Review By Halina Wegner
Unleash The Archers, Canada’s premier power metal outfit, continues their meteoric rise with the unveiling of their latest single, ‘Blood Empress’, serving as the epic closer to their forthcoming album, Phantoma, set to drop on May 10th via Napalm Records.
‘Blood Empress’ stands as a testament to the band’s unrivaled prowess in the realm of modern power metal. With spine-tingling choruses and a grandiose blastbeat finale, the track weaves a bittersweet tale that captivates from start to finish. As vocalist Brittney Slayes describes, it’s a blend of dark triumph and radio-friendly catchiness, designed to leave audiences clamoring for more.
Phantoma, the band’s sixth studio album, promises to be a game-changer, both musically and thematically. Set in a dystopian future where social media facades conceal harsh realities, the album follows protagonist Phantoma on a journey of self-discovery amidst chaos and deceit. With their signature fusion of power metal, traditional heavy metal, and modern prog, Unleash The Archers deliver a sonic masterpiece that transcends genres.
‘Blood Empress’ serves as a fitting conclusion to Phantoma’s narrative arc, encapsulating the album’s themes of rebellion and redemption. Filmed by RuneGate Studio, the accompanying video seamlessly blends synthetic and human elements, mirroring the dichotomy explored in the album’s concept. ‘Blood Empress’ is a tour de force of epic proportions, showcasing Unleash The Archers at the peak of their creative powers.
