Metal Girl Tries Unleash The Archers

Awakening is how I got into the band last summer. It pop up while I had some music on from youtube. I paused everything else that I was doing as the intro caught my attention. Such a killer song.

Crazy thing is, Northwest Passage is actually a cover! Also the entire album "Apex" is a journey EVERYONE should enjoy. I have it on vinyl, and it is just amazing!

They have a video set on their YT channel, (or on Brittney's personal channel) where she goes through each song on the album and gives the basic jist of that part of the story, it's really cool.

[@directedbyxanderjones8329]

Unleash the Archers is my all time favorite band. Also, the song "Tonight We Ride" was not on the Defy The Skies EP. It's on their album Time Stands Still. "Northwest Passage" is actually a cover song. You need to hear their song "General of the Dark Army" from their Demons of the AstroWaste.

Oh! I didn't realize that! On their youtube video, it said listen to Defy the Skies EP so I just assumed lol. I'll be sure to look more carefully next time! But I realized that about Northwest Passage after watching the video. They put a little message about the song in the description. The song and video have a really cool meaning behind it.

My first time here and really enjoyed your perspective. Subbed. I recommend the band Jinjer and the video Pisces Live session. The four band members are all super talented with many hidden gems in their sings, if you know music. Tatiana, the singer, as a singer with unbelievable range and the ability to transition flawlessly. This is the best video as an intro before delving in to their live stuff where you can see how well they perform in front of an audience and how truly versatile they are. From her vocal range, the guitarist’s mastery of the 7 string (not in Pisces) and the bassist’s wizardry on his 5 string, to the magical hidden beats and snares played by the drummer, I think you will like the band. No two songs are alike. As a matter of fact every one of theirs is completely different. I hope you take a chance.

If you dive further into Unleash the Archers, Apex is a concept album. Not sure if anyone else mentioned that but it's best experienced from start to finish as all concept albums are.

And to support my home country (noting your dislike for recent Parkway) try Ne Obliviscaris and Be'Lakor, both (male fronted) Australian progressive metal bands that I think are exceptional.

Love UTA and also loved your authentic reaction. 👍

Thanks for tuning in! I can't believe how good these guys are!

Great video! I'd definitely highly recommend Awakenings and Apex from the Apex Album (The first and last songs respectively, I often say it's the best bookends to an album I've ever heard), and "Abyss" the new single from their upcoming album. I also suggest chatting with them if you can as a fellow performer. I had the luck and pleasure of meeting them on 70,000 Tons and chatting them up a good bit, they are about as genuine and awesome a group of people as you can imagine. Rock on! \m/ >.< \m/

Northwest Passage was originally written by Stan Rogers who was a Canadian Folk singer who died in a plane crash and Northwest Passage became the unofficial Canadian Anthem which UTA covered as a tribute for him
