I think the fascinating part of this video is that they didn't bump into another metal group filming in the woods.
They're metal bands not heathens. They go through the proper channels and rent out the area.
@@landonfolken03 lolol we know that but it's FUNNY that so many power, viking, folk, and black metal bands use the forests? So much so that they overlap? Get it?
Underrated comment. 😄
Well reading this comment made my day.
@@landonfolken03 Way to miss the joke entirely.
Her - 'He's got armour on! You'll die!'
Him - 'Yeah, but think of the XP!'
That's just... So fuckin legit. How have you not gotten way more likes? - I asked how you'd not gotten a like yet - posted it then my pos phone shows over 50 likes... Wow Google just wow
@@bogartwilley lol. Kinda crazy that that comment only had 50 likes when it was up for 7 months when you posted your reply. Now, 3 months since your post, they have 370 likes. Looks like your reply probably put this comment higher to the top of the comment list, where more people will read it, and more people will like it. Looks like you helped them get those likes that you thought they deserved so much.
😉👍👍😁
Guy: Need all that armor, doth ye? Must I face a man or an armory?
Knight: (takes off helmet) Is that man enough for thee?
Guy: I have yet to _see_ a man before me...
So good
lmfao fucking best comment
Everyone talking about the sword fight, I'm just over here like "Where are the archers?"
I thought I was the only one.
Good archers are hard to find
@John Galt who are you?
They haven't unleashed them yet.............
Right?
Dude just run, he's wearing platemail, he won't catch you.
No one can outrun death
Nah, a general has got to be at least level 5, probably 10, and as a Fighter he'd have at least 18 Con. He can outrun some commoner.
That was my thought, platemail slows you down a lot, control your distance and attack the weak spots at least, under the arm is the best spot...just saying
@@toryfox4580 It's nearly impossible to win a duel against an equal opponent (sword vs sword) when they are wearing plate and you aren't. You have to hit a tiny gap, they just have to hit... you.
@@lordcirth oh I'm not saying it's easy but if you are quick and control the distance your odds are better than fighting him head on, when I've fought medieval style I avoid heavy armors because I'm quicker than I am strong, you never take a heavily armored enemy head on you fight him from a safe distance, forcing him to lunge at you, when his blade misses and he is over extended you strike, in the armpit, along his midriff where the plates join, behind the knee where the armor is only thin leather and maybe some chain etc...that way you at least have a chance
When you have to wear a jank-ass helmet because you blew all your gold on epic bards.
You deserve more likes sire

what game?
🤣
Hilarious! You said what I was thinking, but 10x better!
3:13 Premium User in shiny armor vs Free Peasant.
Marcelo Bassalo that Knight was like "lol nub"
+Silvanus Aquila To be fair, those armors were fairly expensive. They were more a question of status than protection. This armor is pretty standard although the helm doesn't look good. Video games give them an unfair name, they look look badass but this is ia about right.
+Hugo Lalumiere Although, to call himself the General of The Dark Army, he should look more badass than that. :)
+Hugo Lalumiere "They were more a question of status than protection."
Stopped reading there.
+Hugo Lalumiere Actually by the late middle ages this was fairly common armor among men at arms. As for it being about status? no, never was about status. A successful full time soldier could afford plate armor after a few years of service. Swords were about status because only knights could wear them publicly during peace time.
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?
I always go for the XP. If I die, I just re-load.
I've had three close calls, I refuse to learn
I've died a lot no doubt about it. But you cant beat the sword of Artorias or the Red Dragons tail spike once they are max.
"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.
*calmly adds to favourites and looks up everything else they've ever done*
Right? I mean how could you not look up everything else after hearing this.
Two noobs vs Lvl 70 Death Knight.
Shovel knight has a bucket on his head.
So Shovel knight is Buckethead?!
Matthew Benson
yaaas
Mostly looks like Dark Souls cooperative with two deprivates
you meant two noobs vs lvl 70 elite tauren chieftain? 😆
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.
You're here now, and that's all that matters! Now get pumped for Abyss on Friday! Rock on, dude!
Me neither fucking love the band and Brittanys voice is insanely good
I discovered through this and Tonight We Ride, but holy hell, Cleanse the Bloodlines is so damn awesome.
This comment made me cry.
U0
I'm like 90% sure I've camped where this video was shot, beautiful spot
Did you at least bury the bodies?
Wow awesome! Where is it?
@@nimkal watching the video it reminded me of home on the British Columbia west coast. I was thinking Vancouver, Frasier River area. Then in the end credits it said "special credits to Pat from Langly" which is on the Fraiser River...so... thatw my guess.
@@phalcon23 the band comes from Vancouver so it is pretty likely
@@harryt2284 just discovered them last night... was watching some Sabaton, which took me to Nightwish, which brought me here, lol
> puts bucket on head
> is now a General of the Dark Army
LoL im ded
Brilliant!
" KFC " bucket would look better😎🎸
Not enough upvotes
oh man I laughed lol
This is like listening to the angels of heaven and the angels of hell having a sonic vocal throwdown.
love the imagination you have xD
couldnt have said it better
broken angel It is 'demons of hell'.
Chaos Bringer, technically the demons of hell used to be angels.
read Paradise Lost
Man I just discovered unleash the archers and holy crap these guys rock can’t wait to check out their albums.
Welcome to the ranks. This was my first impression of theirs as well *rips cigarette* back before the 'rona
Just saw them live last week. They are awesome.
@@TebowcaT21 saw them in Orlando a few weeks ago...crushed it! Somehow Britney sounded even better live
@@andrewbako9494 I first saw them last year opening for Dragonforce. I’d never heard of them and they were the last concert I saw until last month due to covid. When I saw they were coming back as headliner I had to go. Well worth it. She’s awesome live.
@@TebowcaT21 Also saw them on the last tour AND this tour. You are right...they CRUSH IT live!!!
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.
And getting better with the years, they have improved Soo much, I'm planning to go see them next gig but going out from Colombia is not going to be cheap at all
when you kill the local peasant's chicken in Skyrim but you're level 100.
Chicken hua chicken hua
Underrated comment
Now I just want a game based on unleashed the archers songs.
Woah! What a blast from the past. Fun making this video with you guys!
I might yell at you "MARRY ME!!" but you're dead now :'(
😍😍😍😍😍
How did you get hooked up with them to do this? Agency or friends?
And what is beer yoga?! I think i do plenty!
Truly an art! Love you guys!
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...
Let us know how it was! Welcome to the family.
@@bringbackmyspace7112 Amazing! Great album, I have been thrashing this since I heard it a month ago \../
Powerful my friend is one of the best bands
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.
Yah. So very layered and complex. He's evil but he was made evil. Because fucking life. Because pain. That's so the fucking best.
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
Song is even more amazing while reading the lyrics
thanks goggle
That's only brings peace to me and hell is going to open my eyes
Me who's been mentally singing "Don't. be. . . innocent"👀. . .🤷still works
I gif'ed Britney's hair flip at 1:43 to 1:46 and it looks like an epic metal L'Oréal commercial. xD
I commend you.
Slow clap👏🏻
The name Britney does not match her
+Cordell Canfield that's why they add "Slayers" :D
5:27 too
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.
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.
Gets me everytime!
Somewhere off-camera they got some big fan for blowing her hair dramatically.
@@SotiCoto I just figured it was the reverb from her scream, hitting her in the face like a brick wall of awesomeness. But a fan makes more sense. Lol
Almost? I JUST shed a tear at that high note, and its like the 100th time ive heard it.
1 year later and shes still sending shivers down my spine. SUCH A GOOD SONG! SUCH A GOOD VIDEO FOR A SONG! ITS SO GOOOOOOD! ...deserve........ RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
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.
TopGunPaintballer yup
Lol. Thats exactly what I just found myself doing. But it was more that I was rewinding parts here and there because I missed something while focusing on another part. Like missing the lyrics because I was engrossed with the story in the video, or vice versa.
The beauty of metal. Almost every Metallica song is between 5-10 minutes. Manowar made a song that was 29 minutes long😂
Shaggy your lord and savior yeah! I can’t remember what all it’s called. It’s got a long title. But if you go back to 2:26 she holds that note until 2:35! FOR 9 FUCKING SECONDS! SHE HAS ONE OF THE BEST VOICES IN METAL!!
Beware the General, his army comes to call on the dawn

JackAlope ! I dub thee “Sir Jackalope”
Thanks! I did get confused. I was unsure if it was "he is the night" or "he is the knight".
@@NathanTAK Thank you, your Majesty
The "feel good inside" sounds so corny at first but.... fuck... it explains everything.
I love the slow dramatic intro, then all hell breaks loose
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 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.
so glad that new generation youth seems to understand again the magic of metal.epic.
First time listener.. I like them already.. awesome
Who needs Hollywood movies when you got the archers
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
That breakdown legitimately gave me chills.
War Bastard I'm not 100% sure but probably 4:37
@@flyingrobotpig 4:37 is so fuckin heavy
Such a classy production. Was expecting Sean Bean in a leather tabard to emerge looking grizzled and distressed
So... just Sean Bean on an afternoon stroll through the woods, then?
"Mercenary."
"General."
"Do as I say... and you will be well compensated."
Man, I'm in love with this singer
Season 2 of The Mandalorian looks lit, especially with that new armor design.
Funny that you mention it. Brittney loves the show. 🤣
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.
Beautiful setting! ❤
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 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.
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.
Absolutely amazing....and never gets old 🗝️ 2🪨
The best things on youtube are found by accident.
Even with that bucket helmet, I fucking love this song. Their voices are so powerful. 🤘
Some of the best guitarists have bucket heads #facts
@@DarkFoxV yesss awesome comment. Very true statement
Also this’ll make a great shampoo and conditioner advert
Seeing these guys in a few months when they come to Australia for the first time. Can’t wait🤘
Her voice is incredible, it's not a matter of opinion.
ñnmnb.
åå
Exactly.
Wtf xD it is such a basic voice, nothing special about her voice
+Jo HI False.
+Skree Doesn't matter, she's still a phenomenal singer.
3:12 Welcome to Darksouls... noob
lol
He did not praise the sun
ikr
This...made me laugh.
PRAAAIIIISEEE THE SUUUUUUNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
It's not that insane mate. I hit that note whenever I stub my toe. 🗿
@@youngdolo8😂🍻🍻
Way to rock that Jackson Kelly! we need more of those.
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!
That's what the project hate did on their last 2 albums. All fan funded and recorded only to be digitally released. From what I understand the album did really well
I just read that Unleash The Archers signed with Napalm Records. I hope it works out for them. They deserve to be heard!
They don't have a label because they fucking blow. The guitar player needs to find a real band.
Opinions are like assholes...everybody has one!
Ugh, the actors in this video are making me cringe
the producer of this videoclip should have an oscar !!!
Her voice is Bard singing "Courage's Song" and feel invencible to the certain death!
So powerfull!
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 😊
Do they want just some dude in full plate, or some real swordmen/swodrwomen to fight? cuz we may be able to help if they happen to tour in Italy
@@aureamerio I assume pretty low budget, that's why the helm is basically a bucket.
The beginning with the guy playing in the woods is my favorite part
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!
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.
Thats sweet! They seem like super cool people.
@@stagecoachrobbery They honestly really are! During my brief but memorable experience with them, anyway!
(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!"
Lolohaha
@Necroglobule Was just about to say this
5:30 : Turn on the fans.
@Raydge{怒}Silverlight That's cuz the drummer knows he has already won.
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.
1:30 BRING FORTH THE HAIR
Seriously, right? Kinda envious.
Tiffany Gessler 💀 I'm dead
Tiffany Gessler Unleash the Hair
im dying LOL
They will surely have some tangles to deal with after that
That intro is everything ! ♥
If i miss that hairflip at 2:46 i have to rewind. Every time
Years later still my favorite music video of all time. I show everyone.
When you wander into a high level zone and there's a Draugr Death OverLord with an Ebony Sword
What a voice. And the melody.. no hunan words for this greatness. Thank you so much!!!!
The dark forest is so metal that the forest provides the band with the power for their instruments.
Amazing how they got those amps to work in the middle of the woods. Wow, nature is crazy sometimes!
They don't call it power metal for nothing
Girl: M... Martha...
The General: WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!!?!
I feel like I'm right along with them rocking out in the wilderness.lol🎉
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!
finding it hard to drink this coffee, my head cant stay still long enough to sip.
THOSE HIGH NOTES GIVE ME CHILLS
I just want to give props to the acting of this video. Blond chick totally nailed it.
I first heard this song maybe 3 years after its release and I’ve been following the band ever since. Grossly underrated musicians and theater of their performances
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!
haha "Unleash" not "Release" :P
1:18 That moment when Mom brings home some pizza.
True Story xD
one punch!!!
Goddamnit. Haahhahaha
This track may still be my favorite of theirs despite how much more complex and advanced their material has become.
Still listening to this 10 years on
I think the growls are an integral part for this song to represent the horror imposed by the armored individual
"Yup...." *cop walks forward all serious* "it's a bucket."
That clip was all I kept thinking about when seeing his helmet
Same...
The way she moves reminds me of how Dio used to move.
"Beware the general" every Drill Sargeant & junior officer to new recruits at bootcamp
That helmet , though.
+TheMissing8 lmao
looks like a fkn steel med helm from runescape haha

@@Baulx138 hey let meet
every time i hear this song, it almost brings me to tears every time. amazing..!!!!
Was in my feed and gave it a listen. Holy Hell i was blown away. Awesome sound.
Will save to favorites
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.
Everything about this band kicks ass. Musically flawless, astounding vocal performance, and she's hot to boot! Doesnt have to be scantily clad to attract my attention. Hopefully they hit the Boston area someday, I'd stand in line in a blizzard to see these guys!
Astounding vocal performance? She was as flat as her chest.
***** Yup.. I listen to all kinds of music. Gotta say still love that song too.. oh what.. did you think you were going to offend me? Make me back down? lol.. dude..Annihilator is one of my favorite bands,from underground rap to even some country (old country really) This singers voice is flat, its not a bad song.. but she really does sound flat to me. Katy Perry actually can sing, as she has proven. There are far worse examples of people who cannot sing.. nicki minaj for one.
@@Sawbonespc If you think this is flat, you're going deaf.
When someone says why do I hear boss music, I Know That this song is playing.
Every Unleash The Archers song are great.
It took a few listens, but this song really grew on me. :3
I hope to hear more from this band, as well as hope that eventually people stop comparing new music to what has come before and just enjoy it for what it is.
... lofty goals, I know.
check out their latest 2 albums, more polish, but same awesome sauce
1:48 "I'm Invincible!" .. "You're a loonie".
I am reminded of so many moments in Skyrim and ESO
General needs to teabag if it's Cyrodiil.
This is what really got me into UtA. I always come back to it. I will admit after my show got cancelled, I was devastated, and didn't listen to the group for a while. But this is my favorite band of all time, which had Rush at the top. I will always come back to you UtA. Thank you.
