2018’s Holy Hell was a true triumph for Architects. Featuring hits such as “Doomsday,” “Hereafter” and “Royal Beggars,” the album marked an evolutionary period for the band following 2016’s All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us.
Now, Architects are back after nearly two years with their surprise new single “Animals,” which highlights the existential crises we deal with in life. Architects have also dropped an ominous video, directed by drummer Dan Searle, for the new single which truly showcases their growth and creative development as a band.
“We’re just a bunch of fucking animals,” Sam Carter sings on the new track. “But we’re afraid of the outcome. Don’t cry to me because the fiction that we’re living in says I should pull the pin.”
