Frontwoman Brittney Slayes says about "Faster Than Light":
"Being that this song is about racing off into the far corners of space, we thought it would be a fun idea to actually race each other in the music video to see which one of us was truly 'Faster Than Light'! Of course we had to have some fun with it though, and added a little bit of excitement into the mix. Our director mentioned an older Stephen King novel called The Long Walk as inspiration for a way to spice up the video and we all agreed it would be hilarious! Check out the plot synopsis on Wikipedia if you haven't read it already... This track has turned into a favourite of the band and we knew it had to be a single the moment the finished product was in our hands. It's fast, fun, and is going to be an absolute blast to play live!"

Metal heads know that best place to be in a race.. is behind the cute chick.
My favorite Unleash the Archers song: Theme: Escaping an intergalactic tyrant who uses ritual magic draining the blood from her sons to remain immortal, getting away from her by using gravity slingshots to exceed the speed of light in your spaceship while contemplating their own imposter syndrome as to whether they're worthy and able to defeat the tyrant. Music video: A beer run combined with Stephen King's The Long Walk
I was totally into the message from the beginning. Everyone else floundered and died for various reasons along the path of life. Then Britney got to the end and had wealth and power and notoriety, but suddenly she was gone just like the rest. I like how some of them accept their fates, but Britney is genuinely surprised when she realizes she will also die, because all the prizes and fame distracted her, made her forget that death comes to all, even the successful. I love this video.

The progression of their songwriting from their earlier stuff to Apex and Abyss is just fucking mental. Went from a band that I didn't mind but didn't love to probably my favorite metal band in the space of one album, then thoroughly reinforced by Abyss. Crazy. The solo in this btw? Absurd. The phrasing is phenomenal. Seriously, seriously talented musicians.

Totally feeling this now... the screaming vocals after the long bridge feel so powerful you think that they are just going to explode her vocal cords but Brit totallly holds it together on the brink. And then there is the Abyss track which i didn't really understand the epicness of.... Then one time I listened on shrooms and was totally feeling the themes of loneliness, hope, power, and connecting with that energy through her vocals. This music taps into some amazing mythological archetypes. Love how they intertwine through the whole album. I went to a live show in my home city, crazy good

Verse ] Once more we're flying fast as light Dark matter passing in the night Pursued by a force we can't outrun As we hurtle towards a dying sun [Pre-Chorus 1] We maneuver through the remnants of a moon On the solar winds of supernovas There is not a place to hide, the Matriarch is close behind It's plain to see she's coming for us all [Chorus] Fly till the stars collide Till we live or die Faster than ever before Fly to forget your past To move on at last Fly on and forever more Faster than light [Verse 2] Still farther and beyond we race Into the outer reach of space Through systems I will never know And yet still we have nowhere to go [Pre-Chorus 2] As the planets shatter right before my eyes There's no turning back, she's already here Stare into infinity, and know that time is short for me I can't deny she's coming for us all [Chorus] Fly till the stars collide Till we live or die Faster than ever before Fly to forget your past To move on at last Fly on and forever more Faster than light [Bridge] Why do I not turn and fight And see if I somehow might set myself free? Why do I feel so alive As if suddenly I somehow find I'm where I should be? Finally, I feel I can face up to all that I've done and become something more, more [Chorus] Fly till the stars collide Till I live or die Faster than ever before Fly to forgive my past To move on at last Fly on and forever more Fly till the stars collide Till I live or die Faster than ever before Fly to forgive my past To move on at last Fly on and forever more Faster than light

This band is so incredibly amazing. Blows my mind I had never heard of them until a few months ago. Big plus on being fellow Canadians
As a former Cross country and track and field runner i can 100% confirm this is how races would play out.
That middle breakdown is so good and heavy.
Brittney sounds so much like one of my favourite bands Heart. Very Ann and Nancy Wilson type voice.
Think this might be one of my favourite UTA songs. The whole album is phenomenal. I'm so, so happy I discovered them by chance!.
Oh, Canada, I appreciate how hard you worked to shoot this video in your three weeks of summer
wow! what a great video! a great analogy for the race that is our lives! I LOVE IT! you've been my favorite band every since I heard Awakening 2 years ago. you guys are absolutely incredible!
Best song on Abyss. I had such a huge grin on my face when I first listened to it. \m/
12 minutes is the earliest I've ever been on a UTA song and I'm loving it!!!
I fu*king love this band and this video!
The album, Abyss is amazing. I listen to it front-to-back very often. So much variety and craft among the tracks. No one else has their mix of power metal, synthwave, story, screams, vocals… amazing. Can’t wait for part 3 of the Immortal saga.
They are unbelieveably talented! Brittany's vocals are so powerful, I get chills everytime she hits those high notes. First song I ever heard from them was Cleanse The Bloodlines, I was so overcome with emotion I cried. Forever a fan!
Abyss is a really, really good album. Possibly my favorite in 2020.
These guys power the whole song at full throttle, incredibly powerful, super fast and intense. Performing the passages and transitions like they do makes me speechless every time I hear it !
This is my favorite album to listen to while running right now and they made a video with the band running. I love it.
this album could possibly be the single shinning light of 2020...this could save the year for me. The anthem to bring in a new mindset!!
