Artist: ARCHITECTS
Album: DAYBREAKER (CD)

Year: 2012
Media type: CD

Ripened in Brighton and driven by a passionate endeavor for a fresh, intense metal sound, Architects (UK) set out in 2004 when Tom and his drummer brother Dan gathered some eager and like-minded guys around them. They released their fierce debut album, 'Nightmares,' in 2006. A schedule of nonstop touring saw the band mature and evolve whilst carving out their fan base in the UK. Their following albums 'Ruin,' 'Hollow Crown' and 'The Here And Now' put the Brighton quintet on the map of modern metal and saw their music spread across the globe. On 'Daybreaker,' Architects (UK) flex their considerable muscles: From the moodily brooding, antithetic opener “The Bitter End”, the furious, uncompromising rawness of “Alpha Omega” and “Even If You Win, You’re Still A Rat” (guest vocals by Oliver Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon) to the down-tuned brute force of “These Colours Don’t Run”, the heart wrenching “Truth Be Told” and the eerie, ethereal “Behind The Throne” (Tom: “We have never done a song like this before.”). The album closes with the bittersweet final crescendo “Unbeliever”... you will have to look thoroughly for a metal album as dynamic and versatile as 'Daybreaker.'
