September 18 street date. Since their formation in late 2004, quintet ARCHITECTS have been on a continual ascendancy from the depths of the UK’s metal and hardcore underground to leaders of the scene. In the course of 2015 the modern classics "Ruin", "Hollow Crown", "The Here And Now" and "Daybreaker" of British metal/hardcore will be finally released on vinyl for the first time ever. The band’s unique trademark mixture of anthemic hardcore, complex metal riffing and inimitable groove and heaviness demands and deserves it. ARCHITECTS were unanimously hailed by media and fans as UK’s brightest hope in metal, played every renowned festival worldwide and have enrichened the heavy music scene of today immensely. "Here And Now" is a crushing blend of technical metal, melodic hardcore and thundering grooves and is now available as 180g LP+CD edition!
May 27 street date. ARCHITECTS are a band who’ve never shied away from challenging the world around them. Long lauded as some of modern metal’s most progressive-thinking minds, for the past decade, the quintet have pushed boundaries, redefined genres, and never feared having to question themselves in order for their art to leave its mark on this Earth. ARCHITECTS, are a band like few others; The quintet all practice a vegan lifestyle, tour with a consciousness about their footprint on the world, and devote time and energies to environmental causes. Their 7th studio album, All Out Gods Have Abandoned Us is the heaviest and darkest work to which the band have ever put their name, both on and below its surface. “To me, All Our Gods… is about getting to the root of the dysfunctions and disillusionment that cause all of this mess, be it personal or political or environmental,” says ARCHITECTS guitarist and principle songwriter, Tom Searle. ARCHITECTS lineup also includes Tom’s twin brother Dan on drums, Sam Carter on lead vocals, guitarist Adam Christianson and Ali Dean on bass. For the follow-up to their 2014 album Lost Forever/Lost Together, ARCHITECTS returned to Gothenburg’s Studio Fredman and the production team of Fredrik Nordström and Henrik Udd and it was they who would once again be entrusted to help translate the tracks penned by Tom Searle into a reality.

February 26 street date. Architects are back with their ninth studio album "For Those That Wish To Exist". The band have confirmed their ascent to the very upper echelons of British heavy music.

A versatile metal group based out of Brighton, England, Architects employ a lethal combination of breakdown-heavy guitars, melodic vocals and symphonic-ambient post-metal. That sonic delivery is conducted from a platform built on veganism and environmental activism.

March 25 street date. Architects' new album captures a historic live stream performance event at the iconic Abbey Road studios: spiritual home to legends like The Beatles and Pink Floyd. Dubbed "For Those That Wish To Exist at Abbey Road", the album features a reimagined orchestral version of their masterpiece album "For Those That Wish To Exist", backed by their friends in the Parallax Orchestra, the well-respected UK based orchestra made up of some of England's best and most versatile classical musicians, arranged and written by Simon Dobson, Parallax Orchestra's conductor and a three times British Composer award (BASCA) winner for his compositions.

It's a very special place; I still can't quite believe we were able to create there".
