vocals that I would enjoy
MetalAlchemist8105 Too bad they switched to prog rock and he doesn't growl any longer. They used to be one of my favorite bands. I can't stand the last two albums. Bleh.
Gogz Thunder That's so bad, I liked the prog rock damnation, but I didn't even listen the last album when i found out the direction they were heading, I kinda miss songs like the night and the silent water or ghost of perdition, hope one day they return to basics
On top of the fact that Britt is an absolute goddess, that breakdown at the end from 4:55 onward is one of the gnarliest riffs and vocals I’ve ever heard. I often put this song back on and just loop that part over and over while head-banging.
This song is literally my anthem when I'm depressed and want to give up and I love it so much ❤ I hope this band knows how much they've touched even one person... This and awaken bring me so much feeling when I feel like I can't feel anything.. thank you guys so much ❤
Unleash the Archers - Tonight We Ride Hold on to this moment for all time, this is the night we ride I hear them calling our name Raising the flag and fuelling the flame I'll find my destination; don't tell me where to go I won't give in this time (feel the power) Not this time (scream it louder) Voyage o'er the mountains and wastelands Far beyond the sea lies fortune No regrets, just live for the fight Renounce your precious lives and ride Take hold of your steel chariot; though ours is gone, lives on Rise to the challenge or fall Nothing will hinder our rise to the call We'll find our destination, can't tell us where to go We won't give in this time (feed the hunger) Not this time (growing stronger) Voyage o'er the mountains and wastelands Far beyond the sea lies fortune We'll find our destination; let's go!

thats very great best masterpiece unleash the archers time stands still classic album legendary of the world. I love greatest best band favorite unleash the archers. thank you guys and brittney unleash the archers the true heavy power metal forever 🤘🎸
Okay so after years of listening and commenting, I have the official final verdict. I have heard all the greats. From 1979's Judas Priest, to Maiden to Battle Beast, Wind Rose, Within Temptation and Nightwish to name only a few. This song, Tonight We Ride, is now OFFICIALLY the greatest song ever recorded. There. It's done.
Just returning here after 5 years since discovering this unbelievable band with this video and it still hits just as hard. And they only get better with each album. I've yet to see them live, I was supposed to do so last week with Dragonforce, but fkn' Covid had other plans.
Yesterday I went in for surgery. As I was being prepared, a nurse asks what music I like.
I explained they likely would not have it in an OR, they asked for a few band names after I told them Metal...
I woke up to this. Unleash the Archers is AMAZING! And so is Mass General Hospital's cardiovascular surgical team for playing music that brings me comfort.
Thats dope man
Same for me when I broke my leg :D ! I was awake during the surgery and they put metal for me !!
I'm surprised that they would have anything like this! You got lucky man!
That is so damn cool. Hope you're healing well 🤘
Nice story , metal heals the soul😎🎸
Been a metalhead for nearly 25 years, brittany is up there with the best singers ive heard.
Never heard about Anneke Van G ? Headline ?
nope but ill have a listen
you got that right I laughed at first when she did the 80's style voice intro, then holy fuck i'm blown away literally teary eyed she has a set of pipes on her holy fuck
shes fucking amazing. its as if rob halford and dio had a child together.
these guys are awesome. makes me want to do some epic hardcore shit.
HOLY SHIT!!!! 62 years.....I had to wait 62 years to find this! Omfg....thank you! The music, the theatrics, the setting and equipment, the goddess like lead....this is perhaps the greatest music video I've ever seen.
5:35 whats the name of that song pls ?
@@morty8367 Civil War- Bay of Pigs
100% So EPIC! Though this video maybe be even better

Took me 66 years!!!!
Agreed
7 years later, and this song never fails to put a smile on my face.
Makes me almost cry every damn time.
One of the best intros out there imo
@@zeroshotx4082 ever heard Skeltonwitch Baptized In Flames? Or As Good As Dead by Through The Eyes Of The Dead? Pull the trigger by tteotd also has a savage intro.
It just hits every. damn. time.
You can't listen to this and not be energized to take on anything
My 4 year old refers to this as the "Pretty Lady that dresses like a crow" song and makes me put it on before preschool every morning.
I hope my future kids are like your four year old. Because they'll be listening to this whether the like it or not.
Good, the future is safe... this comment has restored my faith in humanity.
Fatherhood. Doing it right.
Surely the coolest kid in preschool
This brought a tear to my eye.
Totally found this group by accident, haven't stopped listening to them. 10/10 would recommend.
Same
Same here
Same
same
think u meant 12/10 would recommend? =D
Back in the 80's, that is how the guys sang.
+Bryon Lape The guys back then had to sqeesze their balls pretty hard to reach those high pitch sounds.
+biingo12345 that's why they all wore tight ass pants
Power Metal singers* yah. I was thinking xD Like Hammerfall not like 80's power metal when I heard this.
Old Hammerfall.
it sounds to me one inspiration for these guys was running wild
For years I was convinced that metal vocals were exclusively a man’s game - there just wasn’t a female voice out there that had the power to change my mind.
This changed my mind - completely.
Check out Nightwish with Floor Jansen.
Listen to Alissa from Arch Enemy, if this changed your mind that will blow it. I'd reccomend Into the Eye of the Storm, some of her best vocal work.
@@forkmasterderp919She’s kind meh/ generic. Angela was a better fit.
I recommended Aephanemer before Arch Enemy
This woman is legit one of the greatest power metal singers of the 2010's. Respect!!!
When I watch Brittney whip her hair around...
I find faith in God again.
Utterly breath-taking.
1:14-1:25 is the best part. the vocals are truly sung from the lungs of a Valkyrie carrying the soul of a hero to Valhalla.
^What he said.
Frosty TheLion also yes!
Its more like a hero singing to a valkyrie
The drummer fell off the back like 50 miles ago, but he's still rocking.
NO ROCK
THIS IS METAL

If they're doing that then you have successfully done two things: passed on your love of music and raised some awesome little humans.
5:35 whats the name of that song pls ?
My kid used to headbang bouncing on the bed to slipknot much to his mothers annoyance :D
awesome parenting
My husband is taking our 8 year old to see them in Atlanta this September. Tickets are like 20 bucks.
One has to wonder why the archers were leashed to begin with.
+Taxtro I don't know why this comment doesn't have more upvotes.
one of the best female front vocalists I've ever heard
+Zayd Qasas one of the most amazing female front vocals out there in metal

Oh sorry, I didn't see your comment.
In fact I only clicked on the video to leave my oneliner and leave the rest to the imagination. : 3
am I the only one that would like to hear her and Rob Halford do a tune together?
+chris spicer I would pay good money to hear that!
+chris spicer She'd make a fool of him, he just isn't capable anymore. Rob Halford back in the day? Hell yeah.
+Connor McMurray you may be right, his vocals are not what they used to be
If we could bring rob back from his 20s or 30s oh yes
+chris spicer For example :
her level : 2o %
Halford level : 1oo %

some people say heavy metal is stupid. i say they have no idea how much talent you need to sing like that.

+silverwolfe3636 they could do more with the backing instruments and not rely on the vocals so much.
That guitarist is pretty damn good too
You need exactly "her" much talent.
The only thing that bugs me about this band is the guitars volume is lower than the drums 80% of the time instead of making it a bit even
EPIC LOUD VOICE!/GOLIATH DRUMS!!/ teeny weenie guitar
😕
Her high notes gave me chills
Metal is as strong as it's ever been. This song is AMAZING.
i appreciate you sir, best comment
Truer words have never been spoken

Song is epic despite them literally driving 3 mph to keep them all safe.
Holy shit it's ACG, I love your reviews
There is also the guy at 2:07 wearing the black polo top with the button done up... kinda blows the Mad Max vibe a little. LOL! It all adds to the charm though!!
Facts lol
@@shadowplay.creations Maybe he was lucky enough to raid a box of Lacoste shirts from the abandoned warehouse!
@@calebfuller4713 Ahh yes... Lacoste! The preferred brand of the post apocalyptic renegade :D
It's nice to see new bands playin like 80's bands style.
No it's just power metal
Dumbass you know nothing. what he's tryin to say is that the band PLAYS with same passion and energy the 80's band once had, nothing about the way it sounds.
AsgaardSon A.S. exactly
Reminds me of Manowar with her vocals tbh
Raymond Legorreta I was thinking more Mercyful Fate
Mother of god what a voice thank you Canada
its been years since I heard this song, and it still hits SO hard. Long Live the Archers!!
its good to know great 80's metal hasn't died. her voice is amazing!!!
So you know when you normally don't like a certain style of metal... but then you just hear an all powerful voice that sends chills all throughout your body? Yea.... amazing voice...
it’s not so much genre but what you describe
Heard this and tasted run-to-the-hills for the first time again. You've brought me back to metal (six years, six months, and six days after release).
She hits all those notes including a ceiling shattering B6 likes its SOP.
Just saw them live on Wednesday.
Unleash the Archers is what happens when you find out that everyone in your D&D group is a) really, really into Power Metal & b) really, really GOOD...
That's a great group to be with!
Mystic shroud
this is amazing. they've gained a new fan tonight
listen to general of the dark army best song ever
Ripping through time
People coom about singers' vocal range, but something often overlooked is raw power and this chick's got it in spades.
I listen to this song several times a day. I suffer from pretty crippling depression and don't really find joy in anything anymore. It breaks my heart when I pick up my Bass or Guitar and have no passion to play. This song no this band has been one of the few things I've still loved. I don't remember hearing another song that hit me quite as much as this one since I first heard Metallica's Master of Puppets when I was a kid. \,,/
Alntaro Bloodmoon I really hope you’re doing better. I’m in that place now and it crushes me hearing when someone else experiences the feeling.
Depression is a sucky thing man, it actually took my tag team partner & little brother Korey from me. He was into music too. But if I can help in anyway. Whether it's to talk or just listen. I don't mind man. Anything to help u out, hopefully stuff gets better. I draw so I understand how emotions mess things up sometime s, I had crippling depression. I overcame it by trusting my Lord & savior Jesus & the postive ppl around me. Actually, I love this sort of music, as u can tell by my pro pic which is a mini anine me drawing of me. Stay strong thou buddy, I challenge u to keep doing what u love,that's music.
Hope it has gotten better for you and that you've found your passion again.
I know it's not much, but I hope you get better soon!
I feel this on a personal level
My heart goes out 2 u
Please, Pay Attention, Unleash of Archers will be the Savior of Heavy Metal in the World!!!! Great hug... Leo Barzi
(from Brazil)
Insane guitar players, insane singer, insane drummer, yeah i'm going to have to buy this album. This song could be a lesson in how to write a hook.
Dayum... the pipes on this woman.
This song feels like being 15 again and finding Angra for the first time.
And the growling at the end is just perfect.
This is such a well shot music video. It totally does justice to how magnificent the song is. UTA are incredibly talented on every level. Every band member more than holds their own, and the songwriting/arrangement just keep getting better and better with each album. Best metal band of the last decade imo.
I can definitely see why she is the vocalist! Those pipes!!!
& she knows the words ! lol
By all the Gods, This is absolutely breathtaking! By far one of the most amazing songs I've heard in a long while!
Firts time listening female power metal ..... it's so amazing
Welcome
Update us. What other female metal vocalists have you got to experience?
Ah, what about Elisa Martin's Dark Moor ? 😊
Power metal is just amazing regardless of who is singing my dude.
@@OVELLIX Tsk. Thats not the same style. Metal yes - power metal - no.
Thanks Guys for bringing metal to America since America doesn't do metal anymore. The metal heads of America appreciate great bands like you!
They are Canadian
I must have literally listen to the song like 20 times in the past 2 days. This is amazing. Her voice is so powerful, so strong, so passionate. Well done!
one of the most beautiful metal pieces I've heard in the last 10 years.
It's good to see that the guy who directed Tupac's "California Love" found work again.
Harv72b Nice👌
Harv72b are you shitting me?
haha
George Miller?
Ha ha, that's exactly what this video reminded me of when I first saw it! Either that or Mad Max.
This band always is the inspiration to get me through whatever life throws at me...these are my battlecries through this war called living. Thank you guys for giving me this awesome music to get through each and everyday
This is metal. This girl is singing it like a metal singer. The videos before this one, the female leads were singing "extreme pop"..like Amy what's her name from Evanescence...Amy Lee. This is metal. Her leads sound great!
Well, it's a good thing Amy never claimed to be metal. It's fans and other ignorant people who dubbed them as metal. According to Amy, Ev is a rock band, not a mtal band.
+Tiffany Enssle Extreme pop-rock. I'm sure Amy is one of your best buds and she appreciates you speaking up for her, though my comment wasn't in the least, malicious. I concur Evenessence most certainly was not metal. So...what's your point? LOL. We're both saying they aren't metal. STFU.
+Tricia Starrr I have just as much right to speak as you do, honey. So, if you are going to be rude, why don't you take your own advice? I was mearly stating that people often categorize bands or artists wrong. This whole rock/metal elitism is bullshit.
+Tiffany Enssle You initiate the negative conversation with a sarcastic response to my post, then you get offended when I don't play nice. Don't start anything, there won't be anything. I still say STFUF. You started it. Think before you speak.
+Tricia Starrr I was speaking of other fans etc. Maybe my first statement came across as sarcastic , but you turned it negative by telling me to STFU. I guess I inadvertently offended you, but did you ever hear two wrongs don't make a right or about being the bigger person? I know this is only a youtube comment section, but I guess I'll take that role and take my leave. Sorry. Bye.
0:50 the Gods of Power metal are smiling in approval!
[Verse 1]
Hold on to this moment for all time, this is the night we ride
I hear them calling our name
Raising the flag and fueling the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll find my destination; don’t tell me where to go
I won’t give in this time, feel the power
Not this time, scream it louder
[Chorus]
Voyage o’er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
No regrets, just live for the fight
Renounce your precious lives and ride
Take hold of your steel chariot; though ours is gone, lives on
Rise to the challenge or fall
Nothing will hinder our rise to the call
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ll find our destination, can’t tell us where to go
We won’t give in this time, feed the hunger
Not this time, growing stronger
[Chorus]
Voyage o’er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
(We’ll find our destination; let’s go)
[Chorus]
Voyage o’er the mountains and wastelands
Far beyond the sea lies fortune
[Outro]
Fly, redeem tonight
Destroy, renounce your precious lives and ride
Thanks for posting man. Appreciate it.
Gentleman, scholar, etc.
After all these years i can finally understand what she says, thank you man !
Everytime she says the first part i hear bob esponja
THE OCTIVE RANGE ON THE VOCALIST, HOLY SHIT!!!!
Well she doesn’t go low does she?
@@joshp6061 there are a couple of spots in this song where she does.
@@jeffrielly anyway what’s way more impressive is her ability to hold and shift notes at extremely high keys, for like the whole song
@@joshp6061 Her vocal range is VERY wide
She has a range from C#3 (which is the C# an octave below middle C) to D6 (which is the D two octaves above middle C).
She's belting the highs. That's the impressive part.
I wasn't expecting much in the way of vocals thinking it was going to be some more talentless operatic style singing like in most female fronted metal bands. But, this was awesome! Great voice and musicians. Reminds me of Helloween, sort of. :)
+griffinmatter I assume you are refering to the nowadays female-lead metal bands, that sometimes are even straight forward copies of older ones, ain't right?
Anyway, yeah... I gotta say I feel the same. It was a freaking nice surprise when I first heard them. They remind me of many other "classic" heavy metal bands too.
DrakosLord Exactly. I've checked out so many female fronted bands, and most are terrible. Nothing really exciting to offer except their looks. :)
***** Yeah... that's how the industry works, my friend. Some places more, some places less, but at the end of the day no genre is really saved. Sooner or later, that way to do things reaches.
+griffinmatter When you say terrible you better not be refering to Halestorm, Evanescence, Otep, In this Moment, Flyleaf, or Within Temptation. If so get your hearing checked, because you must have too much shit in your ears.
+griffinmatter Also don't forget Eluveitie. Most of these bands have topped the charts with one or more songs, beating mainstream bands.
Saw them this past December, She's studio quality and effortless singing this song live. So happy to have seen them.
She sounded BETTER live singing this song over half an hour into their set! One of the craziest shows I've ever seen
I usually quite dislike songs with growling, it's just not my thing but in this song they are perfectly placed. I can't say I like a lot of their songs (since growls arent really my thing) but this one really stands out. It's epic, badass, really awesome work by band. Been headbanging and singing along to it for days now and there's no sign of stopping soon XD
blazejecar I thought the same thing, growls are usually a turn off for me. But this song, this band for that matter, uses them well.
cfbigmac1 yep, they use growls quite well, this song really stands out for me though xd Another band whose growls I enjoyed is "brezno", they use them perfectly in nearly every song, since they make it connected to the lyrics. Apart from "brezno" and this band, there's barely any songs with growl vocals that I would enjoy
blazejecar I too dislike growls with the exception of the one and only Opeth
MetalAlchemist8105 Too bad they switched to prog rock and he doesn't growl any longer. They used to be one of my favorite bands. I can't stand the last two albums. Bleh.
Gogz Thunder That's so bad, I liked the prog rock damnation, but I didn't even listen the last album when i found out the direction they were heading, I kinda miss songs like the night and the silent water or ghost of perdition, hope one day they return to basics
On top of the fact that Britt is an absolute goddess, that breakdown at the end from 4:55 onward is one of the gnarliest riffs and vocals I’ve ever heard. I often put this song back on and just loop that part over and over while head-banging.
1:20 - Damn! She's got some vocals!!!
This song is literally my anthem when I'm depressed and want to give up and I love it so much ❤
I hope this band knows how much they've touched even one person... This and awaken bring me so much feeling when I feel like I can't feel anything.. thank you guys so much ❤

Songwriter: Hayes Brittney Janet
Found this through Tinder!❤ Thanks, Alan!
I just discovered this band 20 minutes ago and now I'm scared about how much I like them in such a short amount of time, woah
+Justin Laidlaw This sums up my current experience quite succinctly.
What a lovely song,what a lovely song!!!
Shiny and Chrome!!!
Damn. Her pipes are wicked.
Connor Quintana not how I would have worded it but yes, they are
The Turtle Lord My thoughts exactly.
Fuck me, mate. 4 years later and her voice still gives me the chills. Perfection.
Hands down and without question the greatest band ever in the history of recording
I’d love to see Unleash The Archers on tour with bands like Arch Enemy, Epica, Hammerfall, Nightwish, Powerwolf, Sabaton, Within Temptation, etc.
Brittney Hayes = Legendary singer in Metal!
The notes she can hit are insane!
\m/ \m/
They look like they were having so much fun filming this video and playing that song. Wholesome content 🥲🖤
She strikes like thunder, electrifing my soul every time she sings.
her voice is so powerful it shook the foundations of my house!
Señor no puedo dejar de escuchar esta canción me tiene cautivo , es su influjo metallico .
Arriba Unleash the Archers
concuerdo , me gusta esta banda .
Grita mucho pero buena banda jajajaj

Awesome vocalist. Very underrated.
Honestly this song, still has the motivational feel it gives to me after 4 years. It's *chef's kiss*

Civil War - Bay of Pigs
Them Iron-Maiden-Like high notes, slay me every time.
My exact thoughts too
More like Rob Halford
For this masterpiece, Unleash the Archers will most assuredly ride eternal in Valhalla, shiny and chrome. Witness them.
5:07 to 5:09 Sounds like Gollum "Precious!"
True! XDD
PRESCHIS
Gollum is a singer as well if you didn't know xD
Legends say that Scott is still sitting there drumming to this day
My vocal chords are starting to hurt just listening to this song. Incredible talent!
Why you even watching this video if you're going to dislike it? What's wrong with those foos. Best power metal on the planet 🤘
thats very great best masterpiece unleash the archers time stands still classic album legendary of the world. I love greatest best band favorite unleash the archers. thank you guys and brittney unleash the archers the true heavy power metal forever 🤘🎸
Okay so after years of listening and commenting, I have the official final verdict. I have heard all the greats. From 1979's Judas Priest, to Maiden to Battle Beast, Wind Rose, Within Temptation and Nightwish to name only a few. This song, Tonight We Ride, is now OFFICIALLY the greatest song ever recorded. There. It's done.
I thank thee, oh great Jim, the music scholar, from distant lands of Maine
Just returning here after 5 years since discovering this unbelievable band with this video and it still hits just as hard. And they only get better with each album. I've yet to see them live, I was supposed to do so last week with Dragonforce, but fkn' Covid had other plans.
5:35 whats the name of that song pls ?
The guitars, all the instrumental, the voices, her voice is spectacular...
are totally powerfull, but specially the guitars is that really amazes me.
The power and range in Brittney's voice is just mesmerizing.
5:35 whats the name of that song pls ?
Probably the most powerful female singer I have ever herd.
Floor Jansen and Brittney Slayes compete for belting endurance. I'm actually not sure who wins.
I lost the count the times I'm watching this masterpiece
+M Morais
I think I'm up to 20 in a week!
Omg lol. I think I beat you
Love this. Play it all the time. I would love to see them live!
Signing Unleash the Archers was one of the smartest moves Napalm ever made, and they've made a lot of smart moves.
