Architects – Lost Forever // Lost Together

Brutal, dense and formidable, the sixth studio album by British metalcore band Architects won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but for fans of the band and the genre, Lost Forever // Lost Together won’t disappoint.

Architects have always been a bit different to most metalcore bands, standing out from the crowd with their incisive, political lyrics (the fact that all four members are vegan give some indication of the collective mindset) and this album will only further that perception.

Musically, this is an imposing work, pulling right back from the more melodic territory they were starting to dabble in a few years ago. (PH)
