British heavyweights Architects are back with a relentless new single, ‘Brain Dead,’ featuring House of Protection—the latest glimpse into their highly anticipated 11th studio album, The Sky, The Earth & All Between, dropping this Friday, February 28 via Epitaph Records. Just days after surprising fans with ‘Everything Ends,’ which revealed a more vulnerable side to the band, ‘Brain Dead’ flips the script with a volatile mix of punk attitude and crushing intensity.

ARCHITECTS REVEAL NEW ALBUM ‘THE SKY, THE EARTH & ALL BETWEEN’ + RELEASE NEW SINGLE & VIDEO
The mighty Architects today announce their plans to release a new studio album titled ‘The Sky, The Earth & All Between’ Via Epitaph on 28th February, 2025. They also reveal the third single from the album, titled ‘Whiplash’ (Written by Sam Carter & Dan Searle/Produced by Jordan Fish). The track just received a Hottest Record premiere on Radio 1.
A cinematic video shot in Slovenia accompanies the release, Dan Searle says “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.
