Unleash The Archers release new music video for ‘Abyss’

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Abyss, is the title track from the Canadian power metallers’ upcoming new album which is scheduled to be released in August.

The new music video was directed by Rod Scobie (who also directed the band’s music videos for Awakening and Northwest Passage), and speaking about the song, frontwoman Brittney Slayes says, “this track set the tone for the whole record; conceptually, lyrically, musically, it all started here. Andy came up with the opening riff back when we were writing Apex, but I knew right away it didn’t belong on that record. When we finally started writing Abyss in 2019, this was the first song we wrote and it was the first song I listened to when the record was done. It symbolizes five years of hard work for us, and I think it does a great job of putting the listener in the right place emotionally to start the record. It hints at what the rest of the album is all about, but also doesn’t give it all away, not by a long shot!”

Abyss is set for release on August 21st via Napalm Records.
