More Info

The highly anticiapted new album from the increidible metal band, Architects, following on from their no. 1 charting album 'For Those That Wish To Exist'.

Finding yourself with a UK Number One album and selling out arenas is enough for someto repeat a winning formula. Architects however, are forever moving forward. "It was definitely validating and felt really cool for like a day," recalls drummer, producer and songwriter Dan Searle of hitting the top spot with For Those That Wish To Exist.

"For a lot of the bucket list things you reach in any career, there's a momentary gratification then you're like, 'What next?' You just move on. By the time the album came out, my head was already in the mindset of 'broken spirit'. That was where I was at."

Searle notes how it was their albums Lost Forever/Lost Together, All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, and Holy Hell that really "cemented what the band was about" and "took them to a new level" as a rock powerhouse and leaders of the UK's metalcore scene – making it all the more "daunting" to reinvent themselves on the records that would follow." I wanted to make this album with a different aesthetic. We were enjoying working with the synths and doing stuff that we hadn't done before."
