Global metal heavyweights Architects return today with the release of their brand-new single, ‘Machine,’ available now via Epitaph. Serving as the group's first fresh output since their critically acclaimed eleventh studio album, The Sky, the Earth & All Between, the track signals a compelling next step in their musical evolution.
Penned by Dan Searle and Sam Carter and produced by Searle, ‘Machine’ sees Architects expanding their sonic boundaries even further. The composition seamlessly weaves soaring melodic passages with raw intensity, culminating in the kind of explosive chorus that has firmly established the band among the premier forces in modern heavy music. Accompanying the release is a striking music video directed by Jensen Noen, which delves deep into themes of perception and control as it transitions from a grounded reality into a surreal, distorted landscape.
The arrival of ‘Machine’ builds upon a period of remarkable momentum for the band. The Sky, the Earth & All Betweenmarked the beginning of an impactful chapter, yielding consecutive #1 singles at Mainstream Rock Radio in the US with ‘Everything Ends’ and ‘Broken Mirror’. This success was further validated by an iHeartRadio Music Award nomination, reinforcing their rising prominence across the global music landscape.
Architects' path to this point reflects an extraordinary arc of growth. Moving from intimate pub gigs in Brighton to sharing massive stadium stages alongside iconic acts like Metallica and Linkin Park, as well as headlining their own arena tours, the group has consistently pushed the limits of heavy music while keeping their core identity intact.
On the heels of an extensive run of high-profile live shows throughout recent years, Architects are now gearing up to head back out on the road, joining Korn as special guests on their highly anticipated UK and European arena tour.
