Architects have unleashed their latest single "Brain Dead" from their forthcoming 11th studio album "The Sky, The Earth & All Between". Released on February 26, 2025, the track features a powerful collaboration with House of Protection, incorporating former FEVER 333 members Aric Improta and Stephen Harrison. The song masterfully fuses metalcore intensity with raw punk energy, delivering a devastating sonic assault.

Under the production expertise of Jordan Fish, renowned for his work with Bring Me the Horizon, "Brain Dead" emerges as a searing commentary on contemporary social issues. Vocalist Sam Carter reveals the track's thematic core addresses societal tribalism and the perpetual struggle for coexistence despite differences. The song's confrontational chorus, highlighted by the pointed question "Is the world done f**king around?", perfectly encapsulates its uncompromising message. House of Protection's contribution amplifies the track's aggressive nature, seamlessly blending scuzzy hardcore elements with innovative hyper-pop textures.

The impact of "Brain Dead" has been immediate, securing the #49 position on UK iTunes and making notable appearances across international charts, including Slovenia and Australia.

With "The Sky, The Earth & All Between" set to drop on February 28, 2025, Architects are preparing for an extensive European tour launching in March. The journey will take them through France, Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal, alongside special album release performances across the UK in Kingston upon Thames, Bristol, and Brighton. Supporting acts We Are Brutus and Guilt Trip will join the band, adding to the tour's formidable lineup.

As Architects continue their sonic evolution, "Brain Dead" stands as testament to their unwavering commitment to innovation. Building on their impressive history of supporting legendary acts like Metallica and commanding festival stages, the band is positioned for another breakthrough moment. Their upcoming role supporting Linkin Park's world tour further cements their status as a leading force in modern metal.
