Canadian shooting stars UNLEASH THE ARCHERS have been on the road since their inception in 2007. Since then they have created an immensely loyal North American fan base. With a fresh sound, precise songwriting and the incredible feeling for heaviness and melodies, this power quintet with singer Brittney Slayes are now ready to take the rest of the world. Their new studio album Time Stands Still, is fast-paced and wildly entertaining; the combination of power vocals, death screams, tasty guitar licks and complex drumming provide a little something for everyone. Time Stands Still is kick ass heavy metal with fist-pumping anthemic melodies you can’t help but sing along to.

[@xDPx-zh7vr]

This song is like hearing 3 decades of metal wrapped up in 5 1/2 minutes. A little 80s hair metal, a little 90s thrash, and a dose of 2000s power metal all in one. UTA is the ultimate metal band hands down!!!!

[@WillianNilh]

That voice is unbelievable!

[@ahmetkupeli3913]

Kesinlikle! (Turkish)

[@gaargy1]

fellow metalheads. what we have here is a female version of rob halford/bruce Dickinson level voicework going on. I stumbled across this band lass than a hour ago and I am hooked. this band is great and write great songs but they would not be the same without her. she is amazing and literally brought me to tears in another video.

Same here buddy.

[@MathisSheathes]

Which video is that?

Matt Schroeder general of the dark army

[@gaargy1]

tonight we ride during the high part. I could not believe my ears and the spine tingling it caused.

[@MathisSheathes]

I know the exact part you mean :)

[@ACGreviews]

holy shit this is good

[@leolegario]

holy shit this is very good!

[@AmorrSummerstorm]

holy shit its still very very good!!

[@rongriffith625]

Brittney is the woman you look at and think she’s cute, then you learn how good she is at her job, then you watch an interview of hers and realize how smart she is, and then you fall in love. I’ve had a lot of time to think about this.

[@nicholasbrassard3512]

so true :D

[@bengeiger332]

Amen. I love metal chicks.

[@luciferthedoberman8991]

Literally every member of this band is like her. We are truly blessed to have them.

[@kuramacabre]

I am also in love with her.

[@malikaoubilla]

I love this band!

[@kobold1847]

'dont let your dreams get away, get up, go forth and make them scream!' is probably the most wholesome and motivational things ive heard from a metal band tbh

[@tanergirgin6569]

Leather jackets, drums, guitar riffs, vocals, back vocals... So much like the late 80s. So is the video. Just like a Warlock video. Feels home :)

[@Senythril]

Taner Girgin God damn dude i haven't warlock in years that brought some memories back.

[@tanergirgin6569]

I can't find music as good as those, so I keep listening to those songs every now and then.. I may be a dinasour but of the raptor kind. You know what I mean? ;)

[@Senythril]

Yeah i do man but i have found quite a few bands over the years that i really enjoy. If i can find i think i know a band you might like.

[@tanergirgin6569]

I am open to recommendations :) Thanks..

[@hugolalumiere9992]

Taner Girgin Why not go back to the good ol' roots? Plus a 80s or 90s metal chick singing. Having always been a fan of Joan Jett, this is just awesome. :)

[@jeremiahhoney650]

found this band randomly and I can not get enough of them, Her vocals are truly gifts from Apollo him self.

[@LordBoneSplitter]

And her looks are straight from Aphrodite

[@SergioMartinez-tj6gl]

And her attitude is fucking Freya

[@RangerOfTheOrder]

She looks like a girl I had a crush on in highschool. Although I came to find out she was an entitled little wench and she hated metal and country. Yeah, that crush didn't last long.

[@who_ever_nicked_my_accFOCK-OFF]

dont you mean Sameal?

[@bengeiger332]

I found them accidentally too. They are amazing. Brittany Slayes slays

[@TheMissing8]

Just discovered this band, fucken loven it. I dig her vocals.

[@guineanord]

+TheMissing8 It's like Dio's and Dickenson's voice had a daughter.

[@ummthatguy]

+TheMissing8 ya it just randomly popped on my youtube homepage. I have been missing a strong, non masculine(otep comes to mind) female meta l vocalist

[@ArvoR]

+Jeremy Stockton CRUCIFIED BARBARA Sisters SIn Lacuna Coil ofcourse

[@randalltempelaar]

Naw, Elize Ryd for sure. Lzzy Hale may even be better. I might be saying this because the subject matter/style they write for this chick isn't very..... flattering. She has talent though. She should join a band that uses her tone instead of her pitch as the focus.

[@mazanakaUA]

sadly music itself is not just generic or bland-it completely fades into background.The producers or the band itself were smart enough to accentuate the strengt of the lead's voce,but I think it would be better if they brought everything else up to that level.Or,alternatively, found better composers and musicians in another band.

[@ancientmetalguyauerbach8808]

Anytime you feel down or you wake up like Death . Test your Fuckin Metal . Probably the most awesome Woman in Metal with her posse . Ancient Metal Guy / Tasmania

[@musicaroo22]

Brittney Slayes has the best "Metal" voice in the world right now. There are other top voices with operatic quality, but Brittney owns the Rock/Metal number one position. UTA owns it!

[@demoncleaner80]

musicaroo22 I dig it so far, and I've been a fan of Huntress, so I'll have to check it out.

[@MaximusAdonicus]

musicaroo22 Bruh, she's fine, but let's not get crazy now... If you want the truly great powerhouse singers of the genre at this current time, then it's: Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast), Nitte Valo (ex- Battle Beast, current Burning Point), Kobra Paige (Kobra And The Lotus), Marta Gabriel (Crystal Viper)... Those are the best that come to my mind.

[@VeraceSzK]

musicaroo22 I second Maximus's point, that Noora and Nitte are both better, but she's not bad.

[@MrDgpistons]

Being a huge Huntress fan, I gotta throw Jill Jan us in there haha all these women have pipes, just depends on your genre

[@manuelrendon7428]

musicaroo22 Sorry the best is Simone Simons from Epica

[@kingballs632431]

Holy Shit this 80's throw back voice is amazing. New favorite band

[@71Fenderv22]

This song has an 80's metal feel to it... Love it

[@Trojanman441]

That drummer is a god damned MACHINE! DO YOU HAVE A METRONOME WHERE YOUR HEART SHOULD BE!?!?!?

[@caldera11]

I agree, sounds like shit

[@blazejecar]

*dreams of a european tour intensify*

[@Iwantedtoleavethis]

+blazejecar They're touring Europe in the fall.

[@OrestisNommie]

+Mrparpal where is that announced?

[@Iwantedtoleavethis]

+Orestis Dec, 10 2015 tweet. A reply to @Eternalcramps "Where'd you hear that?! Hitting the US next Spring and Europe in the fall! (Sshhh, no one knows that yet 😉 )"

[@humanoid1862]

blazejecar i found you again un coments section (we spoke at lt'rhapsody Il cigno nero) :v

[@blazejecar]

Carlos Eduardo Herrera something tells me we MAY have a kinda similar music taste

[@shanelewis9711]

Love this shit... TEST YOUR VOCALS OMG

[@kb0acl303]

She is the Goddess of high notes ....

[@ostlandr]

I never thought I'd live to see the day that old-school metal came back- and better than ever. This band rocks hard! \m/ \m/

[@metalhed636]

I knew it would come back... it was just about when. they're really awesome, and especially in the times of oversaturation of all these core bands...

[@greekfreak1980]

+Mark Stockman They're a shitload of great,new,oldschool metal bands,coming out over the last years,specially from Canada & Scandinavia.Check out Enforcer,Striker,Cauldron,Skullfist,Holy Grail,Santa Cruz,Cobra & The Lotus,Priestress,Helker,Diviner and Innerwish ,just to name a few.

[@metalhed636]

+greekfreak1980 i know a couple of those, some are really awesome...

[@Tgkjj]

also check out white wizzard

[@123boy125]

shout out to falconer.

[@Gashouse5150]

Damn she is such an amazing singer, she doesn't get the praise she deserves,we love you Brittany

[@jkessler410]

The two greatest days of my life 1) the birth of my son 2) the day I discovered this band

[@matthewdhewlett]

Just wait until 3) the day your son discovers this band

[@shredforceone]

I cannot watch this video without clicking 3:06 37 times. That note is just perfection

[@memo-jv4kk]

Es lo mejor

[@CatMiscelanea]

yaaaaas!!

[@shaunkedroski1905]

why does this give me slayer, megadeath, old iron maiden vibes??? not gonna lie i love it!!!

[@austinhudson5349]

What about this reminds you of Slayer in any way? Same with Megadeth honestly. Totally sounds like Iron Maiden but nothing like the other two.

[@shaunkedroski1905]

@@austinhudson5349 just some of the chord progressions and tone as well as the riffs

[@daytonaman2009]

Is it possible to get more metal than this?🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@michaelfox3651]

Ever since finding these guys, I can't get enough of them!!!!

[@roblofgran7596]

found this band by accident. I love their sound and their attitude! They fucking rock! She's a goddess! Wow !

[@Emil_Stoltz]

0:30 1:20 You been around town with an original sound and everyone knows who you are All you really got is your name, but everybody loves you the same The party don’t start till you walk in the bar, and the crowd is waiting on you As soon as they hit the lights, take flight But there’s not many places you can play and all the faces stay the same I’m not trying to say this town is lame but it’s time [Chorus] Test your metal Hot city nights, under city lights; we are the night [Verse 2] Trust me when I say to hit the road and escape, can you hear them calling for you Just try to take it day by day, the next town ain’t so far away There’s a world outside lets take a ride, I’m not gonna say it again Now’s the only chance you got to rock Don’t let your dreams get away, get up, go forth and make them scream… It's time [Chorus] Test your metal Hot city nights, under city lights; we are the night Test your metal Hot city nights, under city lights; we are the night

[@thebroskeez]

This singer (and band) is unreal. Super powerful. Absolutely hooked.

[@wildstarism]

I keep coming back again and again and again testing my metal.

[@boltstormofrs]

Listening to Unleash the Archers, surrounded by mates, getting pissed & stoned, what more could you ask for in life? XD

[@wowhead1]

A small, intimate crowd like that must go ABSOLUTELY NUTS when she wails like that 5 feet from them!!!

[@sigirameder3400]

Brittney and the boys .... Oh man, soooo freaking awesome !!! Love them !!!

[@fos427]

i didnt expect this to be actual amazing music, tonight we ride is great

[@differentfins]

This song gives me shivers, those vocals are out of this world! The rest of the band just pure energy and precision!

[@agoraphobicadam1171]

Oooooooooooo... Yeah......Huah!

[@thehellkite]

3:07 Holy crap. Gets me every single time.

[@MsCristyn83]

I tested... my metal is awesome 😉

[@dark1981rune]

Best of the best!! Seen them twice in Barcelona and they make you sky rocket like no one!!! Her voice is astonishing powerfull and 100% real!! And the Drums are so sick my heart goes jumping with every song!!! Best drummer in the world ever!!!!!

[@brandoncrawford3032]

Holy shit this is awesome. She has serious pipes.

[@user-se4bv3pp5k]

Her stories/full albums are in par or greater than some of the MOST classic fantasy/sci fi ever written by ANYONE ANYTIME in my literal opinion and read everything I can from The Hobbit to Issac ASIMOV

[@slingshotmcoy]

Finally, a female metal singer who stops trying to sound pretty and really lets it rip with the high notes.

[@ryanadams6653]

listen to crucified barbara, their singer has badass raspy vocals.

[@aSheNtRaiLs28]

I love how she sounds like a guy and a woman at the same time.

[@theendstarter1721]

+slingshotmcoy listen to Dalriada (Hungarian band), or listen to Buthcer Babies. Im not saying thye are better just more brutal ( but this is one of my favourire bands )

[@slingshotmcoy]

Plevell No, they just sound terrible.

[@albycelle7123]

oh yes!

[@ginamckinney612]

Very few songs you hear the first time and immediately play again. And it gets better each time. This song does. Well done.

[@solitariuslupus3311]

2:37 is just so moving. That powerful voice. :o

[@judaschrist404]

For me, that part is kinda like bringing color to a black and white world/life.

[@caligulajodorowsky]

Female singers of the world. please sing like this from now on. Thanks.

[@Thund3rPig]

OMG woman...that VOICE!

[@closer2theheart684]

I'm obsessed with this fucking band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brittney is an absolute METAL QUEEN.

[@Tuffty]

2 seconds into the song and I'm already hype as fuck.

[@wolvie90]

Whoaaa what in the flying fuck is this?! I expected some lame creamy folk/power shit, but this is some real heavy metal! This girl has the voice of a war-goddess!

[@cordellcanfield4921]

Listen to Tonight we Ride

[@grumpyoldgraymetalhead2441]

I would love to hear her sing some Manowar covers!

[@christopherpennington5200]

She's carrying the torch.

[@TheMrNalsur]

But... they are self-described Power Metal band... :|

[@guineanord]

Yeah dude I was blown the hell away the first time I heard this band too.

[@Koffis47]

The vocals are... power, yes, that's what they are!🤘

[@Tristanian]

[@Blackmetalmusicguru]

[@LastJames]

+Tyler Lopez same here man. 3:05 brought back some memories. (you gotta pause it quick)

[@guineanord]

+Tyler Lopez If Unleash The Archers played seriously simplex music, with all auto-tune in the vocals they would have made it big a few years ago.

[@DarthChosen]

she is so beautiful, if i ever meet her it will be like seeing a Valkyrie.

[@Cekocraft]

The future of heavy metal depends of bands like this! Keep up the good work!

[@tonher31]

Her voice is so fucking amazing

[@joelrankin]

I can't stop playing it.

[@pr0faker]

Goddamm this is so resemblant for my youth, going to metal concerts having fun not giving a fuck about anything unimportant. These guys seem to having a shitload of fun touring and look like great people to know besides the great music they make.

[@pilotbroF22]

i think i am in love with this singer!! her notes and delivery is absolutely astonishing!!

[@FrazerBrunton]

Can't listen to this song without getting hyped!

[@janhromas7276]

Great and amazing song. One of my favorite songs. Brittney is one of the best singers in the rock and metal scene. Incredible voice and amazing music. I love this band :-).

[@samjeanmclbsrecords2702]

Wow!! Scorpions, Accept, Stratovarius, Bullet for my Valentine, Halloween, Mercyful Fate, Judas Priest, Yngwie Malmsteen, uff!! = UNLEASH THE ARCHERS!

[@joseluiscouto2151]

Ooooohhhhh!!! Love it.

[@nicholasbrassard3512]

This song kicks ass!!!

[@switchboardrevelry4275]

This sounds like the lost song from Grim Reaper's album "Rock You to Hell" circa '87....very retro. I like it.

[@rolanddeschain9360]

Hell yes!! This is my favorite song off the new album. Support the band if you can, people. The album is $10 on iTunes and it's totally worth it!!

[@llcruize]

Love the songs, love the sound, love the vocals. Man, I hope she can keep up those vocals over the long haul!

[@angelgurgutov3016]

[@chriscockrell5939]

That song, is simply, badass

[@julieisahuman3540]

They look so fun to hang out with

[@Metalbass1979]

I discovered this band yesterday from a KZbin recommendation. After one song, I went to Amazon and bought the album. They are poised to be right up there with Symphony X and old Dream Theater as far as power, complexity and awesome song writing.

[@jeffmbateman]

Just stumbled on the band and am enthralled by the music but most especially that heavenly metal voice. Pure clean power.

[@achekspir]

Wow She ROCKS!... She remembers me Lita Ford!.... Great Vocals!

[@FormedBox]

This video gives me nostalgia for memories I don't have.

[@Odinx_-allfather]

This girl can sing!!! Better than any divas..metal rules

[@GoneBadAgnes]

I'm so much in love with this band

[@ives3572]

Brittney's vocals, really fucking hype!

[@christianauerbach9845]

Mines a long time in heavy music . Never thought anything could replace Tin Soldier for soul . Then Countdown To Ex for balls out . Then Behemoth and Watain one upped that . Now 55 years later along comes a Goddess and does this to my list . Not alone she's the bomb but if your lucky enough to get a fan mail back at ya , she is a good soul . Cheers Fucko's and Unleash .

[@InternacionalFreak]

I've heard this all day

[@juangallego7375]
