“It’s actually happening! We have been waiting anxiously for this moment to happen and it’s finally here,” frontwoman Brittney Slayes said. “We have spent the last year and a half hanging out with our North American fans on Twitch and we absolutely cannot wait to get to play for them all and finally play ‘Abyss’ live in person! We are going to make sure everything is done safely and will always do our best to keep our fans safe. This tour is going to be such a party, I hope everyone is ready to have a good time because we can’t help but feel like every venue is going to be electric!!! Let’s go!”

Unleash the Archers recently won the 2021 Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year JUNO Award for its latest album, “Abyss.” The JUNO events, which took place over the course of this past weekend, recognize Canadian musical artists and bands for their creative achievements. The band was recognized during Friday’s JUNO Opening Night Awards, presented by Music Canada.
“We are still in shock; we dared to hope but still couldn’t believe it the moment they said our name,” Slayes said. “It’s just such an incredible feeling; all you can ask is to be recognized for the hard work that you put into your art and this is so far beyond that. We are ecstatic! It was such a great experience as well, CBC Music did a great job with all the logistics and everything went so smoothly behind the scenes. They really did well to make you feel like it was a special event despite the whole thing being virtual! Not to mention we streamed the whole thing on Twitch so it was so great to get to share in the moment with our friends and fans on there; we wouldn’t have wanted to win any other way! Thanks so much to everyone that has supported us over the years, we absolutely would NOT be here without you.”
