UNLEASH THE ARCHERS Release Music Video For Track “The Matriarch”!

Leave a comment

The definition of matriarch says: “A woman who rules or dominates a family, group, or state; specifically:  a mother who is head and ruler of her family and descendants.”

“The Matriarch” is also the brand new track and music video off of UNLEASH THE ARCHERS’ upcoming album Apex. The album marks the tenth anniversary of UNLEASH THE ARCHERS! These heavy metal heroes are celebrating this honor with an exhilarating feast on their fourth masterpiece – out on June 2nd via Napalm Records!

Brittney Slayes states:
“This track is chapter three in the story, and in it we are introduced to our antagonist “The Matriarch” in all her malevolent glory.  We call this one our “quick banger” because it’s fast, catchy, and fun, and hopefully it won’t take long to learn the words!  It is sung from an omniscient point of view, drawing the listener in with tales of The Matriarch’s depravity.  The best part is the bridge, because the song is so dark, and then it launches into this flowing wraithlike guitar melody that is so memorable, I sing along to it every time and I think the fans will too!  Absolutely can not wait to play this one live  ;)„  

Check out the brand new video “The Matriarch”


Channeling the fiery brilliance of shooting stars, there is immense beauty on Apex, and it clutches you with a fervor that lingers well beyond the last cymbal decay. Through swift melodies and a flair for the dramatic, UNLEASH THE ARCHERS newest release compels you to chant with fists raised high in the air “All hail heavy metal!”

SEVEN KINGDOMS Release Official Music Video For Track “Kingslayer”!

Leave a comment

This is not only for fans of Game Of Thrones! “Rebellion is coming, soon the gates will fall” state the lyrics of SEVEN KINGDOMS’ latest track & music video “Kingslayer”.

SEVEN KINGDOMS are blazing a wild passion through every millisecond of their monstrous music. Welcome Decennium, their furious 10th anniversary. Be sure: This fast’n’heavy thrash and power metal is always uptempo, fierce and epic. Songstress Sabrina Valentine sings with full force and her charismatic voice flirts insanely with heavy twin guitars.

See and hear it for yourself with the official music video premiere for “Kingslayer”

The band states:
“Kingslayer is a song about Jaime Lannister’s betrayal of his oath, which earned him that very nickname across the Seven Kingdoms. The Mad King was ready to blow up all of Kings Landing with stocks of wildfire hidden under the streets, rather than face defeat to Robert’s rebellion. Having already seen enough atrocities committed by the king, Jaime could not stand by any longer with the lives of the entire city at stake. He murdered the Mad King, the one his life was sworn to protect. Instead of becoming a hero, this betrayal would be how history remembered Jaime Lannister.”
