Architects have announced their eleventh studio album ‘The Sky, The Earth & All Between’.
Alongside the news, the band have shared new single ‘Whiplash’. The track, written by Sam Carter and Dan Searle and produced by Jordan Fish, i accompanied by a video shot in Slovenia, directed by Specter.
‘Whiplash’ follows previous singles ‘Seeing Red’ and ‘Curse’, and marks a shift in direction for the band, as drummer Dan Searle explains: “Whiplash marks the beginning of a new era for Architects. It is a song that speaks of tribalism, of a deepening chasm that lies between human beings based simply on opinions and beliefs. It gave us the opportunity to explore these concepts in a way that we haven’t before and for the first time in a while it gave us fuel to write something truly ferocious.”
Speaking about the video, Searle adds: “We’ve long admired Director ‘Specter’ for his work with Rammstein so it was a pleasure to bring him in for this song to create something for us. His visual concept gave life to the words in a unique way that may create more questions than answers, but sometimes that’s the beauty in art.”
Vocalist Sam Carter shares: “We’re so happy to be back and to be releasing a song that we love so much, it’s us at our very best and we think it’ll be a fan favourite.”
The album will be released on 28th February.
