In a recent interview, Brittney said she was influenced by Dio, Halford, Tate and Dickinson, plus one of my favourites that you may not have heard of, Daniel Heiman of Lost Horizon. If you really want to hear Brittney do that old school metal wail, try listening to "Tonight We Ride". Just to go full circle, Steve Harris is a major Nightwish fan. Fun fact, Brittney was a hardcore rugby player in university. She is also a classically trained mezzo-soprano.

[@mitchthepower]

Rugby player and classically trained singer... perfect combination. 😆

[@THCLughe]

I think Daniel Heiman is the best male metal singer of all time. It's such a shame that he's not famous as he deserves

[@billattercliffe8655]

@@THCLughe I have "A Flame to the Ground Beneath" and it's one of my favourite albums.

[@THCLughe]

@@billattercliffe8655 i keep playing in my car "highlander" and "think not forever"... he's really a god. The whole band was awesome. it's such a shame they did only 2 albums

[@stups9975]

UTA is an amazing band. They do nothing but put out great kick ass music. I love this song. If you really want to see what the vocalist Brittany can do...check out Tonight We Ride. She blows the roof off on that song and the band kills it as well. But you can’t go wrong with any song from them 🤟🏻

[@daydreamer2064]

You met Nightwish, you met Unleash the Archers.. now is time for AYREON "Everybody dies" from Ayreon Universe concert 😉🤘 p.s. little gift at the end of that song 🎤

[@sreneethomas]

I can’t see enough people reacting to this song. The first time I heard it I was blown away! Great reaction guys 🖤

[@BudhagRizzo]

Drummer's double-bass technique is awesomely unorthodox. It's impressive!

[@chilly2go]

Welcome to the UTA rabbit hole. I have become a huge fan in the last year and I can't wait to see them live. You should check out Tonight We Ride - Official Video. Also since you are talking about young artists who are heavily influenced from the 70's/80's you have to check out Liliac - Master of Puppets. It's an amazing cover from you know who. Liliac also has some awesome original songs as well.

[@michelle32855]

The technique is called "claw hammer"...the curved fingers being the "claws" and the thumb being the "hammer". It allows for more strikes in less time.

[@rogermalloy6545]

i did't see your comment before I commented the basic same thing lol

[@adamtaylor9617]

Pride of Canada. Bass player plays a dingwall

[@appalachiankayaking2430]

Now you have to listen to them doing tonight we ride and then soul bound! Perfection 👌

[@michaeldavid3000]

welcome to the world of Uta Its one hell of a ride.. first heard them a year and a bit ago.. they are now my ut most fav.. right there with Gojira and Devin Townsend.. love the reaction.. new sub.. look forward to the next .. tc n be safe

[@shawnski001]

Another great choice! You guys are finding some fantastic songs lately!

[@CATCHtheSCASE]

Hell yeah! Hit us with some more

[@Lannisen]

Tonight we ride Cleanse the bloodlines Northwest Passage Abyss Soulbound Faster than light Roughly in that order. The first three will at least be a good example of their range, and Northwest Passage is a special favourite of mine cause it's a cover of a very popular Canadian folk song.

[@shuriken4852]

Funny that you immediately mentioned Bruce Dickinson, as I just saw a Brittney interview with a vocal coach and she did say that Bruce was her biggest influence.

[@CATCHtheSCASE]

You can absolutely hear it, but not in a copycat way. It comes off more as true passion for music, which we love

[@DarkKlown1450]

They formed in 2009. Britney Slayes and Scott Buchanan (drummer) are the only original members left. Grant (guitarist) wearing the Ibanez shirt, joined in 2011 and Andrew (guitarist) joined 2014. Nikko, the bassist, exited the band in 2018.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Hey guys! I have a bit of a different flavor to recommend: An Indian folk metal band called Bloodywood. They are an awesome group of guys, and they sing about things like mental illness, suicide, and dealing with the loss of a loved one. I recommend "Yaad" and "Jee Veerey," along with "Endurant" and "Ari Ari." They sing in Hindi or Punjabi (not sure which). Another band is from Ukraine -- Ignea. They released The Realms of Fire and Death almost a year ago, and the lead vocalist, Helle Bogdanova, does both cleans and growls. They've done one song in Ukrainian -- Chorna Polnya (Black Flame). I recommend Disenchantment or Jinnslammer. Thanks for reacting to UtA!

[@BruceEpper]

You guys are the first ones I have seen comment about the bassist's right-hand technique. I'm still waiting to see anyone comment on the drummer's heel-toe on dual kicks though. He does it like a fucking machine! Previously, I have only seen that used on a single kick.

[@CATCHtheSCASE]

YES!! I was looking for that term when we were watching but was too awestruck to remember. Thank you for saying that.

[@Z_TPI]

UTA is a Canadian band from Victoria BC. They play a fusion of power, death, and melodic metal. I like to call it Final Boss Metal haha. Here's a vague breakdown to give some context to the lyrics. This song is from 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 his mountain is lol from the single Abyss. I won't go into the rest of the album lol For something heavier by them: Cleanse The Bloodlines For Brittney really going wild: Tonight We Ride Epic song writing: Apex(official audio only on KZbin) Something different: Legacy(really cool lyric video) Subbed from Toronto 🤘🇨🇦

[@DrumsAndGadgets]

Guys, 1) What are you drinking? Jim...? 2) You should check Wintersun, Finnish metal band, surprise, whose original drummer is Kai Hahto who is current Nightwish drummer. Anyways, check Wintersun song called "Sons of Winter and Stars". You will need another bottle...cheers from Finland

LOVE that Maiden - Cover "..RUNNN..TOOO..THE..HILLLLS.." :-)

[@oddselstudios166]

Britney has said she's been massively influenced by Maiden.

[@theatomicpirategirl]

This release is from 2017. At this time, they band had been together for 10 years. They released their new album in August of 2020. There is an amazing growth from their first album until now. Highly recommend all their catalogue. It’s epic and fun. If you want old stuff: General of the Dark Army. Newer stuff: Faster Than Light or Soulbound Have a great day!

[@tacg99]

So many songs by Unleash The Archers to choose. Some of my personal favorites by them are Test Your Metal, Abyss, Soulbound, Time Stands Still, Legacy, Cleanse The Bloodlines ,Northwest Passage and Tonight We Ride!!! I've been listening to them for almost a year now and I haven't come across a bad song or anything that would be just be album filler. They kick ass and they're canadian!!! Awesome video guys. Another band to check out is Arch Enemy!!!

[@keving217]

Tonight. We. Ride!!! Let’s go!!!

[@CATCHtheSCASE]

That's been requested a ton so you bet your sexy ass it's going on the list!

[@crymsonvega4854]

I'm thankful for this song, it always makes me smile in gloomy days. BTW You think that's 80's style Metal, wait till you check out 'Battle Beast' and 'Beast In Black'.

[@chrismitchell9689]

That song is an absolute RIDE.

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Britney Slayes is an Iron Maiden fan since she was 8 years old 👀👀👀Love the channel, never change guys 🐱‍👤🎶👍 Well there is the Japanse all female Metalband Band Maid 😜😆😍 And Ann Wilson from Heart is AWESOME too guys 💕💕💕 And Marko Hieltala the Bassis from Nightwish pluks his bass too 😎🎶🐱‍👤 Marko began as a guitarist and alsoo still is one.

[@angussharington2374]

Next "Tonight We Ride" and after that maybe something new

[@scottwalker2171]

Brittney is an amazing vocalist, and the band so tight, great Canadian musicians. Another great Canadian band up and coming is Spiritbox! If you like Jinger, Courtney is just as good, but different sound as well. Check out rule of nines, blessed be, holy roller, and Constance by them, and you’ll see their diversity.

[@AGDinCA]

By the way, Geoff Tate (of Queensryche) is actually Brittney's mentor.

[@jen.g.]

Came here to say this.

[@AGDinCA]

@@jen.g. Isn't that just the coolest?! Imagine Geoff Tate as your mentor... or any of the incredible singers of that era! I would want Ian Gillan or Ronnie James Dio. But I wouldn't say no to Mr. Tate!

All of their songs are badass! Just a list of some must-react-tos...

[@00Jess_M]

To watch the anticipation (I could almost see the thought "please, be good... please, be good" hovering over your heads) and then your faces lighting up when she started singing after her scream was pretty fun. 😁

[@CATCHtheSCASE]

We were both very pleasantly surprised! Definitely going to check out more very soon

[@andreaspedersen3952]

Classic power metal.. but with a twist. I recommend checking out the japanese music scene. Lovebites are inspired by maiden, helloween, Metallica.. "Holy war", live 5 of a kind will blow your mind! Band-maid too.. though they're a hard-rock band. "Blooming" (video) is the gateway drug.

[@horrorshow3000]

Cheers, band from where I'm born in Vancouver, Next tune reaction from them has gotta be Tonight We Ride! rock on \m/

[@DarkKlown1450]

If you loved Awakening then be prepared for more amazing music. Apex (2018) and Abyss (2020) are both concept albums telling an amazing fantasy story. Listen to to both in order. Britney explains the album and songs on UTAs channel.

[@mvd2080]

tx guys, this band keeps blowing my fokn mind

[@CATCHtheSCASE]

Same!!!.. and our loads!!

[@DarkKlown1450]

Songs to check out: The entire Apex album! The entire Abyss album Tonight We Ride, Test Your Metal, Time Stands Still, Dawn of Ages, General of the Dark Army, Dreamcrusher, City of Iron, Destroyer....actually just listen to everything.

[@Wandererdown]

Great reaction! There is 1 more non lyric music video from the APEX album: Cleanse the Bloodlines. React to it and then you're free to devour the album.

[@pstwork]

Checkout Liliac guys, amazing teenage female vocalist. A good intro is their song “Nothing”.

[@vagabond142]

4:57 "Dude, this is like... 80's" Okay, in that case you need to check out two more bands: Beast in Black - Sweet True Lies (Finnish band, same country as Nightwish) and another kickass Canadian band, Stryker - Former Glory. I think you'll love both :)

[@Efferri]

You've just begun the journey. Check out Abyss, Faster Than Light, and Tonight We Ride

[@nuts4414]

Oh boy, you guys have to do Unleash the Archers - Cleanse the Bloodlines next!

[@CATCHtheSCASE]

As soon as we're back online, it's in the list!

[@MooreCEJr]

Bass player is using Clawhammer. Clawhammer picking, by contrast, is primarily a down-picking style. The hand assumes a claw-like shape and the strumming finger is kept fairly stiff, striking the strings by the motion of the hand at the wrist and/or elbow, rather than a flicking motion by the finger. In its most common form on the banjo, only the thumb and middle or index finger are used and the finger always downpicks, hitting the string with the back of the fingernail. By contrast, the thumb rests on the fifth string with the downpick motion, and is often released in a lighter up-pick to create the distinctive clawhammer sound. In this video it makes the sound of the gallop or horse ride into battle. Check out Liliac with front woman Melody Cristea (influenced by Ronnie Jame Dio ) doing Metallica cover "Master of Puppets

[@genebuist]

To see what Metallica could have been, check out Orbit Culture. Open Eye or Mute the Silent. They even covered Hardwired. Thanks for the UTA and Nightwish reactions.

[@deliathorja442]

yes!

[@almuramoo5554]

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

[@DETHdressedInRED]

Oh man... You guys did this band AND JINJER? I can't take too much more of this I'm gonna fucking go blue in the face and pass out.

[@andrebrodbeck3883]

"I am a Bundy chunky" this is what the drummer´s shirt says

[@CATCHtheSCASE]

That's amazing.

[@FinishedGamesLLC]

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.

[@damienmaynard8892]

Brittney Slayes - yes, she does! Scott on drums - how many limbs!? No official bass player! They have two guitarists - Grant Truesdell (screamer vocals) and Andy (Andrew Kingsley). I think Nick Miller played bass for this. (There was a blooper where he got his hair caught in the strings during the itty bitty bass solo - still played it right!)

[@zaqhavok]

This song, imo, is a great representation of how good the band is. You should listen to Tonight We Ride to get the best of Brittany

[@stevecain6377]

I love all 3, Jinjer, Nightwish and Unleash The Archers. But wait until you see Lovebites! :D

[@andrewcarter1747]

UTA have been going for about 10 years now, I'd argue they've grown into the best power metal going these days. Two great songs of theirs to try, General of the Dark Army and Soulbound, from opposite ends of their career.

[@chrisgoldston9755]

Haha we did it to you guys again....UTA is definitely 80 power metal inspired band, Bruce and Geoff Tate vocal vibes and Maiden is Britney favourite band of all time...you can tell 😎🤘🔥

4:06 - The Highspeed Power Metal Train accellerates.....synchronized head-nodding....Welcome to UTA. They are great and Brittney is not nicknamed SLAYES without a reason....check Tonight we Ride for some more Voice Range...and yes...they are technically superb....The Complete Album APEX is a Masterpiece.

[@LarryTooley]

Welcome back guys and welcome to UTA. In addition to the solid suggestions I see in other comments, check out the UTA song Legacy. Different style but amazing song nonetheless. Video was shot in a cool way to. These guy are DIY metal at its best.

[@toomasargel8503]

04:02 this is not technical metal but Power metal.

[@timothyfritz5772]

Great one guys! Next do Tonight We Ride - will melt your fucking face 🤘

[@FinishedGamesLLC]

If you really want to hear Brittney's vocals, Tonight We Ride and Abyss are some of the best examples.

[@deadfall8475]

Much like you guys are doing the whole Wacken show, you should do this whole album, this is a concept album. Do the whole thing in order, even if its just lyric videos. then go on to Abyss, which is a sequel to the story of this album. Its about an immortal beings struggle against an Evil Matriarch. and it spans a couple generations in the story. its pretty dope, and a great ride.

[@punkskaterpizza]

Oh Please do test your metal by Unleash The Archers next its such a great song!!

[@almuramoo5554]

FINALLY! Welcome to my world dudes.. So many stuff from UtA to recomend, I actually dont know where to start... You can pick and song, you want regret it... But, we have to go further, so yeah, please react to UtA - Tonight we Ride (2015), love ur channel, stay safe and greetz from 🇩🇪

[@MustaLaatta]

Who says "cheers" with Gatorade, LOL??

[@CATCHtheSCASE]

It was whiskey. Lol

[@monseigneurlerichelieu7739]

Great reaction! I think Cleanse The Bloodlines would be a good choice for your next song, before moving to the last album with Abyss and Soulbound. Eager to see your reaction. Liked. Subscrided.

[@josephbishop3590]

Sadly, this bassist is no longer with the band... Because I think he's a wizard with the bass. ....you'll probably get this from several viewers as a Reactor tip.... When interrupting for commentary, you might want to back up or rewind using the keyboard shortcuts a few seconds to regain the momentum of the song/video, for a more comfortable viewing experience.

[@gameplayfirst-ger]

Check out Lovebites (live!) for best female metal. Good first song would be "Swan Song" or "Scream for Me" - or maybe the Helloween Cover "Eagle Fly Free".

[@tthompson5707]

Try some Liliac. Their cover of Master of Puppets is amazing, really like Mystery too. Another rabbit hole to go down is Leo Moracchioli from Frog Leap Studios :)

[@Midwest-MP-Eng]

Lots of great UTA out there to be enjoyed like General of Dark Army and Abyss. Also recommend you check out Brothers of Metal - Chainbreaker or One.

[@christinaalgate4899]

Hi guys I think you should check out another Canadian lead singer with the band Arch Enemy and her name is Alissa White- Gluz. You guys should checkout Anneke van Giersbergen with the band The Gathering. If it wasn't for Anneke and her band singing Strange Machines there wouldn't be a Floor. Strange machines at Pink Pop Concert. Guys u should really check out Floor's 1st 2 bands After Forever and Revamp. In Revamp Floor does some growls. She started at 16 as a background singer then became lead singer. When she went to the Rock Academy in Netherlands she and After Forever had already been on tour

[@Thedireraven93]

you guys should check out Tonight We Ride by Unleash The Archers it shows off Brittneys' Talent a little bit more

[@scottblydo5631]

Oh i have been waiting for awhile for you guys to finally tap into this band. UTA is unreal personally i think they have better songs. If you want to see Brittany vocals you really have to check out "Tonight We Ride" and "Abyss" those songs really show her vocals can't to see you guys check these other songs out.

The bass player here almost has a similar technique to what is used a lot when playing banjo i.e. clawhammer technique.

[@emelielonnberg.]

Check out Brittney doing opera with Lords of the Trident channel. This metal queen is also classically trained. Then react to Test your metal with Unleash The Archers!

[@dannew1732]

If you want another young band with old hard rock sound check out the band The Warning. They are 3 young sisters from Mexico the youngest is 16, and their 3:rd album is soon to be released. For instance this is a good song to start with, Dull Knives: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4e4dK2ned6Cmqs Someone else mentioned Sabaton, they are great as well their unique theming, all of their song is from Military History they don't take sides and have songs from many different views/sides. They also have a history channel where they go through the actual history that their songs covers.

[@jordanhowe5998]

Some great recommendations down here, but don’t sleep on Brittney’s (lead singer) Metal Opera battle.

[@VelcroSnake93]

General of the Dark Army is an excellent somewhat earlier song from UtA.

[@embran8486]

If you love the workout vibe a Band gives definitely try Sabaton and German Industrial metal band Rammstein as well.

[@dominic0917]

Tonight we ride by them has to be next! Brittney(the lead singer) is the star in that. The video is badass too.

Evanescence wasn't mine either. But there are so many more to experience as you said :)

Okay, yes UTA IS power metal, but I don't think you can say "They sound like..." These kids are LEGIT unique in my opinion.
