SOUL SINGER discovers UNLEASH THE ARCHERS! Then tempts FREDDIE KRUEGER!

[@craigmccuistian]

Oh YES!!! I’ve been hoping for this one. And I really hope you dig in a little further with these guys. Tonight we Ride, Abyss, Legacy (PLEASE do Legacy), Cleanse the Bloodlines, Northwest passage ( cover of a Canadian classic ), ….

[@brewswillis9783]

I concur!

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I will 100% be returning to UTA! For Brittany if nothing else 😂

[@Does_not_djent]

Time stands still and Soulbound are also good choices.

[@whirledpeaz5758]

I concur

[@ndazza]

I don't know why Time Stands Still doesn't get more attention, it's fantastic!

[@magusmelanie828]

I'm so here for this!! Let's go UTA!!! This really isn't a tour de force for her vocal range, but it's a great example of the virtuosity of the band and well they lock in together - I promise, if you keep going, you'll be even more stunned with what we she can do with her voice

[@Bragituba]

Northwest Passage is an incredible next step here. It’s their version of a Canadian folk song that is basically considered to be Canada’s unofficial national anthem. That, and their video was heavily influenced by Rick and Morty, by their own admission.

[@whirledpeaz5758]

I concur

[@steevelapointe7441]

Don’t agree at all. Everything before Apex is way to cheesy. With Apex and Abyss, they have finally found their sound and get away from the Leprechaun Metal genre.

[@ThatLovelyRose]

T H I S. Northwest Passage is a great example of her low-range, especially with the first two verses being vocals only.

[@Aughtel]

True North!

[@Bragituba]

@@steevelapointe7441 Northwest Passage came out way after Apex…like, a year after if memory serves. Edit: two years after, in fact.

I’ve always associated UTA with power metal but some of their songs are more melodic. ‘Tonight we ride’ is the song that really shows Brittney’s range

[@whirledpeaz5758]

A lot of people saying Tonight We Ride, and that’s definitely great. One of my favorites that’s a bit longer is The Wind That Shapes the Land. Great development as the song progresses and lyrically is amazing as well.

[@mattgraham2835]

the absolutely beautiful range that brittany has in her voice and the sound of galloping horses is pretty exquisite and the very fantastic rhythms that the guitars and drums do is pretty damn cool this music called power metal and melodic death metal is gonna help folks feel super let me tell ya what everyone here are bright shining stars

[@petermartin6049]

I always love it when I see someone react to this song; UTA is so good, it's always fun to watch the journey people go on with it. You mentioned the songwriting - it's extremely good, yes, and gets even better when you consider that this album and the next one, Abyss are a pair and tell a really solid story across them. In addition to the jaw-dropping musical performance, listening to those albums back to back tells you an incredible sci-fi/fantasy (it has elements of both in the setting) tale with actual character progression, a redemption arc, and the struggle against an incredibly nasty villain. Oh, also: Andrew (the red-haired guitarist) can also sing, and you hear some of that from him at various points. Really nice clean male vocals. It's just stacked layers of awesome. And ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT (and unsurprising, given they're Canadian) they're known, as a band, for being really nice people.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Yeah it’s a really rich mix of elements and tbh I don’t need bands to be lovely people but it is a nice extra when they are 😊

[@robinclaidlaw]

I’m glad you mentioned the low end of her voice. To me it’s more impressive than the fact that she can go really high, which isn’t really shown off in this song so much.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

My next picks are 3 songs: 1) Karaoke cover of Queen of the Reich by Queensryche. Yes, you read that right: After their European tour, in 2017, Brittney and the band went to a karaoke bar in Edinburgh, Scotland -- where, despite a crappy phone recording, Brittney "slayed" an '80s song that is difficult for a guy to sing. That first note _still_ gives me chills! And, because of that video, Brittney got to work with Arjen Lucassen, a prog songwriter, on his Star-One album, in the song Fate of Man, that is a song about the Terminator sci-fi universe. 2) Tonight We Ride. This is the song you should react to, if you want to hear Brittney hit an A5 like she's ordering coffee. 3) Finally, Abyss. This song, while shorter, showcases Brittney in her vocality so well! And in this one, she grabs you sonically, and doesn't let up, as her and the band get pulled through a black hole in space. 4) Honorable mention: UtA's current magnum opus, The Wind That Shapes The Land. While no music video exists for this one, it is well worth the listen. Basically, imagine a power metal song colliding with the Matrix movies, in the final battle between Neo and Smith. That is how epic The Wind That Shapes The Land is!

[@antivanti]

The Wind That Shapes The Land is SO GOOD. And yeah that karaoke video is wild!

[@drummerwolf8000]

Every member of this band is crazy talented. Their musical theory is perfect. The guitars and bass are top notch. The drummer is a machine, and Britney... well.... slays. Beast of a vocalist.

[@notdynomonkey]

[@Whiskers74]

Love the reaction. I've been a fan of UTA for a few years now, and this song was my introduction to them. Not only is Britney an amazing vocalist, but the whole band are amazing musicians. I can already tell that all the usual requests will be below, including Tonight We Ride, North West Passage, Abyss, and a few others, but if you really want to see how good Britney really is, check her out singing La Traviata-Brindisi (The Drinking Song) with Fang VonWrathenstien (Ty Christian) from Lords of the Trident. She seems to do even this song without too much stress, and I doubt you'll be disappointed.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

Ill check these out! I am definitely returning to UTA, because why not! Thank you for this my dude! 😊

[@gillanarcoleo3192]

A great song of there’s is Tonight we ride it has a road warrior style music video and shows off her full range she goes up another octave or two. Plus she has a few opera videos showing off more talent. I have toured with them a few times always strong performances and are amazing live.

[@PaulMurrayCanberra]

She also does a very nice rendition of The Drinking Song form La Traviata.

They are similar to traditional metal but their genre is power metal which is kinda like iron maiden on crack basically haha 😊

Brittany is incredible, I'll bet you'd get a kick out of their cover of Northwest Passage, that's a beautiful track. Yeah Melodic metyal is an amazing place to live, even the more extreme stuff like Melodic Death Metal has a lot to offer. Power Metal is all high notes fast guitars and fantasy concepts, Unleash The Archers are masters at it, and as you get to know more and more of their stuff you realise they're just great folks too, which is always lovely.

[@tonythomas2391]

Other UTA songs that show how amazing Brittney's voice is (realistically any of their songs qualify, but these are my favorites): Apex, Northwest Passage, Abyss, Tonight We Ride, General Of The Dark Army.

[@antivanti]

I saw another reaction video for this a couple of years ago and was instantly sold. Then I found out that this is the opening track of a concept album called Abyss telling a story of The Immortal and that the follow up album Abyss had just been released. So I avoided listening to any more songs from those albums until I had them both on vinyl and could sit down and listen to them back to back with a glass of nice rum in one hand and the lyrics sheet in the other... Best decision ever 😁

That sounds like a glorious night! I think I might have to copy you! 😂

[@jonnyberggren4598]

Finally how I longed for this... Brittney Slayes sung Alto for many years in a choir. So she has the bottom end. But then she has incredible highs also. This is not showing so much in this song tho. But I would suggest you listen to Tonight we ride... That is just insane.. But they have many awsome songs. I belive if I am not mistaken that she and the drummer newly had a baby. And that a new record is comming so. (If anyone know better please correct me..) Everyone of their album has a theme and a story. She is also a big fantasy fan. The whole band role plays Dungeons and Dragons. And she is writing on a fantasy book. Just as Floor from Nighwish the most impressive thing is that she does this thru long concerts with every song is very tough. So stammina is incredible too. For me I would classify this music as power metal. In the same category as BattleBeast, Love Bites for an example...Both of them with female front singers too. Love bites whole group female... You have many "Rabbitholes" to walk down. With wonderful female led metal... Love from Stockholm Sweden/ J

The front singer is from the beginning a ballerina. One of the guitarist are a classical piano virtuoso. She started play guitar at 18 and now also a phenomenon an it too. They have a extraordinary drummer. That little little hobit Haruna (only 4'9) is called among other nicknames "The big little Big Engine, pocket nuclear reactor..." And other names (with love so to say)... Midori (the other lead guitarist, both are lead in this band) Is also competing in "Fitness" But is also she absolutely jaw dropping guitarist...

They have produced 3 Albums,4 EP's, and 4 Live albums and a compilation album with original lineup.The new line up due to founder Miho departing in August 2021 The band went on a short hiatus before holding auditions for a new bassist. They chose a very well known online star that has performed live and done her own music since high school Fami. She has an amazing song on her channel you should check out to hear what Lovebites potential will be with her here's a song by her. Fami Alien Alien kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5C4oq2qrL50hbc Lovebites 4rth Album with Fami was released February 22nd 2023 with an online Autograph session. If they ever tour the USA I believe they will be successful they are the best new power metal band out in 30 years. They have toured with Dragonforce and also Lzzy Hale's Halestorm they were inspired to name their band Lovebites after Halestorm song Love Bites and so do I and also while they toured together Halestorm warm up songs inspire the Lovebites hit song Raise Some Hell kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJLQhIR6Za-IfM0. Enjoy discovering them they will blow your mind and melt your face off with blistering guitar riffs.They also sing all but 1 song in English many of their songs allow you to use the CC to see the lyrics I know Edge of the World does.Beware though when you react you will not only be Lovebitten the Fanbase The Wolfpack will descend on your channel ]:P Asami was singing R&B stuff like Alicia Keyes when They recruited her to sing metal.

Being classically trained, Britany has a great voice (and, yes, she most definitely has a yummy 'bottom end!'). If you, really, want to hear her vulva-breaking high notes, listen to Tonight We Ride. (Plus, the video is done Mad Max style.) For me, I much more prefer Huntress. Their founder/singer, Jill Janus, is a classically trained, Soprano Coloratura who can death-growl most men into the ground, and they have a more classic, 80s Thrash Metal sound, but with more modern techniques. Their song 8 of Swords, really, shows-off her vocal range. Finally, have you - ever - considered comedy? Seriously, some of your stuff is great. You're one of the few reaction artists who do this, and who does it well. Another great reaction, Ms. Melisa! Best! J

UTA is power metal, which can be considered a "super charged" version of classic metal inspired by Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Dio. Essentially, power metal combined the melody of classic metal with the faster and more aggressive rhythmic attack of thrash (Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer). Though it's not a must, most power metal also deals with fantasy themes. Power metal itself goes back to the late 80s with the German band Helloween and their Keeper of the Seven Keys albums, and it's a genre that's still going strong today. If you want to try more power metal with great vocals, Blind Guardian is a must, and their Mirror Mirror is a great intro song.

They're not really symphonic metal though - no keyboards or symphonic arrangements. More straight-ahead trad or power metal, with hints of melodic death metal in there.

[@jindas4217]

To me, this seriously gives me Iron Maiden-ish vibes if they were formed in the 2000's+, and of course instead of a male frontman, they had a female singer.

The funny thing for me is still when i saw the first time Brittney in a reaction video, and how there in private she just looks like a totally nerdy girl and nothing at all like the powerful amazon she mostly play in the music videos.

This is awesome, thank you so much. She looks so sweet just in her own environment. I love her 😊

[@ugg10video76]

If Ronnie James Dio and Bruce Dickinson were able to have offspring together = Britney Slays!

[@vierdo]

This is so classical heavy/power metal in so many ways. Back in my days this was called Speed metal, as i think its gone to be power metal today. But never the less this is really good. And her voice is amazing. If you like high pitch singers. Then i can recomend: LOST HORIZON - Highlander (the one). Unfortunetly there is no quality live recorings of that song, Only the album version.

Have you heard of Lovebites yet? They also play the 80s style of NWOBHM metal with a modern sound and speed. They are an all female Japanese heavy metal band. They sing in English and have one of the greatest metal guitar duos of all time. Take a look at their music video Judgement Day. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TYeJ2mYrVqeqs

And not just can Britney Slay the vocals, she's a great lass, who can do a karaoke with the best of em (check YT for the vid of her singing after a gig in Edinburgh), she's tough as nails, played rugby at school

[@Gnarfmannen]

Make sure you got the seatbelt on 🤘🤘🤘

[@chetwagers4964]

Know suggestions can be tough to track and do, but if you want a female metal vocalist that does NOT follow the path of Nightwish, then I suggest Jinjer Perennial live at Wacken

[@belakiss8861]

you have to see Britney singing in a club singing Queen of the Reich by Queensreich

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I have it was amazing! She’s so chill throughout the whole thing 😊😂🥰

[@malhavac]

also to add i love the drummers im a bundy fam shirt

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I know!! 😂

[@choppingpenguin]

Britney Slays almost single handedly brought me back to metal. I am soooooo fucking over all the cookie monster vocals that have PLAGUED metal for almost 3 decades now, although Tatiana w Jinjer has joyfully melted my face more times than I can count now. I NEED melody and power as well as a damn good song! Tonight We Ride will make your jaw drop when you experience the full throated onslaught of Britney fully unleashing her staggering power!

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

I’m totally with you whilst I appreciate and understand the more aggressive style of metal vocals. I am a sucker for more melodic voices. Brittany is absolutely fantastic. I’m looking forward to going back to this band many times. Thank you so much for watching my dude 😊

[@henrikharbin5521]

Hi Melissa :) The song definitely has some Iron Maiden vibes in the way it's structured. She sounds slightly like Kobra Paige from the other Canadian metal band Kobra and the Lotus.

[@SoulSingerDiscovers]

What a fantastic band name! I don’t think I have heard of them. Adding to the list right now! Thank you Henrik 😊

[@henrikharbin5521]

When it's Kobra's turn, this is a good place to start... She is really flexible but this is one of her stronger vocsls. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWm6gKOha8aegrM

[@vogel2280]

Who doesn't love a bit of Unleash the Archers? Her real name is Brittney Hayes, but it is easy to see how how she was awarded the nickname Brittney Slayes.

[@nikkihayes5411]

She used to have her own youtube channel ....which is nice😈

[@christophschmedes5975]

1:06 I LOVE your Accent !!!!! 😍 I am from the U.S. ( Born and Raised ) but I Picked up my Grandparent's Swedish Accent, even though I don't Speak the Language People always ask O.M.G. Where are You from ? 😎

[@illfate757]

This song doesn't even show her range very much compared to what she can do but it is a great song all around!

[@DarrellW_UK]

The thing about Brittney is that she’s Classically trained, that explains her vocal range and skills, this shows what she’s capable of! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqnFYXqMbrV6opYsi=nTU5xGw4R0SOUhrf Liked your reaction, a bit like me the first time I heard her 🤯
