Holy Hell [NAD25]
Limited edition pressing for National Album Day 2025.Architects, the Brighton-based outfit Kerrang recently awards the title of "Best British Live Band" and The Guardian said feature "gloriously crafted anthems of defiance," return with their eighth album, Holy Hell, out now via Epitaph RecordsHoly Hell marks the band's first release since the untimely passing of Tom Searle, Architect's founding guitarist, principal songwriter and twin brother to drummer Dan. "In those first months after Tom's death, I didn't deal with it at all and I felt so unhappy and anxious," Dan explains. "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."Finding a way forward, the band spent six months from the Fall of 2017 through the Spring of this year recording what would become the 11-song album, with Dan and guitar player Josh Middleton handling production. "For me, broadly speaking Holy Hell is about pain: the way we process it, cope with it, and live with it," Dan offers. "There is value in pain. It's where we learn, it's where we grow."

the classic symptoms of a broken spirit
Indies exclusive LP is on 'eco mix' coloured vinyl.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."
