Unleash the Archers
Entry updated 27 January 2025. Tagged: Music.
Canadian metal band active from 2007, all of whose albums include sf or fantasy imagery and themes, as shown by the titles and artwork of Behold the Devastation (2009), Demons of the AstroWaste (2011) and Time Stands Still (2015), the cover of which shows a chained Monster bursting out of a smashed planet. Apex (2017) and Abyss (2020) are concept albums in which characters with names like The Immortal and The Matriarch battle each other in Space Opera settings. Phantoma (2024) follows a sentient AI on a Dystopian future Earth. Their unashamedly histrionic, would-be anthemic style is a throw-back to 1990s metal, in contrast to the futuristic lyrical content.
