Metalcore giants Architects return with a new single, “Machine” – European tour with Korn kicks off soon

Architects, one of the most popular metal bands of the moment, released a new single, “Machine,” and a music video today via Epitaph.

Written by vocalist Sam Carter and drummer Dan Searle—and produced by Searle—the song takes the band’s sound to the next level by combining stunning, intense melodies with massive choruses, which have helped the band cement its status as one of the genre’s top acts.

Directed by Jensen Noen, the music video explores perception and control, shifting from an earthy reality into an increasingly abstract and distorted world.

Architects embody continuous evolution and demonstrate how the boundaries of heavy music are being pushed to new heights without forgetting their roots. The band has come a long way from its humble beginnings playing in Brighton pubs to touring stadiums around the world with Metallica and Linkin Park, and subsequently to headlining their own arena tours and topping the charts. In Finland, the band has already performed twice this year: at the Ilosaarirock Festival and at the Helsinki Ice Hall earlier this year.

Architects will soon join Korn on their European tour. Check out all the tour dates and the music video below.
