Biography
Architects are a British metalcore band from Brighton, formed in 2004 by twin brothers Dan and Tom Searle. Initially a chaotic mathcore act, they evolved their sound with the addition of vocalist Sam Carter. Their 2014 album, "Lost Forever // Lost Together," marked a critical breakthrough with its blend of technicality and melody. Following the tragic death of guitarist and principal songwriter Tom Searle in 2016, the band persevered, releasing the emotionally charged "Holy Hell" in 2018. They achieved their first #1 UK album with 2021's "For Those That Wish to Exist," cementing their status as a leading force in modern metal.
