Alright, buckle up, folks, 'cause Architects just dropped a grenade with "Seeing Red." Picture this: a molotov cocktail of tech metal brilliance that's not just another track, it's a head-on collision with their roots. Sam Carter's spittin' venomous lyrics that slap you awake from the haze of expectation, screaming, "I'm no bulletproof saint, I'm a broken machine."
The track itself? It's a beast, a skull-crusher with riffs that'll make your bones vibrate. But hey, it's not just about the song; it's about the whole package. Drummer Dan Searle whips up a minimalist video that's raw, just the band against a black canvas, hammering out this sonic onslaught.
And if that's not enough to get your blood pumping, hold onto your seats 'cause they're hitting the road. Yeah, you heard me right. Architects are storming through North America like a hurricane, stopping by Toronto, Brooklyn, Chicago, and more. Oh, and guess what? They're warming up for none other than Metallica. Yeah, you read that right, too. Metallica.
Now, "The Classic Symptoms Of A Broken Spirit"? That's the cherry on top. Released last year, it's a metalcore masterpiece, incorporating electronic twists that'll have you headbanging and contemplating life at the same damn time. And they ain't done yet. They're not just a band; they're a force to be reckoned with, selling out arenas, topping charts, and still finding time to kick out tracks that redefine what heavy music's all about.
Sure, they've had their share of challenges—a heckler crashing their set, losing a guitarist—but they've persevered, paying homage to their journey while blasting forward with an unapologetic roar.
So, if you're into music that punches you in the gut and makes you think, Architects is your jam. "Seeing Red" ain't just a song; it's a declaration. And you best believe, it's gonna leave you breathless.
