British metalcore giants Architects will release their 11th studio album, “The Sky, the Earth & All Between,” on Feb. 28, 2025, via Epitaph Records. The band also has revealed the third single from the project, “Whiplash,” produced by Jordan Fish (ex-Bring Me the Horizon). Pre-order/pre-save the album here.
A cinematic video for “Whiplash” shot in Slovenia accompanies the release. “We’ve long admired director ‘Specter’ for his work with Rammstein, so it was a pleasure to bring him in for this song to create something for us,” drummer Dan Searle said. “His visual concept gave life to the words in a unique way that may create more questions than answers, but sometimes that’s the beauty in art.
“‘Whiplash’ marks the beginning of a new era for Architects. It is a song that speaks of tribalism, of a deepening chasm that lies between human beings based simply on opinions and beliefs. It gave us the opportunity to explore these concepts in a way that we haven’t before and for the first time in a while it gave us fuel to write something truly ferocious.”
Vocalist Sam Carter said: “We’re so happy to be back and to be releasing a song that we love so much. It’s us at our very best, and we think it’ll be a fan favourite.”
Architects released the first single from the album, “Seeing Red,” December in 2023 and the second single, “Curse,” in April 2024. Those songs have combined to amass more than 70 million streams to date.
Since their last studio album in 2022, “the classic symptoms of a broken spirit,” Architects have toured extensively, most notably as one of the personally chosen support acts on the Metallica tour, as well as appearances at Louder Than Life, AfterShock, Mayhem, Download and a headline slot at Bloodstock Festival. They also just announced a handful of dates in support of Linkin Park next summer.
