外文名：Architects 国籍：英国 成立时间：2004年 成员：Dan Searle（鼓，打击乐）、Sam Carter（主唱）、Alex“Ali”Dean（贝斯手，键盘，打击垫）、Adam Christianson（吉他手，和声）、Josh Middleton（吉他手，和声） 代表作品：《Lost Forever//Lost Together》 简介：Architects是一支来自英国东萨塞克斯郡布莱顿的金属核乐队，由双胞胎兄弟 Dan 和 Tom Searle 于 2004 年创立。乐队目前由鼓手 Dan Searle、主唱 Sam Carter、贝斯手 Alex Dean 和吉他手 Adam Christianson 组成。他们自 2013 年起与Epitaph Records签约。 受到The Dillinger Escape Plan等乐队的强烈影响，他们的前三张专辑的声音粗糙、混乱、节奏复杂。2011 年，Architects以The Here and Now朝更具旋律性的后硬核方向发展，疏远了部分粉丝。第二年，他们以Daybreaker回归原来风格，在引入更具政治性的歌词的同时建立了旋律和技术粗糙度的平衡。随着 2014 年第六张专辑Lost Forever // Lost Together的发行，乐队获得了持久的人气和评论界的一致好评。 2016 年，在他们的第七张专辑《All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us》发行后不久，吉他手兼主要词曲作者 Tom Searle 在与皮肤癌抗争三年后去世，Dan Searle 成为唯一的原始乐队成员。2017 年 9 月，乐队发行了单曲“ Doomsday ”，这是他去世前创作的最后一首歌，并宣布 Middleton 为他们的新主音吉他手。这首单曲收录在Holy Hell中，这是他们在没有 Tom Searle 的情况下录制的第一张专辑，于 2018 年 11 月发行。他们的第九张录音室专辑For Those That Wish to Exist于 2021 年发行，并成为他们在英国专辑榜上的首张冠军专辑。它的后续作品和他们最近的专辑《The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit》于 2022 年 10 月发行。 从艺历程：Architects are a British metalcore band from Brighton, England, formed in 2004. The band currently consists of lead vocalist Sam Carter, drummer Dan Searle and his twin brother, guitarist and keyboardist Tom Searle and Alex Dean on bass guitar. The band went through several name changes before they decided upon Architects. Their first name was Inharmonic, which was swiftly changed to Counting the Days. After a couple of years this was in turn changed to Architects. They have released five studio albums and one split ep with Dead Swans. They released their debut album Nightmares in 2006 on In At The Deep End records. After the departure of the original vocalist, Matt Johnson, Carter joined the band and made his first appearance on Architects' second album Ruin released in 2007 through United By Fate records. In 2009 the band released Hollow Crown through Century Media records. They then released their fourth album The Here And Now in 2011, which showed the band step in a more melodic "clean-cut post-hardcore" direction. Upon its release the album received critical acclaim but was panned by their fanbase. The next year Architects returned to their original style with their fifth album Daybreaker, with more politicised lyrics as opposed to the violent and comedic lyrics that can be heard throughout their older work. Their sixth album Lost Forever // Lost Together is being released on March 10th (UK & EU)/March 11th (US) 2014 through Epitaph Records. The band members are currently all vegan. They all became vegan after watching several documentaries on the subject.
