Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
Unleash the Archers is on its way to bring the next big metal band. They have the best metal vocalist in music right now. And the band is immensely talented. One of my favorite bands, and my 9 year old daughter is a big fan of the singer.
All the members are incredibly talented and just as good live. You really can’t go wrong with their songs. Soulbound, Abyss, and Faster than Light are off their 2020 Juno award winning album. Cleanse the Bloodlines is a great storytelling video. Tonight We Ride shows off Brittney Slayes’ amazing range and more the bands harsh vocals. Dawn of Ages and General of the Dark Army are great older videos. The Wind that Shapes the Land, Apex, and Afterlife don’t have videos but are some the fan’s and band’s favorites.
Totally agree with you Scott. The only thing I wish is they wouldn’t do the brutal/death vocals. Just my personal opinion , not a fan of those type of vocals. When a band writes/ plays such incredible music and to have probably the best vocalist in Metal , I think the death metal vocals take away from it. Just my opinion . But , it’s not going to keep me from listening to UTA, I’m a fan for life.
@@edrossman2654 I get why some might not like those vocals, but in apex and abyss, they are a part of the story and give you reference to which character is giving the dialogue.
@Bisscute I was a thrash metal drummer 🥁and the singer 🎤for my bands back in the early 1980's. I started playing out live in bars when I was 15. Back then we used to play three, 1-hour sets each night. It was brutal at first. But was also the most awesome of awesomeness 🤘🏼 I started playing the snare is it child and picked up the drum set when I was around 11. My brother and I were lucky enough to be gifted with some natural abilities - me on the greatest instrument 🥁 and him on the easier & less respected guitar 🎸. I took a few weekly lessons on the drum kit. But within a few months I maxed out what the instructor knew. After that, I never had another lesson. Soon I was able to pick up songs after hearing them once (🎼 my brother could do this too - on his easy instrument 🎸🎶) and we'd jam together constantly. We used to practice 2 - 8 hours a day as often as possible. Initially, I learned drum parts in songs slow, then added speed. Soon it was all about motor memory skills. After a while, I could literally play blindfolded and play accurately & pretty damn fast. To give you an idea : 2 weeks after Slayer released "Angel of Death", it became our show opener. Me drumming and singing 90% of the songs we played. We would play upwards of 40-50 Metal songs a night. No ballads no love songs. All fast & heavy thrash metal, punk & hardcore. I think the slowest songs we played were Motörhead & Judas Priest. We only played 2 sets if we had an opening band. I ended up playing professionally for over 15 years on 3 continents or so. We had many original songs but never landed a record deal. We just didn't know the business and some members refused to move to the "Big City". So to make a long story much longer 😬it takes LOTS & LOTS of practice individually. And even MORE as a band. My bands always practiced every day at first. On weekends, we would stay in the practice room all day. Repetition makes you tight. It's hard work and some never achieve it, but it's ✨magical ✨ when you reach that plateau. Every member knows what the other is doing. We could improvise and do whatever we wanted and everything was in the pocket - tight. We felt invincible. Once we got really tight, we did not need to practice as much or none at all. Our shows became our "practice". But we always wanted to learn new material and just enjoyed jamming. As far as singing goes, I never was that great at it, I think some singers are just natural and only need to strengthen their vocal chords as opposed to "learning" to sing. The most difficult aspect for me to sing while drumming was to learn how & when to breathe during each song. Initially, I would be out of breath and gasping for air after every song. But after months of practice, breathing became second nature. I never took vocal lessons but definitely should have. Of course we all had full-time jobs at the time. I was a journeyman electrician during all of this. You really got to want it, love it and it helps to start young. There I'm done. Sorry it's so long (but you did ask and the one thing musicians love as much as their music is TALKING about their music to anyone and everyone 😀) PS You're my new favorite "reaction" channel. Good luck, continued success & thanks for sharing !!
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
It takes years of practice to play at their level. I laughed at the drummer the first time I saw this. He's dressed funny. I shut up when he started playing
this drummer is using double bass foot pedals. that adds a lot to the percussion element, im guessing thats why you like this drummers sound more. getting this good at guitar takes years of practice. For your fingers to move this fast you have to do it so much that it becomes muscle memory and you dont even have to think about where yours fingers are going
The video game reference almost fits in the song. The song gives a feeling of victory and triumph. As someone who has been playing guitar for over 20 years, the musicianship of the band is incredible and they are very tight.
I've been playing guitar for almost 30 years. I started playing young. To get your finger work to that level and beyond, you practice every day. You also have to be dedicated. I generally practice 30 minutes to an hour everyday.
This band is my absolute No. 1 in the Genre, because THAT is true ART and every part of the band gets its focus! Not just the Singer! Thank you for your great React! Have now seen 2 videos of you and could it be that you like guitar solos very much? I think I have seen this xD in your name is cute but you and your smile are REALLY CUTE ;-) Abo done
Love your reaction. This is one of my favorite bands. This song kicks off a great 2 album concept story Apex then Abyss. Brittney does a track by track breakdown of this on you tube. try Test your Metal and Tonight we Ride from the Time Stands Still album for some more fun from this awesome band 😃 btw I just subscribed 😊
If you want to continue hearing bands fronted by women who can scream and growl, I recommend ARCH ENEMY. Their current Manager and former frontwoman, Angela Gossow, was one of the first women (if not THE first woman) who made it possible for women to achieve acceptance performing harsh vocals in Metal. She was an absolute force of nature, her time fronting them was their best period and the song "Nemesis" is a good starter. Arch Enemy is still around, but they are now being fronted by Alissa White-Gluz, who has really improved with them and my recommended song "On And On" is my favourite song on 'War Eternal', her first album with them, is my favourite on the album! There's also a bit of an explosion of bands fronted by women who can do harsh vocals happening right now (also has been happening over the past decade), and I am loving the sight and sound of it! You've done Jinjer, Spiritbox, and Unleash The Archers, but some other bands worth checking besides Arch Enemy are: ROLO TOMASSI (They've been around since 2008) - "Rituals" and "A Flood Of Light" VINTERSEA - "Spawn Awakening" EMPLOYED TO SERVE - "Exist" and "Mark Of The Grave" WALLS OF JERICHO - "Feeding Frenzy" IWRESTLEDABEARONCE, Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox's former band - "Gift Of Death" (a song from her second and final album with them, and the band's final album period). However, Courtney wasn't the only frontwoman IWABO had in their career, as she replaced their founding frontwoman Krysta Cameron, who left the band when she was pregnant. Anyway, "The Cat's Pajamas" is one of Krysta's songs with them and my favourite from her time with them. THE AGONIST, Alissa White-Gluz's former band - "Panophobia" (from her last album with the band). The band replaced her with Vicky Psarakis, and she has been their voice ever since. I didn't like Vicky's first pair of albums with them, but their most recent album was amazing and I recommend the song "In Vertigo". SPOIL ENGINE - "Stormsleeper" MONOCHROMATIC BLACK - "Phosphenes" KARKAOS - "Tyrants" SOME BANDS FRONTED BY WOMEN WHO EXCLUSIVELY SING THOUGH: WITHIN TEMPTATION - "Our Solemn Hour" (WT has MANY great songs that I can recommend, but this one is in my Top 5 of theirs). LACUNA COIL - "Blood, Tears, Dust" NIGHTWISH - "Nemo" EPICA (They have what's called a Beauty and a Beast: Female clean singer, male screamer/growler) - "The Skeleton Key" DRACONIAN (They also do the Beauty and the Beast thing) - "Last Hour Of Ancient Sunlight"
In my opinion Sabrina from Holy Moses was the first. Or she had a naturally deep voice. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2k2SPANXYR8.html
@@flunkyballs4610 I checked the link and stand corrected. I didn't know about this band before because I don't listen to Thrash Metal other than Metallica and Testament. However, I would say the post-2000s trend of women bringing screaming and growling in Metal bands is more Angela's influence than Sabina's because of how immense Arch Enemy became.
The idea of a quest or adventure starting is spot on. The album Apex is a two part concept with Abyss that tells the story of the Immortal and the Matriarch. Awakening is the first part of that story when the Immortal is awoken by the Matriarch. Brittany, the singer, is representing the Immortal and Grant doing the harsh vocals is the Matriarch calling out to the Immortal because the he is bound to follow the orders of the person that wakes him. The two albums tell a really cool story and they are producing a graphic novel of the Immortal saga.
I agree with every suggestion you have so far. Interestingly you mentioned video games and quests, UTA albums are centered around stories about quests and adventures and they would admit they are big gaming nerds. For another perspective on the band, I suggest reacting to their cover of "Northwest Passage". It's considered Canada's unofficial second National Anthem and they do an amazing job of it.
Oh wow thank you so much for the information, I might not be a singer or have any musical talent but apparently I have good intuition , I will use their album next time I have a raid or dungeon going on , their music keeps me energized ☺️💯
@@BisscuteReacts Ahh, when i heared you talking about "crowd control" in the Nightwish videos i was already wondering if you play MMOs, and here i have the answer 😂🤘🏼
It's 100% hard work , it always is. It's what you can do with that skill we call talent, I personally would call it creativity. That is what put the limits to your technique or improve your lack of it.
Since no one mentioned his name for you the drummer's name is Scott Buchanan. I am new to your reactions and I am really enjoying watching you get used to Nightwish,Dimash and UTA. Great job and best of luck to you on your reactions in the future.
Great reaction Bisscute Indeed they aré amazing musicians and in the metal there aré a lot of technical and skilled musicians singers and composers What It need to play this way 50- practice 50 talent But these guys must be 85 % talent 95% practice 😄 I love your reactions Greets Bisscute!!!
talent will show you the way to mastery. practice will get you there. thousands and thousands and thousands of hours of practice to get to the level of this band.
as for finger speed on guitar think of it like typing on a keyboard when you just start you are slow but you get gradually faster and faster until you can click keys without think and a much faster pace than you could think.
This is one of my fave bands. In addition to all being insanely talented, they are all super nice and down to earth and love interacting with their fans. Most of them stream on Twitch and yes they really do play that fast. I have heard the guitarists say they have been playing 20 or so years. They are taking this year off touring to write their next album.
Check out Nightwish: Ghost Love Score live at Waken! Floor Jansen has the voice of an angel and the band really brings the feeling of going on a quest in most of their songs. I think you would really enjoy them.
Lol, you said you don’t like drums and then shortly after that you’re wanting to play “air drums.” I think secretly you really love the drums even if you didn’t know it before this.😂🤘❤️
That was great. She sounds fantastic and the ability of the musicians is unbelievable. Totally random suggestion For something fun and unique check out the band Eskimo callboy video "We got the moves"
Buna zia, Bisscute. Do not worry about your English, you are doing fine. This band is from Canada, and they are extremely friendly folks. They are also incredible musicians. I would like to say that anyone could get to that level of talent if they had enough time and lessons, but I believe that the Very Best musicians do have the ability to tap their special talent. And even with that, it takes at least 5-7 years of steady practice to perfect the timing and accuracy of their playing. If you want to hear more from UTA, you might want to listen to Tonight We Ride, or Legacy, or Abyss. Enjoy their music. They are a special band, to me.
Thank you, Bisscute, for your reactions. I have watched quite a few now. (a) I love your accent and (b) I love how you try to express how you are feeling and how the different parts of the music affect you. Many reactors just say, "Wow, that was amazing. Don't forget to comment and subscribe. Bye,"" but you seem to try to explain how the song makes you feel, what you like and what you don't understand and want to know more about, which makes you seem much more genuine. If you like the drums in this song, maybe you should watch 'Sons of Winter XXX OK. You've already done that. Another amazing drum performance is by Dan Presland in the Australian prog metal band 'Ne Obliviscaris' (Do not forget) playing 'And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope' live in Colorado, 2016. (No, I don't know what it means either. I don't think anyone does) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rNuVdsx7qJY.html
Brittney singing opera: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Txb0GV9PGl4.html . If you can, check these UTA tracks out: "Apex" ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1bGmjnkDTTI.html ) and "Legacy" ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mWuM9CkY3U8.html ) 8:11 - They also type out all the band's e-mails😏.
Great first observations as this song is literally the beginning (chapter 1 of 20) of the Immortal's adventure in the story of the album (and the next) and Brittney can in fact sing opera when she wants to. :) Please dig in to more Unleash the Archers! This video is a perfect introduction of the band but Brittney is just warming up in this one. Try Tonight We Ride next or Time Stands Still to see her let loose a bit. All Archers songs have perfectly placed drums so you can't miss there. Enjoy!
For guitar work u should chek out good old "Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames" For lvl over 9000 female voice check Floor Jansen from "Nightwish - Ghost Love Score" For lvl over 9000 male voice diversity check Will Ramos in "Lorna Shore - To the Hellfire" For lvl over 9000 partycore (mix of metal core and party music) check "Eskimo Callboy - Hypa Hypa" and "We got the Moves" ... if u haven't already ofc.
I know I'm a bit late here, but if you truly want to see how amazing a singer Britney is, check out "Lords of the Trident - Brindisi. That will show you the depth of her vocal talent, and power. As for the drummer, he is very good, but there are much better drummers out there. Check out "Meshuggah - Bleed" drum cam, or any drum play through from Evgeny Novikov (drummer from Slaughter to Prevail). He brings new meaning to speed, rhythm, and just pure talent.
Hello Bisscute! just watched your very 1st 3 video reactions and you have certainly started your career with a big bang from day 1 - Jan.1st - with Jinjer. I am enjoying what I am seeing and hearing already. With Spiritbox and Rammstein upcoming and the sure future inclusions of mega-mainstays, the immense and titanic Nightwish, I can only see a fantastic and successful year ahead.Thank You So Much. You have so many subscriptions already which shows that you are doing a good job. Saying that you were not really familiar with this genre and doesn't normally like drums, I think that after just three songs, you are already converting to the fabulous world of the very best of Rock and Metal! There are 2 new videos from Arch Enemy and the latest one from Korn. Plus, you have to entertain Eskimo Callboy, who have 3 glorious ,priceless videos too! Cheers - Take Care.
Great reaction, new sub here. Next song try Tonight We Ride. 1) Brittney used to be an opera singer. 2) Brittney does do a video with opera sorta of a spoof called "Britney Does Opera." 3) The Bass player is playing a technique called claw hammer which when played in this style sounds like hoof beats of a horse and the feeling as you are riding into battle. 4) Years of practice and good understanding of music and sound equipment. Fun fact: Brittney from Canada; played and was a star women;s rugby player./ I have another band female fronted when you are ready to have a listen.
@Bisscute: Welcome, dear girl, to the world of metal music! Here, you got to hear Unleash the Archers, who plays both power metal and speed metal. First, you mention the speed of the drums and guitarists -- this is very similar to gaming where you have to hit many buttons fast (or even the same button fast). I have to ask if you've ever played Guitar Hero or Rock Band? If you have, speed metal was brought out in Guitar Hero III, with DragonForce's track Through the Fire and Flames as the hardest track to play on the hardest difficulty. It is insanely fast. Relatedly, you mentioned the music making you feel you're about to go on a quest, and this is not far off from the truth, lol. Awakening is the beginning of a musical story that takes two full albums to tell, in the Apex and Abyss albums. The story is that of the Immortal, who gets woken up by a ritual. Though he lives forever, he is cursed to do the bidding of the one who wakes him. I highly recommend reacting, in order, to the entire Apex album first, followed by the entire Abyss album. You will not regret it, I assure you. That being said, at least two Unleash the Archers songs have been converted into old-school video game music: Apex was converted into an 8-bit track (think Legend of Zelda on the original Nintendo), and Soulbound from Abyss was converted into a 16-bit track (think the original Sega Genesis with Sonic the Hedgehog). And yes, it takes both talent and training to play metal music, as like Jedi Master Luke Skywalker says at the end of the Mandalorian Season 2: "Talent without training is nothing." As it stands, I'm unsure of what music you may listen to, but I have some recommendations for you: 1) Old-school Iron Maiden, with the live performance from 1982 of Hallowed Be Thy Name. This performance is one of the reasons why Brittney sings the way she does, as Iron Maiden's lead singer Bruce Dickinson is nicknamed the Human Air Raid Siren. 2) Nightwish -- Ghost Love Score, Wacken, 2013. This performance is a legendary metal performance, as Floor Jansen proved she is the best female vocalist alive today, worldwide. 3) Floor Jansen and Henk Poort, Phantom of the Opera, Beste Zangers, 2019. Here, Floor was finally recognized in her home country of the Netherlands, when this video became the most reacted-to and viewed video in 24 hours, when it dropped in 2019. 4) Sabaton, Christmas Truce. The band Sabaton has been around for years, but is only now beginning to be known. A power metal band from Sweden, Sabaton sings about military history. Christmas Truce is about the Christmas Truce of 1914, during World War I. 5) Night Witches, Sabaton (Animated Story Video) feat. YarnHub. This video tells the tale of the Soviet Air Force's 588th Night Bombing Regiment, an all-women bomber regiment in World War II. 6) Defense of Moscow, Sabaton. This song is about the Russian defense of Moscow, during Operation: Barbarossa in 1941. Sabaton is the history teacher you did not know you needed! 7) We Were Warriors, Wind Rose. This is another power metal band from Sweden (I could be incorrect on this). This band, however, sings about the Dwarves from Lord of the Rings! 8) Returning Race, Wind Rose. Another "Dwarf Metal" song, inspired by the works of Tolkien. 9) Nightwish concert, Wacken, 2013. This concert is the best live concert ever recorded, and contains Ghost Love Score as I mentioned above. 10) Shoemaker, Nightwish. This song is about Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, who not only discovered the Shoemaker-Levy-9 comet, but who also proved "Crater Theory" in astrophysics. Sadly, Dr. Shoemaker died in a car accident in 1997, and is the only human to be buried on the moon. I hope you continue your metal journey, and I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction!
Hi Bisscute 👋. First video I'm watching from you. I've read in the comments you're from Romania, that's cool 🙂🇷🇴. I have two Romanian colleagues, very friendly and warm people 😊. I myself am from Belgium🇧🇪. The drummer since you've been asking is Scott Buchanan, he and Brittney, the singer, are a couple. And I know you have to pause the video so RU-vid doesn't take it down, but - I'm only saying this to help you, no offense, and you do what you want on YOUR channel of course. But I recommend you to pause between two parts of the songs (between a verse and the chorus, or at the end of a solo, before a bridge, ...), Not in a middle of a note/sentence/solo. I know people can get annoyed about that and they will be less likely to stay on your channel if you happen to do that often. Just telling, as I said, it's your channel, you do what YOU want 😉. I'll check your reaction on Tonight We Ride. Maybe I'll throw some suggestions, but I guess you will get enough suggestions from other people, + that friend you mentioned 😉. Though your "cuteness" (accurate nickname choice btw 😊) makes me think of Markie Morávková, the singer of Alia Tempora. She is also on Twitch as "The Unstable Unicorn". She is from Czech Republic. I would be happy if you check out her band Alia Tempora. Maybe with the song, "Loser Like Me" 🤷🏻♂️. She has become a close friend of mine and she is the sweetest person ever 🤗🤗🤗🦄.
Being Romanian you should check out the Band Liliac their parents are from Romania Transylvania they say. Their children have formed the band Liliac they have great original music and also have done some awesome covers.🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇 Also, the drummer for Unleash The Archers is Scott Buchanan
Jeeeeez I love this voice. Pure heroic magic power spirit. It is a Valkyrie's Call to arms) Also : they are so kind people 🤗 Great reaction. Please🙏 do some reaction to the Indian street metal: Bloodywood (Ari Ari Ari. Or Jee Vereey. Or Yaad) May it be not a reaction video, just meet their music.
No no no no Test Your Metal! Test Your Metal doesn't get enough love and to be honest awakening and tonight we ride get all the attention and are over reacted to when there are songs like Test Your Metal, Northwest Passenge, General Of The Dark Army, The Matriarch, and ten thousand against one! Awakening and tonight we ride are good songs but THEY HAVE OTHER SONGS!!!!
To answer your question, some people practice for their entire lives and NEVER reach this level of ability. I've been playing guitar for about 40 years, and I can't play this quickly.
It usuallly takes around 12 years to be that good at guitar, but It can be significantly less if you're really focused and dedicate hours every day. And when it comes to technical ability, talent is BS, it may sound nice, but in reality all you need is passion and hard work.
While being at masterpiece and awesome musicianship, you should try Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) or Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios)
Hi Bisscute. Nice reactions you've done so far. If you want to enlarge your horizons further check Band-Maid - Domination (live) for serious musical talent, Babymetal - Headbanger (live) for huge cuteness, and Nemophila - Dissension (mv) for a huge Wow factor. Cheers
I'm here commenting five months after the fact, so the chances of you seeing this are slim, but ... the correct question to ask is, "How long do you have to practice until you can make it look that easy?" And the answer is, "If you haven't started by now, it may already be too late."
In your previous videos you spoke of wanting to hear alternatives to Jinjer and Tatiana. Now please don't get me wrong I'm not saying UTA is bad. They are a very good band and Brittany has got a power voice that few others can match. However UTA is in no way an alternative to Jinjer. Completely different styles. If you truely want to explore more extreme woman vocals might I point you to JF Fisher comment on your Perennial video. He laid out a list of like 6 or 7 really good choices for high quality extreme vocals. All that being said I hope you did enjoy UTA. Love the channel Biss 💕
@@BisscuteReacts Try some female fronted Symphonic Metal! Nightwish with the amazing Floor Jansen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JYjIlHWBAVo.html
It´s a mixture of Talent and Hard Work together. You might wanna check out Lovebites - Holy War live at Zep Diver City Tokyo to get a glimpse of what Extreme Talent and Precision can do live
Brittney has the voice of a rock/metal singer (like Lzzy Hale) and there is a roughness in her voice. Opera sounds more clean. Of course Brittney could sing opera better then Tatiana.
