Unleash The Archers release new music video for ‘Blood Empress’

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Blood Empress, is taken from the Canadian power metal band’s upcoming new album, Phantoma, which is scheduled to be released on Friday, via Napalm Records.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, vocalist Brittney Slayes says, “this was the last song that we wrote for the album and we wrote it together in our Airbnb while we were recording. We always like to save one song to write together in the studio to give a kind of snapshot of the headspace we were in while recording, and this one was a ton of fun. We wanted to do a bit more of a radio rock track and have it be something simple that would be a blast to play live and potentially end the set with. The album story ends with Phantoma having destroyed both The Collective and the Human Council that once stood against her, but now she had all of robotkind and humankind looking to her for where to go next. We wanted the song to feel dark but also triumphant, and to hopefully be catchy enough to make the listener want to start the album all over again. The video was filmed once again by RuneGate Studio and they did an awesome job with finding a set that could parry between both the synthetic and the human sides of the story. We all love this track in UNLEASH THE ARCHERS and hope that you all can bang your heads to it too!”
