Hip-Hop Head's FIRST TIME Hearing UNLEASH THE ARCHERS: "Awakening" REACTION 

FINALLY HOLY SHIT ONLY TOOK 4 MONTHS THANK YOU ALEX💕💕💕

THE. MOST. UNDERRATED. BAND.

Her voice is classic heavy metal. Her voice is so incredible. She brought it that’s for damn sure. It makes me happy that women are feeling more comfortable about being in heavy metal bands cause they can bring down the fuckin house with their voices. Definitely looking forward to more reactions. Unleash the Archers is permanently on my playlist

This might be the best reaction channel I've come across. I love your personality and how you've grown to fully embrace metal and the beauty of the genre.

Hearing Unleash the Archers for the first time is a spiritual experience almost. I got to hear it live and oh man, that energy in the song just carries through their whole show. It's amazing.

And the METAL keeps on poring into your veins, you will never get it out of your blood...

This lead singers voice is awesome. Thanks for introducing me to this band.

It makes me so happy to see people discovering UTA and having such a positive reaction to them. His face when Brittney first wails out a note!! Warms my heart ❤❤❤ this band deserves to be one of the biggest ones out there!!!

This one hit me out of nowhere. I saw something about the release of the album on facebook, checked it out, and BAM. Blown away. Probably one of the most pleasant surprises I’ve experienced in the last 15 years. I really can’t say enough good things about these guys, this is a piece I would recommend to metalheads, fans of classical music, and just about evreyone inbetween.

Unleash the Archer's - Tonight We Ride! Her vocals are insane!

Welcome to the beautiful world of Powermetal, where vocalists seem immortal and guitarists have extreme calluses and carpal tunnel. My favorite genre of metal. If you loved this, you should check out Blind and Frozen by Beast in Black.

Holy shit... I live in Ottawa Canada and I've never heard of this band but once again I say thank you Alex for introducing me to another kick ass band! 🤘🏻

Ok, some facts you probably missed there. The drummer is using double strikes on each hit, which makes his drummer a lot more efficient, but harder to play. Bass player is using 2 different techniques at one time, and he s doing some sweeppicking, without at pick. Singer is using a middle tone in this video, but her ranges is brutally wide, listen close to all the high ranked notes she put on secondary voices. And the guitars are as awesome live as are in this video, son dont miss a chance to see them live.

The whole of the Apex album is actually so good. Really worth listening to it all the way through so you can hear the whole story.

The beautiful badassery of the mighty Brittaney Slayes (Hayes) on lead wails.☺

I LOOOVE Unleash The Archers! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) Your face when Brittney screamed at the beginning LOL

There are also maaaany bands that makes metal genre really funny and full of jokes. One of my faves are The Alestorm from Scotland, especially song "Drink" ;) They do folk metal... about being a pirate ! yaaaaarrrr!

Dio - Rainbow In The Dark 🤘🏻🤘🏻

You reaction matched mine in a lot of ways. This is the first time I've ever heard of these guys. WHY DAFUQ HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THEM BEFORE THIS?!?!? These guys are awesome. Thank you, Alex, for showcasing them.

Most of the music I listen to is metal, but only within a small handful of bands. I don't really branch out much normally, so thank you for helping me find this! What a great song.

Unleash the Archers - Cleanse the Bloodlines!

In your free time, listen to the whole album. You won't regret it.

Alex, I've seen this video within a week or so of when you first posted it, but didn't comment on it then, for whatever reason. I had never heard of Unleash The Archers before, and on a whim I clicked to watch you reaction (the fact that I found the band name cool was a factor as well, not gonna lie). I watch quite a few reaction channels, (I love watching people experience the music I love for the first time, it's always a joy to watch you guys fall in love with those songs as well), but I usually only watch reactions of songs I already know. This one was the exception to that rule (the only one, I think) and boy, am I glad I decided to open that exception! In a way, my experience watching reaction channels is, in my head, me showing you guys the songs I like; this was the only case where *I* was the one being shown something new to listen to, which was quite the strange (but not unwelcome) experience. UTA has since then become one of my favourite bands... but I just now realized I never thanked you for showing them to me -- so thank you, very very much! 😁 And keep on rocking on, my friend! 🤘

Wait til you hear “cleanse the bloodlines”, such a badass song!

Arch Enemy - Nemesis

EPICA - CRY FOR THE MOON

You gotta listen to their version of “Northwest Passage” it’s simply insane

Awesome vid, my first time hearing this band also, and i've heard a lot - I now have a new one to listen to - Cheers Alex!

Demon Hunter: Fading Away Disturbed: inside the fire

Actually never seen this video before... that is an interesting bass picking technique he's using there. been playing for almost 20 years and that's a new one for me.

Thank you for bringing this band to me, what an amazing song!!

Great video! I love this album start to finish.

Sons of Winter and Stars by Wintersun (at Sonic Pump Studios) Please man, this band will blow your mind !

I have absolutely no idea who requested this or how many, but thank you :D I am a huge fan of them since the early beginnings. I never thought that you would react to such a band, because they are not very "big". But channel like yours(and many other react channel) should give some of the "lesser known bands" a chance and introduce them to a wider audience. Btw, they are straight down to earth, super nice people! You should react to "General of the Dark Army" Music Video, its from their Second Album "Demons of the AstroWaste. They did their first two albums independent and shot their music videos with their own efforts. (You definitely can see that but there goes a lot of heart and soul into those). Another thing to note is, that Brittney Hayes(or better Brittney Slayes), the Vocalist absolutely sounds like this LIVE. and i am not exaggerating. Their musicianship is truly unreal. I also like to mention that the Bass Player(which joined the band relativity recent) has a very cool and unconventional style of playing, but brings a lot to the table for their sound. Greetings from Germany and keep on reacting to Bands like this

Broooo never heard of the band but it's now on my playlist. Awesome song!

This song is absolutely amazing, thank you so much for introducing me to this band Alex, and keep doing what you do bro.

Type O Negative - Black no.1 full version

Brittney Slayes voice is incredible! Hopefully they tour Australia sometime soon! :D

Damn this band SHREDS! I’m not a fan of power metal but I’m a fan of this band for sure

Alex, I love metal and you give me a new perspective on the genre every reaction video you do. I hadn’t listened to this band before I watched your reaction video and I love this song and the album it’s on. Thank you for loving a genre that most people would turn their nose up to.

Eluveitie - Inis Mona

Nightwish: the Greatest show on Earth live in Tampere Finland!!!! Masterpiece!!

I just listened to them a few months ago and found you!! Best day ever !

I just met your channel and I'm in love of your reactions, they're hilarious!!!! 💜

Alex, bro... FIRE FROM THE GODS!! Excuse me...

OMG THANK YOU! finally been asking for this band for so long now!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for researching songs before you give them a listen. Knowing what the piece is about definitely gives a more meaningful view to the experience! Subbed brother!

Absolutely love unleash the archers, so happy to see you reacting to this lmao

Bullet for my Valentine Waking the demon

You finally discovered Power Metal my friend-- you need to explore more power metal-- anthemic vocals, HUGE guitars and lots of female vocalists. Maybe start with Sabaton, Gamma Ray, Battle Beast, and Stratovarious

This just made me so happy! I love this band, glad to see you blown away by them too!!

love this band glad to see you make a video about it

Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars.

Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark

Alex! Thank you for this! I have never heard this band before now either and now... They are instantly iconic to me after ONE SONG!!!

Your reaction was priceless! This was pretty much exactly the same reaction I had to this band the first time I heard their song, "General of the Dark Army" five years ago. I love Unleash The Archers!

Nightwish-Phantom of the opera

Epica is another fantastic band with a female vocalist, I really recommend the song The Essence of Silence (oficial live), it's really awesome

I think Alex is ready for some deep Power Metal. Rhapsody of Fire - Emerald Sword Blind Guradian - Valhalla or Bright Eyes Demons & Wizards - My last sunrise or Fiddler of the Green. Powerwolf - Resurrection by Erection or We Drink Your Blood

I literally found about them last week. And 'cant get enough' as Alex says is where I'm at

Dio- Holy Diver

OOhhh unleash the archers! my favorite is "general of the dark army" ! If you like power metal , check to sabaton and powerwolf !

Thank you guys and Alex,that through this channel I heard for first time this masterpiece.!Unreal song

from all the reaction videos on youtube, no one can match your enthousiasm and sheer admiration for the artists. I always feel better when watching one of your reaction vids. Alex, you're awesome! thank you so much

Wow! This is pretty good. It sounds like Maiden with the operatic vocals and the galloping drums/bass.

YES! Finally! Love me some Canadian power-metal. Also, the singer is Brittany Slayes.

First time hearing UNLEASH THE ARCHERS for me. Sounds really good. Thanks for this videos Alex!

great review dude

One of if not my favourite Canadian metal band, and Apex is probably my favourite album from them. This was pretty much my reaction the first time I listened to the album! I LOVE that they have semi stepped away from the harsh vocals a bit and focused on the cleans for this album. still have harsh vocals in some of the songs, but its more refined and perfected.

I discovered this band few days ago and I can't stop listenning to it. and btw you have to listen to Arch Enemy

Bro, thanks and more Unleash the Archers

I love you Alex! LOL. You are so fun to watch.

You should definitely look up Eluveitie’s songs. My favorites are Rebirth, Inis Mona and Thousandfold

This is a first for me, a reaction to a band I've never heard of. Also fellow canadians... right on!

I just recommended this on one of your most recent and feel dumb that I didn’t look at it sooner. That whole album is ridiculously amazing! Love it!

Thank you Alex for introducing this great band of musicians to me. Really enjoyed this one very much.

To hell and back by sabaton or Valhalla by blind guardian live from through the looking glass. I'll be persistent

Amon Amarth - Thousand years of oppression live in Bochum , one of the best live performances ever!

Nice reaction. Great band. And props for pushin on thru changing circumstances bbbbbbbro

Since this song has come up on my Recommended I've been absolutely obsessed with their music. From album to album they are absolutely phenomenal especially with this album Awakening. Very high energy band but also very classy with it as well. Their other songs and albums are definitely worth the listen Alex.

YESSSSS AFTER RECOMMENDING THIS TO YOU AROUND 8 TIMES IT WORKED!!

Mudvayne - Death Blooms🔥

NEVERMORE! Dude! Tribute to Warrel Dane .. March 7, 1961 - December 13, 2017

Anything, but these are a great place to start: Back to School, My Own Summer (Shove It), Diamond Eyes, Rocket Skates, Knife Prty, Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away), Headup (ft.

Korn- Freak On Leash

my EXACT reaction to hearing Brittney Slayes' voice for the first time(chills)! If you haven't yet, you should also check out their sings Tonight We Ride, and Apex!

This is the first of your videos I've seen and I LOVED watching you geek out over Unleash The Archers....because I do every fucking time I listen to them. Which is a Lot. They're just as epic Live.

There's a cool video of her at a karaoke bar singing Queen of the Reich by Queensryche. Its awesome

Holy crap!!! I AM a metal head and may have found a new FAVORITE band!! Dayum!! Btw react to Powerwolf!!!!!

As a long time metal fan I thought this channel was going to be fun just to watch you react to the hits I've been rocking to for a long time but every once in a while you react to a band that for some reason I had never heard before. This was AMAZING! and having my reaction alongside you is a new experience and it was so good. This is one of those songs that after you listen to the first third it is so amazing that makes me go like "please don't fuck it up now" because you sense that potential to be truly amazing. Unleash the Archers nailed it.

Hangs my head low.. never heard this band till now... and I am Canadian, I'm on the other coast but wish I heard of them sooner... thank you again of introducing me .. the singers has the most awesome voice.
