I am in LOVE with the female cyborg in this video! If only. This song AND video are a masterpiece. I cannot believe some ppl are actually COMPLAINING about it.
Found UTA about 4 years ago. Brittany has an amazing voice and does to metal what needs to be done, but it doesn't stop there. The whole ensemble is just amazing. I appreciate alot of metal, but few metal bands make me feel like I'm flying. UTA is up there with Iron Maiden for me.
If this and Ghosts in the Mist are representative of the rest of the album then I gotta say I might even like this one more than the last two, and I really thought they'd done their best already. Not saying I thought they'd fall off, but I wasn't expecting this to be so unbelievably captivating...
I love UTA!. They have done so many beautiful songs like "Northwest Passage" and "Awakening" just to mention a few. And now they did it again! "Green and glass" is amazing! Brittney's voice is like always clear as ice and smooth as silk and yet strong as steel. And that put together with those incredible musicians cannot possibly go wrong!
I honestly cant get enough of the one part early in the song, talking about how beautiful it was before the earth changed, and the music starts to get heaviee, and during the line "they ruined..." But stops short before finishing the sentence and it goes back to being "mesmerized in a dream". Love how they did that
Yup, the first pre-chorus buildup that abruptly cuts back into the verses... then it builds into the full chorus the next time. This song is magical for many reasons.
very nice! I can't wait to hear it within the context of the rest of the album. some of the melodic choices that Brittany has made on the vocal track are especially gorgeous...
Found this band a few years back. After the pandemic. They played in Boston and I got to meet them backstage. Not only is this band incredible, so are the people. I was so psyched to hear this. Thanks for making year already.
I found out about them on a random TH-cam click when apex came out. Been a huge fan since. Love the musicianship. Can't wait till they tour the East Coast
@@romanianguy90 I took discovered them on TH-cam, but the song that I heard at the time was Tonight We Ride, at first I wasn't all that interested, I was still into heavy metal like Amon Amarth and Arch Enemy, and it wasn't until a week later that I heard the song again and fell in love with the band
@Frikoppie you seem like a very unhappy person, go wallow in your misery alone. Don’t try dragging other people down with you, because you’re miserable.
Will be my first time for UTA which is honestly why I really went to see this tour. But I saw Powerwolf last year for my first time, and they absolutely killed it. One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.
I got the collector's edition of the album with the storybook and it makes this video and the album so much better. They could literally have done an entire trilogy of albums to try and cram all the stuff in there. Phantoma and Mach gaining sentience and bodies to seek out the Collective, Quora's insanity, Phantoma raising a small army of droids... the final confrontation between Phantoma and Quora is also pretty satisfying. The story itself is written with the quality of fan-fiction, but the ideas behind it are really solid and I hope UtA explores this theme more.
So many Heavy Metal vibes in this Im craving a "Heavy Metal 3000" movie! Brittney as the new "Julie"? UTA is canadian so it's only fitting that this actually happens!
@@raifsevrence there is no ai here. those who would surrender their artistic prose to a ghost in a machine, are destined to deliberate to their demise. i would suggest that you stop parroting AI at every turn, and think for yourself, as UTA has done here. you embarrass yourself.
@@paulm8908 ...did you read the description or the disclaimer at the beginning? they said it themselves that it is AI, everything but the environments were animated in stable diffusion
Ever since i discovered this band a year ago, I find out this song came out recently. is it wrong that ive listened this song about 15 times alrdy? i cant wait for the album in May and then see them /w powerwolf in August in LA. U ROCK UTA!!!!
Drunkenly wandered backstage at a small venue in Canada the band invited me into their room and i got a little video messing around with Brittany. She was great. This band is a gem.
For everyone saying this isn't as good/powerful as Abyss, have you heard Through Stars? Carry The Flame? Afterlife? I feel like Green And Glass is like one of those songs from Abyss. Wait until the FULL RELEASE to cast your judgement.
I agree composition wise this song is very good. My biggest gripe is the mix tho. The guitars and music in general seem a little bit too far back in the mix compared to Brittneys vocals. It's Power Metal I want to be punched in the face with the sound but these are just my initial thoughts. Other than that it's a solid song and I'm glad they're finally putting out new stuff again.
I am so pumped for the rest of the album. What a nice surprise waking up to a new UTA video drop. Love the aesthetics of the video. The song is great, too. I'm hopeful for some heavier songs like we've had in the past. Really miss the brutal stuff. Keep it up guys, love your music.
Lol Kingsley as a cartoon is exactly what I needed this evening. From your first band(can’t remember the name but definitely not Horde of Anachron) to November Witch to Uta. You’re a beauty bud.
This is the correct way to do it if you are opting for AI imaging, use a set of images that you have paid for the rights to do so. If the artist consents and is compensated, no harm no foul. It's when people's work is taken without consent or compensation and used for AI imaging, then it becomes theft.
"Created in Unreal Engine 5 and animated in Stable Diffusion with AI models trained on the licensed artwork of Bo Bradshaw. " so no, the art wasn't stolen, it was licensed so the artist was paid for his work and is apparantly designing merch as well.
@@ellipsis...1986 Looks like rotoscoped, so more than likely it's the band members themselves greenscreened and the AI imaging used afterwards. They still paid for the license to use the artwork of Bo Bradshaw. This is far from them just using AI for free like in 99% of cases.
Props to the band for trying to do AI the right way, paying an artist to use their work. I'm hopeful we'll see more of this, and less of the current status quo.
Hard agree. Was kind of bummed to see AI originally until I saw the initial message. Seems like a good compromise for someone with more limited means to create music videos.
I'm assuming the artist was involved and not just paid to be replaced by AI. The video looks good and I'm sure AI simplifies the process but I could do without the AI glitchyness. I don't think it adds anything and will only be remembered as "...because that was the style at the time".
@@cobrala4554agreed. Brittany stood in for Floor on a recent Ayreon track. Probably one of the few who could. Something about those tall, dark-haired women I guess 😊
Very cool. VERY Heavy Metal, by that, I mean reminiscent in way of style, artwork, and story of the Tarna Saga in the 1981 feature length Heavy Metal animated movie. Might not have been the plan, but it brought me back to my childhood for a few minutes. Thank you.
Same here. The mix seems off as well and the video certainly doesn't help. It's not a bad metal song but it's not up to the standard I have come to expect from archers after apex.
Fantastic song as always, the AI art thing brings an odd "uncanny valley" kind of thing to the faces that's really offputting though. Neat to experiment with, ugly in practice.
@@luciferthedoberman8991 oh, I thought you meant them specifically. Concerts have been back in full force since 2022, but yeah…those were dark times for sure.
Pre-ordered the album the moment I heard about it. Then heard this song and I can't wait to get the whole thing. If this song is just the teaser for the rest of the album, that thing can't get here fast enough.
DUDE! This Video is so AWESOME that I stopped what I was doing just to focus on it! To 'Unleash the Archer's': You guys are the most amazing band I've ever found! I discovered you guys back when "Apex" was new and "Time Stands Still" was gaining serious traction, let alone the Awesomeness of "Demons of the Astrowaste"; I just had to have more of your AWESOME music! Then came "Abyss" which blew me away! Then outta the blue: "BOOM!" Phantoma!?! I bought a copy as soon as I could, before I ever even saw these songs on TH-cam; seeing the videos with the music has only enhanced the experience! You guys ROCK! 🤘😆

I'm going to see them and Powerwolf live for the first time in August
Will be my first time for UTA which is honestly why I really went to see this tour. But I saw Powerwolf last year for my first time, and they absolutely killed it. One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.
I'm seeing them in NZ in June, first time they've been here, can't wait! Wish Powerwolf would come too though, definitely jealous of that.
You will all love them live! Saw them pre-pandemic in Edmonton AB. Awesome show :)
Right on! I'm seeing both for the first time in September
Two bands with no full-time bass player. Weird coincidence.
dang I cant stop listening to this song... you guys are so amazing!!!!!!
Very creative and fair use of AI.
People saying "it's stealing" don't understand what they are talking about.
And you don't understand how "AI" works, so sit down and shut your yap.
So awesome that you licensed the art work instead of stealing from other artists. Mad respect.
Had the song repeating in my head at work all day. Finally off and listening to it AGAIN for the 40th time lmao

I love the story telling aspect of Unleash the Archers' music.
Brittney Slayes is one of the best writers and vocalists in not just the metal scene but all of music today!
This could be the future, if we quit fighting over religions, politics, and races.
The new album is supposed to also be a concept album
Need more literature majors in bands.
