Seen them 5 times, met them 3 times, got a tattoo dedicated to Tom on my shoulder. Even tho I don’t dig the new music, I’m so proud of my boys and will always support them. Good fucking job lads
These dudes played the first show I saw when I was a depressed, miserable & angsty sophomore moving from the Bay Area to B.F.E. Idaho. A couple locals, Every Time I Die, Architects(UK) and Bring Me The Horizon. ETID was/is my fav band, ended the night Moshing with Oli, however architects had the best set of the night by far. On top of that, he gave a few pre-banger motivational sentiments that really helped me get out of the funk I was in. Kudos to y’all for sticking through all the bullshit, half-baked criticism and tough times and losses and keeping the scene relevant to so many people around the world. Your time and dedication is super appreciated and def doesn’t go unnoticed. Fuck the haters. I think it’s safe to say that Y’all are doing very well by Tom. 🤘🏼 Cheers from Boise
I remember seeing these guys play hollow crown back in the day as architects(UK) lol one of the best shows I’ve ever been too. So many bands in the scene probably don’t even know the influence Architects had on their music. So awesome to see their success.
i always put architects on the highest regard in my favorite band. follow them from late ruin era and then to the hollow crown to the The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit era, it's been a journey, honour, and sad moment to see them get to this point. Tom will be proud for what they doing right now. thats the things tom always dreaming about. give all my respect to all of them and crew that always give the music to share with.
What a guy! 🖤There's nothing fake about him, he's intelligent, funny, kind, you can clearly see he's a good genuine person. On top of that, he's one of the best vocalists of the scene in one of the most successful bands of the scene. Really just a pleasure to know people like that exist. 🤘🏻
The When We We're Young lyrical breakdown section of the interview was really meaningful. Not trying to praise myself but I began writing down three things I'm grateful for each morning to start my day, and it really has set the tone of my headspace for each day. Gratefulness is an ongoing characteristic I am steadily trying to integrate into my life and I think it would help humanity as well.
In substance abuse recovery, they specifically teach/encourage people to do exactly what you're doing - consciously make an effort to recognize things they're grateful for. It really helps.
Even though I'm not the biggest fan of their new direction, I still love these guys, and just how great they are as people. I'm glad that they're happy making the music that they like, despite some people not being onboard with it.
Got teary eyes when Sam mentioned "...Tom's last riffs.." ... Been listening to this band for a while, I remember having a bootleg cd of their ruins /hollow crown albums 😅
My main thing with Architects is they are just now, in the last 3-4 years, becoming the kind of band that’s constantly evolving. Breaking the mold that is metalcore and modern metal. Love to see it, new Dayseeker record is similar in approach. Both of them have a new mold breaking viewpoint, and both bands have a very refreshing take on their strengths.
Architects are the GOATs of Metalcore. They are what got me into Metalcore, which eventually took me down a path to discover bands like Periphery and Veil of Maya. I am forever grateful!! 🤘🏻
Not a metalcore fan I love Periphery's Marigold and It's Only Smiles Then I watched Architects' Animals video Only like Metalcore bands when they are trying something new like Trivium and Light the Torch
@@DadCore yeah, it’s totally subjective, and actually probably a reach for sure (now that I think about it). Architects are just my favorite. There are MANY great Metalcore bands from the early 2000s (and even late 90s) that I’m sure MANY people would put above Architects. I just think Architects entire discography (minus the most recent stuff) is amazing and very influential to modern Metalcore.
@@christiandauz3742 I love a LOT of Periphery, but my all time favorite (for some reason) is “The Bad Thing.” I know a lot of Metalcore bands aren’t doing anything new or “different”, but it’s just my favorite sound for whatever reason. I really like a band that can mix great melody/catchy choruses with heavy riffs. I’m not a guy that is ALL about just HEAVY/unique. I’m very guilty of liking many Metalcore songs that a lot of people would probably label “generic” such as “Death (Ever Colder)” by Bury Tomorrow (still one of my favorite Metalcore bands even with a new clean vocalist).
I’ve been a fan since FTTWTE as I discovered them when I was 13. I loved that record initially but went back and listened to their whole discography. I’m so happy that I have followed them into tcoabs era but my all time favourite albums are aoghau, lf//lt, daybreaker and holy hell. They are masterpieces and the lyrics are insane. So much emotion. They’re my favourite band and always will be. I saw them twice at the tcoabs record signings in London and I also saw them for the first time at the London Biffy Clyro show on Saturday! It was crazy. It was so good that I have also booked a flight for Germany to see them in January.
Funny, I found your 1st channel later 2019/early 2020 and not until the 4th or 5th time you mentioned "the doomsday riff" did I listen to it and fall in love with Architwcts. Thanks for turning me on to my new fave band!
Solid interview! Been a fan of these guys for almost 13 years and I genuinely do not understand the hate for the new album. Everything they release is significantly different than their past albums.
Great interview, Finn. Been following these guys since Hollow Crown. Saw them play with Parkway over a decade ago. The journey the band had to take with Tom was equally heartbreaking as it was inspiring. Putting death into art is the heaviest form of heavy. David Bowie did it with Blackstar and Architects did it for Tom with Holy Hell. To be let in on such a impactful series of moments and emotions is extremely bold, and it’s why I put these guys high on my list of greatest to ever do it. Props for the interview.
I am in the minority but I didn’t jump onto the Architects wagon until FTTWTE and absolutely love that album and the new one. I enjoy Holy Hell as well but everything before that is a little too heavy for me. This new direction is great and I like that they are back to having fun making music and writing songs they enjoy. Keep it up guys!
@@Henry14arsenal2007 I agree. I also got into them off of FTTWTE (because of the feature on Spiritbox's album) and gave Holy Hell a listen once and thought it was a little too heavy. Then once I had listened to FTTWTE a decent amount and really processed it, I gave Holy Hell another shot and loved it. But I listened to AOGHAU and THAT was a little too heavy. Until I got familiar enough with Holy Hell and gave AOGHAU another try. Repeat for LF//LT, Daybreaker, etc. now AOG is probably my favorite but I really like the new stuff too. I still can't really get into those first couple though.
@@lpodyssey0768 I dont get it when people call something too heavy, youve already crossed that line if youre listening to any Architects song or similar bands, its only a matter of discerning different melodic/rhythmic elements and unique styles now, but not a matter of heaviness.
@@Henry14arsenal2007Listening to deep fake or animals and listening to Nihilist or Naysayer are not comparable in terms of heaviness. The latter two are so much more chaotic and abrasive, and will never be enjoyed by someone who can't handle heaviness. I found your comment odd.

Loved this interview, Sam is so kindhearted. Can't not love him 💕
Great interview. Sam as always, you seem like a real gent, and an inspirational human. Finn thanks for doing such an excellent interview. Me and my wife and kids love the band and actually started following you after FTWWTE but have listened to the entire back catalog, we're coming to see you at download and can't wait. Love the energy of the new stuff and looking forward to your future work, keep experimenting and enjoying doing what you do.
Architects helped me through the death of my grandmother. They’re always something that connects with me emotionally. That emotion is what defines the band for me. Great band.
This is a great interview. I like how candidly Sam speaks about their transitions as a band, and how fans hate on music for not being what they expected. I remember an old Eddie Vedder interview when they released some more upbeat music in 2009, and they received criticism for going away from the sound that made them popular. Eddie said something like, I am not sad like I was - I've got a great woman, 2 daughters, etc. I am going to sing about where I am now, bot where I was 15 years ago. That's kind of where Sam and the boys are now, and I've got to respect the journey. Cheers mates, keep it going!
Fantastic interview. I honestly connect with the newer albums more than the old ones, lyrics and sound. Having lost family members myself. Music is completely subjective, people just can't comprehend that.
Really been diving into all of their discography recently and the progression of their sound is amazing. Loved this interview and the questions were top notch and really interesting. Been a big fan of your channel for awhile and it opened up my views on music in general, but first time listening to one of these interviews. Great job, feels like there aren't enough of these types of deeper conversations in the metal realm of music.
That’s the thing I hate about the metal community, those close minded unsympathetic elitists. They think everything they say is right and could care less of how their words will affect Sam and the rest of the band over losing their brother. I honestly hope they have a life changing experience where they can see how hateful they were and change their ways. Nobody deserves to have that shit brought up and rubbed in their face. Rip Tom and bless the band ❤
@@djentrification1631 he said ''metal community'', that community doesnt care/listen/talk about architects at all, shoul've said coreshit poprock community
I'm so annoyed that I didn't get a notification for this video, but I'm so incredibly stoked that this happened! I love Sam, I love Finn, I love Architects. The new album is great, I love it!
Great interview this. Finally catched them live on Saturday opening for Biffy Clyro and they were incredible. Brilliant live presence & energy with a great stage and light setup, one of the best live sets I’ve ever seen. Remember first hearing them with Day In Day Out back in the day and to see where they are now after all the ups & downs they’ve had is great to see. P.S. Sam’s a Man United fan so he has great taste!
@@AvengedA55A55INBrilliant mate, you'll have a blast. Fourth time seeing them for me and they were as good as any other time I've seen them, really nice setlist with a mix of old & new. Architects blew the roof off, such a heavy & powerful performance from them and got the crowd going really well. You'll love it mate, really wish I could get to another show on the tour 🤘🏻
@@jakeparker6610 Awesome I'm looking forward to it I've always known a few Biffy songs and always thought they'd be a good band to go see live. Them Bringing Architects on tour was the perfect excuse as they're one of my favourite bands it'll be my 3rd time seeing Architects.
Found you guys in 2023, been going to shows since the 70's, 1st time I heard you guys I was Speechless. Done did all the current medal bands Slipknot, Bad Omens, Bring Me To The Horizon, Falling in Reverse. This bands fucking amazing.
nice chat! I remember architects releasing The Here & Now in 2011 and then they kind of disowning it for whatever reason. i feel a bit of connection betweeen that record and the last 2, I wonder if they changed their minds about it; loved the thrice/thursday vibes it had (& of course, the song with Greg Puciato)
The first time i heard Architects was at like midnight on Radio 1 on one of those ipods that had a radio. Ir was Heartburn and it blew me away then Daybreak came out and i was completely hooked ever since
I agree so much with your point of the metal scene, not being emotionally progressive or even attempting to deal with their emotional, mental problems. I actually see that a lot. I wish people would realize how important your own emotional and mental health is for everything in your life
great interview ! At one point, my amazon music library had some of their music under "Architects" and then some of their music was under "ArchitectsUK" and I always wondered what was up with that. Crazy that it was bc of some little band in kansas. It's also really sad that people brought up the death of their friend. Messed up.
I have the utmost respect for Sam and the Architects boys 🧡 I like the new direction, if I want to listen to an album like AOGHAU or Lost together then I might as well just listen to those albums 🤷🏻♀️
The thing with people bringing up how Tom would feel about their direction clearly didn’t watch Architects two hour breakdown video on For Those That Wish To Exist. Tom was pushing to go industrial and experimental. Tom would be loving their new direction. I for one love these two records immensely.
Thank you Fin for this interview. Really helped me in away, could you do an interview with A Ghost Inside when you have a chance in future? Anyway congratulations for the baby.
Wow metal fans can be so horrible. people forget musicians are human sometimes. In a way it’s almost flattering because music touches people so deeply it invokes overreactions to change. Not to say that level of cruelty is ever justified. Thankfully catering to close mindedness is only one facet of the scene and there’s tons of places you can take metal, and if it’s good work in general it’s going to appeal to someone most of the time. Especially when you already have a name. The 2018 djent obsessers just gonna have to keep doomsday on repeat 🤷♂️ ❤️ great interview Finn.
I'll admit to not being a fan of their new direction as a sound in the slightest. However, I appreciate Sam's candor and openness about their change. The brightside of old bands changing is that it's forced me to listen to new, younger bands who still preserve that sound like Boundaries, Dying Wish, and Forgetting the Memories
I personally loved the record! A few songs aren't my cup of tea, but, overall, I love the trajectory and evolution of this band. Thank you Architects for TCSOABS. ❤️
I'd never even think about posting something like that :( I'd never have the gall to comment something so unfair. Tom was their brother and friend, so even as a fan I wouldn't even come to think to know better what Tom would like about their new stuff or not. I personally love seeing them moving on and heal from such a devastating loss, one I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to go through. I bought the last two albums and enjoyed them. Nobody forces anyone to listen to and like their new music. Just get on with your day, grow up and stop being insensitive, unfair assholes already!
I watch all of these interviews and some of the bands I don't even know at all, but I have found a few new bands from it and the questions are usually interesting. Not just the usual PR crap but things that even I would wonder and want to ask.
Not the Carter I was thinking about but I'll give it a shot. Just for you, Finn....SFxHC... the other architect a lot heavier in a American broke way both good bands though....rip Aaron Carter...get frank Carter
Love the Architects, saw them in London earlier this year at alexander palace! Did you ever checkout their support act 'Sleep Token' out Finn? mentioned in comments ages go.
Well and then I guess I’m stranger yet: I don’t enjoy For Those That Wish To Exist, but I think in terms of lyrical themes? That could be Architects best record; however I can’t get ENOUGH of, “the classic symptoms of a broken spirit.” It’s a fuckin line drive 🙌🏼 Lyrically “for those that wish” contrasted cold, unfeeling, mechanical things, and then the very human side of that, but I don’t think they achieved reflecting that musically. Meanwhile, they accomplished both on, “classic symptoms,” (it felt more mechanical and more human) the record hit musical and vocal boiling points that the prior didn’t, and Sam’s vocals were more dynamic than ever before in his career (mind blowing: vocalists usually start dynamic and become less and less dynamic with time). On Spotify I took, “classic symptoms,” and I sequenced in, “Dying Is Absolutely Safe,” and, “Animals,” as those were the only two I was crazy about on, “for those that wish,” and with those added it’s like the ultimate fuckin record. It’s toe to toe with any of the most powerful material off of, “All Our Gods.” So if most people love, “for those that wish,” and are pissed at, “classic symptoms,” then I’m confused. I don’t love one nor am I pissed at the other; however, I don’t enjoy, “for those that wish,” and I’m crazy about, “classic symptoms.”
I disagree with that comment about metalcore not having any deep lyrics. August burns red since Constellations album, has had some deeper lyrics. Just my 2 cents. Great video though and glad you got a good interview with him.
Goddammit such a stellar interview Finn. Just felt so heartwarming to watch the entire time and to hear about Tom so much again. Love your vids man. Love from WeenukPlude
We can't escape the reality that most of the time bands are gonna outgrow their own fans. And they'll definitely gonna say something about that, and usually with not so cool words. In one hand it's understandable since we can't deny that some of them are actually loving the bands and their earlier music. But it still sucks when they're decided to talk shit about it. Maybe it has something to do with the "identity" Thing you've been talking about recently. They put certain bands as part of their identity, and when those bands decided to change their music a little bit. Some people might just feel like they've been betrayed.
I think men especially use music as an emotional crutch because we're taught not to show emotions. I've had to use it to help process emotions during difficult times. I feel sad and sometimes disappointed when a band I've loved for years has evolved in a way where their newer material doesn't hit me the same way their older material does. I can understand someone being upset with how a band has changed, but that doesn't make it okay to be an asshole to anyone about it.
I wonder where that guy in the comments of Nik's video who complained that Nik was too nice and seemed to think Finn is the kind of asshole who'd talk shit about Sam's music to his face is now
I don't really like the last 2 albums but, man, saying shit like "Tom would be disappointed" is just awful. I don't understand why some people think that the entire world owes them something.
This is my biggest gripe with Architects: -Sam Carter says everything the band does is for Tom -Plays two Tom Searle songs live nowadays. This band is turning 20 next year. Bring back the old songs instead of this overproduced filler crap with like 3 great songs on each album. Tom deserves it and songs like Devil's Island will always be infinitely more important than Dead Butterflies. Don't be full of shit please. I tell everyone about this band and fanboy hard and I expect to see some actual respect for Tom Searle when they had such classic songs with him. Josh is amazing in Sylosis but ultimately Tom is what made the band what it is
Another weather fetishist, yawn. The politicians who talk about it most are buying beachfront property, that should be a sign. I'm an environmentalist and frequently assist in trash cleanup in my neighborhood and tree planting and such and I'm far more concerned with pollution than things warming up, the trash in the pacific and the rivers in China and India are appalling.

Sam seems like a real dude, I love Architects and their music a lot.
The whole reason I got into Architects is that the band has substance. They have a message they don't just make songs about themselves.

Found you guys in 2023, been going to shows since the 70's, 1st time I heard you guys I was Speechless. Done did all the current medal bands Slipknot, Bad Omens, Bring Me To The Horizon, Falling in Reverse. This bands fucking amazing.
As an OG architects fan I am so stoked to watch this
Fans can be really pathetic and entitled. I remember when eminem got sober and released an album people were saying they wish he was still on drugs.
people were the same with BMTH too when they released thats the spirit
Yes finn! You got Sam on👌🤟
nice chat!
I remember architects releasing The Here & Now in 2011 and then they kind of disowning it for whatever reason.
i feel a bit of connection betweeen that record and the last 2, I wonder if they changed their minds about it; loved the thrice/thursday vibes it had (& of course, the song with Greg Puciato)
That album got me through the Alexisonfire breakup. I was missing the post-hardcore sound and that album is what introduced me to Architects.
The first time i heard Architects was at like midnight on Radio 1 on one of those ipods that had a radio. Ir was Heartburn and it blew me away then Daybreak came out and i was completely hooked ever since
I love this interview. Thank you so much, Sam and Finn.
I agree so much with your point of the metal scene, not being emotionally progressive or even attempting to deal with their emotional, mental problems. I actually see that a lot. I wish people would realize how important your own emotional and mental health is for everything in your life
great interview ! At one point, my amazon music library had some of their music under "Architects" and then some of their music was under "ArchitectsUK" and I always wondered what was up with that. Crazy that it was bc of some little band in kansas.
It's also really sad that people brought up the death of their friend. Messed up.
I have the utmost respect for Sam and the Architects boys 🧡 I like the new direction, if I want to listen to an album like AOGHAU or Lost together then I might as well just listen to those albums 🤷🏻♀️
Exceptional Interview Finn, very forward conversation and great questions🤘🏻
The thing with people bringing up how Tom would feel about their direction clearly didn’t watch Architects two hour breakdown video on For Those That Wish To Exist. Tom was pushing to go industrial and experimental. Tom would be loving their new direction. I for one love these two records immensely.
This is a great interview! Thank you
That was a fantastic interview
Met Sam once and he was a lovely bloke
Thank you Fin for this interview. Really helped me in away, could you do an interview with A Ghost Inside when you have a chance in future? Anyway congratulations for the baby.
Wow metal fans can be so horrible. people forget musicians are human sometimes. In a way it’s almost flattering because music touches people so deeply it invokes overreactions to change. Not to say that level of cruelty is ever justified. Thankfully catering to close mindedness is only one facet of the scene and there’s tons of places you can take metal, and if it’s good work in general it’s going to appeal to someone most of the time. Especially when you already have a name. The 2018 djent obsessers just gonna have to keep doomsday on repeat 🤷♂️ ❤️ great interview Finn.
as i grow older, i have grown to just love good music and architects new material is objectively good.
I'll admit to not being a fan of their new direction as a sound in the slightest. However, I appreciate Sam's candor and openness about their change. The brightside of old bands changing is that it's forced me to listen to new, younger bands who still preserve that sound like Boundaries, Dying Wish, and Forgetting the Memories
I personally loved the record! A few songs aren't my cup of tea, but, overall, I love the trajectory and evolution of this band. Thank you Architects for TCSOABS. ❤️
Awesome guy
I'd never even think about posting something like that :( I'd never have the gall to comment something so unfair. Tom was their brother and friend, so even as a fan I wouldn't even come to think to know better what Tom would like about their new stuff or not. I personally love seeing them moving on and heal from such a devastating loss, one I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to go through. I bought the last two albums and enjoyed them. Nobody forces anyone to listen to and like their new music. Just get on with your day, grow up and stop being insensitive, unfair assholes already!
I watch all of these interviews and some of the bands I don't even know at all, but I have found a few new bands from it and the questions are usually interesting. Not just the usual PR crap but things that even I would wonder and want to ask.
I love the new record and Sam seems like a really nice guy to me
Not the Carter I was thinking about but I'll give it a shot. Just for you, Finn....SFxHC... the other architect a lot heavier in a American broke way both good bands though....rip Aaron Carter...get frank Carter
Love the Architects, saw them in London earlier this year at alexander palace! Did you ever checkout their support act 'Sleep Token' out Finn? mentioned in comments ages go.
Well and then I guess I’m stranger yet: I don’t enjoy For Those That Wish To Exist, but I think in terms of lyrical themes? That could be Architects best record; however I can’t get ENOUGH of, “the classic symptoms of a broken spirit.” It’s a fuckin line drive 🙌🏼 Lyrically “for those that wish” contrasted cold, unfeeling, mechanical things, and then the very human side of that, but I don’t think they achieved reflecting that musically.
Meanwhile, they accomplished both on, “classic symptoms,” (it felt more mechanical and more human) the record hit musical and vocal boiling points that the prior didn’t, and Sam’s vocals were more dynamic than ever before in his career (mind blowing: vocalists usually start dynamic and become less and less dynamic with time). On Spotify I took, “classic symptoms,” and I sequenced in, “Dying Is Absolutely Safe,” and, “Animals,” as those were the only two I was crazy about on, “for those that wish,” and with those added it’s like the ultimate fuckin record. It’s toe to toe with any of the most powerful material off of, “All Our Gods.”
So if most people love, “for those that wish,” and are pissed at, “classic symptoms,” then I’m confused. I don’t love one nor am I pissed at the other; however, I don’t enjoy, “for those that wish,” and I’m crazy about, “classic symptoms.”
I disagree with that comment about metalcore not having any deep lyrics. August burns red since Constellations album, has had some deeper lyrics. Just my 2 cents. Great video though and glad you got a good interview with him.
Isn't the "A Match Made In Heaven" an original "Doomsday riff"? It was one record earlier.
I love U Sam and the Band u r so real and humble and greatfulllllllll
Total legend
I'm not a Architects fan at all, but I love the content of this interview. Sam seems like a cool dude.
I love sams tattoos
wow! Amazing!!!
Goddammit such a stellar interview Finn. Just felt so heartwarming to watch the entire time and to hear about Tom so much again. Love your vids man. Love from WeenukPlude
Can you check out this band called UNDERSIDE
We can't escape the reality that most of the time bands are gonna outgrow their own fans. And they'll definitely gonna say something about that, and usually with not so cool words. In one hand it's understandable since we can't deny that some of them are actually loving the bands and their earlier music. But it still sucks when they're decided to talk shit about it. Maybe it has something to do with the "identity" Thing you've been talking about recently. They put certain bands as part of their identity, and when those bands decided to change their music a little bit. Some people might just feel like they've been betrayed.
I think men especially use music as an emotional crutch because we're taught not to show emotions. I've had to use it to help process emotions during difficult times. I feel sad and sometimes disappointed when a band I've loved for years has evolved in a way where their newer material doesn't hit me the same way their older material does. I can understand someone being upset with how a band has changed, but that doesn't make it okay to be an asshole to anyone about it.
I wonder where that guy in the comments of Nik's video who complained that Nik was too nice and seemed to think Finn is the kind of asshole who'd talk shit about Sam's music to his face is now
Why the fuck would you talk to shit to the person you're interviewing 💀💀, that kind of mindset is so bizarre
Haha that tower records joke went right over.
I don't really like the last 2 albums but, man, saying shit like "Tom would be disappointed" is just awful. I don't understand why some people think that the entire world owes them something.
Still refuse to acknowledge that 'The Here and Now' was an album they released.
i was a fucking asshole! keep up bois!
This is my biggest gripe with Architects:
-Sam Carter says everything the band does is for Tom
-Plays two Tom Searle songs live nowadays.
This band is turning 20 next year. Bring back the old songs instead of this overproduced filler crap with like 3 great songs on each album. Tom deserves it and songs like Devil's Island will always be infinitely more important than Dead Butterflies. Don't be full of shit please. I tell everyone about this band and fanboy hard and I expect to see some actual respect for Tom Searle when they had such classic songs with him. Josh is amazing in Sylosis but ultimately Tom is what made the band what it is
Another weather fetishist, yawn. The politicians who talk about it most are buying beachfront property, that should be a sign. I'm an environmentalist and frequently assist in trash cleanup in my neighborhood and tree planting and such and I'm far more concerned with pollution than things warming up, the trash in the pacific and the rivers in China and India are appalling.
What the actual fuck ?? How dare Sam not even mention that the addition of Josh Middleton didnt have an effect on the sound and grow the audience???
Dead Swans
Finn is blackpilled
Blech
Interview Keith From Hell, lead singer to ARCHITECT. A more interesting individual and a better band.
Objectively false. Architects are the greatest band to exist.
