I heard about this Canadian metal band Unleash the Archers a few months back, and then when I got obsessed with Lost Domain (again, huge thanks TAC, love them), I forgot. Then yesterday, while searching for Geoff Tate doing a solo performance of the QR song "Before the Storm," I saw a video of a woman named Brittany Slayes doing "Queen of the Reich." Her voice blew me away, and reading the description, I saw she was the singer from Unleash the Archers, which I remembered, and led me to check them out.
Really dig this band. I ordered their last two albums. I like the most current, Apex, more than the one before that (Time Stand Still). But I like them both. They have that traditional metal/power metal vibe, but at least on Apex, I heard some nice moody stuff going on too, which is what I am really digging. Specifically the songs "False Walls" and "Apex."
They have two independent records released before that, but I haven't sampled yet to see if I dig them (reading Wikipedia, I see unclean vocals are something they did a little more I am guessing in the past, and that's not my thing) yet. Anybody here a fan?
