You have absolutely no idea how fast I clicked this when it popped up. Love this band. Her voice reminds me of a female Bruce Dickinson. Awesome range and control. ✌

[@PHLCoffeeSnob]

Well the drummer does that horse gallop beat that is classic iron maiden

[@MasterrMisterr]

Time Stands Still: Remember Eric Adams!... She is one Godness of Metal!

[@HollyWood6969100]

If Iron Maiden and Iced Earth had a kid, and adopted Megadeth.....Love this band!!!

[@brianlafrazia4034]

Great song! Fantastic reaction. This is an incredibly talented band. Musicianship, power, melody. Interesting content and lyrics. Glad you guys loved it.

[@TheFundead]

These guys are amazing... Been a fan since day one... amazing musicians....

[@dontaylor6268]

So glad you picked this one and that you liked it! Since you liked it so much may I suggest: UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - TONIGHT WE RIDE. It won't get as many requests but if you happen to read this comment, check it out. Brittney's voice is astounding in it.

[@NWGhost71]

Yes Tonight we ride is very kick ass! One of my favorites from them.

[@Unkyp]

#painintheask Unleash the Archers - tonight we ride

[@mikeyb8040]

I love this one. Unleash the Archers are amongst the elite of the genre in terms of pure talent. Thanks guys :)

[@jinjerjunkie]

Never been a fan of power metal, until I heard this band. I love their songs "apex" and "the general"

[@CryptolockerMD]

Never watched you before, but I love this band and clicked. You stankfaced at the appropriate moments, so you have my respect.

[@satoricrush]

Saw these guys back in Oct playing with Striker and Helion Prime. UTA opened with this song and the roof blew off the place. Set the tone for one hell of a set. All three bands kicked ass that night and Unleash the Archers just topped off one fantastic metal night. If they ever are in your area, without a doubt, go see them.

[@roy19491]

shredding the bass!!!!!!

[@whysoserious86]

It makes me happy to see other people enjoy their music as much as i do! If UTA keeps pumping out music like the Apex album they'll end up being one of the next big bands. They're so good!

[@dirtpile]

great reaction Kel!

[@belakiss8861]

they are incredible musicians, the drummer is the singers boyfriend. Brittney is a mindblow singer. Check out Brittney in a club doing (queen of the Reich). Also look at Abbys, General of the Dark army...these are great Archer songs....by the way they are from Vancouver...

[@TheElricBrothers]

i'd say I get a heavy Heart feel from her voice

[@leobarzi]

Dear I love u videos... Please, Pay Attention, Unleash of Archers will be the Savior of Heavy Metal in the World!!!! Great hug... Leo Barzi (from Brazil)

[@stevefromlondon4949]

Haha, here for my regular lunch break viewing - thanks for the (Sheldon) shout out guys! I'm now trying to imagine you playing tennis to this . . . I'm glad you loved it after all that, lol. Yeah, Brittney's voice is amazing. You now owe it to yourselves to listen to the whole Apex album. It's a concept album and there isn't a bad track on it. At the very least, try the title track :) I'm not going to stop, of course, so . . . #painintheask Cellar Darling - Insomnia Cellar Darling - Insomnia Cellar Darling - Insomnia I feel I have to say everything three times now, like Sheldon. Edit: Just checking . . . yes, I am a guy . . .

[@argantyr5154]

Besides its being a great song, I absolutely love the way this video is shot.

[@aether13x69]

You have got to react to their newest singles "Abyss" and "Soulbound"!

[@brandonshambaugh6640]

Finally!!!

[@majbrat]

Others have said it’s like Dio & Dickinson had a kid lol

[@byronstevens7404]

Try playing matt barlow era iced earth and unleash the archers side by side and you'll see she sounds like him, as if they were twins.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

One of my FAVORITE bands! My Top 5, of Unleash the Archers, besides Awakening: 1) The Coward's Way 2) Dreamcrusher 3) The Matriarch 4) Apex 5) cover of Queen of the Reich, by Queensryche And hopefully, I'm going to see Unleash the Archers March 18 in Detroit! EDIT: Since I don't know if you've done Sabaton yet, here goes: #painintheask #Sabaton40:1 #Sabaton40:1 #Sabaton40:1 Methinks you might react to it soon?

[@MrScarcejason911]

Sooooo..you like it then? ... 😁😉 Love this band too... Avatar-regret and House of Eternal hunt ...gives me a similar feeling when listening. (TECHNICALLY 2 tracks..but they are as one)

[@benhogan6732]

please check out their song The Matriarch too! :)

[@anthonycocke3155]

Just...Brittney Slayes...'nuff said...

[@LibertySpam]

Canadian Pre-workout

#Fear Factory - Invisible Wounds (Dark Bodies)

[@MetalMonkey]

Use OBS, there's no timing issues or editing. All you need is a laptop/pc/Mac and a webcam and it's free

[@samuelengle3773]

I get worse lag with my TV... You're good. I would put this bad in the same category and level as bands such as DragonForce and Hammerfall.

[@cachofriki]

Please GAMMA RAY "Beyond the black hole"

[@warhammer5690]

Brittneys vibratto isnt as quick and her tone is just dark enough to really power a song.

[@HiFi5i]

That is how you make sweet love to a drum kit.

[@Rose-From-the-Dead]

Hooray!!! This song is great. Unfortunately, they get really repetitive. I usually get bored about halfway through an album of theirs. And since you guys are getting into the growling, i have another band for you that doesnt get nearly the attention the deserve - Kalmah. Do the song Heroes to Us. There's no video, so you can just enjoy the music. And of course, they're Finnish #painintheask #metalchickpick

[@Offoda]

(maple syrup nothin... get some Poutine into your lives..) ;)

[@Lerock2013]

#symphonyx - Awakenings ... THE BEST :D

[@markmurray2235]

Another awesome reaction❤️ After that you are now going to have to listen to Dragonforce - Through fire and the flames

[@MaceLupo]

You want growls? How about Cannibal Corpse with Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead?

[@lordskysixss]

Power Metal always makes me want to grab a sword, go back to medieval times and die a miserable and pointless death. Let's be honest, i would be slaughtered out there.

[@XMorbidReignX]

Well yeah, but also, you'd be on average a solid foot taller than everyone around you so you'd have that going for you...

[@cobrasys]

One of the most underrated, funny and self-aware comments I've ever seen. Kudos sir, I literally LOLd.

[@donaldcampbell9483]

I think you would slaughter them all and then die from a bad piece of fruit....

[@kjaniga17]

Awesome reaction to a very underrated band. You HAVE to react to the entire "Apex" concept album in order because its fucking incredible. Awakening was the 1st song. Shadow Guide is next. Cheers!

[@Unkyp]

#painintheask yes you have to listen to the whole of the Apex album , it's a fantastic album \m/

[@6lillium]

Brittany Slays! That woman can belt out some Queensryche as well!

[@Cbyneorne]

Making you want to DO THINGS is what power metal is best at.

[@metalgma7336]

#MetalChickPicks If you really want to hear her sing listen to Tonight We Ride, or Time Stands Still. I highly recommend them. 🤘🖤🤘

[@charliep1]

You need to listen to the whole Apex album from these guys. Each song is a chapter in a story.

[@PitVanRooster69]

That would be Britney Slayes (Hayes).

[@timstarkes173]

an excellent singer in front of a God level band..

[@ingovonderluhe2174]

Now you are ready for JUDAS PRIEST : PAINKILLER!

[@L3onOfKings]

Yes! YES! and more YES!

[@ingovonderluhe2174]

WOW!They are sooo amazing.Unbelievable good musicians and Brittney Hayes Voice is so awsome.Check out her Version of Queensryche's QUEEN OF THE REICH (Japan Bonus Track of the new CD).She is even better than Geoff Tate !

[@michaeldougherty2807]

I still prefer Floor Jansen, but she is really good. That chorus is definitely an earworm.

[@mormacil]

Now THAT is power metal. I knew you guys would love it. Kel I'm not gonna say it's objectively great but in the same genre, Gloryhammer - The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee #kelsmetaljourney

[@elbaterojuan]

I´ll keep asking. Ayreon - The day that the world breaks down!!!!!! #painintheask

[@BlueSuress]

Listen to Unleash The Archers - Queen Of The Reich!! Queensryche's Old Tune!! It is kickass in your face awesome!!

[@mattgeisel3727]

For female vocalists you definitely have to check out Maria Brink from In this Moment...amazing. Good choices: Oh Lord, Sick Like Me, Adrenalize, Roots, there are so many #Kelsmetaljourney. Oh...loved the sha-kahkah quote...Bumblebee tuna, bumble tuna.....your balls are showing. (ace ventura 2) hah!

[@Bryan-T]

Time Stands Still is my favorite song from them. It's more of a ballad, make sure to check it out.

[@thebear128]

Thanks so much for reacting to this! I was one of the people who requested it, so thanks so much for getting to it so quickly! I'm glad you two enjoyed it.

[@derekhilton646]

Great reaction to Unleashvthe Archers. Okay ... next up ... an amazing concert from Paris by a group called EPICA. Song is Consign to Oblivion (Live at the Zenith). Truly EPIC!!

[@laochnasolais5520]

"favorite female singer of a metal band"... Agreed Rich

[@pedrotrust]

Wow , great choices tonight ! I'm here on my night shift on the other side of the ocean. Loving it ! Thank you.. #youbothrock

[@ExUSSailor]

I'm not normally into power metal, but, these guys are definitely a cut above typical power metal. They're so technical, and, really thrashy.

[@yahirave]

Double bass technique is amazing.

[@acrata6467]

Great guys ¡¡¡ greeting from argentina ¡¡¡

[@Mad9977]

another amazing female fronted band from Canada (Calgary) is Kobra And The Lotus, check out their song 50 Shades Of Evil, you will not regret it =)

[@MatthewP-Gr]

First comment " Ohhh s#*t !!!!!" Nice! This anticipation, the vocals and the guitars.... one of my favor bands today. tyvm Next from AtA should be: UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Tonight We Ride (Official Video) UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Cleanse The Bloodlines (Official Video) you will not be dissapointed...

[@amorodioamor4388]

I have a rare condition called RBS. It stands for Recurring Birthday Syndrome. When you have this condition every day seems like your Bday. So every day I will send you 3 Bday requests and we can celebrate my birthday.

[@kellicruz3004]

Another great Canadian band they fing rock ty for playing this video

[@vladtepes9614]

Her vocals are great. Another excellent vocalist is Leather Leaone from the 80's band Chastain. She's like a female version of Dio.

[@Heptarch7]

I first heard this song a little over a year ago. It became my favorite song. I have since listened to it probably a hundred more times (literally). My opinion hasn't changed. It has everything. Melody, tempo, power, flawless musicianship... Everything.

[@fooser77]

Recently you sampled Project Aegis .. That was the third iteration .. Check out the second with Daisa Munhoz .. Then check out with her band -- Vandroya ..

[@TheGrinder66]

Great song great reaction! I’m begging you Sylosis - Procession or Battlecross - Not Your Slave. They will not disappoint

[@RandyLott]

Funny thing is, this is one of their weaker songs on this album. Of course, in my opinion. My favorites on this album (mostly in order): False Walls Apex Call Me Immortal Cleanse The Bloodlines The Coward's Way Ten Thousand Against One

[@haywin4601]

PLEASE check out the band WOLF !!! Dude, you'd LOVE them... Wolf - False Preacher Wolf - EVIL Star Wolf - The Bite Wolf - Curse You Salem

[@warhammer5690]

Sweeet!!!! Canadian power metal. These guys are fucking outstanding!!!!!!

[@timokleemola7837]

If you like Unleash The Archers you want to react to Unleash The Archers - General Of The Dark Army (OFFICIAL VIDEO) link here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYfMYZdtpNZ3rNU

[@dandyprime5338]

Unleash the Archers are amazing. The album this song comes from, which is called Apex, was my #1 album of 2017 when it came out. It's SO good. I would highly suggest you check out "Cleanse the Bloodlines", "Tonight We Ride", and "Test Your Metal" by these guys to really hear how powerful Brittney Slayes' vocals can be.

[@gregpotter2278]

Brittany Slays is an amazing vocalist! Such beauty, power, and talent! The band is absolutely top notch and the drummer is bad ass!! You should check out the entire album this track is on. Its also a concept album...I believe its called "Apex"...great album! I'm really glad you enjoyed UTA. The second best group out of Canada, behind Rush, of course/// :-) BTW, you should hear Brittany singing "Queen of the Reich" by Queensryche in a local pub. She fuckin' SLAYS it- kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGmTdYWnpKysgtk

[@runesamuelsen1429]

hi Kel-n-Rich INFECTED RAIN - Storm (Lyric Video) | Napalm Records,you will love this song

[@DMSG1981]

#LacunaCoil Daylight Dancer (Berlin/Germany) It's also a Female-fronted Band, and they also use male growling/complementary male vocals. And they're from Italy. Edit: Their frontwoman, Cristina Scabbia, did a duet re-recording with Megadeth of their song "A tout le monde" that you already reacted to.

[@Paulzuzu]

There is a video on KZbin of Brittany Slays singing Queensryche's Queen of the Ryche at karaoke, after a show by Unleash the Archers. It's amazing, and she's unstoppable!

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

If you want to hear another female vocalist with similar power, try: Battle Beast - Black Ninja The song is probably cheesier, but the vocals...Wow!!!

[@Unkyp]

#painintheask Battle Beast - Black ninja

[@friarjon7948]

Yes! This song is so good. Battle Beast has an 80's hard rock vibe to them that's really appealing.

[@paulsmith3400]

Another female vocalist band is Kobra and the Lotus - "You Don't Know" - Killer tune!

[@keithvincent4]

#Mardelas/Apocalypse/track please.Power metal from japan.Thanks.

[@paulread4886]

SCANDAL from Japan. formed 2007 , 11 albums, touring the planet since 2009, and still in their 20's. They do great live shows, been to US several tours. Their first encore they got was in Seattle when they were still a highschool band playing at Comicon event. give em a spin please . recent single masterpiece > @

[@friarjon7948]

Yes! Unleash the Archers!... love me some power metal. I requested this one as well... Lizzy Hale from Halestorm is a good vocal comparison, they both have amazing pipes and the intensity is off the charts. Halestorm would've been another band suggestion of mine, but if you're already familiar with them it's not really a first reaction.... also a fan of Big Bang Theory :)

[@des_o7935]

check out their whole Apex album. It is so well done.

[@Bobcat665]

It's kind of crazy that Canada has been home to several female powerhouse singers of this calibre over the years. You should check out The Headpins and their song "Turn It Loud". (If you give that one a listen: If you can't hear what she's saying at the very beginning, you don't have it cranked up loud enough. 😉)

[@Fedorevsky]

Check out "Tonight We Ride" by Unleash the Archers.

[@putitupinya]

GUESS what reaction was bleeding thru? She felt every key change... beautiful

[@paulsmith3400]

Unleash the Archers: Apex (song) - you will sing it for days! Apex album is awesome! Metal Hall of Fame!

[@jppcasey]

Wholly cow! I would love to be a fly on the wall after this video reaction was shot. I don't think I've heard Kel use foul language or have that much...drive. Good for you Rich! I think I'm gonna play this for my girlfriend tonight. Wow.

[@DimiusG]

#painintheask Trivium- Other Worlds Trivium- Beauty in the Sorrow

[@friarjon7948]

Yes, Trivium! They remind me somewhat of oldschool Metallica. The whole "Sin and the Sentence" album is great but I'd say my favorite is "Beyond Oblivion". I second the #painintheask for Trivium.

[@proteusblack8913]

Hi guys! I've been bing watching your channel for the past two days now and at this point I have to say something. There is another channel I used to watch (Vinand Sori) which I only recently realized I got into mostly because one of the first ones I saw of them was an Opeth reaction and Sori would close her eyes and get swept away. That is what attracted me. But soon after that, she never did anymore and all they ever do is go through the lyrics and analyze them as Christians. They hardly comment on the music itself at all. Infact, they completely crapped on this Unleash The Archers song because they were already decided on how the video should have been produced but wasn't. You guys are what I was hoping Vinand Sori would have been. They are good reactors and do some amazing lyrical interpretation, but you guys truly and dearly know how to actually LISTEN to the music, and that, for me, is most important. So thank you so much for this whole channel. I am certain your son would be incredibly proud of you to for this. Second: About the album this song opens on - This entire album is a masterpiece from start to to finish. It is is also a concept album about an immortal who is summoned from his slumber in a mountain by an evil matriarch who wants him to retrieve her three sons, bring them before her and have her sacrifice them in a ritual to become immortal herself. Like a genie, he has to obey her. There is more to the plot but I will leave that up to you to discover. I would like to highly recommend a full listen through to this album whether it is a reaction or not. You won't regret it! Keep up the amazing work guys!

[@German_1]

Why don't yall make the screen a bit smaller, and we'll try to find it while listening...he said sarcastically...can ya'll make it bigger? Some have it for their whole back wall ! Thanks!

[@phanster5592]

Hey guys, If you like this one try "General of the dark army" also from UTA. another great, powerfull and "glorious" song.

[@glenntaylor1434]

For some reason, I discovered Drake and Unleash the Archers in 2020. My covid bands? Love them both!

[@justinchristoph3725]

For some reason, I always thought military helicopter combat crews must love this song. And Rich, I bet you were flashing back to your mosh pit days listening to this.

[@tonyborton1544]

You MUST listen to Amon Amarth!

[@kristijangrdosic466]

Do "Routa pt. 2" by Wolfheart. #painintheask

[@panagiwtislakrintis4459]

fiiiiinally the archers have been unleashed!!!yessss!!

[@Freedum_Fries]

so sorry for requesting this when you already did!!! :( love you 2!!!

[@Deakesy]

I clicked this straight away. Absolutely love this song and band and album. You really have to check out the entire album in track order It's a concept album so it's the only way to listen to it to fully appreciate it!!! You won't be Disappointed you should also react to Pisces by Jinger if you haven't already. I'm trying to catch up with what you release but you output so fast haha

[@Bonehead777]

Haha. Another penny dropper. This band are great and Britney Slayes, apparently her real name, has one hell of a range. Some of their other songs are vocally ridiculous. 😎🤘🏼

[@BoiledEgg74]

Riot V... with a female lead singer. Incredible group.

[@alanalanis2257]

Rhapsody in Blue by Liquid Tension Experiment Live in LA please. Thanks!!
