Architects Fire Up the Machine

2026-09-17 by John Marinakis CONTRIBUTOR | 40 Comments
Architects have released Machine, a new single out through Epitaph Records.

Written by drummer Dan Searle and vocalist Sam Carter, and produced by Searle, the track marks the band's first new material since their February 2025 album, The Sky, the Earth & All Between.

The accompanying video was directed by Jensen Noen. It explores perception and control, gradually transforming a recognizable setting into an increasingly distorted, abstract environment.

Watch Machine below:




The release precedes Architects' upcoming arena tour supporting Korn across the UK and Europe. The run begins October 18 in Stuttgart and concludes November 21 in Milan, with stops including London's O2, Paris' Accor Arena and Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome.

All our gods have abandoned us? Yeah, no shit. They wanted to get as far away as possible from this garbage.

I don't know how OG fans could possibly enjoy the mainstream pop-core monstrosity the band has become. Talk about total alienation. I was never the biggest fan of Architects but I would be seriously depressed if I was.

It's no wonder Josh bailed on these fuckwits.

Crazy it’s been 15 years since these guys dropped anything that wasn’t just chasing the latest trends. Dead band is dead.

Only BMTH has remained somewhat interesting, which is funny, given that all of these bands are trying to be BMTH nowadays

Funniest thing is that they might be the most "interesting" but that's not saying anything really

They used to be so fucking good - first two albums they did are amazing and a couple that followed (especially Hollow Crown) were very solid.

It's a shame really because they are talented musicians.

RIP Tom Searle.

I don't really dislike it however there are parts of the songs esp the electronic parts that I find very lazy and boring. wtf really happened to these guys after Tom Searle passed away. Very mediocre song from a (once) legendary metalcore band.

Definition of mid. Can well established metalcore bands stop trying to be Bad Omens and Sleep Token already jfc its such a played out boring ass sound

Gotta shoehorn a breakdown in to let everyone know you're still hEaVy. Smdh this band fell off so unbelievably hard.

The song is cool, catchy light material and the breakdown is integrated pretty well. Here's my two cents.
