Brit calls it the "Brittney Choir" where she layers it so she can harmonize with herself. She can do some opera too! She has a video out there doing Brindisi with Lords of the Trident. It's pretty awesome. And for a better idea of her range, check out Tonight We Ride. The guy doing the growls is Grant Truesdell...one of the guitarists.
Yes! Metal Opera on Skype! The one with Brittany is what led me to Lords of the Trident, who are also a super talented, if less well-known, band. Fang has a fabulous voice in his own right and did a whole series of metal opera duets that are well worth the watch. I would love to see Maggie's reaction to that whole series, especially since opera is something she is very familiar with, so she can focus on the technique and talent. Also metal opera is amazing.
Legend has it that Bruce Dickinson and Ronnie James Dio conjured a daughter of Metal. They bestowed upon her the name of Brittney Slayes, and that is what she does.
She has a video out there where she does a classical duet (BRITTNEY SLAYES sings OPERA!? "Brindisi" | Power Metal Opera Battles #4 )You should check it out.
@@maggiereneemusic I loved it. Layne is sorely missed by all who grew up on his and Alice and Chains music during the Grunge era. The cool kids would listen to Pearl Jam and Nirvana, while the musically talented kids would listen to Alice and Chains and Soundgarden.
No auto tune, yes layering, but I CHALLENGE YOU to react to Tonight we ride from this band and then watch the live version. She can absolutely hit any note she wishes at will. She has the most dynamic range ever! Live they are as good as on the album!
And to iterate, you would actually be surprised to hear Brit live. She can hold her range both in the upper and lower registers with proper projection, and her vocal stamina is literally unmatched to every opera singer I've hard over the last two decades.
Brittney can do it live... She is... truly ... among the few ... who really can produce what you hear. She does layer herself in recordings... and I love it. She calls it her Choir - I am sure others will point this out. Live she produces the real deal. I have a few others I recognize that are able to do the same - Tatiana from Jinjer, Fabienne from Eluveitie, Floor - well everyone today knows Floor... If they don't, don't let the Floor hit them on the way out...(Floor is MY favorite). There are others who sing and I love them, but this is my short list. Simone should be on the list too...
Grace Slick, pioneer of extreme rock vocals, said she tried to sound like an electric guitar. The dude looked like he was going something similar to a fast banjo picking technique on an electric bass. COOL!
Bonjour Maggie ! It's now your duty to react to the video made at a karaoke bar, where Brittney Slayes sang AFTER a concert the song "Queen of the Reich" and apologize for your words about Brittney using autotune.
Brittey did a fun one in an interviw. with guy called Fang.. it was based off opera metal battles. Fang is learning opera, Brittney been doing stuff around europe for ages.. Choral I think from La Traviata, Brindisi. they both having a drink, fitting for this one. good for fun and relax. obvious Brittne done more. all the better because they doing it for fun. you will smile even if its only for your self
If you want to hear her with less production, Brittney is doing Tuesday night Twitch singing streams to get ready for touring. She does warmups, UTA songs, and cover requests.
Thank you for your comment. Did you enjoy my new reaction to Floor Jansen I just posted? And hope to see you later today on Twitch for more FUN LIVE REACTIONS where you get to react with me LIVE? www.twitch.tv/MaggieReneeMusic
Jump scare in a music video!🤣😂 Thought you was ready second time around, nope got ya again. Lol Loved the reaction had alot of fun watching it! Can't wait for Sunday! Reactions are back in action!
I cannot figure out why everyone starts with “Awakening”. Especially vocal coaches. Can you please react to any or all of these UTA songs: Time Stands Still Test Your Metal Tonight We Ride
It's the same as Devin Townsend - Kingdom. People seem to love asking for it first, but I always think their are better songs that work much better for vocal coaches. A lot of people don't think of that when requesting music.
i'll never get why almost NONE of them does Test your metal as it's such a great song to react to, way much "noob friendly" than almost any other UTA songs, while still showcasing the amazing performance of the whole band, and Britney's voice.
“Cleanse the Bloodlines” is as impressive as “Tonight We Ride”. “Tonight..” has a lot of high notes, but “Cleanse..” has epic long notes and her absolute masterclass ability and endurance is on full display there.
This was my first introduction to the band too - I get it. It's a great track and album. Love the other songs you list, but starting here feels natural to me.
You have to check out her doing Brindisi on Epic Power Metal Battles! So fun and so great. To the person who wouldn’t shut up about Dragonforce, stop. 🤦♀️
They don't autotune, they only layer. Brittney is a university trained vocal performer herself (also opera I believe) with an incredible range. This song doesn't even show it all, as others have pointed out. Many rockers/metal singers with powerful voices were trained in other musical styles first, and it shows.
Northwest Passage by Unleash The Archers is definitely worth checking out. Also great live performance and pretty close to studio version (to hear it without the layering vocals). Brittney is the kind of singer that does equally well live! And Brittney is one of THE most accessible person of any band (and a big geek), because she has joined dozens of reaction channels.
Re: The bassist. Brittney has said they do not want a permanent bassist because the four of them get along so well and they do not want to risk bringing another element in that could bring in negativity. They will always have a studio bassist moving forward.
"Are these musicians real?" Maggie, that's how power metal bands roll! Guys and galls, Helloween or Blind Guardian next? Angra or Rhapsody of Fire? Manowar or Iced Earth?
@@TheWiseGrif Never heard specific complaints about Angra, but I never had heard about Shaman either, and then TheCharismaticVoice did Fairy Tale and had to take it down. Haven't checked, but could have sworn both bands are represented by the same agency...
My recent hobby has been looking for Nightwish and Unleash The Archers reactions. @Maggie Renee, I found you to be honest, learned, accurate and hilariously amusing. Thank you!
IMMORTAL IS MORE THAN A NAME! AWAKENING To look up into the night's sky, to see the stars they are changed To know a thousand years or more have passed, and I am the same This mountain hollow that keeps me in a suffocating embrace A prison and a safe haven, it's always been this way Lo, a new master calls me to awakening, I know this one brings the end Far out beyond the darkness I've been living in it's true, a whole new world awaits Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night Once again revitalized, to roam; to never die My path begins with the new dawn; a voice is calling my name It always starts as whispering then manifests to a scream I'm drawn to the creature that wakes me, bound to them by the curse My soul exists only to serve, a covenant of birth Fear not the task ahead there's no escaping it, there's no good nor evil here Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night Once again revitalized, to roam; to never die Come to me, awakening Follow my voice, come to me Fear not the task ahead there's no escaping it, there's no good nor evil here Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night Once again revitalized, to roam; to never Lighting my way in the night To roam; to never die
Her name is Brittney Hayes. But they call her...Brittney Slayes. Because she does. Seriously _everyone_ in the band is an absolute legend. Now you need to do Tonight We Ride! Or Test Your Metal.
Britney Slays is an amazing human who looooves sour patch kids on tour and always. You should do an interview with her. She has in the past with reactors
There's a video of her singing some opera out there you might be interested to check out. Also in a very recent stream of her and the band doing a hot ones style Q and A she was asked what would be her dream venue to perform at and she mentioned the metropolitan in New York before later noting it's an opera venue and saying for the band saying probably Madison square garden. My point being idk her history of formal music training but she very much holds a place in her heart for operatic singing and performing despite being a badass metal vocalist which I thought you might find it interesting to know.
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score ( Vocal Cover - Yannis Papadopoulos ) I will continue to request this from here on out! This cover is immaculate and needs to be heard by more. If you love Nightwish this cover will make you get goosebumps.
My favorite songs are where Andrew and Grant trade off solos in the same passage and you can't tell the difference! Check out Faster Than Light, Abyss, and Northwest Passage. Great reaction!
Please check out Brittany doing Brindisi with Fang, the singer from Lords of the Trident. Both of them are super talented, and the video is just a lot of fun. Brittany has been quoted as saying if she hadn't become a metal singer, she would have pursued opera instead.
I like your reactions. The guy growling is one of the guitarists. The last part of the solo is both guitarists playing in harmorni before the bassist comes in. Guess someone already informed you of this. But you should check Brittany when she sings opera if you haven't yet ( Brindisi )
This is a great song definitely hear the power behind it I would love to hear more from them. I love those double bass kicks and the bassist for that matter. The bow and arrow what a combination.
If you want to know what Melodic Death Metal sounds like, I highly suggest you to react to Insomnium, one of my favorite bands. Songs like Pale Morning Star, Heart Like a Grave or The Primeval Dark are great examples of their sound, but they don't have a single bad song.
Have you checked out Lovebites yet? They're a Japanese, all-female metal band. Absolutely phenomenal musicians, and the singer actually comes from an R&B background.
Great react... May I suggest "Tonight we Ride" (some incredible belted A5's) "Abyss" "Soulbound".... the list goes on and on from this amazing band... Hopefully you will have time to dive into them some more. If you want to hear some incredible layering and harmonies... "Legacy"... It's the "Brittney Choir" at its Best!!! Cheers !!
Layered with her own voice ( welcome to the UTA Choir... we repeat each other, over and over, again and again, even if you catch and correct yourself... it's a thing, lol.) But it really is all Brittney. They are not using a pitch-shifter to create her harmonies. There are little videos of her doing it in the studio. Her pitch control is great. OH NO !!!! Maggies jaw shook on the wide vibrato !!! (just teasing) Maggie, if you can Happy Feet in time with the bass drums, you should get a kit and practice up. You could do vocals AND power-drums... it's time to start your Metal band, Maggie. Hey, Simone Simons 'gets by' with straight classical in Metal.... Maggie : "Whoa, that guitar is insane..." .... oh Maggie, just wait. (90 second solo takes 3 1/2 minutes to get thru the reaction) On Andrew's guitar solo : Tapping is a full depression of the string to the fingerboard, as opposed to picking off harmonics. Andrew is definitely doing full depression of the strings. RE the bass 'solo notes' In my experience playing a little bass, I think he's actually playing the notes withOUT the 'harmonic technique' , but no palm muting, as you can see his entire hand moving ABOVE the strings and not making contact (you even get LIGHT in there on the strings). The majority of the softened sound comes from backing off the Tone knob a touch, (probably) choosing the NECK pickup, rather than the bridge) AND soften the attack with his right hand finger/thumb-style ( his fingertips slide over the string a bit more. Layered growls at the beginning of the solo : a previous bass player would do low growls, and Grant (in this video) does an upper-register growl (correct me if I'm using a wrong term there.. Grant's is more vocal) I can't wait to see them this fall in Portland. Great reaction Maggie, as always, watching you is a joy, and I learn something every time.
@@maggiereneemusic Not yet... give me a moment... I am watching the volcano on La Palma ... it is doing sub-harmonic growls and unleashing an arcing stream of red hot arrows. I'll go watch and be back in a minute. Thank you most kindly for the invitation to some AIC.... Layne's placement is amazing and unique, and Jerry's ability to weave a harmony with Layne is a favorite, for me.
I love this band. I met them in Austin Tx a few years ago, and they are all so nice. She sounds amazing live. Favorite aspect of this song is the bass. Sadly the bassist isn't apart of the band anymore I don't think
You mention the layering on the initial belt. I'd like to see what you think of Anna-Maria Hefele's overtone video here on TH-cam. Overtone and polyphonics don't get enough love.
The bassist wasn't playing harmonics at the end of the solo. It's just what basses sound like with no distortion up at the high end of the neck. Staccato bass notes on the high end of the neck lose a lot of their resonance so they sound a bit plinky. He's also playing with a really clean tone, very little distortion. Almost jazzy.
*It is possible but takes years of training:* There is a vocal technique used by Tibetan monks which allows them to literally sing a chord, or three notes simultaneously.
An interesting video ti watch is the cover of queen of the reich who brittney singed in a karaoke bar the night after a concert and filmed with a smartphone.
You def need to check out tonight we ride now. This song is now of a band showcase. Tonight we ride is 10000% all Britney. Pretty sure she belts an A5 a few times
Maggie: This is an epic opening.
UA Fans: Just wait until you hear "Tonight We Ride."
And Test Your Metal
I second that
Tonight we ride ....it's a must
Great song to see how bad ass her singing is
she layers all her own vocals and doesnt use autotune. you should check out Tonight we Ride.
Brit calls it the "Brittney Choir" where she layers it so she can harmonize with herself. She can do some opera too! She has a video out there doing Brindisi with Lords of the Trident. It's pretty awesome. And for a better idea of her range, check out Tonight We Ride. The guy doing the growls is Grant Truesdell...one of the guitarists.
Her voice is ah-mazing!!!
Yeah agree. Like this one very much.
Most Power Metal bands do that.
Yes! Metal Opera on Skype! The one with Brittany is what led me to Lords of the Trident, who are also a super talented, if less well-known, band.
Fang has a fabulous voice in his own right and did a whole series of metal opera duets that are well worth the watch.
I would love to see Maggie's reaction to that whole series, especially since opera is something she is very familiar with, so she can focus on the technique and talent.
Also metal opera is amazing.
Fully agree on all fronts. Maggie should check out the Brindisi for sure! And Tonight We Ride is amazing. Brittney is stupid talented
watch the video on youtube of Brittney singing karaoke after a show, doing "Queen of the Reich"
I second this reccomendation, this was in a karaoke bar, several beers deep and after a show, Love it.
She is amazing
@@michaelbarnard3732 she was still wearing her performer's id and lanyard.....
Legend has it that Bruce Dickinson and Ronnie James Dio conjured a daughter of Metal. They bestowed upon her the name of Brittney Slayes, and that is what she does.

That is Grant Truesdell singing with Britt (Rhythm Guitar), love him
Saw them live and she sounds just like she would in the studio. One of the best shows I've ever seen
Their latest album Abyss is breathtaking. It was just awarded metal album of the year at our national Canadian Juno awards. Oh, Canada! 🇨🇦
Canada have better treatment with bands than their southern neighbor. At least they don't award Body Count or similar rap shit as metal act.

Thank you for your comment. Did you like the Alice in Chains reaction I just posted?
It's generally considered more difficult to mute the bass, because the strings are thicker and heavier, so they build up a lot more inertia...

IMMORTAL IS MORE THAN A NAME!
AWAKENING
To look up into the night's sky, to see the stars they are changed
To know a thousand years or more have passed, and I am the same
This mountain hollow that keeps me in a suffocating embrace
A prison and a safe haven, it's always been this way
Lo, a new master calls me to awakening, I know this one brings the end
Far out beyond the darkness I've been living in it's true, a whole new world awaits
Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night
Once again revitalized, to roam; to never die
My path begins with the new dawn; a voice is calling my name
It always starts as whispering then manifests to a scream
I'm drawn to the creature that wakes me, bound to them by the curse
My soul exists only to serve, a covenant of birth
Fear not the task ahead there's no escaping it, there's no good nor evil here
Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night
Once again revitalized, to roam; to never die
Come to me, awakening
Follow my voice, come to me
Fear not the task ahead there's no escaping it, there's no good nor evil here
Stellar constellations rise, lighting my way in the night
Once again revitalized, to roam; to never
Lighting my way in the night
To roam; to never die
Brittnay studied at the university of victoria school of music where she sang soprano in their choir

I like your reactions. The guy growling is one of the guitarists. The last part of the solo is both guitarists playing in harmorni before the bassist comes in. Guess someone already informed you of this. But you should check Brittany when she sings opera if you haven't yet ( Brindisi )
This is a great song definitely hear the power behind it I would love to hear more from them. I love those double bass kicks and the bassist for that matter. The bow and arrow what a combination.
So glad you enjoyed! 🥰
If you want to know what Melodic Death Metal sounds like, I highly suggest you to react to Insomnium, one of my favorite bands. Songs like Pale Morning Star, Heart Like a Grave or The Primeval Dark are great examples of their sound, but they don't have a single bad song.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like the Alice in Chains reaction I just posted?
@@maggiereneemusic That's... too mild for me. Like... I like rainbows and you're asking me just about green.
🤘😁
Have you checked out Lovebites yet? They're a Japanese, all-female metal band. Absolutely phenomenal musicians, and the singer actually comes from an R&B background.

Trivia bit. The actual beginning of juliard is because his daughter could not learn unless she was moving later transfered to dance
His daughter s name was julia
Great react... May I suggest "Tonight we Ride" (some incredible belted A5's) "Abyss" "Soulbound".... the list goes on and on from this amazing band... Hopefully you will have time to dive into them some more. If you want to hear some incredible layering and harmonies... "Legacy"... It's the "Brittney Choir" at its Best!!! Cheers !!
In the end... "pld pldpldpld diu diu pld pld di di di di di piu." what a nice break down.
Layered with her own voice ( welcome to the UTA Choir... we repeat each other, over and over, again and again, even if you catch and correct yourself... it's a thing, lol.)
But it really is all Brittney. They are not using a pitch-shifter to create her harmonies. There are little videos of her doing it in the studio. Her pitch control is great.
OH NO !!!! Maggies jaw shook on the wide vibrato !!! (just teasing)
Maggie, if you can Happy Feet in time with the bass drums, you should get a kit and practice up.
You could do vocals AND power-drums... it's time to start your Metal band, Maggie.
Hey, Simone Simons 'gets by' with straight classical in Metal....
Maggie : "Whoa, that guitar is insane..." .... oh Maggie, just wait.
(90 second solo takes 3 1/2 minutes to get thru the reaction)
On Andrew's guitar solo : Tapping is a full depression of the string to the fingerboard, as opposed to picking off harmonics.
Andrew is definitely doing full depression of the strings.
RE the bass 'solo notes' In my experience playing a little bass, I think he's actually playing the notes withOUT the 'harmonic technique' , but no palm muting, as you can see his entire hand moving ABOVE the strings and not making contact (you even get LIGHT in there on the strings). The majority of the softened sound comes from backing off the Tone knob a touch, (probably) choosing the NECK pickup, rather than the bridge) AND soften the attack with his right hand finger/thumb-style ( his fingertips slide over the string a bit more.
Layered growls at the beginning of the solo : a previous bass player would do low growls, and Grant (in this video) does an upper-register growl (correct me if I'm using a wrong term there.. Grant's is more vocal)
I can't wait to see them this fall in Portland.
Great reaction Maggie, as always, watching you is a joy, and I learn something every time.

@@maggiereneemusic Not yet... give me a moment... I am watching the volcano on La Palma ... it is doing sub-harmonic growls and unleashing an arcing stream of red hot arrows. I'll go watch and be back in a minute. Thank you most kindly for the invitation to some AIC.... Layne's placement is amazing and unique, and Jerry's ability to weave a harmony with Layne is a favorite, for me.
🤘😁
I love this band. I met them in Austin Tx a few years ago, and they are all so nice. She sounds amazing live. Favorite aspect of this song is the bass. Sadly the bassist isn't apart of the band anymore I don't think
You mention the layering on the initial belt. I'd like to see what you think of Anna-Maria Hefele's overtone video here on TH-cam. Overtone and polyphonics don't get enough love.
The bassist wasn't playing harmonics at the end of the solo. It's just what basses sound like with no distortion up at the high end of the neck.
Staccato bass notes on the high end of the neck lose a lot of their resonance so they sound a bit plinky. He's also playing with a really clean tone, very little distortion. Almost jazzy.
Thanks! Hope to see you in 1 hour on my LIVE stream?
*It is possible but takes years of training:* There is a vocal technique used by Tibetan monks which allows them to literally sing a chord, or three notes simultaneously.
If you really want to hear brits voice. Gotta listen to northwest passage
An interesting video ti watch is the cover of queen of the reich who brittney singed in a karaoke bar the night after a concert and filmed with a smartphone.
Thank you for your comment. I posted my reaction to Diana Damrau today. Did you like it?
🔥🤘😈🤘🔥
As an opera singer Can you plz plz plz🙏 do all female metal band lovebites reaction. Holy war live is a great one to start with. Great reaction ❤
Thank you for your suggestion.
@@maggiereneemusic thank you so much for the reply❤ are you on twitch? I will look for you.
I've seen them live (right before the VID hit the US) and it was insane to see live especially with Dragonforce going on afterwards
Rage of Light is a group where the lead singer's change from gorgeous singing to growl/scream is amazing
Thank you for your comment. Will you be there for my 195K Subscriber Celebration Live Stream tomorrow?
You def need to check out tonight we ride now. This song is now of a band showcase. Tonight we ride is 10000% all Britney. Pretty sure she belts an A5 a few times
