Unleash The Archers - General Of The Dark Army (OFFICIAL VIDEO) 

I think the fascinating part of this video is that they didn't bump into another metal group filming in the woods.

Her - 'He's got armour on! You'll die!' Him - 'Yeah, but think of the XP!'

Everyone talking about the sword fight, I'm just over here like "Where are the archers?"

Dude just run, he's wearing platemail, he won't catch you.

When you have to wear a jank-ass helmet because you blew all your gold on epic bards.

Two noobs vs Lvl 70 Death Knight.

I see All of you blaming him for going for the exp, but think about it? How many of us hasn't gotten greedy and went for both the exp and loot, ended up dead because of it?

"The General of the Dark Army as himself". And I thought I've gotten all Easter Eggs of this song I love and have been listening to for years.

> puts bucket on head > is now a General of the Dark Army

when you kill the local peasant's chicken in Skyrim but you're level 100.

I'm like 90% sure I've camped where this video was shot, beautiful spot

I am extremely disappointed that i only heard of Unleash the Archers recently and not when they released their first album cause this music is insanely therapeutic. Can't go a day without listening to one of your songs. Please keep on making amazing music.

*calmly adds to favourites and looks up everything else they've ever done*

3:13 Premium User in shiny armor vs Free Peasant.

"Mercenary." "General." "Do as I say... and you will be well compensated."

Man I just discovered unleash the archers and holy crap these guys rock can’t wait to check out their albums.

This is like listening to the angels of heaven and the angels of hell having a sonic vocal throwdown.

I gif'ed Britney's hair flip at 1:43 to 1:46 and it looks like an epic metal L'Oréal commercial. xD

(Before 1:30) The Director: "Okay, guys, we're gonna have a contest to see who has the longest and most fabulous hair. I want you to headbang as hard as you can. And go!"

Who needs Hollywood movies when you got the archers

3:12 Welcome to Darksouls... noob

Girl: M... Martha... The General: WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!!?!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW This made me cry seriously from being so epic! The female voice is so powerful. Today I am going on an Unleash The Archers Journey...

I love how they show in this video that the Dark General was formed through pain and loss and that he let his anger become him.

1:18 That moment when Mom brings home some pizza.

Woah! What a blast from the past. Fun making this video with you guys!

Ahhh I remember being at the release party for this video (before they got signed) they put on a great show. Glad to see they are still getting love and going strong.

Damn I've never listened to old UTA.... I hate to say it but I like this better. The mix of clean & dirty vocals is so good.

so glad that new generation youth seems to understand again the magic of metal.epic.

Lyrics: Beware the General, his army comes to call on the dawn Behold the conqueror, the universe will suffer darkness Face your death with pride, he will watch it and smile And feel good inside Senseless, running is, he'll rip you apart With eyes as bright as stars, he will slaughter you all Without remorse He'll swim in the flood, sustenance is blood There's no end to the night, forfeit your life Hunger for the dark Striking for the heart, blackened from the start His evil crawls into your mind Sending shivers down your spine, he is the night Insane, his primal instinct compels him to destroy He bleeds the ominous, the power he displays is infernal As fallow death he comes, the mountainside will shake with his might Crush your soul to ash, no escaping his wrath, he's built to last Clasping at your soul, he'll swallow you whole Pain will make him soar, he's impenetrable, in time of war Terror blinding your sight, paralysed by the fight He's master of all, the Dark General Hunger for the dark Striking for the heart, blackened from the start His evil crawls into your mind Sending shivers down your spine, he is the night Stone the innocents, Know they deserve it Rejoice in carnage, Know they deserve it Mark my words, retribution will never come Hunger for the dark Striking for the heart, blackened from the start His evil crawls into your mind Sending shivers down your spine, he is the night

> puts bucket on head > am now the general of the dark army

Seeing these guys in a few months when they come to Australia for the first time. Can’t wait🤘

The best things on youtube are found by accident.

I just realized after I watched this for the 20th time that this is an 8 minute video/song. You can just get lost in it so easily.

Also this’ll make a great shampoo and conditioner advert

If i miss that hairflip at 2:46 i have to rewind. Every time

Her voice is incredible, it's not a matter of opinion.

a lot of jokes, for the helmet, for the story... but I think that song is different , starting with solo, then we got very beautiful vocal and screaming back vocals , cool breakdowns and again cute vocal . of all the avarage metal that i have listened.. this one caught my attention and is .. I love it

Seriously, does anyone almost cry over how awesome this song is. Her high note in this with the slow motion hair is magic. More please.

Had to watch this again when I heard Brittney talk about how for years they've wanted someone to dress like the General and attack them while they're playing on stage, but they couldn't make it work because the helmet would fall off 😊

It is such a blessing that this band has made it this far on their own, without the (help) of a record label. At this point, the worst thing they could do is sign a deal with a label. They have gained enough exposure on their own, with good old fashioned HARD WORK. Now with digital distribution, the labels can't do anything for you that you can't already do for yourself. Stay independent UTA!

the producer of this videoclip should have an oscar !!!

This song is so... symphonic. It's an orchestral movement. So many pieces. And you anticipate them. I'm here rocking out to every transition. Pumping fist at the end riff of every verse. Waiting for every timing. Chanting along with the shouts. Just ready for every transition. It's an experience. Just a classic rocker. Wish they'd played it on their last tour -- I don't know how it's not their eternal encore track. It so just owns everyone and everything. It just conquers. It slashes for the heart and feels good inside.

I discovered you guys at a very low point in my life, and you made things better. I will take your music with me in my next journey. Thank you.

Season 2 of The Mandalorian looks lit, especially with that new armor design.

I love finding bands like this by complete accident. It makes me very, very happy. Such a hauntingly beautiful song about a man driven insane by the murder of his lover, but still grasping to maintain his humanity as he reaps chaos and destruction.

I love the slow dramatic intro, then all hell breaks loose

Such a classy production. Was expecting Sean Bean in a leather tabard to emerge looking grizzled and distressed

Man, I'm in love with this singer

Even with that bucket helmet, I fucking love this song. Their voices are so powerful. 🤘

Lone rocker deep in the forest with no companion save his guitar, his bandmates rocking power metal and some strange, out of place character's that seem to have got lost on the way to the medieval festival... I LOVE IT!

Beautiful setting! ❤

Beware the General, his army comes to call on the dawn Behold the conqueror, the universe will suffer darkness Face your death with pride, he will watch it and smile And feel good inside Senseless, running is, he'll rip you apart With eyes as bright as stars, he will slaughter you all Without remorse He'll swim in the flood, sustenance is blood There's no end to the night, forfeit your life [CHORUS:] Hunger for the dark Striking for the heart, blackened from the start His evil crawls into your mind Sending shivers down your spine, he is the night Insane, his primal instinct compels him to destroy He bleeds the ominous, the power he displays is infernal As fallow death he comes, the mountainside will shake with his might Crush your soul to ash, no escaping his wrath, he's built to last Clasping at your soul, he'll swallow you whole Pain will make him soar, he's impenetrable, in time of war Terror blinding your sight, paralysed by the fight He's master of all, the Dark General [CHORUS] Stone the innocents, Know they deserve it Rejoice in carnage, Know they deserve it Mark my words, retribution will never come [CHORUS]

That breakdown legitimately gave me chills.

"Beware the general" every Drill Sargeant & junior officer to new recruits at bootcamp

Hahhahahaahhaaha That "knight" looks like 5years old me, creating "armors" with paper boxes. xD

When you wander into a high level zone and there's a Draugr Death OverLord with an Ebony Sword

I love this song and video. I have to say, the acting of the women with short hair is amazing for a music video. Her display of emotions is spot on.

Judging by his armor they could totally have outrun him, but no the noob wanted the XP

The way she moves reminds me of how Dio used to move.

I just keep coming back, I don't think I've completed a week since finding you guys a year or two ago, without listening to one of your songs. My favourite band hands down.

1:30 BRING FORTH THE HAIR

General of the "dark army". The dude is completely alone next to a river in the woods. More like General of two dark armies and two dark leggies.

Everyone rise for your national anthem 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇯🇲🇬🇧🇲🇽🇯🇵🇺🇦🏴‍☠️

Very refreshing to hear a female singer that can actually belt, and not rely on super high-notes they sometimes hit, or the 'damaged goods screaming' routine. Don't know how I missed you guys for so long, but I'm a fan now!

Hunger for the dark Striking for the heart, blackened from the start His evil crawls into your mind Sending shivers down your spine, he is the night

5:25 Has got to be one of the best breakdowns I've heard in a very long time. The overlay of vocals and the insane note she hits. Goosebumps every.damn.time.

I showed this to a few of my non-metalhead friends and they even liked it 🔥🔥🔥

The whole part building up to 5:23 is amazing and then my gosh what a payoff, from the time she screams "it" up until the "retribution will never come" is like the greatest fucking part man.

finding it hard to drink this coffee, my head cant stay still long enough to sip.

The dark forest is so metal that the forest provides the band with the power for their instruments.

Those two should have known that "the Black Knights always triumph!"

"Yup...." *cop walks forward all serious* "it's a bucket." That clip was all I kept thinking about when seeing his helmet

I think the growls are an integral part for this song to represent the horror imposed by the armored individual

Way to rock that Jackson Kelly! we need more of those.

First time listener.. I like them already.. awesome

this guy gets it, my first instinct when facing a man in heavy armor is always not to outrun him and to instead fight him at a disadvantage as well.

Amazing how they got those amps to work in the middle of the woods. Wow, nature is crazy sometimes!

I feel like I'm right along with them rocking out in the wilderness.lol🎉

Absolutely amazing....and never gets old 🗝️ 2🪨

so glad i took a break from watching my little pony to check this out! well worth it!

M&B Warband, me vs peasant man and woman

Her voice is Bard singing "Courage's Song" and feel invencible to the certain death! So powerfull!

My band opened for UTA a few years ago (they actually requested us specifically for an opening band, which was super cool; We were very surprised & honoured) and it was an incredible show, and a crazy-fun night in general. Very talented band and Fun to drink & party with! I still have a ticket stub from that show in my Collection.

I love Release the Archers! I stumbled across them at work while listening to random music. I now own every CD of theirs! Semblant is awesome too!

That helmet , though.

This was so deeply moving. Thank you. You demonstrated how close love and hate live next to one another and how one loses their innocence and becomes part of the dark army.

I’ve never watched a metal video on RU-vid ever, but RU-vid is like here this is something you would like.....

THOSE HIGH NOTES GIVE ME CHILLS

Years later still my favorite music video of all time. I show everyone.

Bin kein Fan vom Metall, aber hab bestimmt schon 50 mal dieses Lied angehört. Einfach genial , verschiede höhen, tiefen, leichte Pausen . Immer wieder hörbar.

I just want to give props to the acting of this video. Blond chick totally nailed it.

The beginning with the guy playing in the woods is my favorite part

I feel like they ran out of budget money for the helmet.

Sooooo much more satisfying than Arch Enemy... sooo much more

And now I have the context for a side quest in my next D&D campaign...

Love that there is a good female vocalist, it adds so much more power to the music. Metal definitely needs more women! :)

1:48 "I'm Invincible!" .. "You're a loonie".

2016: I knew this song and the band 2020: look me here again

When someone says why do I hear boss music, I Know That this song is playing.
