Unleash the Archers are my favorite band. Abyss is such a kick-ass album. A band in their prime. And these two guys are fantastic.

I feel like these guys described the evolution of my music taste as a kid as well as their own.

I love that one does a riff the other jumps in and they just jam for a bit. Also that it’s just them talking and just on their own time it seems like. Cool dudes

Criminally underrated band. Such a shame that Nikko left. He's such a beast on bass.

These guys are amazing players, and their vocalist is amazing. These guys would have been bajillionaires 35 years ago.

Andrew & Grant compliment each other SO WELL! They are YING & YANG! It's like these two were born to be in a band together.

They are amazing! No one ever talks about how hard it is to play TOGETHER and in SYNC like these guys do at these speeds...

My thoughts exactly! Playing such complicated and fast parts, in perfect sync AND most of them just on the fly, without drums or even a metronome or click track is REALLY impressive!! 🤩

"I grew up as a punk kid." I can relate to you, Grant.

Their riffs from Faster than Light are explosive. Such an amazing band!

IMMORTAL IS MORE THAN A NAME! Love you guys ❤️👍

I just want a video of Andrew, Scott, Brittany and Grant all together just talking about random shit

Unleash the Archers is an automatic thumbs up! Thanks to Grant and Andrew for the nods to Rhapsody and Angra. Those bands are becooming criminally underrated. 👍👍🔥🔥😉

Can we get these guys to do a full guitar-only play through of the Abyss album??? Please???

So happy they did Crypt and False Walls. Although I pretty much love all their songs lol

Both players are amazing !!

Very and very great guitarists. Talented and amazing players. Their guitar skills adorn the band Unleash The Archers. I love UTA :-).

So happy they mentioned both Dreamcrusher and The Wind that Shapes the Land into this video! Two of my absolute favourite UtA tracks!

This is one one of my very favorite bands. These guys are great.

Saw these guys do a small show back in 14’. In Sacramento. It was kick ass and my ears were ringing for a week after that night.

these two guys are so amazing guitarists. and their band is top of the game.

This video was so helpful for me as a guitarist. These guys are unbelievably talented! UTA forever 🤘

Guys you rock, Abyss is great! Keep on! and please do not stop doing your crazy videos!!

dreamcrusher is one of my favorites songs ever

I love watching guitar giants like these two mess up on riffs. It makes me feel better when I occasionally mess up. Also, I love Andrew's 7 string... So much. Keep rockin' Andrew and Grant!

Abyss is phenomenal. All you guys keep up the great work making kick-ass tunes.

Huge UTA fan here loved watching this video thanks for putting this out here for your fans you guys rock

The fact that this band is not the main attraction on any festival is a shame, they should at least be opening for Iron Maiden in Rock and Rio or something like that.

U.T.A deserves more attention and they should be big

There NEEDS to be a guitar only of all there stuff because god it’s all amazing

Glad these guys and this band are starting to get some recognition. Terrific power metal. And Brittney can flat out sing.

love this vid. just got into this band about 3 days ago!! ordered Apex and Abyss!! I thought that In This Moment was a tight band....but UTA? They took it to a whole different level!!

Test Your Metal is easily one of the bands best songs

Killer tone 🤘🤘

Awwww!! i'm fangirling!!!

Their guitar tone is amazing! Thick but still cuts.

It's crazy to think I saw and met these guys at some underground venue when they were in Archon Legion, also I got a unleash the archers demo, I think it was from 2009.

Much More Music!!!

Love the Angra influence!

This band is the real fucking deal

That iron maiden rock in Rio concert, January 19, 2001, was my first concert ever. I was 11. I’m very proud of it.

DAMN IT!! I love it!!!

This is my first introduction to this band they seem like cool guys. The one in the hat. Not sure his name but does anyone the guitars he uses. I'm definitely gonna have to look into these guys more. They seem like cool dudes.

Incredible

At 8:03 when Andrew starts playing, I immediately recognized that riff- check out Kalma “Outremer.” Different tempo, but SO similar. I love me some obscure metal. And UTA of course!!!

I haven't listened to much of their music, but UTA are really talented. I just listened to "Carry The Flame" last night, and Andrew has a really good singing voice that blends with Brittney's voice really well. I think I'll be checking out more of them.

I think I'm quite a bit older than you guys, but I was a big alternative fan until someone had me listen to The Flight of Icarus, and there was no turning back.

They have incredible guitar tone!

I know right, so chunk and delicious. It also helps the tone a lot with how clean they’re playing

Like, Apex was good, but the guitar work on Abyss is brain melting. I'm surprised I haven't got a speeding ticket already!

Cant go past the post-solo twin lead awesomeness in Awakening.

A kinda similar story for me. Iron Maiden was the catalyst for me too. Back when I was around 11 or 12 me and my cousin would listen to Big Shiny Tunes 5 that had like Sum 41, Blink 182, 3 Doors Down, RHCP, Matthew Good Band etc on it, so that was my start with any form of Rock n Roll. But then I remember being sent The Trooper and The Number of the Beast over MSN Messenger one day and that changed everything, my path towards Melodic Metal was definitely started by Maiden.

False walls, what an intro riff OMGGG, there needs to be some tabs or lesson online, I really wanna learn a lot of UTA songs man

They are so underrated omg

I just noticed -- it's been over a year since I suggested Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast as a cover, or Manowar's Kingdom Come as a cover. Regardless if these guys ever did it, the fact I get to hear Dreamcrusher, False Walls, Abyss, and The Wind That Shapes The Land? These guys not only give me new stuff to listen to, but they keep the old stuff, and memories as a kid, alive. So much love and respect for these two, and for the whole band. Now all I want to do is see the band on tour! As Tenacious D would say, COVID almost killed the metal -- but _nothing_ can kill the metal! Stay safe, stay well, you guys, and hope to see you on tour in 2021!

I feel identified with Andrew haha I would be playing while I'm talking, that is a classic among guitar players, we cannot be quiet if we have a guitar in our hands 😅

I have no idea who these guys are and ive never heard of their band but theyre fucking sick players

Phenomenal band. Top of the food chain musicians.

All they've done is make me wanna hear some UTA covers of Iron Maiden. My God that'd be perfect and Brittney could pull it off so we'll covering Bruce.

Yeah,really good.

I think we are looking at next gen guitar technical magicians. These guys every riff and every solo makes perfect sense. No tune is out of placement, and that is such rarity in music today. I love everything about this band. And vocal vise Brittney is the first female vocal that i place equal (power and the color of her voice) to the greats such as Bruce Dickinson, Dio or Kiske. Just Great.

they need to release tabs for their songs ... ill fkn buy them ALL

10:26 Reminded me of the chorus of Bleak by Opeth for a sec.

You guys are insanely good! Iron Maiden is still my favorite band. You guys and Dragonforce are in close contention for second place! And I'm leaning towards you. You're a fantastic tandem!

Boss MT-2 straight to the mixer?

Andrew playing Fury of the Storm is no surprise to me, but pleasant all the same. Daemons of the Astrowaste's album art was done by the same fellow who drew for Dragonforce!

TEST YOUR METAAAAAAALLLL WOOOAAAAAHHHHH

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Can we get Dean and Tobi from archspire?

2:51 What riff is this from??

Can't go wrong with Nirvana or Blink182🤘🤘🤘

up the irons!!

i shat my pants when they jammed the trooper..

These guys remind me of Dustie and Paul from Btbam

What guitar is the red haired guy playing?

They're both 7 strings, but the one on the left looked like a 6 string until I counted the tuners while the Ibanez is massive lol

Can anyone make out the logo on Andrew’s hat? I’m squinting and it’s driving me crazy.

this would be an interesting topic. Elitism in metal is pretty annoying. But jeez man even I catch myself being an elitist sometimes. Example: Fuck Deafheaven. They're just diet depressive suicidal black metal. Everything Deafheaven does has already been done by underground bands nearly 20+ years ago. But whatever, that's just the way she goes.

I kind of feel sorry for anyone who only discovered Iron Maiden in 2001. The first album I ever bought was Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time. I don't even know what I listened to before that.

Clearly they have many influences but man if I had to pick one, Iron Maiden. Just from how they sound and how naturally good they are at those duo riffs. Good shit
