[@Bobcat665]

Legend has it that, one fateful night, Bruce Dickinson and Ronnie James Dio summoned a daughter of metal. They bestowed upon her the name "Britney Slayes" and that is exactly what she does!

[@devinmorse3607]

I can only hope you saw this comment I make on many other UTA reactions. I put it on every one that I see. Either my comment is becoming common, or great minds think alike.

[@roy19491]

they'd be one set of grandparents....the other 2 being Ian Gillian and Geoff Tate

[@GambitArkana]

Ty. I had the feeling of Iron Maiden with this band.

[@dana7325]

Watch Tonight we Ride, she is stellar

[@jamescurfman3284]

Yes, absolutely! :)

[@TheOhya170]

Definitely tonight we ride

[@Army_Rob]

Yes totally agree. Bigger range for Britany

[@matthewhennessey5967]

I concur

[@camlloyd3321]

Brittney is the undisputed queen of Power Metal!

[@m__zombi]

Absolutely.

[@m__zombi]

I’ve been listening to them since general of the dark army was released and they just keep getting more impressive, as does she. It’s nuts.

[@hedgehog]

That long lusterous hair, the amazing unworldly talent, that incredible mustache... Scott is an amazing drummer.... Who did you think I was talking about?

[@Z_TPI]

They are Canadian from Victoria British Columbia. She records lots of vocal layers in her work at different notes and harmonies. She calls it the Brittney Choir haha. You can really hear her expertise with it in their songs Legacy and Soulbound. She does not growl. But If you want to hear her extreme belted highs, Tonight We Ride, Test Your Metal and Time Stands Still are all awesome. She belts up to an A5 in Tonight We Ride.. 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 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, is a continuation of this story, and the immortal has awoken on a spaceship confused as hell wondering where tf his mountain is lol from the single Abyss. I won't go into the rest of the album.

[@jamescurfman3284]

I was going to mention Tonight We Ride, you beat me to it.

[@jscam4387]

Actually they formed in Victoria BC (Grant still lives there) but the band is now based in Vancouver BC. I liked the A5 reference - pretty extreme for an Alto-Mezzo 🤘🇨🇦

[@danielosheigh4793]

Excellent starting tracks sir, would agree 100%. Just dont forget about her Opera ability too LOL. Her and Lords of the Trident is good as hell.

[@AClark-jx9zp]

This is a BADASS rabbit hole right here.

[@williamparies8382]

There is a video of her singing karaoke, covering take hold of the flame....she's the real deal...

[@jamescurfman3284]

(If I understood everything right) this Karaoke session was AFTER a day of work so her voice was already tired, AND she was half-drunk... :D

[@Kilian600]

@@jamescurfman3284 that's correct !

[@rynnziolkowski4642]

There is also one of her singing queen of the Reich after a concert in Edinburgh at a karaoke place also killer and in that one she wasn't just half drunk she was full on smashed and still killed it like the beast she is, can't wait to see them in september

[@nandonj3662]

Anastasia glad you discovered UTA!!! Yes, it's "old-school" power metal but Brittney Hayes (a.k.a. Brittney Slayes) can also sing opera, check this out : "Brindisi" | Power Metal Opera Battles #4 , just be patient for the first 2 minutes of the video, they'll start singing after that

[@sleeepwalk]

The most impressive and hilarious video ever...

[@roblaw4554]

Absofuckinglutely! Soo much fun. DRINK 🤘👹🤘

[@Thnielsen85]

Many people have called her the daughter of Dio himself, because of her old-school sound. She is one of the best vocalists in modern times, no doubt!

[@obsidianwing]

I allways thought she has this DIO /Iron Maiden rasp

[@1320crusier]

Funnily enough...she's a sound engineer too

[@Fyrecide]

Trust me... she can nail it live. NAIL it.

[@YeahResident]

Looking forward to seeing them live

[@Raggi86]

We need more of Unleash the Archers. Legacy and Northwest passage are wonderful slower but still kickass songs. The most glorious of the slower songs by them is Apex.

[@MrFurnaceface]

My son had a part in Northwest Passage.

[@jonathanc8560]

love me some UTA. great reaction! you rub one out @14:30? lolol something happened!!!

[@Lonewolf-nv7tm]

Tonight We Ride, Apex, Cleanse the Bloodline..and you might want to watch her do Queensryches "Queen of the Reich" in a bar after a show

[@MooreCEJr]

Tonight We Ride... I say no more.

[@jaysmith5035]

If you want to hear more of her high notes, hit up Tonight We Ride (killer high notes full band), her karaoke video of Queen of the Reich (just her singing at a club) or her opera battle Brindisi.

[@lonelywind3511]

The karaoke was especially impressive considering that it was just going out to a bar after a show & there was a bit of alcohol involved.

[@damienmaynard8892]

Yes, Brittney layers her vocals. Those harmonies are all her! UTA are Canadian.

[@Kilian600]

Tonight we ride !!!! You will be blown away by her insane vocals !!!! ...and your blue lips looks soooo rad !!!

[@asenka11]

On it!

[@byrondaniel4410]

Thank you I blew Pepsi from my nose on the wives and girlfriends line

[@asenka11]

Lollllll hahah

[@randalljones4370]

I'm smiling. A GREAT reaction. UTA is a phenomenal group, and they are playing smaller clubs in the US starting around Sept... and they're not charging an arm and a leg for tickets. Check them out. They have a very, simple, in-your-face presentation when live. Keep up the great work.!

[@asenka11]

I will! Thank you!

[@Mountain_Mutt]

Two things. 1. That lipstick is awesome. 2. The more you listen to UtA, the more you will like the music. Extraordinary talent. Apex and Abyss are albums telling two parts of a story that Britney wrote. Try Soulbound, Legacy, Northwest Passage, Faster than Light, and The Wind that Shapes the Land. Then just keep going.

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

I disagree. The lipstick...wrong color girl. Red dress...Blue lipstick? Nope. They clash.

[@drneildurrant]

I’ve never been into power metal … but I am really loving UTA. Great band all around…

[@shizngigz4209]

Ya Tonight We Ride has the most PERFECT classic metal sound. Song and video is amazing

[@leeroygibbs2720]

She did a great interview with The Charismatic Voice. You’re spot on with the inspiration, she states being inspired by Iron Maiden :) I do love how they bring attention to the whole band. Arch Enemy does the same thing live occasionally, the Tempe concert is good example for AE.

[@JD73RD]

Tonight we ride and test your metal will showcase her high end vocals. The entire band are total masters of power metal.

[@svolos1971]

As a Vancouverite I can only say that UTA is one of British Columbia's most beloved treasures. Not only they are freakishly talented but they are all exceptional human beings. The depth of their lyrics, the cohesiveness of their attributes, the passion behind each chord and each verse, the swag, Brittney's stage charisma....I can go on and on...There is literarily not one single bad song in their discography. Welcome to the West Coast music wonderland Anastasia.

[@paisa20]

Great band, thanks for the reaction

[@maximebemer3407]

14:30. Happy Lady. ;-D Great reaction as always, and great voice analysis, Brittney is such an incredible singer!!

[@villainouschrisk2709]

want a video of just her? UTA did a cover of Queensryche "Queen of the Reich". there's a fan shot video of her, Brittany Slayes, singing it karaoke in a bar in Dublin, Ireland.

[@sylbaryn]

Great suggestion but it's in Edinburgh Scotland. 👍

[@roblaw4554]

Yes, in Edinburgh! Just having fun After a full show...this tells me as much about the band as all their videos combined: "Oh wait, we just finished a live set...let's go and, what the hell, maybe I'll do a super-demanding Geoff Tate number at a local karaoke bar. Yep, that'll be loads of fun!!" These Canucks are Very good, and their star is finally rising! Stay tuned and watch the rest of the mundane world learn to appreciate the greatness of this talented group..!

[@sylbaryn]

@@roblaw4554 Well said sir.

[@roblaw4554]

@@sylbaryn thanks, all I do is write what I believe to be reality... But like the bumper sticker says: if it wasn't for flashbacks, I'd have almost no memory at all... 🤘👹🤘 Rob Send Me

[@roy19491]

and Brittany was about half in the bag......

[@phazerboy]

Old school UTA "Test Your Metal" is one of my favorites. Their new stuff like "Abyss" is awesome as well. Much love for this band.

[@w.b.t.127]

Killer band I will see in Sept. In U.S.

[@drneildurrant]

Cleanse the Bloodlines should be your next UTA song IMO…

[@PitVanRooster69]

Not sure of anyone has stated this yet but UTA just recently won a "Juno" award for best Metal/Rock album for their newest album "Abyss". The Juno is Canadian equivalent to the Grammy.

[@ctacoma8334]

Thanks, Anastasia. A great performance by the band and enjoyed your covering all the members, including guitar work.

[@shawnski001]

Thank you! I KNEW you would love this, especially for the guitar work.

[@mikkijohnson1933]

Brittany the lead singer did a cover of "zombie " you might like. She is very down to earth.

[@dbell582]

Oh I heard that the other day. She did that song and Dolores justice with her singing of that song.

[@Rubberbandman0529]

I wish they'd put more attention on her. She's the look & the power and it's why a lot of people gravitate toward the band. But anyway, they're pretty good. I just discovered them about a year ago & I'm impressed so far. Nice detailed review :)

[@satortenet]

Gotta do Tonight we ride! Prepare for epicness!

[@lathspellinfield]

I cried to your reaction on solo :) This is how you appreciate the talent. Guys are monsterous. Love from Turkey!

[@NARVIK2111]

There are some live-rehearsals of the Hand Wintersun,with the focus on all band members doing their work: "Sons of winter and stars", "Time" and "Land of snow and sorrow"

[@richardgivens2422]

Being somewhat familiar with UTA, all I could do is smile at your reaction! Pretty good, eh?

[@copperlobo2536]

I've probably watched 50 reactions to this video and it never gets old... I still get chills on some sections. They are the definition of band synergy and teamwork.

[@timothyfritz5772]

Watch Tonight We Ride - it is insane and Brittany goes absolutely crazy 🤘🤪🤘

[@paulretzbach9583]

That breakdown at the end though!! 🤘🤘🤘 AND that blue lipstick 🔥🔥

[@asenka11]

Awwww thank you❤️

[@horscategorie]

From Canada (as others have said) They are touring this fall - Come down to Baltimore! They are playing in an awesome small venue (Soundstage).

[@paulretzbach9583]

Incredible song with incredibly talented musicians!! 🤘🤘

[@drneildurrant]

There’s a great video on YT of her doing karaoke covering a Queensrych song. Absolutely no production value - but you can tell the real power of her voice for sure…

[@32a34a]

Love your reactions as usual. Someone below mentioned Tina S. They are not kidding. Tina is pretty amazing at the guitar.

[@michaelthies3205]

If you want to hear her at a higher pitch you should check out "Tonight we ride"

[@chrishtobal]

Finally! Been waiting for you to get to UtA. Welcome to the greatest of rabbit holes to fall into😊

[@dbell582]

Absolutely fantastic reaction!! I love UTA and I love how you explained so much. As for the male singer, I just love him. He sings in about all if not all their songs. Your music is terrific too! And I must compliment your lipstick. That would look awful on me but it looks very nice on you. Anyway ty again!

[@asenka11]

Awww thank you:)

[@horscategorie]

Yes - Brittney Slays! \m/ \m/ - She doesn't need dubbing... This rabbit hole is worth jumping in...

[@Wandererdown]

Great Reaction! As a PSA: UTA is on Tour right now!

[@YeahResident]

Looking forward to the Detroit show

[@leliel12th43]

5:51 HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHA

[@JB-tc1xw]

Still LOL'ing long after the review. 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

[@wannabedane4046]

Great reaction Anastasia. UTA (Unleash The Archers) are canadian. Their albums have a common theme about an immortal. There is a lot more to react to from these guys too.

[@bobmiller6870]

Love your new singles, "Romeo & Juliet" and "Moonlight," @Anastasia. Awesome first reaction to Unleash the Archers (UTA). I've been a fan of theirs since Demons of the Astrowaste album... dang that has been 10 years ago now. And you are spot on Brittney Slayes vocals. She talks in interviews about recording her vocals to layer (dub) them in certain parts of the song and how she will sing under them or on top of them just depending on what she feels the track needs. I saw them live at Power Prog USA in Atlanta back in 2015 and the band including Brittney's vocals are just as good in person as they are in the studio. Out of all the bands on the ticket for that event, UTA is the one that blew me away. You are also spot on about UTA having an old-school metal feel to them. If Ronnie James Dio and Maiden's Bruce Dickinson had a daughter, it would have been Brittney Slayes. If you want to go down the UTA rabbit hole, you are probably going to get a lot of suggestions for "Tonight We Ride," or "Test Your Metal" (which probably shows off their "old school metal feel the most out of their discography) which is off the Time Stands Still album, the one before Apex which is what "Awakening" is off of. One of my favorite tracks off Apex is "Cleanse the Bloodlines." The song and the video are both EPIC. I highly recommend it as well. Their latest album, Abyss, is outstanding as well. They took some more risks with their sound on it IMO, but it works. UTA also did a cover of "Northwest Passage" which they released as a single back in 2019 that is another track worth checking out.

[@asenka11]

Thank you!!!!❤️

[@personsmith9849]

I always appreciate it when people admire skills that are unfamiliar to them (or not as familiar)

[@taurusguy9305]

The band is from Canada

[@bigmudder2478]

If she likes guitar solos that much then let's get her to react to Thedooo

[@brenttuttle7268]

There is a video of her covering Zombie by the Cranberries....it really shows off her straight up vocals 👍

[@janihaavisto79]

Hi Anastasia! This band is pretty good, but Brittney Slays has coolest name and very high scream when she does it with full volume. And yes check Brittney's cover of Zombie. It's good. BTW Love your Everdream cover. In storytime cover it's funny to see that you have same kind of facial expressions as Floor. Lol. Stay safe

[@mattkandel2449]

Hell yessss! They're so amazing! There are so many good tracks and a great variety of sound. Try out songs like Soulbound(cool video), Cleanse the Bloodlines(slow heavy epic), Test your metal(80s style throwback). You could go down a serious rabbit hole if you like them. Bless you, love your reactions!

[@asenka11]

Thank you ❤️

[@ronnoe6708]

Next you need to react to their song Tonight We Ride. You won't be disappointed.

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

Brittney: Master of vocals. Buchannan : Master of proprioception... The sucessor to Ronnie James Dio happens to ba a woman. Right here she rides.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Shout out, too, to the digital dexterity of Grant and Andrew.

[@thomazpacifico5850]

You've got to listen to their song "Legacy" for more of this transcendence feeling. It hits differently

[@paulmdevenney]

The heir to the Dickinson throne. If you look up "High Octane" in the dictionary, you get this song.

[@Socrates_1775]

There I also a video where she sings Opera and it ROCKS!🤘😊🤘

[@juyifan7933]

There is a video of Brittney Slays singing Queen of the Reich in a Karaoke bar if you want to hear her without any effects.

[@chrisdavis408]

I love your reactions, and your English is very fine by the way . Love it. I had a chance to have an online interaction with Brittany. She is very humble and down to earth. Treated me like a friend from down the street. I'll never forget that . I have mad respect for an artist that actually takes time to interact with the fans. I see good things coming ur way. Great vocals. You now think , what might Floor do now ... or maybe Brittany after this. Either way. Would love one day to have a brief conversation with you. You will go far. I have no doubt. Never give up ...

[@asenka11]

Awww that made my day:) thank you so much!

[@hibiki54]

You mentioned that throughout the song Brittney is dubbing/layering her vocal track. This is true for maybe 10% of the song. I seen them live a few times and her voice live is just as good if not better than the album mix.

[@normantompkins1252]

Tonight we ride Or no more heroes by unleash the archers

[@marcosnorio4241]

There is a video that shows Bitney singing in the karaoke, you should check it! She is powerfull!

The Band di you listen came from Canada the Name of the Singer is Britney Slayers

[@DEFKNIGHT]

I finally remembered. The Solo section second interlude. That has Jake E Lee era Ozzy Osbourne written all over it. That whole passage is right out of Ozzy. I just can't remember the song....

[@richardgoddard37]

Unleash The Archers is only the 2nd best band name. There's an American rock band called "And You Will Know Us by The Trail Of Dead". Great name & great band.

[@redfielduniverse]

I don't, Unleash the Archers is short and to the point, the other band is whole mouth full.

[@satoricrush]

Also check their songs, "Northwest Passage" and "Heartless World". Both cover songs but which I fell showcases her voice.

[@scottwhitney6055]

If you are into guitar, you should listen to Unleash The Archer's song Faster Than Light. Fast awesome guitar. Killer vocals, and an amusing music video.

I agree with a few of the other commenters, if you want a wider range in Britneys voice listen to Tonight We Ride

[@isaiahwelch8066]

@Anastasia Luna: Here is the lyrics for Awakening: 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 Make my way in the night To roam; to never die
