Yeah, you could be a metalcore band, and thus be almost surely shitty. Or you could be a traditional metal band, and be almost surely awesome.

Title track, Awakening, and the Coward's Way would be my recommendations
That song was bland. What's the best song from Apex?
Call Me Immortal would be mine, atop this.
Sorry, I'll ask Brittney to cut her vocal cords to shreds with a razor so you get shitty growls.

IMO the title track, The Matriarch, and Cleanse the Bloodlines
So that's 60% of the album recommended. Ten Thousand Against One is the single-style song, too.
Ten Thousand to One and Matriarch are the easiest way in. Have we collectively recommended the full album yet?

The whole album is amazing, but I would say try the title track and some of the more "single-oriented" tunes before diving in. Personally I don't find Awakening to be the best at gripping a new listener.

But did you “hit the report button” on her? That’s all that really matters.
Oops, this probably belongs in the DRUNK POSTING thread...

I'm a bit annoyed that you guys ignored this video. Everyone got distracted by NP moaning about that silly website Metal Archives.
Who would ever think that a band that LC, MrK and Woggo like would have growls?
I watched it. It sounded like Brittney Slayes doing karaoke.
I like the addition of growling to UTA songs, to be fair. The massive amount of layered vocals with quite high bits can get wearing after a while, it makes the overall sound of the band a lot more rounded to have contrasting vocals.

I guess they know they appeal to the gamer market.

I didn't realize Dave Mustaine had joined Unleash The Archers.
Eh, D&D, I'm burned out on D&D.

I started listening to this band about a week or so ago. First impression was, "Wow, she's got a deep voice." It was definitely a nice change of pace from the plethora of soprano and mezzo-soprano led metal bands. Next impression was, they look so... average. Again, really liked that, they're not trying too hard for a "metal" image, they all look like average joes, including the singer who isn't some hypersexualized doll with pipes. As for the music I was like, "Huh, pretty cool, nothing earth shattering." Well, one week later I've got these guys on loop and absolutely loving every tiny detail. Current faves are Abyss and their Mad Max inspired, Tonight We Ride. I HATE their power ballad Heartless World, good lord what a pile of crap, but aside from the videos/albums I can youtube, that's the only low point.
I do like the fact she doesn't overdo high notes. It's distinctive and gets away from that female-fronted symphonic band thing that's verging on cliche now.

Unless she’s opening a song. Then it’s always “ah-YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!”

I've noticed this too, and I've barely listened to anything by them.
