ARCHITECTS - Holy Hell (9 novembre)

Nouveau single


Et nouveau guitariste officialisé depuis la mort de Tom Searle. Et son remplaçant n'est autre que Josh Middleton (Sylosis).

Josh Middleton a écrit:I have officially joined Architects as there new guitarist. I'm incredibly grateful to be a part of the band and would like to thank the band, management, crew and fans alike for being so accepting of me.
I want to thank Sylosis fans for their patience this past year whilst all kinds of things have changed in my life. This doesn't mean the end of Sylosis or that I have left. I love making all kinds of music.
I'm so proud of our new single 'Doomsday' which in on Youtube. It's great to have finally kind of collaborated with Tom on something which I always wanted to do in some form as I loved his music.
Thank you for all of the support!!

Ce morceau me semble plus marquant que l'intégralité du précédent album. Cool.
Puis ce Carter, quel charisme d'enfoiré il possède. Il doit en tartiner, de la go, ce mec.

This doesn't mean the end of Sylosis or that I have left.

Et merde.

After some cryptic teasing earlier in the week, Architects have returned with news of a new album, a massive headline tour, and a new single.

The Brighton-based metallers will be releasing their forthcoming eighth full-length, Holy Hell, on November 9 via Epitaph Records. To coincide with the news, they’ve also dropped an incredible new single and video, Hereafter, which you can watch below, or over at Architectsofficial.com.



Of Holy Hell itself – which marks the band’s first record since the passing of Tom Searle – Dan Searle (drummer and brother of Tom) says: “In those first months after Tom’s death, I didn’t deal with it at all and I felt so unhappy and anxious. I’d ignored it and just tried to cope. But I knew that at some point, I had to learn from it.”

“It’s at times like that you ask yourself, ‘What is left?’” adds vocalist Sam Carter. “As a group of friends, we had to find something.”

“Ultimately, there were two choices,” Dan says. “Feel sorry for yourself and believe the world to be a horrible place and let it defeat you. Or let it inspire us to live the life that Tom would have wanted us to live. I was very worried about people taking away a despondent message from the album. I felt a level of responsibility to provide a light at the end of the tunnel for people who are going through terrible experiences.

“For me, broadly speaking Holy Hell is about pain: the way we process it, cope with it, and live with it,” he concludes. “There is value in pain. It’s where we learn, it’s where we grow.”

The tracklist for Holy Hell is as follows:

1. Death Is Not Defeat
2. Hereafter
3. Mortal After All
4. Holy Hell
5. Damnation
6. Royal Beggars
7. Modern Misery
8. Dying To Heal
9. The Seventh Circle
10. Doomsday
11. A Wasted Hymn

Déjà un nouveau clip. Y a plus de chant qu'avant.

Un court docu sur le groupe et "l'après Tom-Searle" et leur concert au Alexandra Palace

L'album est pas génial (au moins 5 titres oubliables, 3 petites tueries, et 3 morceaux "pas mauvais mais ...") mais le groupe est toujours aussi populaire.

Et en attendant, une chorale a repris le titre Doomsday, c'est plutôt très joli
