Release Notes:

You could waste a lot of time, breath and adjectives trying to pinpoint what Architects
sound like. You could take forever musing on the specific influences of every musical
nuance while struggling to tuck the quintet into a neat, convenient pigeonhole. You
could even spend your time intellectualising why the band are good, spouting hyperbole
and meaningless genre tags. Or, you could deal with the simple, primal fact that
Architects just blew your goddamn mind. And yeah, they’re only 18. Formed in Brighton,
England in 2004, Architects have spent their short time together focused on the things
that really matter for an upcoming band: the music, the songs, the killer riffs -
choosing to steer well clear of image-centric posturing, hair extensions and online
pouting. Drawn together by a love of heavy metal, noise and hardcore, Architects -
guitarists Tim Hillier-Brook and Tom Searle, drummer Dan Searle, bassist Ali ‘Ali Dean’
Dean and vocalist Matt Johnson – have already made a considerable name for themselves
on the UK underground. Racking up shows alongside the likes of Nile, God Forbid, Napalm
Death, Johnny Truant and Beecher, the quintet have left punters nationwide gobsmacked
and practically frothing at the mouth with their jaw dropping technical proficiency and
undeniable songwriting stones. But now, with the completion of debut album
‘Nightmares’, the hour has arrived for Architects to take the next step. Brutal,
complex and utterly uncompromising, ‘Nightmares’ – due for release via In At The Deep
End Records in May 2006 - is a little short of a masterclass in modern metal.
‘Nightmares’ driving grooves, jarring discordance and bursts of haunting, epic mood
will delight and devastate, involve and indulge, compel and astound – its arrival
marking the beginning of something truly special. So forget your rhetoric and let
Architects lead you into their gloriously unsettling world.
