Editor's note

Unleash The Archers, Vancouver's power metal storytellers

A band that built a following through big melodies and concept albums like 'Apex' and 'Abyss'.

If you want to hear what they do, put on 'Time Stands Still' or 'Legacy.' Both tracks frame their mix of power metal drive and those big, melodic choruses.

They found a real audience with 2017's 'Apex,' an album that let Brittney Hayes' vocals soar over power metal riffs and melodic passages. Songs like 'Legacy' and 'Time Stands Still' show their knack for grand, narrative metal that doesn't skimp on hooks. They've carved out a space in modern metal by sticking to that blend of force and melody.

They started in Vancouver in 2007, grinding through early releases like 'Demons of the AstroWaste.' The 2015 album 'Time Stands Still' gave them a clearer sound, and 'Apex' in 2017 brought wider tours and a settled lineup. They followed with 'Abyss' in 2020, another concept record that kept their style intact.

Archive material and source history

Unleash the Archers formed in Vancouver in 2007, started by vocalist Brittney Hayes and guitarist Grant Truesdell. They put out early work like the EP 'Behold the Devastation' and the album 'Demons of the AstroWaste,' playing small shows around the city. The lineup settled with Scott Buchanan on rhythm guitar and Nick Miller on bass, and they kept at it through the usual grind of a new metal band.

Things picked up with the 2015 album 'Time Stands Still,' which gave them a clearer footing. But it was 2017's 'Apex' that really connected, an album built around big melodies and Hayes' vocal range. Songs like 'The Wind That Shapes the Land' and 'False Walls' showed their mix of power metal force and more melodic, almost folk-tinged passages. They started getting on tours with bigger acts like Sabaton and Nightwish.

In 2020 they followed with 'Abyss,' another concept record that leaned into darker themes. Tracks such as 'Legacy' and 'Return To Me' continued their style of grand, narrative metal. The band had to deal with an internal issue in 2019 when they cut ties with former bassist Brad Kennedy over harassment allegations, but they kept working. They've stayed a five-piece for live shows, with Andrew Kingsley on drums.
