Ignea is a great band with more potential! They're from Ukraine and doing everything themselves. Seen them twice and I am actually wearing their shirt as I watch you guys 😁😎 #Insomnium : The River - lyrical video, or Lay of the Autumn - lyrical video (or both ☝️). Because you need good Melo-death 👍
Alexandria is another great song by them. And there's a great Q&A on their channel. The lead singer, Helle, has a fantastically dry sense of humour. They will hopefully be as big as Jinjer are getting. They're both putting Ukraine on the rock map.
Yesss. When tou think is over, they comes with a new textures, new punch, new melodies. The best part of this video is showing your expressions, Kel and Rich. Amazing vibe!!!!
I just realized how many Slavic metal bands use keys in their setup, way more then American bands. Personally I prefer Şeytanu Akbar over Alga but it lacks the orchestra. #IGNEA Şeytanu Akbar, Amsterdam. As for the more eastern/international vibe. You gotta realized Ukraine is right between Europe and Asia. The name even means 'borderland'. It's history is mostly a string of foreign powers occupying their fertile lands. I'm happy to see you explore more international metal bands, the more exotic influences.
There isn't anything between Europe and Asia as they are connected. The Ukraine is part of Europe but definitely the eastern part of Europe. People sometimes forget that Europe isn't the same as the EU.
Hey KnR! Another band for folk metal: An Indian band called Bloodywood. I mention this because their song Vee Jeerey is about not giving up and committing suicide -- basically, because too many people have issues with mental health. And with Vee Jeerey, Bloodywood paid for, out of pocket, for 60 appointments to help people -- which was bloody awesome, IMHO! Give them a listen, I think they'll surprise you!
Strange that nobody said something about the lyrics! This song was written by Ignea after Russia invaded Crimea which is an Ukranian peninsula in 2014. The 2-headed monster refers to (the coat of arms of) Russia.
Glad that you are doing so well, Kel, after your horrible ordeal! And, thanks for the great review! This is one of my favorite songs, a perfect blending of symphonic and metal IMHO, with excellent content which I understand is a protest about the Russian annexation of Crimea (correct me if I am wrong here). She has a beautiful voice! I love the classic, simple metal guitar riffs throughout. I also love it when she sings, "Put your two-headed eagle in your a*se and run!", descending into a growl on the word "run." Brilliant! The only thing which disrupts this otherwise perfect song is the insertion of that weird, stray keyboard note at time index 6:30 in your video (time index 4:26 in the original video).
Very nice. So I know a lot of people who dislike female vocalist for metal. I am glad that you guys appreciate them. #Straightlinestitch Remission. Who says you can't headband with a weave ;)
Thank you both & Wayne for this reaction to one of my favorite oriental metal bands from Ukraine. I like them much more than Jinjer (also from Ukraine), although their lead vocalist Helle Bogdanova has a similar style of mixing harsh and clean vocals, but not in this song that was the first time a metal band from Ukraine used a philharmonic orchestra in their song. If you liked this & Jinjer, you could also react to e.g. "IGNEA - Şeytanu Akbar (Official Music Video | BUMA 2017), which is a song against Islamic terrorists. This is one verse of that song: "My children vanished below the sign of faith. Your mark of Allah is carved upon their graves. You hide in peace but disappear in grief. I’m bringing death to you, I shout Şeytanu Akbar!".
Before I ran into Unleash The Archers - Awakening, this band caught me. Once I did discover Uta, I had forgotten them. I do like them but Uta practically ruined the awe I had toward Ignea.
Guys, you're amazing. I always enjoy your reactions. I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina and recomend #JudasPriest Ram it Down. Ram it down is a dynamite song, you're gonna love it

Love it when metal bands use a symphonic orchestra in the background. ✌

My first time hearing this, and I'm glad I did. Thanks Wayne for the cool suggestion!
Epica- cry for the moon 👌
We love our Symphonic Metal....
Every song by IGNEA is excellent! Check out their other music, there are so many good songs!

Nice to know I'm not their only fan on here.
You ain't......I love them too, and chat with Helle now and again.
@@stevebroughton4787 Oh I had a feeling. I suspect the only people who haven't heard of them are those who don't want or are anti-metal.
For sure....can't wait for the new album in April :)
Great song, great video. More Ignea please (I know you posted this two years ago).
Cool... I can see the flame .... wow
So amazing you guys took time of listening to this by Ignea as there one of may most loved bands. Awesome reaction & stay cool! 🤙⚡⚡⚡

#ignea Please react to IGNEA - Şeytanu Akbar
Thanks for react!
Ignea kicks ass!
Very nice. So I know a lot of people who dislike female vocalist for metal. I am glad that you guys appreciate them.
#Straightlinestitch Remission. Who says you can't headband with a weave ;)
Well, I love them!!! Metal female vocalists are pure "badassness"!!!
Good question Kel. One I cannot answer for you. I thought it was an original, but then I don't know everything.

Helle is fantastic, and very funny. I hope I end up loving Ignea as much as Jinjer.
I want that meme.
Before I ran into Unleash The Archers - Awakening, this band caught me. Once I did discover Uta, I had forgotten them. I do like them but Uta practically ruined the awe I had toward Ignea.
There's room for both.
cool video
listen to New one Queen Dies. Great song
HEY GUYS PLEASE REACT TO BAND MAID-SECRET MY LIPS (OFFICIAL STAGE(concert) VERSION)
Rich - the propensity for overlong keyboard solos is called Wakeman's Disease, after Rick Wakeman. 😅
Quite liked that. There was a bit where it got heavy, was really wanting a little more of that, but all in all a really good song.
РІР стояла в правильном углу, не загораживала достоинства Кел.
Guys, you're amazing. I always enjoy your reactions.
I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina and recomend #JudasPriest Ram it Down.
Ram it down is a dynamite song, you're gonna love it
Sounds like Epica.
I like me some Ignea

ehh, I liked the orchestra but the band didn't do anything for me and the singer is too mellow, not enough range.
She has range. Try "Alexandria" on their channel.
