UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Green & Glass (Official Video) | Napalm Records
Музыка
New Album, Phantoma, Out May 10, 2024.
Order here: lnk.to/UTA-Phantoma
Directed by Danny Gayfer and Adam Junio at RuneGate Studio.
Created in Unreal Engine 5 and animated in Stable Diffusion with AI models trained on the licensed artwork of a single artist.
Starring Brittney Slayes, Scott Buchanan, Grant Truesdell, Andrew Kingsley, Nick Miller, Danny Gayfer and Adam Junio.
Supported by Creative BC and the Province of British Columbia.
UNLEASH THE ARCHERS says about "Green & Glass":
"We struggled for a while to decide which song would lead the way for this record, and in the end chose 'Green & Glass' because it is the song that inspired the cover artwork, but also because it doesn't give too much away about the concept behind the album. We wanted nothing more than to be able to create a fully cinematic retelling of the story through our music videos, and were so stoked when the boys at RuneGate Studio expressed an interest in learning how to use Stable Diffusion to make our dreams come true! They trained the model on the work of Bo Bradshaw, which gives it a beautifully unique animation style; we got to bring his magnificent t-shirt artwork to life!"

I honestly cant get enough of the one part early in the song, talking about how beautiful it was before the earth changed, and the music starts to get heaviee, and during the line "they ruined..." But stops short before finishing the sentence and it goes back to being "mesmerized in a dream". Love how they did that
HER VOICE IS SO DAMN GOOD!!

Found UTA about 4 years ago. Brittany has an amazing voice and does to metal what needs to be done, but it doesn't stop there. The whole ensemble is just amazing. I appreciate alot of metal, but few metal bands make me feel like I'm flying. UTA is up there with Iron Maiden for me.

Brittney voice is getting better and better!
I love UTA!. They have done so many beautiful songs like "Northwest Passage" and "Awakening" just to mention a few. And now they did it again! "Green and glass" is amazing! Brittney's voice is like always clear as ice and smooth as silk and yet strong as steel. And that put together with those incredible musicians cannot possibly go wrong!
very nice! I can't wait to hear it within the context of the rest of the album. some of the melodic choices that Brittany has made on the vocal track are especially gorgeous...

Lol Kingsley as a cartoon is exactly what I needed this evening. From your first band(can’t remember the name but definitely not Horde of Anachron) to November Witch to Uta. You’re a beauty bud.
So awesome that you licensed the art work instead of stealing from other artists. Mad respect.
Awesome new song!!! UTA and Brittney never fails!!! 👊👍🤘🔥 See you next summer in Laukaa!!! 😍👍🤘🔥
I am so pumped for the rest of the album. What a nice surprise waking up to a new UTA video drop. Love the aesthetics of the video. The song is great, too. I'm hopeful for some heavier songs like we've had in the past. Really miss the brutal stuff. Keep it up guys, love your music.
For everyone saying this isn't as good/powerful as Abyss, have you heard Through Stars? Carry The Flame? Afterlife? I feel like Green And Glass is like one of those songs from Abyss. Wait until the FULL RELEASE to cast your judgement.

I agree composition wise this song is very good. My biggest gripe is the mix tho. The guitars and music in general seem a little bit too far back in the mix compared to Brittneys vocals. It's Power Metal I want to be punched in the face with the sound but these are just my initial thoughts. Other than that it's a solid song and I'm glad they're finally putting out new stuff again.

This video is sick af and song is another banger!
I got the collector's edition of the album with the storybook and it makes this video and the album so much better. They could literally have done an entire trilogy of albums to try and cram all the stuff in there. Phantoma and Mach gaining sentience and bodies to seek out the Collective, Quora's insanity, Phantoma raising a small army of droids... the final confrontation between Phantoma and Quora is also pretty satisfying. The story itself is written with the quality of fan-fiction, but the ideas behind it are really solid and I hope UtA explores this theme more.
Everything you guys put together is top notch.
So many Heavy Metal vibes in this Im craving a "Heavy Metal 3000" movie! Brittney as the new "Julie"? UTA is canadian so it's only fitting that this actually happens!
Ever since i discovered this band a year ago, I find out this song came out recently. is it wrong that ive listened this song about 15 times alrdy? i cant wait for the album in May and then see them /w powerwolf in August in LA. U ROCK UTA!!!!
amazing song, the melodies are amazing. 10/10
thats very greatest masterpiece unleash the archers phantoma album. I love unleash the archers. thanks unleash the archers the true power metal.
Another epic battle is coming guys, another battle... I love you UTA!
dear unleash the archers. i am so happy you guys are still making music. keep em coming, we'll keeping supporting!
so excited. i had no idea this was coming but now i can't wait. this is kinda corny but...... i might... have a ... FAVORITE BAND
Love this band! Keep going UTA!!!!😎🎯🎶🎶🎶
Knowing UTA theres a story here, and this one song is just part of it. It will be cool to see just how much harder it hits as part of the full album.
Listen to her voice. Good god
I weep at this band's brilliance.
Epic AF! Such a cool vision and inspiring fusion of media and the birth of this new digital evolution!
I feel like I've been waiting forever for the new album! Can't wait!!

Love it, can't wait. Pre-ordered.
Looking forward to your own tour in Canada, don't forget Quebec City ! Much love from across the country.
Excited to see new UTA music!
This song is amazing. Cant wait to hear the rest of the Album.
To be honest, so far I don't care for the video and not even for the lyrics. Bought the new album, gave it a first playthrough and instantly thought: THAT song stands out! Now it runs on "infinite repeat" for me. Simply amazing. 🤘 Later... maybe much later.... I may be be able to judge the rest of the album. And the lyrics... And maybe the videos... Well done, UTA 🇨🇦
Awesome song with a nice blend of melodic and heavy elements. The video was incredible and it makes me wonder if AI is the end of creativity or a new age of it!
About time I got a new Archers record I can drive into the ground!
Such a great song and it sticks in your head. It just keeps sounding better and better every time i listen to it.

Fantastic song as always, the AI art thing brings an odd "uncanny valley" kind of thing to the faces that's really offputting though. Neat to experiment with, ugly in practice.

Hm. I don't love it. But I do like it. It's a good song, nice melody, pretty vocals. But it's like a background music track to avoid silence, not a setpiece track to epicfy a special moment, like any song off Apex. I am very anxious to hear the rest of the album.
They're back! Rock on my fellow Canucks! Rock on! Love the new song. I'm just hoping for a Vancouver concert now.
