UNLEASH THE ARCHERS – Apex (June 2, 2017)

Napalm Records are set to release the new album by Canadian power metal outfit Unleash The Archers on June 2, 2017.

Entitled Apex, it will be the band’s fourth full-length album and is eagerly anticipated by fans of melodic, heavy, power metal.

“Cleanse the Bloodlines” represents the debut single from the album, and powerful frontwoman Brittney Slayes states, “We are beyond stoked to finally debut a track from the new album, and this song was unanimously chosen as the first single by the whole band, no question. It’s a heavy song so we wanted a heavy video, and we think that Richard (Olak, director) did an incredible job of capturing the essence of the album perfectly. It was a brutal two days of filming in zero degree weather, but it was worth it, and we think it turned out well. We filmed with a 6K RED Weapon, one of the best cameras out there right now, and the cinematic quality adds to the dark nature of the lyrical content. We think our fans are really going to like this one!”
