Send Britney a message, she does interviews with everyone which is fantastic. She rocks as does the band.
She is the most down to earth person you could ever talk to. I'm sure she'd be glad to talk.
She's cool and it's a really good business move as well.
definitely send her a message and check out her interviews with The Charismatic Voice and other TH-cam channels.
I'm just a fan and she responds to me regularly. She did today actually. I was in bands forever and couldn't keep up with DMs, and here she is ruling the world of social media
Yeah Tonight We Ride, Abyss, General of the Dark Army, Cleanse the Bloodlines, Time Stands Still, Northwest Passage,
theres just sooo much.
dreamcrusher never gets any love :(
nevertheless those are amazing
i second northwest passage just so you can hear what she sounds like when just singing without all the super speed music
I agree on Northwest Passage
Amazing reaction! "Tonight we ride" to hear Brittney do stuff you won`t believe.
Or "Test Your Metal".
@@ChrisPage68 Test Your Metal vocals are I.N.S.A.N.E.
"Tonight we ride" is a great choice for showing off Brittney's abilities. Both the high mix belting and the totally insane amount of power in her low chest voice.
Tonight we ride is always a good choice, one of my favorite songs ever
Brittney is a total nerd (the cool kind) when she's not on stage. That makes her even more awesome.
I was once when she streamed on Twitch playing The Last Of Us.
all nerds are cool
Must see britney singing brindisi in rock opera battles... awesome... And by the way she is the composer of the songs of UTA in a great part of it...
+1 on her doing Brindisi, had me humming that song for two days and I dont listen to Opera....ever? Guess I am now.
@@MatsGarage if you can, go see one
The Charismatic Voice has a great interview with Britney Slays. Also, another great vocal coach.
Alex Hefner too.
Mr rock and roll has interview and has done a couple different reactions with britney slays
i'm absolutely a brittney mark, period, but scott will NEVER get the credit he deserves as a drummer
I'd recommend, "Tonight we ride", Or "Northwest Passage" For your next UTA reactions
And UTA wins another fan... Christi has been catched.
You might like the song "Tonight we ride" which has a Mad Max theme. She can reach some really high notes in that song. "Abyss" is also a great listen. And finally my favorite song from Unleash The Archers is "Cleanse the Bloodlines".
And the CTBL video is one of the greatest music videos ever made! So damn cinematic, it's a mini movie!
Where to go: WINTERSUN - Time (live @ Sonic Pump studios)
Incredible singer, incredible musicians.
cheers!
Making Christi a Metalhead, final boss lol
I would say Dark Tranquility, Amon Amorth, Seven Spires, Epica, or Dimmu Borger
I want to reinforce what some others have said here - UTA embraces reaction channels. They will not copyright strike you, and Britney has done several collabs with reaction channels. She is genuinely a true sweetheart. Please reach out to her, I’m certain she will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Love you Christie, Love you Britney!
Also it helps that they are on Napalm.
First time I saw this video really had me upset at myself wondering how a band this talented had eluded me. Taking a look through my library, that has since been corrected 😂
Ok. Really looking forward to this one. Who can resist the absolutely fantastic Britney Slays and UTA.
And as great as she is on this song...this one song doesn't do her talent justice!
Brittney Slayes has all the skills… Not only does she have tremendous range, and she could seeing anything from raspy and scream me to clean, but she can also sing opera very well and it was a chamber choir singer in her teen years. Watch her version of the song “BRINDISI”, done recently. Also watch unleash the archers singing Tonight We Ride.
bro do you know a song of them that she is the one who does the screams
Um I'm pretty sure she doesn't do unclean vocals cept maybe a grunt here or there .. I guess I could be wrong
She's admitted in an interview (I think it was the one with the Charismatic Voice) that she never did learn to do unclean vocals and feels it's too late for her to learn them.
So that's the one thing she can't do.
If you’re looking for Goddess Slayes best vocals I’d recommend Time Stands Still or Test Your Metal. Tonight We Ride she also belts up to an A5🤯
Its been a while since I saw the interview, but I believe she stated her influences are Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Queensryche. There’s no bad choice for which song you do next, but for a great contrast, you might want to try Northwest Passage or Time Stands Still.
The song Tonight We Ride also shows how much additional range she is capable of.
Can’t wait for the next one.
Yes! Northwest Passage shows a really nice different side.
Don't forget Lost Horizon
I believe one of Brittney‘s major influences is Geoff Tate from Queensryche. You should totally check out her karaoke cover of their song Queen of the Reich, as well as Geoff singing Take Hold of the Flame live in Tokyo. They’re both incredible vocal showcases.
There is a studio cover too
It blows my mind that already amazing voice can sing opera as well. The whole band is incredible at what they do.
I would love to see a reaction on Northwest Passage. It focuses more on Brittney's Voice than most of their other songs.
It's also a cover of a song by Stan Rogers. You should check out the original first to get a baseline
Omg, leeeeets gooo....
Welcome to my world..
UtA...
Actually, u can choose ANY UtA song and you want be disappointed... True words.
But just to help you a bit, here some recommendations :
Range? Tonight we Ride (2015)
Good video? Cleanse the Bloodlines (2017)
Some "older" stuff : General of the dark army (2011)
New ones: Abyss, Soulbound, Legacy or Faster than light (all 2020)
And we have so much more....
So yeah, happy to see you are into UtA journey and hope you want take too long to react to some other UtA Song...
Btw. UtA are NEVER EVER claiming copyrights on reactors videos, I think I saw every single one YT UtA reaction, and not even one was banned.. So feel free to enjoy...
Stay safe, greetz from 🇩🇪, and sry 4 my bad english
I also wanted to say kudos to the mixer of this particular track. It´s perfectly done.
Don´t you guys forget, that there are more people than the band behind all great composures.
Love your reaction. she really shows off her range in songs like Tonight we Ride, General of the Dark Army, Abyss, many others. you should check more out.
Great review, I loved your excited reaction to the listening experience of this band. The awakening is my favourite Unleash the Archers song, makes me feel good every time I listen to it. It’s supercharged excellence.
Top reaction. Nice to see your appreciation of their talents (not only vocally), totally agree.
About the "stopping" - if one wants to listen to the song, they can listen to it on YT all they want. We are here for your reaction and insights❤
EXCELLENT breakdown of the entire song. love that you go back through the whole thing a second time
Couple other things to remember that Apex and Abyss are two concept albums. They have story lines running throughout so best to try yo listen to them in order so to speak.
I know you're a vocal coach and don't focus too much on lyrics, but I'll leave this here anyway.. Band info included after lyric breakdown...
Here's a vague breakdown to give you a bit of context behind this songs lyrics and the album it's from - Apex(2017).
This is a concept album telling a story track by track about an Immortal being. This is the opening song(chapter 1) on the album. It is sung from the Immortals perspective(not all the tracks are), about being awoken in his mountain hollow from a 1000 year sleep. As a covenant of birth, the immortal must do the bidding of whoever awakens him. As the tracks progress, you find out that The Matriarch(which is played by the male vocalist in this song Awakening) was the one to awaken him. She wants him to find her four sons, so she can kill them and perform a blood ritual to gain immortality for herself(pretty dark haha), and his journey to find them. Each son has their own song about them on the album. The closing song Apex, is about the immortal going back to sleep in his mountain and it is a phenomenally written song.
Their new album which came out in August 2020, is a continuation of this story, and the immortal has awoken on a spaceship confused as hell wondering where his mountain is, from the single Abyss. I won't go into the rest of the album 🤘🇨🇦
They are from Victoria, British Columbia.
Brittney Slayes - Vocals
Grant Truesdell - Guitar/Harsh Vocals
Scott Buchanan - Drums
Andrew Kingsley - Guitar/Clean and Harsh Vocals
Other songs to check out by UTA:
Extreme Vocals - A5 Belting:
Tonight We Ride (official video)
Time Stands Still (official video)
Awesome Harmonies/Layering:
Legacy (lyric video)
Soulbound (official video)
Epic Storytelling:
Cleanse The Bloodlines (official video)
The Wind That Shapes The Land (official audio) also it's their best composed piece of music in my opinion. The composition matches the emotions of the lyrics and is a masterpiece
Breath Control:
Abyss (official video - she finishes the song with a 21 second run on one breath)
Thanks for the info. I'm definitely getting this album today!
@@johnmiett6032 Get both Apex and Abyss. The whole story arc. Well worth it. 👌
@@johnmiett6032 you're welcome! I highly recommend listening to Apex 2017 in order first then moving on to the Abyss 2020 album and listen to it in order. And if possible, definitely have the lyrics pulled up, so you can take in the storyline. The epic musicianship accompanied by the epic story telling really sets off the listening experience.
Enjoy 🤘
I would add shadow guide from Apex. Otherwise your list is perfect!
@@mikegershon8528 you can honestly add any song haha it's so hard to narrow down a list
The first, gentle, headbanging moves and a big smile on your face: it's a good sign...
"Tonight We Ride" for sure should be the next and then "Cleanse the Bloodlines". All the songs on Apex and Abyss are amazing. Both of these albums have the same storyline which Britney explains in several youtube videos. Awakening is the first track on Apex.
Tonight We Ride and Cleanse The Bloodlines are my two favorite songs.
I really need to set this as my alarm clock. No way to sleep through this.
Another shining example of why exploring music is so important, and how genres that may not typically be your jam can still inspire you.
That was a very, very nice reaction. Love it !!! You need to listen to "TONIGHT WE RIDE". Brittney`s vocals here are phenomenal. I can`t wait to see more "Unleash The Archers" reactions on your channel, because I love this Band so much. They are freaking awesome !!!
Her voice shines even more in Tonight We Ride.
Definitely loved the video, and reaching out to Brittney is one of the best things you can do. She and the whole band are wonderful human beings, super down to earth. As an added bonus, they just won a Juno Award for best Heavy Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year.
One of the best reactions! First time i see a reaction by u, interesting & honest. Well done!! Archers.....simply fantastic!!
Great reactions and Awakening summed up with one word so well said.. "Chills"
Love, love, love! Your reaction to this video. Please check into more on this band. Can't wait to see more of your reactions in the future. This band is AMAZING 👏
Unleash the Archers - Legacy
Mellodic but awesome. Like this one.
Check out her singing Queen of the Reich by Queensryche at a karaoke bar in Edinburgh. She Slayes that karaoke bar 😊👍
Do yourself a massive favor and listen to: full Unleash the Archers albums Apex and Abyss. Also Northwest Passage, and Britney doing karaoke is excellent fun.
Yes - they are concept albums that tell a story - Need to listen to the songs in sequence...
just missed Chat but we knew you'd love this. UTA and Brittany are brilliant. She is also very nice and fan friendly , and has been on with a couple of reactors. With your 62k she'd join you if you contacted her. And there is Alter Bridge you'll love Myles Kennedy ( I know I'm a pest) and Charlotte (formerly in Delain) as someone commented in Chat.
Her voice is just the most powerful engine. You get the feeling in most of the songs not just of range (which is astonishing - those high harmonies? wow), but also, it's like she could put the pedal down and just sustain forever in the power of those notes. Really something. Great reaction. I do think an interesting contrast reaction would be to Northwest Passage - completely different kind of song.
Nothing better than watching a musician watch this video! The most talented musicians all together and, you're correct, that no one person outshines another. To top it all off, this song begins a 2 album epic fantasy/sci-fi story. If you want to see more, my personal favorites are abyss, faster than light and soul bound. That was grant with the uncleans. Andrew actually has an incredible clean voice that totally took me by surprise in the song "carry the flame". Enjoy! I'll be here for the next one!
"This is holy ground here, people"
I am always moved by good music, but I think this may be my new favorite phrase to describe true ear candy :)
"Tonight We Ride" should definitely be the next Unleash the Archers song you react to. Brittney's vocals in the one are just unreal. She hits notes that should rightfully shatter your monitor screen.
Great reaction Christi! Have you considered interviewing Britney? She done interviews with other TH-cam reactors. I think interviewing with you would be quite exceptional. I hope to see it soon ;-)
You have been UNLEASHED!
Britney is a great interview. As people have said below, she understands that TH-cam creators are helping promote their music.
Mark, at the Kardavox Academy channel, teaches and enthusiastically reviews and analyses the techniques of singers using false fold and fry techniques. Fun to dip into.
Grant is a great laugh, as well as a phenomenal guitarist/vocalist. He often drops into the comments on UTA reactions.
If you want to hear how influenced Brittney is by Heart, I recommend Apex by Unleash The Archers. It's the last song on the album of the same name - this is the opening track.
And I think you're ready for "Lovebites - Edge Of The World". You are going to ADORE Asami's vocals.
Always love your reactions and your new hair style. Brittany is a powerhouse of a voice. You did her justice.
"Time Stands Still" is probably my favourite UTA song, and it has a pretty cool video. I'd also recommend "Through Stars" and "The Wind That Shapes the Land;" though neither of these songs have a video to go along with them. Just the audio track with album art.
This really is the tip of the iceberg that is UTA. One recommendation that I have is “Northwest Passage” because I think it showcases Brittany’s range very well. Also, a couple different styles that the band can display as well. I can’t wait to see your journey continue. Enjoy Eh!
And Brittany is so down to earth and nice. She really is amazing!
Hi Christi Thanks for listening to my fellow Canadians.
This band is a combination of musicians who have mastered their craft, and a woman with a very powerful voice, and a group that synergizes very well together. This reminds me of some very good classic rock bands like iron maiden and Metallica where they just played so well together and feed off of each other’s energy.
I love that last statement @ the end of this video. Very inspiring 👏 you have a huge heart ❤ I can tell. God bless & protect you always. You are a beautiful person indeed. 🌞👍
always good to see another video of you ♥
The Wind that Shapes the Land is incredible
Christie, all the member's in U.T.A are talented, you'll notice that quite quickly in.
Brittany Slays, singer, hails from Canada. To me Brittnay has skills, she really has outstanding vocal ability.
P.S. I believe Brittany & the Drummer are a couple too.
Anyways, I can't wait for you're "bedazzled" by this band like I was.
And to the surprise of non of the fans, the band just won the Juno awards for their recent album Abyss.
Yesssss !!!! This is GREAT ! They deserve it. Love them so much.
If you want to see a bit more of her you should watch the Tonight we Ride video. Craaaazy range!!!
I love your metal reactions Christi! There is so much amazing music in the genre to check out, you have just barely brushed the surface. Looking forward to future UTA reactions and other bands you get introduced to as you get more into metal and all it's fabulous diversity. Are you going to watch the Nightwish virtual concert?
Hey Christy! Love your analysis on metal, especially on Floor and Unleash the Archers...... Particularly the musicians! Keep up the good work, love from Australia xo.
Song from the same incredible album is Matriarch, my personal favorite, but anything off Apex or Abyss is incredible.
Really looking forward to seeing what you think of this.
Amazing reaction! Loved it. Greetings from Portugal!
"Tonight We Ride", "Cleanse the Bloodlines", "Abyss", "Northwest Passage"
All of UTA's work is outstanding.
Loved your reaction. Grant and Andrew have been best friends since they were 12, and as far as talent they are musical twins.
Hi, Christie! Power Metal describes a metal subgenre with fast-pase rhythms and high overall bpm -- generally speaking. It has this feeling of something grand, open, and is charging you with energy -- for me at least :) Brittney is crazy good, she can go sooo high witout any apparent effort.
I wanted to leave a suggestion here for you: please take a look at Charlotte Wessels with her song "Soft Revolution". She was a frontwoman and a songwriter of Delain, Dutch Symphonic Metal band, since 2005 -- but this february, after releasing six albums, this parted ways, and now Charlotte is doing her solo music with the help of her Patreon community. Her songs are absolutely magical, and her voice... well, you need to hear it yourself!) Please take a look at Charlotte: I'm sure you'll love this! :)
“Tonight We Ride” ~ a gem 💎
Just thought I'd put this out there. A big congratulations to Unleash the Archers for winning a 2021 Juno award (Canada's version of the Grammys) for best metal album for their album - Abyss.
I am so going to enjoy your upcoming UTA reactions. 😊
Great reaction - so glad you found these guys. They are great musicians and really lovely people too. Brittney seems up for interviews too, you should reach out to her! Next song I would say should be Cleanse the Bloodlines...
Enjoyed your analysis/reaction. I very much can tell you are a learned person.
I’ll add my vote for Northwest Passage, their take on an old Canadian folk song. Also definitely check out her opera performance. Fun stuff!
Christi - so thrilled to see you dive into UTA and the amazing Brittany Slayes! Beyond an incredible singer, she is amazingly kind & humble person, who makes herself available to many TH-cam reviewers, and I’d love to see y’all have a conversation. She does a really amazing video singing Brindisi (“Power Metal Opera Battle) that you will thoroughly enjoy.
Its lovely to see you getting what heavy metal has to offer to really open ears Christie:) They indeed take no prisoners and im delighted to see how expecially ppl with trained ears appreciate this monster musicianship as myself being an amateur musician who has skills as much as these guys having on their toe nails:) cheers!
Great reaction as usual. Thank you Christie. Next UTA song I recommend is Tonight We Ride. The Vocals are mind blowing.
The Wind that Shapes the Land !!!!! time stands still, cleanse the bloodlines, tonight we ride, and Canadian folk classic; Northwest Passage
“…and that is how you do it!” Agreed! 🤘
Please do another UTA tune, soon. 😉
The drums in this one are absolutely sick.
Welcome to the UTA power metal masterclass. Great reaction, Christi - probably my favourite reaction to this song, and I've seen quite a few now. I love how you broke down all parts of the song and showed appreciation for how everything was performed and how it all comes together to make an amazing performance. So many people just focus on the lead vocalist and don't understand how the actual music enhances their performance. Having said that, Brittney does Slay. I think the vocalist doing the extreme vocals was Grant Tuesdell, and I think it was more of fry with a dash of growl in this case, than a full false-fold growl, which is why it had more tonal quality. Most full growls are a lot lower in pitch. I haven't watched your channel for a while - busy time - but I saw you were reacting to this song, so I just had to watch. I have no regrets. I loved your excitement and your appreciation of the musicians' skills. It still blows me away every time I watch it. This is also the first time I've seen your new hairdo. It looks great. I also like 'Tonight We Ride' and 'Cleanse The Bloodlines' for more of the same from UTA and some epic music videos, but 'Northwest Passage' is something very different that you might like to compare.
If you like seeing this sort of metal mastery and a mix of clean and extreme vocals, you should also check out Finnish band, Wintersun's epic 'Sons of Winter and Stars' live play-through, with a young Kai Hahto, 'the human metronome', and Nightwish's current drummer, on drums. The metres are insane - too complex for my non-musical brain to follow at times, but you might be able to appreciate it more - with incredible periods of sustained 'blast speed' drumming from Kai. The guitars, bass and drums are incredibly tight and evolve through several different styles, as do the clean and unclean vocals from the lead singer, Jari Maenpaa (several umlauts missing from that - bloody Finns), who uses, growls, fries and a very emotive, soulful clean voice, then mixes and matches with several different hybrid versions of all of those. The bassist and lead guitarist, Jukka Koskinen and Teemu Mantysaari, also do some amazing clean and extreme vocals in back-up and chorus, and either of them could probably be lead vocalists as well - they sound that good.
On a completely different tangent, you should try reacting to (or just watching) 'The Wagakki Band', a Japanese Folk Rock/Metal/Pop/Jazz/Classical/Whatever-they-feel-like-today band, that combines traditional Japanese instruments (literally 'wagakki' - koto, shamisen, shakuhachi flute and wadaiko drums) with western rock instruments (drum kit, electric guitar, bass guitar, piano / keyboards). They have a communal composition style. Whoever comes up with the idea for a song, leads the composition, but each instrumentalist does their own arrangements. The lead vocalist is Yuko Suzuhana, who conceived and formed the band, plays piano / keyboards, wites most the ballads, and sings in a 'shigin' (traditional Japanese poetry recital) style, as well as conventional vocals, and punk/rap. Lead guitarist, Machiya, usually shares or backs up vocals, as does bassist, Asa, but other members sing occasionally aswell.
The shigin style vocal is very piercing, with a warbling vibrato, designed to cut through the metallic sound of the traditional instruments, and Yuko uses this regularly with conventional vocals and rap, which some people don't like, because it's so different to Western singing. My favourite tracks of theirs are 'Ignite' (fast/almost punk rock, written by guitarist, Machiya, with staccato rap vocals from Yuko and Machiya, and clean vocals from Yuko), and 'Synchronicity' (jazz/swing style duet with Machiya and Yuko, which is a conversation between a couple who are body-swapped when hit by lightning, written by Yuko).
There are often a lot of copyright issues with their music videos, due to their old record label, Avex, but their most recent live shows, under their new label, Universal, seem much more accessible for reactors. Songs from their 'React' EP Tour (2019), Premium Symphonic Night Vol. 2 (with full orchestra and collabs with Amy Lee from Evanescence), and their 'dai Shinnenkai' (New year) concerts from 2019, 2020 and 2021 seem pretty accessible and sound quality is good.
'Senbonzakura' (Thousand Cherry Blossoms), 'Akatsuki no Ito' (Threads of Dawn) and 'Tengaku' (Music of the Heavens) are some of their big hits, but Yuko's vocal styles are probably more highlighted on ballads, like 'Sabaku no Komoriuta' (Desert Lullaby), 'Izana' (Powerful Woman), 'Queen of the Night' (about the flower, not the aria) and 'Okinatayuu' (Albatross). 'Yoshiwara Lament' is a popular pop song written by bassist, Asa, and there are collabs with Amy Lee from Evanescence of 'Bring Me To Life' and 'Senbonzakura', plus they released a COVID-inspired track together with an animated music video called 'Sakura Rising' (Cherry Blossoms Rising). There are several of their songs that have been used as anime themes, like 'Aria of Life', 'Valkyrie', 'Rokuchounen to Ichiya Monogartari' (A Tale of Ten Thousand Years and a Night) and my favourite, because it's just insane, 'Noushou Sakuretsu Girl' (Brain Fluid Explosion Girl).
Finally, another interesting tangent for you might be 'Bol Hu' by Soch, The Band (Pakistani Soul), featuring Hadiya Hashmi. Don't research it too much. It has a WTF moment, like Jinjer's 'Pisces', but completely unlike Jinjer's 'Pisces'.
A good primary education for this genre is Metal: A Headbanger's Journey, a 2005 documentary film directed by Sam Dunn (also a Canadian), followed by Global Metal from 2007 iirc.
Brittney studied music at university in Vancouver. She was in choir and has has sung opera. She live-streamed an opera duet with a male Metal singer. She has done several interviews with TH-cam reactors and their label Napalm records doesn’t copyright things usually. They like the free publicity of their bands.
The way I learned to do scream vocals was placing the power in the nasal cavity taking the strain off the vocal cords.
Okay, a few things about the band, especially Brittney:
- Brittney loves combining different layers of her voice into 1. She calls it "the choir of Brittney's".
- 2 of her influences that I know of are Iron Maiden (Bruce Dickinson) and Queensryque (Geoffe Tate).
- Brittney is a classically trained singer, who has not only choir throughout her schooling, but also has a degree in musical theory, I believe.
- Grant does most of the growls, if I'm not mistaken.
- I know people mentioned that Brittney does regular interviews, but Grant has also done at least 1 interview with a reaction channel as well, through Tank the Tech's channel.
Recommendations: "Faster Than Light", "The Wind That Shapes the Land" (personal favourate), "Abyss", "Cleanse the Bloodline", and "Tonight We Ride".
How to pick great UTA songs for reaction: 1) make a round carboard cut-out and draw pizza slice pieces with UTA songs on 2) Place cut-out board on the wall 3) throw a dart with closed eyes at the board from 4 feet away 5) React to the song the dart landed on. P.S. Brittney is the female Bruce Dickinson minus fencing but add rugby.
Northwest Passage (Great display of Brittney's clean vocals) or Tonight We Ride (Brittney's range) would be a great next reaction. Personally hoping for Soulbound (one of their most recent popular tracks) but you honestly can't go wrong with Unleash the Archers!!
I love how you give us little glances everytime you are either amazed and/or know you should be pausing for copyright but just can't bring yourself to do it 🤣
Christi is going to love it. Brittany is brilliant. In my dreams UTA tours as opener for Nightwish ha.; and one of these days she'll get tired of me encouraging her to check out Myles Kennedy/Alter Bridge so she can enjoy that great singer as well .
UTA was touring NA with Dragonforce prior to there tour being postponed due to Covid which I think makes sense since they are both power metal bands. But I know what you mean, I love Nightwish too, did you check out their virtual concert? They played yesterday at 2pm EST for the Euro crowd and are playing again tonight at 8pm EST.
@@UNR3AL96 thanks yes I am online right now and will be listening to the second night soon. A friend who heard it last night said it was great. we have both heard NW live in concert twice. looking forward to this !
Hearing Brittney and then Floor in the same night might be too much for anyone's heart lol
Another great reaction and analysis! Another band that is absolutely fantastic is Seven Spires. Their front woman, Adrienne Cowan, is an absolute beast that carries the vocal styles ranging from soaring Power Metal to the shrieks and growls of Black Metal. "Succumb" is an excellent example of their more melodic sound while "Drowner of Worlds" is a great showcase of the harsher end of their spectrum. Keep up the awesome content!
Yes though I do wonder if it would scare her away. I mean give her the newest song where its almost all death growls and I don't know.
Also Drowner of World may be a little much and to soon for the black metal side. Though I did say she should check out Dimmu.
I really love your videos!!!!
Tonight we ride, Time Stands Still.
First of all I am 66 and a disabled "used to be" drummer. In the early '70's Led Zeppelin was the premiere Heavy rock group for me. At the same time the group "Cactus" was befriending the "Zep crew and the drummer "Carmine Appice" eventually became good friends with Zep's drummer "John Bonham". After I believe their 3rd album the singer "Rusty Day" was murdered along with his daughter and brother over which is believed to be 200 dollars. "Day had a raspy, mid-range voice that was perfect for their style. There are 2 songs that showcase the vocals AND the bands skill. This was WAAAY before "Metal" as it is defined today. Those 2 songs are "Parchman Farm" and "Oleo". You would do me a great kindness if you would react to these. You will NOT get any other requests for them as they are obscure for most today. I am autistic and I love all kinds of music and have always listened to many kinds. If you even see this... yes... we are all tired and thank you for your time Also the studio tracks would be the best to listen to as any Live tracks are. .UGH in quality and the newer ones aren't as good without the original band mates
To hear more of Brittney's voice check out Time Stands Still and Tonight We Ride. For the entire band check out Soulbound, The Wind That Shapes the Land, Cleanse the Bloodlines, Apex.... etc.
this band reminds me of Helloween.
King Diamond ROCKs, so many great tracks with his 2 bands. A Dangerous Meeting. the Old Oak, the Accusation Chair, Twilight Symphony and so many more.
They have so much good music, it doesn't really matter which one to choose next. But there's also a fun/interesting video of Britney singing Queensryche karaoke after a concert.
Also I really think you would also like Vintersea (the "Slay at home" video has a lot of what they do) and Spiritbox (Rule of Nines -> Holy Roller -> Constance, ascending order of heaviness).
UTA- tonight we ride!!!
Unleash the Archers are making, hands down the best power metal in the world right now, it’s not even close. It makes me happy to see your appreciation for it 😁 this song is the opening track of their album Apex, it’s a concept album and it’s perfect, truly perfect, not a single miss on the whole thing. Apex was released in 2017, in 2020 they released the sequel album Abyss, another concept album that continues the story of Apex, and wouldn’t you know it? It’s another perfect album, just no bad songs anywhere to be seen, they haven’t made any subpar songs in about 6 years, they’re just amazing, this is my favorite band, ever. Period.
