I can actually explain the story for you. On their previous album, Apex, the protagonist, the Immortal, was woken by the antagonist, the Matriarch. He was cursed at birth to perform a task for whoever awakens him, and she tasked him with retrieving her four sons so she could sacrifice them in a ritual to attain immortality. What wasn't made clear (but Brittney has explained) is before killing them, she performed a second ritual to bind their souls to her, basically forcing them to server her as undead revenants, her enforcers. This song is about the Immortal encountering them; the clean vocals are sung from his POV and the growls from the POV of the revenant sons. This album, Abyss, takes place 50 years after Apex in space. I highly recommend the first track they released from it, Abyss, as well as the whole Apex album.

Great reaction!! Welcome to the UTA family... There IS a concept/story to Soulbound. In fact this story actually begins back on their previous album Apex (2017). Soulbound is on the new album titled Abyss (August 2020). If you want to begin the jouney that starts on Apex, start with the opening track "Awakening"... kzitem.info/news/bejne/yKeLtnuXameAp6Q Unleash The Archers: Brittney Hayes (a.k.a. Brittney Slayes) - clean vocals (2007-present) Scott Buchanan - drums (2007-present) Grant Truesdell - guitar, unclean vocals (2011-present) Andrew Kingsley - guitar, unclean vocals (2014-present)

You guys should react to Nightwish if you want baddass female vocals. I recommend 7 Days to the Wolves live at Wembley, or Ghost Love Score live at Wacken (this one is slower and more melodic with more focus on the classical instrumentals, the former is faster and more traditionally metal)

Love the reaction but the cardnial sin was perpetrated....pausing in the middle of a solo!! 😖😉 Couple of things. There are two guitarists here...Andrew and Grant. They are the masters of the handoff solos and this new album (Abyss) is a follow up concept album to their 2017 release (Apex). Both tell an excellent story about an Immortal and an evil Matriarch. Lots to go into and I am sure the UTA legions will help me out here. So many other songs to react to by them. It will be a fun ride regardless! lol...just rtft about the solo pause.

Bro: The "evil witch" is the Matriarch. Dude with the tube is one of her undead sons, tied as a thrall, to serve her in the afterlife (as others have said, her sons are all dead). This song (see the lyrics below) is basically the Immortal agonizing over what happened before he went back to sleep in his mountain: The fact he, being coerced via a birth curse, was forced to find, and then bring to the Matriarch, her four sons so she could kill them to attain immortality. And by the way, the fact you called the guitarist a "wizard" tells me that it is unknown to you: People in bands are bards, lol. How else do you think they put listeners under their spell?
