- This video has been made for #BlackLivesMatter. We know a cover song won't change the world but we wanted to show our support in the most meaningful way we can with the platform that we have through the medium that we know and love - music.
This song was written in a different time about a different struggle, but it’s focus on the deaths of innocent people and an oppression that has endured for far too long is heart-breakingly relevant today.
We have made a donation to Black Lives Matter Vancouver. If you enjoy this cover we encourage you to support the Black Lives Matter movement in your community as well. We have provided several links below but there are many ways you can help. #BLM

Brittney Slayes - both a name and a completely accurate sentence.
@Tom Watts Agreed. When I first heard Unleash The Archers and the amazing Brittney Slayes, my first thought was: "Why yes, she does. She definitely does." Truer words have never been spoken than "Brittney Slayes".
It's on purpose. Her actual name is Hayes :)
Using 'Slayes' fits so perfectly though
She needs to be in jail
@@mofo6907 for? being awesome is not a crime as far as i know.
@@BlitzPlatzLaus She needs to be in jail for all that fire she keeps making. ;)
Dolores O'Riordan is proud of this wherever she is. RIP.
I still miss her.
I would think she's in the ground. Right? Unless she was given a Viking burial for whatever reason. This is an amazing cover. Better than the dude version imo
@@jaykay3320 in the ground?:)) you clearly didn't understand what he said;) you think life ends on this earth? the soul is immortal buddy
@@Spectru91 According to you... buddy..
@@iommi88 🤣🤣🤣
She could sing the phone book and i would still watch her
the what?
@@laurensa.1803 Its a book that had every phone number and name in your area back when ppl had land lines and cell phones werent peoples main phone number..
I'd love to hear her cover Yakko Warner's "Infinity" in it's entirety
@@blkpyroranger5896 Found the Gen Z LOL! Damn I remember pranking people in the White pages Lol!
@@darkblaze176 thinking about it now it was kinda weird that everyone name/# and address was jus in some book lol it was endless fun tho a dictionary worth of random ppl phone # lol
I get the feeling even she knows how important this song is.
she let the whole song play even when her part was done.
So much respect.
Right!!
did my own research. czcams.com/video/2q01Q7eahiQ/video.html puts some explanation
Maybe the ORIGINAL meaning, not what she's doing here
To paraphrase Jack Black, you didn't just blow my mind, you blew my soul.
Tenaaaaaciouslyyyyyyyy.
That... that's from Brütal Legend, right?
@@Alaskar8998 yeah, buddy
Unleash The Archers has become my favorite band of this decade! Here's hoping you guys make it to the southern US sometime soon!
Yes and yes!
Decade?
You can ask me every day of the week why they are my favorites, and I will give you different answers every day.
This band has so many layers.
I still wonder why the archers were unleashed to begin with. This band is amazing
You know this decade just started, right? Either way I agree, great band!
Agreed dude on all of it
I dont think I ever heard this tone of voice from her before. She sounds so angelic!
Everytime I think she can't impress me anymore, she proves me wrong! SMH...
Absolutely beautiful...
She's singing slightly differently on the new album and those covers they releases over the spring and summer. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I like it.
@@kmdcompelelct well there isn't as much processing on her voice in this track compared to their older songs
She also nails the yodels here.. which we never hear her do with UTA
She is always able to give me the chills when she sings. She has a such a powerful voice, and its perfect. I love this band so much
As if I didn't already have huge respect for Brittney.
And then she brings BLM into this... sigh. Another one bites the dust.
@Adam Eves
Yeah I really don't like having to hear about Politics all the time and Riots and whatever else it's really annoying and stupid. But the cover is great. By the way before BLM supporters throw a bitch fit at me I'd be annoyed if they made the song for the other side too I don't want to hear about boring Politics.
Adam Eves the song isn’t about BLM
@@adameves5970 Oh boohoo
@@War624 #BustedWannabeThug Lives Matter!! 🤡🤯🤣
Awesome!!! And the new album only a few days away as well. What a great week to be a Unleash the Archers fan.
Loved Dolores, rest in peace. Loving Britney.
She has a very good ear to sound true to the original. Very good rendition that’s solid.
Not to mention her voice can hit some incredible notes. Very unique band with an oldschool metal sound.
She definitely does a great job. She really nails the yodel like ohs and ending to some of the phrases. The only thing I wish she did (which I haven't really heard her do in the songs of theirs i've listened to) is add vocal fry/ distortion to the zom in zombie. She has a very clean opera voice which works great in power metal
Mrs. Slayes is the best female rock voice ever. What a range, power and also sweetness!!!
#confirmo x2
Adrienne Cowan is up there
DownWithTheZeitgeist Adrienne is definitely one of the most technical for sure!!
I adore her but what about Noora Louhimo and Minniva???
What about Vicky psarakis from the Agonist
When exceptional singer and exceptional song meet...
I love the original, but Brittney's take on it is soooo strong and emotional! Love it!
I could watch her cover any song. Best female vocalist ever. Not to mention she seems super down to earth and tons of fun to hang out with
#Zombie by the #Cranberries might be one of the most powerful songs of all time. I remember it hitting me 1995. please keep doing covers to keep it alive. RIP Dolores O'Riordan.
My fav. Singer doing a cover of my fav. Song.... must be my lucky day.
Fantastic work.
She's feeling it, I can hear it.
You can see it too. Intensity in her eyes.
This song is often covered and the feeling of the original is really hard to match. Having lived through the troubles really helped. This comes amazingly close. It's a stunning performance
You can see it in her face. She looks like she wants to cry. This song obviously means something to her
Godly voice! I was curious to see how she would adapt to the vocal style of this song and it did not disappoint. Her range and versatility makes her one of the best vocalists in music today.
Not surprised in the slightest that Britt knocked the everloving piss out of this song! Badass!
I think this song has been covered a million times by a million different people. Unsurprisingly, yours is the best I’ve heard! There’s a reason why you’re my favourite ❤️
I don't get y tho this version like many are literally a copy paste of the original yet ppl like Leo actually tried to make the song there own but still giving credit.
I don't understand ppl that want to hear the same song done the exact same way by other artist what's the point you may aswell just listen to the original song 🤣🤦🏻♂️
@@briarios666 I love Leo's version....That guy is fantastic...
I'm partial to Bad Wolves' version... the story that goes with that one is pretty crazy too.
This version was well done plus dedicated to BLM. Her voice sounds good even though it's basically clean (no vocal processors). "Zombie" as a cover is o.k.- there are plenty of other great Cranberries songs to choose.
@@eguitarplayer6689 This version was dedicated to Black Lives Matter?
Being Irish this gave me goosebumps. Dolores is looking down on this smiling wide. You've done Ireland proud. Kudos to you Brittney Slayes 👏👏👏
Ever since I recently discovered this band she has been my new favourite female vocalist. I loved The Cranberries and this song so much and only Britney does it such justice. Rock on, girl! 🤘🏻
Delores would have been proud!! What a beautiful tribute to an amazing band, and amazing song, by another amazing band, and another amazing singer!!! GJ UTA and Britney!!
Very great cover. I love Brittney´s voice. She is one of the best singers in the rock and metal scene. Excellent work. I love it :-).
My favourite vocalist performing one of my favourite songs. What an absolute treat.
It makes me sad and happy at the same time. Such a great cover... And Brittney is the right one to have the honour to make a great song even greater. You can instantly feel the tribute she pays to Dolores while listening to it.
It doesn’t matter who makes a cover of this song, it makes me tear up every time.
I can’t go a single day without listening to Unleash The Archers !! Such an amazing band and such an amazing cover of Zombie as someone from Ireland it means a lot to hear it covered by one of my favourite bands !!
It's unbelievable!! Dolores would like it... Brittney, you're beauty.. greetings from Ukrainian fans!!
She not just sing the song...she lives the song..Power and smoothness...i really love that...amazing voice and amazing eyes!!
As an Irish man this brings a tear to my eye ...love the cover love your voice this was fucking amazing there’s a set of proud eyes looking down at you all with peace and happiness it there eyes right now and I agree with her this was a beautiful cover keep it up 👍
good to see you honor the Cranberries by singing this intact
For me, personally, there is nothing like the original. The intensity of Dolores was just insane. Hope she rests in peace. But boy do those lyrics CRY for a metal version. VERY good cover. I do love it. Thanks a lot. Oh those memories.
I agree with that.
I can't find the words. What i feel is too strong. This wonderful woman and singer pierces my soul. Uleash the archers is my favorite combo. and Brittney is the source of my dreams. Thank you... Brittney.
I never get tired of hearing this covered. Being from Warrington it will forever be part of my history and heart.
I wonder why UTA changed the lyric from "they are dying" to "they are crying".
*delete above comment.
Where to begin
The control and the power of her vocals
The brilliant backing
Can safely say that Dolores would be proud of this
Mouth is absolutely on the floor!!!! Speechless!!!! Wow!!! I’ll get back to ya.
First time I have ever heard a good Zombie cover! Great job Brittney!
Amazing...not like i expected anything different from slayers. Best female rock singer right now.
Watching during the heatwave in Vancouver, I can see Brittney can't sleep either 😂
just as heartwrenching as the original. excellent job.
Britney Slayes,everytime she sings!!! I think the late Delores would've been proud of this cover!
I came of age when this song was current. It brings back the memories. Brittney's cover is stirring.
Getting chills, down my spine
And GooseBumps on the Arms
This was an... *incredible Cover!*
Feels like something you’ve had in your back pocket for a long time. Really great stuff here, excellent cover.
I went to another window in my browser and let this play in the background. Legit forgot I was listening to a cover for a minute. Amazing talent.
I must say,as a big fan of both uta and cranberries. This is by far, the best cover ive heard.
Prefect rendition . I literally had to hold back tears . I loved Dolores's style and voice so much and to hear your cover was amazing. Thank you
Cried like a little baby while listening to this. And let me explain my story to you why this is. (Backstory, my mom was an alcoholic and punched me both physically and mentally everyday.)
0:46 My had hang low everyday as i went to school (14 years old) knowing i had to do everything for my mom for her to even survive, like cooking food and cleaning and stuff after school.
0:58 I was scared to talk with my teachers or anyone/anything about my mom hurting me in all kinds of ways (punching/stabbing with knife)
1:08 "but you see, its not me, its not my, family".. I tried to lie to myself that its not my mother, its a stranger that is hurting me. Its the alcohol that is controling her and not a part of my family.
1:14 "in your head, in your head, they are fighting".. My mom was a wonderful person without the alcohol and terrible with it. And in her head as she was drinking, they where fighting with her sobor self and alcoholic self and the acoholic side always won.
1:32 "In your head, in your head, zombie, zombie" She became a zombie, she lost her job, her family, her husband, everything to alcohol, and rather become a zombie then take care of it. I left her the same moment we became homeless and rather take care of myself homeless than with her, blaming me that it was my fault.
Im 29 this day and im pretty well (but has a lot of depression from my childhood as you can understand). I thank you all that read this little short story about me and wish you all the well!!
P.S You are amazing Britttney and all the band members!!!!! (havent learned everyones names yet :D)
Rext0r - you’re amazing, so sorry for your struggles. I’m agnostic so I won’t pray for you, but I’m thinking of you and wish you well. Keep fighting!!
keep strong, i hope the life can give you everything you deserve of good from now on.
Hang tough girl
I'm proud of you man keep it up and don't let it get to you I've been abused and bullied all my life I've only just recently learned to look in front of me instead of the ground I'm Agnostic so I never once prayed or anything took drugs and alcohol just to numb everything have been clean and sober for five years but my trust in humanity won't ever be the same but I am trying to be the best me I can be and I'm even by little day by day regaining that little bit I have lost
My father was an alcoholic. One day he came with an ax towards me. I don't know if he would've hit me or not, but it doesn't matter. I punched him and cut his lip. From that day on he never put his hands on me. He was a gentle soul when not drunk, but a dark brute when he drank, which happened more and more as he aged. He died 10 years go, not even 60 years old. I still cried at his funeral. I'm sure he left me with some demons, but thankfully, at least I know how not to be a miserable father to my child. Stay strong! (amazingly, as a couple of posters above me, I don't give two shits on religion... :D)
Just finding this lady and her group yesterday... i like them so far.. she does very well in this cover.. will be listening to more of her group in the coming days...
honestly one of the greatest metal covers of all time, those vocals are fng perfect
Dolores and her message live forever, reborn every time someone does a cover of her. Thank you, honey, for the wonderful job you did singing this, and give the boys a hug from all of us for the mellow-yet-excellent cover of the song, as well.
Unleash The Archers: talent AND soul, in the same gift box! ❤
So good singing 😊👍
Her voice cuts through my ears like a straight razor and butter... Clean cut.
She definitely slayed this cover!!!
(crickets chirping)
1am and Mrs Slayes just posted, so worth not sleeping 🤘
It's 1:30am and I just screamed at the notification. Nice.
My normal mundane night shift at work just got a little bit brighter! Much love and respect for this band!
One of the finest Voices in modern Music . Ancient Metal Guy
All I can say is, God gave her a unbelievable voice..she nailed it ..I love her voice..n her eyes..🤗
4:23 here in Argentina I see Unleash the archers I click. What an amazing cover 🖤🎶🤘

So.many fenominal female rock singers these days but this one alway gives me chills. Her voice is reminiscent of 80s rock with next level range and effortless swings in styles. You can hear how hard she works.
When a cover is just right and you need to listen to Delores again.
I've have seen alot of covers of this song and I have to say this is my favourite so far
Amazing cover, this song never gets old.
I started listening to you guys recently, and wow, amazing songs, all of you are super talented. Brittney's vocal is amazing, so powerful and so sweet.
Great song from a great woman with a great voice ( may she rest in peace ), presentet by another great woman with a great voice.
I've been on a Zombie kick, watching a bunch of covers of this song, and I gotta say, Brittney's version is still my favorite.
My God.. goosebumps all over the body
I was seriously concerned about this.not an easy song to pull off no matter who you are.this however is phenominal!
Every time this woman opens her mouth I'm blown away!! Wow!!!!
As of February 16, this has 358 dislikes. Since I cannot imagine that anybody would dislike the musical quality of this song, I'm going to assume that 358 people didn't like that UTA made this video for BLM. If that's true, it's pretty infuriating.
Your singing always gives me goosebumps but this cover hit different... Dolores would be proud
She is in the first line withe Floor , Annecke, Tarja respect ✊
Listening to this song is probably one of the most painful things in my life due to its history to me, but hearing Brittney Slayes sing it was something i couldn't miss out on. Thank you...
Why am I just now finding this!? You knocked the cover out of the water Brittney.
Parabenizo o seu trabalho Britney e da sua banda!Vcs resgataram a sonoridade do Metal!
Perfect!
Holy hell. This song is way more technically simple than what Unleash The Archers does on a daily basis. But the look of determination and respect on Brittney's face as the intro players... just incredible. "I will not fuck this up. I will do this right and pay respect and make a statement of this." Just incredible. The effort and respect shown speak volumes.
Beatyful 🙏
Excellent cover! UTA is quickly becoming my favorite all-time metal band!
Me: Slayes is great, but this is such a nuanced song. Can she really do it justice?
Me listening: Perfection
This song always makes me feel emotional and this version was so good. RIP Delores
Awesome cover !!! I could listen to this on repeat all day long🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Few people can cover this song, fewer can cover this song well!
1 AM and this apears👀🤘 alrighty!
Brittney Slayes nailed this cover she such an incredible voice and I definitely can’t wait for next album.
Love the original.........Love the cover.......win/win.
The more i hear her, the more i like her.
And those eyes. ❤
Brilliant song 🎵 Brittany slayes you are magnificent at singing wow that is a great song to sing 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💀💀💀
Amazing. Great job
And that right there is one of the greatest voices in modern metal. Brittney does indeed SLAY. :) \m/ cheers and love to UTA!
👀 que mulher mais fodona !!!!!! Cara a muito tempo não sentia um arrepio ouvindo alguém cantar !!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Amazing job on this cover. You're truly an artist. Much love.
Holy shit....... Just amazing. Keep it up Brittany! RIP Dolores.
When it’s clear to everyone that you’re doing exactly what you were put on this earth to do. Absolutely amazing!
You are the ONLY band that has the chops to cover this. Dolores had such an amazing voice there’s no one else who could do it justice. Thank you!! Keep doing what you’re doing.
ahem
Bad Wolves
The only The Cranberries - Zombie cover that is allowed to exist. There are no others.
Now go forth, and cleanse CZcams of every Zombie cover because you deem them to be unworthy! All hail GiriGiri Ninja! The Lord of the Weebs! And King of edgy, pretentious d bags!
False.

@@girigirininja9798 jeez mate, cant take a joke? I was just poking fun of your extremely cringe comment. Laugh a little kid :D
@@alexjones1439 i am laughing :D
Her amazing vocal range is what hooked me to Unleash the Archers, General of the dark army and cleanse the bloodline are the two songs I first heard a few months back while browsing youtube. This song is one of my favorite older rock songs and I think she slayed it.
Bravo. Brittney is my favorite metal vocalist of the generation.
