"I came to slay" - Brittney Slayes, 2024. And so she did.

[@Dreamwalker09]

“I'm not a human Not a machine I've lost myself but Gained all I need I've crawled my way out On shattered knees I've built an empire Rose from the fall With blood and oil I Will rule them all I'll stand before my people, fresh out of the fight I've taken every step to put wrongs to right And though at times I may have lost sight of the way With no one there to stop me, I came to slay Wind me up, let me loose Tie the knot, hang the noose Rather die for tomorrow Than live for today Be the empress of nothing Never serve again Rather die for tomorrow Than live for today Never asked for the power Anyway I've sacrificed my freedom Unfettered you all And yet I got no reason For feeling small I'm not a human I'm not a human I'm not a human I'm not a human Wind me up, let me loose Tie the knot, hang the noose All I've got left are dark thoughts inside of my mind Rather die for tomorrow Than live for today Be the empress of nothing Never serve again Rather die for tomorrow Than live for today Never asked for the power Anyway”

🤔 О чём оно?! 😉 - с кем они все постоянно "борются", каким "идеалам" служат? 😅 В чём таки цимес подобных текстов, стесняюсь спросить... 😂

Knowing this band exists has really been a treat. Thanks for all the great tunes!

[@krystenlecuyer3444]

Yes exactly!!

[@kacheson07]

This song is fire, needs radio play! Seems to be mixed reviews about these singles, i love that UTA isnt limiting themselves to the same thing over and over, they keep breaking through new ceilings, such an original band they need to be big headliners!

[@StompMud]

it's getting radio play on Nuclear Fallout Radio, hitting their DropZone tonight.

[@ThaStranger11]

Yeah they just keep getting better but one has to understand where they're coming from emotionally on their later work. Do this and you'll really appreciate their gifts. 🙏

[@MidnightMetalUniverse]

Excellent musicianship and Brittney Slayes is in my opinion one of the top five best female vocalists in the world of Metal today!

[@vir_engine]

Agree!

[@MrKrabbSquarepants]

Super cool person too!

[@ThaStranger11]

Really one of the best vocalists of all time, truly.

[@beast-dd5qo]

According to Arjen Lucassen she is THE BEST right now 🥰

[@measlyfurball37]

GOD I love Brittney's lower register so much

[@brettbosley779]

*That's* what's different. I couldn't put my finger on it.

[@Stexmo]

Stop looking at her lower register, perverts.

[@TheDomCoccaro]

@@brettbosley779 She's lost A LOT of her upper range. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but she was hitting ridiculous high notes a few albums ago.

[@tomwisniewski8988]

@@TheDomCoccaro She still hits them. She's just belting a bit different on this one.

[@wardg1496]

Brittney honestly, is a world class beauty. She captures your eyes. THEN her impressive vocals, take you prisoner. Such a clear, strong voice, easier lyrics. Then that vocal cannon opens up. She does it so effortlessly it seems. I can not honestly in words. Speak how amazing, and impressive. This lady is. Command us ohh Empress .. We're not worthy . 🤯🤩

[@mikegardner8563]

Really one of the top metal bands today..😊

My body is ready. Only 15 hours to go, lol.

That... was... ...AWESOME!

[@disgustor3404]

Man I love the grit in Britts voice on this track and the guys just send it as always. This album is gonna be a killer!

[@mop4232]

We all know Brits amazing when she hits the high notes, but it feels like she's hit a different gear on this track. There's so much more attitude than I think we've heard out of her and it's amazing.

[@tomwisniewski8988]

It's not so much grit as it is her belting voice. She's singing a little different on this album. It sounds great either way!

Just got my Blood Empress shirt in the mail today and it looks majestic!! 🤩🤘🏻 looking forward to hearing this new banger!

[@iDEATH]

My physical copy arrived early. 🤘🤘 The bonus tracks are really fun, too!

[@RafaelFaenir]

This music hits different, and i LIKE it! It's different, but still UtA, and Brittney's voice is deeper and grittier, It matches the music, the lyrics, and shows how versatile she can be! I'm loving how the album is shaping out to be, the first single didn't catch me that much, but I like it more and more as I get more context (and get used to the new sound)! Looking forward to seeing the band live in Wacken this year! \,,/ Ps: I had to laugh a bit when Brittney Slays singed "I came to slay"... I see what you did there :D

[@oramac7237]

Her voice is immaculate! Glad I wasn't the only one. I thought I was hearing things at first, but it is deeper and matches the tone really well. Love it!

[@WhiteWerewolfo]

Every time the Napalm Records explosion noise hits, I imagine my body ragdolling out the window of a 6 story building from how epic the song is gonna be

There are no words for how much I love this band. Just incapable of missing. This album was fantastic.

[@dropkick9517]

I want to make it clear I absolutely adore this track but it was kind of weird that it felt like it kept building up and I was just waiting for Brittney to go full Banshee of Power mode but even though her vocals were gorgeous as always it felt like she was restraining herself a bit? Idk its hard to explain, I may just be slowly losing my mind lol.

@@cloudcollector83it’s the 10th track, so likely the end of the story, or nearly so. Could be they’re planning a dual concept album again.

@@Spookdookin not at all, the fade out felt a bit weird to me, so I thought there might be some sort or transition going on to another track.. but I just checked the tracklist again and since it's the final track, it isn't all that odd anymore
