They are a great Canadian band
"Opera singer liking growls, what happened?"
Metal. Metal happened.
Metal growler sings opera? czcams.com/video/Txb0GV9PGl4/video.html
Love watching her having fun!
The genres are so close to each other... With the compose of the Songs and the ability do art for us
@@TheTexan83 as what I said i my comment. Hopefully she reacts to this one as well :)
I’ve found that those of us who are vocalists and/or musicians just appreciate what people can do with their instruments, regardless of genre. :) I love hard rock and metal, but grew up singing classical music, show tunes, and hymns in choir, lol. People still sometimes don’t know what to do about my variety of musical tastes.
3:51 Brittney finishes first note... Elizabeth "What" - every UTA fan: waaaaiiitttt for it.....
Guilty! :-)
Yup
Yep.
You, sir, win the Comments Section...
🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹👍 -- I give you 5 Arrows out of 5 for your comment!
🔥🤘😎🤘🔥
Now I want to see this reactor react to Time Stands Still, lol.
Yup. thought the same! LOL
Today I learned the Charismatic Voice cosplays. This day is amazing.
TIL too. Costuming/cosplay is immense fun!
Indeed
A sister CZcams channel awaits "the charismatic cosplay"...
“Can you imagine playing drums in shoulder pads?!”
* laughs in GWAR
Those weren't even any sort of pauldron. They just looked like football pads
Add in wacko from raven and ya got a shoulder pad drum off
Yes! I want her to react to some
GWAR
Also *laughs in Lordi
@@MrBlakeD82 THANK YOU!!!
“Unleash the Archers” should be way more famous than they are now. So overlooked that it’s absolutely criminal.
They have a good mix of Power/Death Metal in their music. I can usually only listen to a couple Power Metal songs in a row (think Dragonforce) before I get bored. With the harsh vocals, this band keeps me focused. Which is a good thing. Basically, yes, I agree.
Yea, power metal has always been hit or miss with me. Something different with UTA, they always hit.
TRUE!!! I just don't get it.... ???
@Morbid Angel is better than Death Not all, but definitely the majority have been european. If you got something, I'm always up to hear new shit.
@Morbid Angel is better than Death have not, but I will be. Thanks.
"...reminds me, VERY STRONGLY, of opera..."
power metal is basically opera with distortion pedals
Speed-Opera :-P
Absolutely CORRECT .
*FACTS*
This is how I am going to describe Power Metal from now on; Basically Electric Speed Opera with Distortion Pedals.
Can also be karaoke with better taste
If you are starting to like Brittany’s voice, check out their cover of “Northwest Passage”. It’s a very popular Canadian folk song, and it does a great job in showcasing Brittany’s voice (both in a screaming/belting way and in a more mellow/controlled way). There are even a cappella parts that really let you listen to her!
Ha! I've found a fellow Canadian :)
@@TheCrayonMaster I'm American and I love that song!
@@TheRavenChildI'm Australian and I love that song
This band blows me away. But when a vocal coach geeks out, you know its som special. I LITERALLY listened to only them for a year!
Now we need a collab with Elizabeth and Brittney in full cosplay mode.
heck yes!!!
Damn! Stupid you tube won't let me "like" that idea more than once. 😡
17:10 took couple seconds to actually form words. GOL.
Giggle out loud...
The Cosplay in "Cleanse the Bloodlines" is awesome as well.
and its an amazing song musically/lyrically.
She must do Cleanse the Bloodlines next!!
We watched their live pandemic concert last fall. Brittney hit every fucking note, full power, for like 90 minutes. It was unbelievable.
Amazing! Some singers can't hold up to the produced music.
I love how excited she gets. She's so expressive.
Upvote for a Ronnie James Dio reaction and analysis
I second that
I second it, too! 👍
The more thumbs up this post has, the more it may happen. ;-)
I'm looking at Heaven and Hell, but Rainbow is calling my name as well.
@@TheCharismaticVoice Consider this an added vote for the song Heaven & Hell!
....Also Bible Black which is a personal favorite.
Anything from the Amsterdam live performance, for whatever my two cents is worth🙂👍🤘
I’ve read that Brittney has a choir/classical vocal background, and when the band started she made the decision to sing in a more classic 80s metal singer style, as opposed to the more common “female opera singer in a metal band” thing that is popular.
This decision has made the diversity of sounds and textures in UtA’s music so great, and made them my favourite band ever, since they have all the things I like in music.
She sings like a male power metal singer does, but she has that high range. I love it
This hits the nail on the head for why I really like them too. I've been trying to find female-led metal bands to get into and Unleash the Archers is the only one that hits it completely out of the ballpark. Other bands either sound like they just threw an opera singer into the studio (dozens of examples), instrumental complexity doesn't quite do it for my tastes (Semblant), or overall sound is too poppy (Amaranthe). This isn't hate on any of those bands, I enjoy listening to them all (Semblant comes the closest to hitting everything I'm looking for). But UtA just crushes it.
@@stephanpiotrowski1524 you just like ignoring battle beast or something?
@@V2ULTRAKill Noora is incredible too.
I offer another gentle request to react to Wintersun's song, "Sons of Winter and Stars." Not only is the song itself fantastic and a metal masterpiece, but it features very impressive vocals by the band's composer Jari Mäenpää. His vocals are even more impressive considering he's missing a quarter of one of his lungs due to a battle with tuberculosis earlier in his life. I also love his vocals because he never sings without the deep emotions that are tied to the lyrics he wrote. Jari's music is not only epic, but extremely emotional.
Please, please, _please_ react to "Sons of Winter and Stars!"
I'll say it again: listen to "Test Your Metal", vocals in that are insane.
Yes :)
I disagree: her voice is "more" incredible here.
Seconded.
@@antoniomaraspin I think the songs are both really great :)
@@antoniomaraspin Let me be clear, both songs shows her insane vocals. But Test your Metal shows her endurance and stamina in addition to the range...that song is like a devastating workout, vocally speaking.
Also voting for Elizabeth doing reactions in cosplay
Yes!!
Dear gods, YES!
We’re definitely making her react to Gloryhammer now, right?
oh yeah, she will love it, Thomas' amazing voice, the ridiculous costumes and all of the glorious chees
Unicorn Invasion of Dundee ?
@@sweepist I was thinking the self-titled song at Wacken
Feel Angus McFife should really be the first :D
@@psychobob35 What about Hootsforce?
Grant is "that guy" - great growl vocals! Got to talk to him a while before a show and also a super nice guy too. :) Amazing that Brittany can pull it off through an entire concert set (saw them twice). BTW - "blast beats" are typically faster than I think you believe them to be, and are mostly in death metal. Here's a video that demonstrates (sorry for some language in it): czcams.com/video/B4KNXi-SWWc/video.html
Yeah, when she said that I was like, "Blast beats? I didn't hear any Blast beats!"
Brittney Slayes also did a video on a channel called "Lords of the Trident" where she sings Brindisi. LEGIT Opera chops.
I would've suggested "Cleanse the Bloodlines" as the next Unleash the Archers song reaction. Amazing high register vocals that required crazy breath control.
Also the cosplay
Yes yes yes on Cleanse!!!! Easily my favorite song!
Criminally underrepresented, under appreciated, and underrated song. Absolutely love “Cleanse the Bloodlines”!
This! My favorite song of UTA
@@somePYROMANIAC Soulbound too!
Britt was in a video of Lords of the Trident singing Brindisi, as an Opera Singer you have to react that.
Yes, this, a 1000x this!
Concurred!
This^^^^ I had no idea how good she was at operatic vocals. I'm sure Elizabeth will be blown away.
holy hell what did i just listen too
like i'm speechless. god damn
Yes, came here looking for his. If not I was going to mention it. +1
Why is it that no one ever mentions Scott is actually playing gas cans? 😁
That was the first thing we noticed when we saw this in 2016! We hooked up my drum triggers to buckets and surprisingly they worked well lol my band was dying
@@NonProphet420 Awesome!
Hello lovely fans! If you're enjoying my reaction & analysis videos and learning more about music, I recommend checking out my Music Appreciation Course! This course deep dives into time signatures, tempo, pitch, dynamics, key, music production, and most of all, vocal registers! I guarantee it will make your music listening experience that much better. You can find the course on my website here: thecharismaticvoice.com/music-appreciation/
Have you listened to Amaranthe? My suggestion is The Nexus because that’s how I was introduced to them even though one of the singers from that album is no longer with the band. I think anyways. Btw, love your facial expressions. They are adorable and make me smile ( which doesn’t happen often ).
Just gonna add: either The Nexus, Hunger or Amaranthine. The first two are heavier and the last one is much slower almost a ballad.
I recommend Dark Sarah's Dance With The Dragon. Some costuming, fun song (it is part of a story), and, in my uneducated opinion, good singing.
I've been watching your reactions for almost a year.. Ever since I 'discovered' Nightwish and went down that creative rabbit hole that lead me to discover a whole wealth of simply beautiful stunning music and musical genres that at 52 years of age I've shamefully only now discovered and which in turn lead me to find young passionate charming and expertly informed young talents like yourself able to express and educate even old goons and geeks like me just how they do it and what makes them all so special. Thank you. Oh and I'm especially looking forward to this one. After the Finnish symphonic rockers this Canadian band has become a close 2nd favourite new band and this one is one of their best.. Can't wait for your analysis
Hey Michael - I am older than you, not that it is a competition..... :)
Search up Melissa Bonney see what you think. She is an up and coming talent.
She is pretty awesome.. I found her here for the first time
FEUERSCHWANZ ft. Melissa Bonny - Ding (SEEED Cover)
What a great band!
She is also the lead singer for both Rage of Light and Ad Infinitum.
It's called Heavy Metal. Welcome.
I figure that as a Canadian, he spent years in Junior hockey and can do just about anything in shoulder pads. This was filmed at the end of Burning Man. Really enjoy this song.
I think I heard somewhere that Canadians are born wearing hockey pads. 🤣
Strong burning man vibes
I was lucky enough to open for Unleash the Archers during the tour for this album. Brittney is just as insane live.
Celebrate with us in our 250K party LIVE for a chance to win free prizes! We’ll be streaming the event on CZcams THIS FRIDAY, February 26 at noon Arizona time.
You need to react to Brittney singing Brindisi!
Have a listen elize ryd from amaranthe
Her entrance, damn, almost as good as yours at that convention you went to and the guy checking out the guitars asked you to sit in, and you blew the damn roof off the place, and a hand instantly showed up to pull the mic back after you let it loose. Even better was your ooopps not used to having a microphone, sorry.
If you like all those do you play elder scrolls or wow?
Ogre & goblin. Opera. Cosplay.
She's played D&D.
How has she NOT listened to a lot of metal before this?
She was a metal fan waiting to happen :) Also, I love the Cartoonish Disney Princess just getting all giddy with very metal things like spiked shoulder pads and horned Viking horns and people just shredding the frak out of their instruments!
@@lgmhorus agreed, absolute metal joyfulness 😂
@@kirbys1370 I meant before the channel
I get confused whenever I run into someone that plays D&D and doesn’t like metal.
My only guess is that, as an opera singer, perhaps she felt that culture didn't "allow" it. However, Elizabeth may have just told herself "To heck with that" and decided to branch out on her own.
And now she is #spoiledbymetal - as it should be. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I am a stutterer and stammerer, when I begin to speak, my mind flys into circles. I can write BEAUTIFULLY. I just love watching how fluidly and intelligently you speak. Sometimes I watch just to admire your ability. You have such a gift.
I saw UTA in some dive bar in Reading PA earlier this year, and I can confirm, they sound absolutely incredible in person!
“Time Stands Still” has some awesome vocals
I’m in the same boat as everyone else here. The validation of someone else appreciating the music we like to listen to and to confirm it’s awesomeness is almost therapeutic and so uplifting. You’ve already reacted to so many of my favourites and I get to re experience listening to phenomenal songs for the very first time every new video (and share with me music new amazing music). Big fan all in all. I tried looking up a reaction for *Pearl Jam - Black* but couldn’t find one from you. Would love to see it someday. THANKS!!
For more of Brittney's lower registry check out their cover of Northwest Passage, plus the Canadians watchers will love you even more for doing it. There's also their cover of Queensryche's Queen of the Reich, specifically the karaoke vid since Brittney's doing that after a concert and still absolutely kills it. And for a "What can't she do?" experience there's her performing Brindisi on Lords of the Trident's channel.
The crazy thing is she does it live and totally nails it
This is gonna be good! Brittney Slayes is amazing, excited to hear your thoughts!
Snorrison spotted!
10/10
Also, if you love their costumes, theatricality, and soaring chorus, I recommend their music video for "Cleanse the Bloodlines"!
Not only are you very emotive in your reactions, you are a professional! And you love cosplay AND Metal?? I think I'm in love!!

If you like their costumes you should look up a finish band called lordi their costumes are just outta this work I would almost give my first born to have their designer to make me a cosplay costume they are just something else personal opinion it's what kiss wishes they looked like but instead they are a no budget pta mom made costume in comparison please take a look at them they are from finland and so amazing
Check out Brittney Slayes singing opera, it’s great
I did this and was NOT disappointed
Stoked on this!! More UTA! More Brittney!
Anyone else feel that Elizabeth is beautiful!? My lord!!
Incredibly so
She sure is!
🤮🤮🤮
I've watched a lot of your videos over the last few days, and I adore how you geek out over so many things aside from vocals. Your nerd enthusiasm is contagious. You've earned yourself a sub.
First time I heard them.....was live. They were incredible. Her vocals were spot on, and the band was super tight. I forgot all the other bands that played.....got to meet them. Good people.
How about a round of "Brindisi" with Brittney?
A great duo together with Fang Von Wrathenstein from the band "Lords of the Trident"
czcams.com/video/Txb0GV9PGl4/video.html
hell YESSSSS.
YES PLEASEEEE!!
She absolutely killed it
An absolute must watch for you to get a better idea of her training and abilities
Hell-A-Yes !!!! Perfecto !!!
This is my first time hearing them. OMG!! She’s like a combination of Bruce Dickinson and Geoff Tate!
The band itself is like a modern version of Manowar. They’re being added to my playlist.
@@kirbys1370 Wow... Brittany’s sound and some of the orchestration in that song remind me of parts of Beast and the Harlot by A7X. This group is amazing!
Got a new band to listen to
All the elements you speak off make me love this band.
I'm so glad you found it! Literally everything they come out with is phenomenal.
Bruce: I'm going to have to retire someday. Who will take up the mantle?
Brittney: Don't worry, I've got you covered....
I’ve been saying for a while now Maiden’s tour manager needs to have UTA open for Maiden.
@@CosmicKristen I 1000% agree! I've been saying that exact same thing!! Just imagine how awesome that concert would be! ...,Especially if Bruce invited Brittney to come out & sing with him on one of their Iron Maiden songs! Imagine that...
@@xy9891 yes! That would be an amazing duet. Brittney and Stu from Iced Earth were talking about a collab but idk if that’ll happen with the press surrounding them now. I would love to see Britt and Bruce though. I feel like UTA would be very well received by that crowd.
@@xy9891 oh dear, I'd love to hear her take on Hallowed be thy Name. That or Painkiller by Judas Priest.
Okay first of all, Bruce will never retire, nor will he die. this is blasphemy.
there is no second.
Did a bit of research and dug this up: “The video was filmed in the Nevada desert, using props from the Death Guild Thunderdome camp at Burning Man.”
This is awesome, I've been in that Thunderdome! :D Thanks for sharing the research.
I'm new to your channel, having found it through your reaction to the AWESOME PMJ White Stripes ... I absolutely LOVE that you have such joy for all music, no matter what kind. You tag your videos with 'Opera Singer' but your absolute JOY at every awesome note in any song you do is just so amazing and makes me giddy to just watch!! Not to mention the great insider knowledge of the technical side that tickles my brain into -- I love it!
Man I love Unleash the Archers and Mad Max. I didn’t realize this song was a homage to Mad Max.
Your reactions are incredibly pure and it gives me goosebumps lol
@@kirbys1370 awesome thank you ill keep an eye out for that 😃
YAS can't wait for this one. I feel like Elizabeth will both love Brittney's vocals and have a ball watching the vid.
Add: I'm going to go ahead and log my suggestion to check out Dreamcrusher now. Only about 16 hours early.
Gahhh!! I just love you, all your enthusiasm and willingness to branch out of your norm is so inspiring and refreshing. I know you've had other harsh/metal vocalists on your channel and a ton of reactions to different genres, I'm just so intrigued by your appreciation and breakdowns of all the content on your channel. You're a certified badass! Not to mention that your voice is mesmerizing and listening to you live gives me goosebumps every single time.. you're legit 💯
Elizabeth, I am so glad I stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago. You are such a nerd and I love you so much for it.... your channel has become my after work wind down go to. I absolutely love your reactions to the music and videos. Your breakdowns of the videos and music have already taught me a lot that I didn't know or think of... It also blows me away with your enthusiasm with the style of music I love... PLEASE keep the videos coming.... and thank you for what you do... P.S. I have your chair.... I to am a nerd and spend a lot of time gaming... excellent chair for the long grinds and dungeons.
My heart just skipped a beat.. in the best possible way. You should check Northwest passage, General of the dark army too. And ALL Apex/Abyss.. such masterpieces.
YES YES YES to Northwest Passage with Unleash the Archers. You will love it for sure 🤘😎🤘 Hugs from Sweden 🇸🇪💖
I see "Cleanse The Bloodlines" being suggested a lot in the comments, and I wholeheartedly agree. It's a real epic song with a great video, lots of technically awesome stuff and loaded with emotion and passion from all members. I hoped you'd react to "Tonight We Ride " after the first one by the band, this was a great watch. :D
Another fantastic reaction! I just wanted to say thanks for everything that you do. You've not only introduced/exposed me to quite a few artists that I never considered/heard before, but you've also given me a new appreciation for the ones that I knew already. 🤘🏾🤘🏾🖖🏾
@@kirbys1370 Cool, thanks! I'll definitely be on the lookout for those!
Love, love, love your work, dear. This video was a absolutely great moment for my day.
Got so excited when I saw this scheduled! Your reaction to "Awakening" was how I discovered UtA, so a huge thanks to you! Now I can't get enough of their content!
So glad you chose to do this! I love seeing UtA getting more exposure & recognition. These selections lately have been so awesome! \m/
I have been watching your videos for a while now, but i just wanted to say i love the positive vibes from your videos and your reactions to the songs.
“General of the Dark Army” has a great mix of her amazing cleans and the growling as well; also it’s my personal favorite song from them 😁. Plus, the music video inspired my D&D character in my groups evil campaign lol
That's the first sing I heard from them and instantly felt in love with the begining of the vocals
Best album they did for me, although her vocals are arguably her best now
Scott's car is named Panda because that's the name of his and Brittney's cat
Yup, CowPanda
That open expression really hyped me up. As a Canadian, I endorsed this *bribes Krakino with poutine* . So looking forward to this one. Britt is a powerhouse🤘#spoiledbymetal
I am scheduling an interview with Brittney either March or April. Thoughts?
@@TheCharismaticVoice 😱 on top of that, will she be a recurring character in Bards Battle? That'd be fun!
@@TheCharismaticVoice Just so you know, she is not just a metal singer. There is also a video of Brittney singing opera (duet) -- czcams.com/video/Txb0GV9PGl4/video.html
@@juliettemcgee9055 I'll ask!
Loved that #spoiledbymetal. Have a good day, Juliette!
This is the first time i had ever heard Unleash the Archers and now their album Apex has quickly become one of my favorite albums i have ever heard! The whole story in the album is just fantastic!
Elizabeth, I’m really loving your videos. I’ve never seen such an expressive person. You seem to listen to music with your whole body. And your comments really help me appreciate and hear what you are in a new way. Your passion for music is infectious. And that’s what music should do, invoke passion and emotion and enjoyment.
Scott, the drummer, is Brittney's boyfriend. Grant (guitar) does the growling death vocals.
Sorry dude it's Andrew that does the growls not Grant
@@justindriskill1523 on this track it's Brad doing the low growls, Grant doing the Smeagol-style. This was recorded years before the album came out.
@@indesignkat I didn't know that thanks for the correction. I know Andrew does the growls on Apex and Abyss (I saw him do them live a couple years ago)
They actually both do growls. Grant does the majority of them in newer material but in older songs, Braden did the deeper growls that Andrew does now.
@@indesignkat I thought it was Brayden . He did a lot of the growling before this album came out. Well him and Grant. I know they filmed this before they were signed to napalm records and they waiting awhile to release it.
Oh dear God, this is gonna be such a sweet reaction. I bet she’ll look at more Brittney Slayes after this! So good. Also, as a Canadian, this brings me literally a ton of joy. UTA is awesome!
As a fellow canadian, I agree wholeheartedly.
As an American, I completely agree!
It's always so much fun watching your reactions. I love that you pointed out how annoying costumes can be at times and doing the video with them had to be both fun and frustrating the whole time.
Would love to see you react to Metal Opera Battles #4 with Brittney. It really highlights what an amazing voice she has and looks like they had so much fun doing it.
Brittney can sing opera too! Check her out singing "Brindisi", she's so talented.
Elizabeth just seems so classy. Love her.
I have been waiting on this for soooooo long!!!!
Please take into consideration Judas Priest "Painkiller"
Please!!!
Judas Priest- Victim of Changes is more impressive vocally.
Great band/vocals/video. Great fun watching you react throughout the video! 😎 Liked & Subscribed.
Another Canadian band worth checking out is Spiritbox. Courtney has done a few live one take performances. Rule of Nines is a good one to start with. If you are willing to take on a longer video, The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound really shows her range.
Spiritbox are amazing. I love all their stuff, but Rule of Nines and Blessed Be in particular. They're from Vancouver Island, as are Unleash the Archers
Their recent 3 part virtual concert they did for Sirius XM Liquid Metal would be a good place to start as well. Each part is 2 songs, and they are of amazing sonic quality plus you get to see the entire band. The Mara Effect at Silverside is amazing too.
Also Constance and Holy Roller. Great band, btw
Constance
Constance is amazing, but it only shows part of Courtney's talent!. Similarly, I agree, Holly Roller is perhaps not where to start! Holly Roller wasn't my favourite tune, but it is growing on me, especially now they released the drum play through.
you are one of my favorite personas on the internet, such a lovely personality :D and a great great reaction ^^
I am SO happy that you've gotten back to them and SO SO SO happy that you picked this song. This was the first one I ever heard from them and I have been obsessed ever since.
The growls are ALWAYS done by Grant Truesdell. Miss Britney doesn't do growls.
If you like the costumes, cars, and overall aesthetic then you should attend "Wasteland Weekend" in Southern California. Load up an RV and go camp out. (Bring your bottlecaps)
For an event like that the real fun is putting together your outfit yourself. Just go to an Army surplus store and try to come up with a character you want to portray and think about what pieces could work for that. (Scrapyards are also good places to look for items)
Miss Britney is a belter for sure. She said if he hadn't discovered Metal then she would have gone into Opera, like yourself.
Recommendations
Unleash the Archers "Time stands still" "Test your metal" ....and you HAVE to check out the duet Britney Slayes did of "Brindisi". It is honestly the most magical thing ever. Just scroll two minutes in to check out the song without all the stories and banter.
Nightwish "I want my tears back"
The Hu "Song of women" "Yuve yuve yu"
The Rambling Sailors "Sailor's Prayer"
Laboratorium Piesni "U lisi" Stoj pa moru"
"Izgrela mi" "Kappee"
The Pirates Charles "Kyl'grath'ya" "The star spangled banner" "Rowman's row"
The Longest Johns "The Wellerman"
Exit Eden "Impossible" "Thunderstruck"
Once Human "Gravity"
Thundermother "It's just a tease"
Christmas Metal Songs "Joy to the world" and "Canon Rock" both by Orion's Reign featuring Minniva
As soon as I saw the title for this video, I couldn't help but grin knowing what you were in for. This was the song that got me into the band. And every time you stopped to react to the intro, I was just thinking: the intro isn't over yet haha THERE'S MORE
Epica - Rivers! It’s a new song and you need to hear more of Simone Simons. Her voice is so pretty.
I keep suggesting Cry for the Moon, but never get enough upvotes to be noticed. =(
Epica - Tides of Time also, but There are so many live versions... hard to chose one...
A friend of mine named RJ his cousin used to be the bassist in Unleash The Archers. They are from Victoria, but live in Vancouver now.
You are such an incredibly positive presence, your videos truly lighten up a day (and I don't even sing).
What I love about your videos is the absolute pure joy that exudes from your facial expressions.
Finally! I told you about a song that she covered in a karaoke bar, after a concert... Is amazing, you should watch it!!
Perhaps a good idea could be Abyss, Souldbound or The Wind that Shapes the Land from their latest Album Abyss.
I was waiting so long for you to get back to UTA!! Yeah...Love your channel. I don't often comment but I watch nearly every one of your reactions!
Elizabeth's excited-by-a-vocal face makes me so happy XD
Lol, I love when Elizabeth was talking about the growls at the end and calling them big video game monsters and little video game monsters, she couldn't find her words for a moment, and THAT'S a genuine compliment to UTA. I adore this woman lol. Oh yeah, I love UTA too lol
Still think you would love her and the singer from lords of the trident singing brindisi. 2 power metal singers outright slaying opera.
I love your reactions. And your knowledge on what the vocals
I love watching someone geek out over something. Watching the joy, knowledge, and passion a geek brings to their chosen geekdom always makes me happy, thank you for brightening my morning with your cosplay and musical geekery. Unleash the Archers are very, very special and they should be promoted and shared everywhere, thank you for helping with that, too.
She did an Opera duet with Lords of the Trident.... you should that one out as well.
Everybody starts with Awakening and don't get me wrong, I love that song, but Tonight We Ride showcases Brittney's vocal abilities MUCH better :)
Awakening is just a great showcase for the WHOLE band. It’s simply about the musicianship. It’s a great intro to the band as a whole and then down the Brittney rabbit hole we go.
Watching the excitement you get when you watch these videos is almost as amazing as the videos themselves. Good to watch you share the excitement. :) They're epic bands.
This is awesome, what a crisp song. Quite incredible to create so much ... space(?) for the vocals while they go to town on those instruments.
UTA is so good, they're amazing in person too, I loved her voice the moment I heard her their song awakening. This band has changed my life and I feel so validated when someone else describes how cool it is.
It sounds like Helloween on steroids and Symphony X😁👌
As a long time metal fan, I love your appreciation for the genera as an opera singer and truly enjoy watching your reactions.
It took until the 2nd video but I love that Brittney brought the words power and powerful out of you so naturally this time around. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you pause too many times. I can literally see the parts of the song you are thinking about with your near perfect recall through the expression in between sentences, and the analysis is always on point and often shows me something new to boot. I secretly know that youtube has already made a metal head out of you ;) and we need more people who can express the depth that fans can only implicitly feel or that most miss all together \m/
