Architects Announce New Album, “For Those That Wish to Exist”
Architects have announced they will release their ninth studio album, For Those That Wish To Exist, on February 26 via Epitaph Records. This is the band’s follow up to their 2018 release, Holy Hell, which focused around losing a bandmate, brother and best friend, Tom Searle, the group’s founding guitarist.
The self-produced, 15-track record hands between energizing positivity and a paralyzing negativity of defeatism.
“This album was me looking at our inability to change to a way of life that would sustain the human race and save the planet,” summarizes principal songwriter Dan Searle. “I wanted to look in the mirror and ask ourselves the question of what are <we> going to do, as opposed to trying to point the finger at politicians. Change has to start on a personal level. The world has developed a culture of wanting someone else to deal with it, when we need to take our own responsibility. It has to start there.”
The band shared a first glimpse with the first single, Animals. Check the video out below.
