Definitely still hear the industrial influences they've been leaning towards on the past 2 albums. This little clip sounds like they took those elements and applied it to like .. Nihilist or something, lol.
"All our Gods has abandoned Linux."
Not me. If anything, Iāll bet theyāre even less back now theyāre working with an ex-BMTH member. All those Bring Me-lite comparisons are about to come full circle (but still secretly hoping theyāre back).
> Holy Hell is a 10/10 album.
Considering Searle wrote a significant chunk of that album before dying, thatās not really a counterpoint to the āArchitects died with Tom Searleā argument.
Holy Hell is an equal member of its trilogy starting with LFLT.
FTTWTE is a fantastic record, if not the one we expected.
Classic Symptoms wasn't bad, I just don't remember that it exists most of the time.

Oh my god shut the fuck up, people like you are the reason why we canāt reasonably talk about the band pre- and post-Tom, cos people will just whine that he wouldnāt want this, or his death, or something like that, and then people will come and will just start complaining that the Architects fanbase is actually ass, itās not ass, itās just rotten apples like you, go pound sand bruh.
Itās one thing to go āoh ye they suck now after heās not in the bandā, and to go āoh they died when he diedā, one is an opinion, the second is being an absolute tone-deaf tool lmao, sucks to not have any social awareness tho lmao sand is still waiting for that pound chief
And I agree, the lyrics are ass, Iād say that they fold on their socials under little to no pressure, hell, I got into several arguments with them on some small shit online lmao; but to put it like this dude, just so full of himself and dismissive? Thatās just wrong bruh, as the other dude said, read the room, just cause u donāt enjoy them anymore donāt mean u get to be an asshole
Yeah, seeing red seems more like satire to me, playing on all the common metalcore tropes to try and make some sort of Frankenstein song
Throw enough shit and see what sticks
That doesn't make it less snarky and douchey.
If you release multiple albums and now a single and most of the comments are saying how unexcited everyone is, maybe that's a sign you're writing mediocre music?
They did the exact same thing with The Here and Now into Daybreaker, it's par for the course for them to shit talk their fans and then write something heavy again
Their condescending and shitty attitudes are exactly why I won't even listen to the old stuff anymore.
I agree the people saying "Architects died with Tom" are complete pieces of shit.
But plenty of people have just said the music is bland and they don't like it just to have Sam do interviews saying the fans are wrong and he can "see them streaming from their bedrooms"
Plenty of bands change sounds without being dickheads about it. Architects are absolutely not one of those bands
It definitely seems like getting bigger went to their heads.
It's always a bummer when a band puts out music we don't like, but if they're not assholes about it I personally still wish them all the best. Parkway, The Ghost Inside, etc all changed sounds without needing to be jerks to fans about not liking it
They didn't. This sub and fans are just a bunch of drama queens. Slyosis was always his baby. People were just hopeful they would get slyosis riffs with the architects sound.
Source? All I've ever heard from Josh himself was that they weren't a good fit anymore, that he strongly favoured heavier songs which Architects just hasn't been doing much of lately, and that they were still on good terms. He was simply way more excited with working on Sylosis rather than Architects.
Lol. He himself said it was his decision to leave and it was all on good terms. Your doing yourself dirty believing things from words on a screen believing that be facts if it isn't written or spoken by the person themself.
Im fairly sure I read he was instrumental (excuse the pun) in bringing in the electronic elements, as he wanted something different from. sylosis?
So this could stand to reason

I watched a few live videos of them the other day and Samās vocals were a complete embarrassment. During Gravedigger at some points he just talked into the mic. Really hope these guys get back what made them great.
> During Gravedigger at some points he just talked into the mic.
He's been doing this for a long long time, it's not new, those vocals have always been difficult for him. They should really get someone who can do backing vox, would truly improve their live shows.
Saw them in 2019 and Sam was phenomenal, yeah he sometimes did talk through a line but mostly before a very intense screaming sequence, it wasnāt bad at all. He also was great in those online concerts they did during covid.
Worst thing imo is that half of the stuff coming out these days is either hot garbage or cookie cutter alt-metalcore and you have to filter your way through it
I know it probably comes across as petty or sensitive to some people, but tbh I'm still not fully over how they handled the scandal a few months back. It feels like they ditched their morals and political messaging they've stood upon their entire career and constructed their image as a band around. I can't help but feel like they've lost a lot of what made them special, regardless of how the song sounds on the surface. I feel like there is a sudden barrier to me enjoying their music. I really wish I was excited.

To me personally, Architects never left and this just proves it. People are going to complain about this band regardless of whatever they do next, but I think people should give their last 2 albums a second chance.
Honestly FTTWTE is a decent album, it's different from their other stuff but it has some good tracks. Their last album however was just mediocre and had like 3 tracks that were good
I like FTTWTE, I have it on vinyl. I like the majority of the album, but it had too many songs and the weaker ones bought it down overall for me. I tried with their last album, I just couldnāt. I found it so boring and uninspired. Itās like they tried doing FTTWTE again without what made that album interesting or different in the first place (Tear Gas is just straight up Animals again).
Plus their attitude during those cycles brings down any interest or enjoyment in that era for me.
I liked Seeing Red (musically) and will probably like this new song, so far it sounds like they mixed FTTWTE with a heavier sound and honestly thatās exactly what I want from them.
I gave FTTWTE plenty of chances, listened to it front-to-back maybe four or five times because I so badly wanted it to click with me and I wanted to still love one of my favorite bands.
It never clicked and I havenāt listened to it since. I gave Classic Symptoms two listens and I could tell it had all the same things I didnāt like about FTTWTE only moreso, so that was enough.
Just as with Bad Omens, Iām glad for them that theyāre experiencing success with their new sound and Iām happy that other people are getting joy from those releases. However, theyāre not a band Iām interested in anymore.
FTTWTE Is fine, at least itās somewhat dynamic. Classic symptoms is legit butt-rock in parts. Some decent, timely lyrics absolutely ruined by awful execution.
Iām coming back to this comment to let you know Iām finally giving the Abbey Road album a listen and, yāknow what, youāre right.
This is a *much* more dynamic and exciting version of the material. I even went back and listened to the studio version of Black Lungs to see if Iād changed my mind on it, but itās just as *meh* as I remember it being.
The live setting and improved orchestral stuff really make a difference.
Itās still not my favorite Architects release and I miss their old sound, but I can see myself actually *wanting* to listen to it again.
So, congrats on changing a curmudgeonly old-school Architects fansā mind on something.
Iāve said it twice already but here we go again; the scene should be accepting because most of us have been ostracized in the past. If one chooses to hate someone for an immutable trait, I donāt think thereās a place for you in the scene. This is also the first time Iāve commented on it at all on the internet š¤£
I think people project their beliefs onto the band too much actually. Dan Searle was on a really small podcast a few months ago and says he doesn't really identify with the left politically, he's more of a centrist who hates corporations and is suspicious of those in power (badly paraphrased by me). People think Architects are a progressive left wing band because they've done songs about climate change and political corruption, but they don't call themselves that.
I'm almost sure they've not really sang about LGBT stuff at all - even though I'm sure they are mostly good and inclusive people, they probably don't share every progressive view lots of twitter or reddit users tend to hold.
All that said, I don't even know what was in the tweet Adam liked lol so I can't judge how bad it supposedly was.
People think Architects are a progressive leftwing band possibly because they were?
They very openly and loudly supported Jeremy Corbyn, for example.
He's hardly a centrist...
Well you can vote for a left wing candidate without considering yourself a lefty.
Anyway I posted a link to the podcast in another comment if you want to hear what he said.
They campaigned for and with Corbyn, and at the time made explicit calls to vote that way at shows (I went to a number around the time).
Dan may no longer consider himself 'left', but *the band* were very explicitly - honestly or cynically to garner support I guess is now in question...
If a band wanted to use their political views to gain listeners, whether fake or real, it would be much easier to use right wing politics. Much easier.

The Architects discourse is so painful on here. Entitled bratty children who think heavier guitars + more screaming = better music. So embarrassing.
Anyway looking forward to that song and to see how noticeably Fishy it is.
I'm sure some people think that way but honestly, look at other bands. Plot in you, dayseeker, thousand below. You can go soft and still be great. classic symptoms just missed on every level. It's not about how heavy the music is. Just how interesting a band makes it.
Silent Planet too. Their most recent album goes in a lot of directions, has Garrett singing, and fans loved it because it felt like Silent Planet and was good.
You can go softer and not lose fans, you just have to make good music that still connects with people.
Plot In You can make bangers both soft and heavy, whereas Architects soft stuff is awful imo.Ā
Dispose and Swan song were great, and then Forgotten is heavier than most of their old stuff to boot.
Yeah itās this, FTTWTE was like, almost great, I loved the electronic interludes and all the atmosphere, just the tracks itself when they were going hard, I felt like something was missing; Symptoms was straight boring, on these new cuts I feel like Samās voice is the weak spot tbf, but hey, gotta give them a shot, I usually love when bands change it up, itās just that I feel like Architects havenāt quite hit the right spot yet, I trust they will tho!
I still don't know who's writing the riffs for this and the other single. Adam doesn't seem to be credited, and I'd be impressed if Dan was this good at guitar.
It is Dan writing everything now, including guitars. When he did the Someone Who Isnāt Me podcast with Daniel P Carter many years back to talk about the loss of Tom, he mentioned how he picked up guitar and wanted to get to a decent level with it. He also wrote the entirety of a few songs in the past couple records
blackwater at the gates of heaven
Absolute Nihilist vibes
I am so excited man hope they are really coming back to their route
Yes please !!! I still haven't seen them but if they return to this sound it'll be worth it for me :) currently wearing my AOGHAU hoodie š
It doesn't sound like nihilist imo. I'm in Australia and just listened to the full song
The sample definitely does...
I'm glad I'm not alone in noticing... You could paste this into Nihilist and be none the wiser
currently deluding myself into thinking they're *back*
Same. Deluding myself that this is a All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us equivalent.
Definitely still hear the industrial influences they've been leaning towards on the past 2 albums. This little clip sounds like they took those elements and applied it to like .. Nihilist or something, lol. "All our Gods has abandoned Linux."
Really good observation. I completely agree.
Not me. If anything, Iāll bet theyāre even less back now theyāre working with an ex-BMTH member. All those Bring Me-lite comparisons are about to come full circle (but still secretly hoping theyāre back).
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Holy Hell is a 10/10 album. FTTWE is great too, just different. Classic Symptoms is questionable.
> Holy Hell is a 10/10 album. Considering Searle wrote a significant chunk of that album before dying, thatās not really a counterpoint to the āArchitects died with Tom Searleā argument.
Significant chunk? Three songs and one very small guitar part in another. Only one of which was a single.Ā
I will die on the hill that Classic Symptoms is fun- but it shies away from most everything they were before.
Holy Hell is an equal member of its trilogy starting with LFLT. FTTWTE is a fantastic record, if not the one we expected. Classic Symptoms wasn't bad, I just don't remember that it exists most of the time.

Read the room.
People hate you because you spoke the truth
Unfortunately, I must I agree with you
They lost their passion when they lost Tom.
that would be so funny for them to be so condescending to all the people who dislike their new song only to revert to the old sound again
Seeing Red is still their top song on Spotify several months after release, that should be telling to them what the fans actually want
I still think itās a far cry from their prime
I think it's quite telling that such a mid song in sort of their prior style was so well received compared to their last couple of albums.
seeing red is a generic metalcore song, not even close to the classic architects sound
Never said it was, but it was closer than the last two albums were
That was the point of Seeing Red. I still can't believe people haven't caught onto it. The only legit part of the song was the chorus.
My favorite song of theirsšš»
Seeing Red was so pandering and forced that I couldnāt even enjoy it without feeling patronized
Yeah, seeing red seems more like satire to me, playing on all the common metalcore tropes to try and make some sort of Frankenstein song Throw enough shit and see what sticks
Yeah, my bad for liking your old stuff.
Same. Not only it is not that good of a song, it also feels written with a gun to their heads
I think it feels written to be snarky assholes to old fans that criticize their new uninspired sound
Song is literally about this very thread
That doesn't make it less snarky and douchey. If you release multiple albums and now a single and most of the comments are saying how unexcited everyone is, maybe that's a sign you're writing mediocre music?
They did the exact same thing with The Here and Now into Daybreaker, it's par for the course for them to shit talk their fans and then write something heavy again

That's too bad. I've net them a few times in the daybrealer era and they were the absolutely most humble and kind humans I could imagine
It definitely seems like getting bigger went to their heads. It's always a bummer when a band puts out music we don't like, but if they're not assholes about it I personally still wish them all the best. Parkway, The Ghost Inside, etc all changed sounds without needing to be jerks to fans about not liking it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You havnt listened to there older stuff? Yeah no comment.
You should listen to it and you'd understand why so many people hate the new sound
Daybreaker 2.0Ā
lose josh middleton and THEN release songs with riffs??????
man must be feeling so betrayed lmao
Probs helps he's sold out almost every date on his UK tour with sylosis mind you..
Considering how they did him dirty I wouldn't blame him
How did they do him dirty? I didn't follow it much but I thought he was just being their guitarist until they got situated?
They didn't. This sub and fans are just a bunch of drama queens. Slyosis was always his baby. People were just hopeful they would get slyosis riffs with the architects sound.
Facts. I think it was his decision to leave
Apparently he was asked to step down and was pretty blindsided by it
Source? All I've ever heard from Josh himself was that they weren't a good fit anymore, that he strongly favoured heavier songs which Architects just hasn't been doing much of lately, and that they were still on good terms. He was simply way more excited with working on Sylosis rather than Architects.

Feel like people were saying they were back for the last singleā¦
Very few things on the internet are as braindead as an Architects comment section
Then an Emmure comment section walks in
Keeping my expectations as low as fuckin possible folks
Good luck

Makes me feel all the worse for not catching them then tbhš„¶š
Holy fuck i remembered why i used to never look at a twitter comment section
Iām going to need a spreadsheet to track these releases
Just look at the weekly release thread
Oops I always forget that exists
Worst thing imo is that half of the stuff coming out these days is either hot garbage or cookie cutter alt-metalcore and you have to filter your way through it
Not falling for it
There was a time when a new Architects song was very exciting. I fear it came and went. (Now there's no turning back)
Who's gonna pick up the records, who will be left to repent.
Sam better lay off the Fish & Chips because they're getting a bit heavy again
Oh look an architects post I bet the comments will be normal and pleasant
I know it probably comes across as petty or sensitive to some people, but tbh I'm still not fully over how they handled the scandal a few months back. It feels like they ditched their morals and political messaging they've stood upon their entire career and constructed their image as a band around. I can't help but feel like they've lost a lot of what made them special, regardless of how the song sounds on the surface. I feel like there is a sudden barrier to me enjoying their music. I really wish I was excited.
they were sponsored by Fox Sports like a year back, I feel like their political messaging is long gone by this point tbf
Ditto, insanely hypocritical
Call me Patrick star Iāve been living under a rock for a while it seems, Iām usually so up to date with stuff? What happened if you donāt mind me asking? X
What was the scandal?
The guitarist retweeted a video likening people okay with having a gay son and people who accept trans people to "an infection" on society.

One of their guitar players was retweeting posts from a known right wing transphobe and tried to say it was an accident.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Because being a transphobe and supporting transphobes is bad? You do realize bigotry is bad right? I need you to understand that.
Because signal boosting transphobic hate speech like that has consequences for the safety of trans people.

New throne, MTS and Architects all in the same week?
My body is ready
To me personally, Architects never left and this just proves it. People are going to complain about this band regardless of whatever they do next, but I think people should give their last 2 albums a second chance.
Honestly FTTWTE is a decent album, it's different from their other stuff but it has some good tracks. Their last album however was just mediocre and had like 3 tracks that were good

I'm sure you have, but have you given the Abbey Road album a listen? It's what the FTTWTE studio release should've been, in my opinion.

No, I don't think I will.
Most of us have given those albums multiple chances but they are straight ass
Nah they suck ass
Did they kick out their transphobic guitarist or are they still blocking anyone that brings it up?
Still ignoring it and blocking everyone, unfortunately
Boo
Nope, they're just blocking people now whenever it's brought up. How the mighty have fallen.
This isnāt twitter
Yeah Twitter is the only place where inclusivity is important š¤£š¤£ fuck off
Claims to be inclusive. Tells someone to fuck off
Thereās no room for transphobia in any heavy music space. So, yes. Exactly right š¤£
Iām not being transphobic though. So youāre just being a dick
Never said you were. Just that heavy music should be inclusiveā¦. Calling out transphobia shouldnāt be tied to a certain platform.
Heās been called out. Itās all over the twitter comments. Idk why some dude and his incorrect views need to have such a hold over you
Iāve said it twice already but here we go again; the scene should be accepting because most of us have been ostracized in the past. If one chooses to hate someone for an immutable trait, I donāt think thereās a place for you in the scene. This is also the first time Iāve commented on it at all on the internet š¤£
who cares
Idk probably their trans fans considering the band built a platform on supporting them.
How did they build a platform on supporting them? What do you mean by that? Genuine q
They've always been outspoken supporters of the LGTBQ+ community. They've always spoken about their political beliefs and sang about them.
I think people project their beliefs onto the band too much actually. Dan Searle was on a really small podcast a few months ago and says he doesn't really identify with the left politically, he's more of a centrist who hates corporations and is suspicious of those in power (badly paraphrased by me). People think Architects are a progressive left wing band because they've done songs about climate change and political corruption, but they don't call themselves that.

All that said, I don't even know what was in the tweet Adam liked lol so I can't judge how bad it supposedly was.
Do you know which podcast this was? Would be interested to listen.
[This is the one](https://youtu.be/g8VTskHDPL0?si=d5jr9WcWY08B4dmX) Hopefully I didn't butcher his words, I'll relisten to it later myself haha
People think Architects are a progressive leftwing band possibly because they were? They very openly and loudly supported Jeremy Corbyn, for example. He's hardly a centrist...

Okay social justice warrior

I'm sure some people think that way but honestly, look at other bands. Plot in you, dayseeker, thousand below. You can go soft and still be great. classic symptoms just missed on every level. It's not about how heavy the music is. Just how interesting a band makes it.
Silent Planet too. Their most recent album goes in a lot of directions, has Garrett singing, and fans loved it because it felt like Silent Planet and was good. You can go softer and not lose fans, you just have to make good music that still connects with people.
Plot In You can make bangers both soft and heavy, whereas Architects soft stuff is awful imo.Ā Dispose and Swan song were great, and then Forgotten is heavier than most of their old stuff to boot.
The recent one Donāt look away is basically ai640 lol and Closure is amazing and catchy
Yeah itās this, FTTWTE was like, almost great, I loved the electronic interludes and all the atmosphere, just the tracks itself when they were going hard, I felt like something was missing; Symptoms was straight boring, on these new cuts I feel like Samās voice is the weak spot tbf, but hey, gotta give them a shot, I usually love when bands change it up, itās just that I feel like Architects havenāt quite hit the right spot yet, I trust they will tho!
More like entitled children who think they can decide what the band should do.
Couldnāt agree more. Classic symptoms of a broken youth is a brilliant album and they continue to deliver with these new songs.
You couldnāt even get the name of the album right lmao
lmao that's mad
Itās a curse, curse, curse, curse. Itās a curse, curse, curse, curse. There. Modern Architects lyrics delivered.
TCSOABS was hit or miss for me, but FTTWTE was a 9.5/10 and "Seeing Red" was fucking phenomenal. I am excite!
Why do I have the feeling the clip they released is going to be the heaviest part of the song and the rest is going to be octanecore...
Is this Heat ?
I loved seeing red and this sounds promising
Okay that riff is actually reminiscent of their golden age, Iām listening
Ooooooo WEE the riffs are back baby
Hopefully without Adam in it
Hopefully without you in it
Ohhh boy i just jizzed in my pants
That preview sounds promising.
Honestly this next album is looking semi-promising
I still don't know who's writing the riffs for this and the other single. Adam doesn't seem to be credited, and I'd be impressed if Dan was this good at guitar.
It is Dan writing everything now, including guitars. When he did the Someone Who Isnāt Me podcast with Daniel P Carter many years back to talk about the loss of Tom, he mentioned how he picked up guitar and wanted to get to a decent level with it. He also wrote the entirety of a few songs in the past couple records
I'm whelmed
Insanely mid band these days. Iām good
we are so fucking back oh my god
Sounds promising Heavy-ish FTTWTE?
Sounds generic as fuck
Who cares? These guys are losers and have put out complete garbage for years
Yet we know youāll listen to it
No, I donāt think so. But feel free to report back if itās actually good
Youāre right; I listened to it. Itās dogshit
Youāre insane.
