JOINING KORN AS SPECIAL GUESTS ON 2026 EUROPEAN & UK ARENA TOUR
Chart-topping, British metalcore icons ARCHITECTS are currently gearing up to headline Download Festival‘s Opus stage in just two months, following the release of their 2025 album, The Sky, The Earth & All Between. Taken from the album is their powerful and infectious single, ‘Broken Mirror‘, which showcases ARCHITECTS at their most dynamic.
‘Broken Mirror‘ ebbs and flows between delicate verses – where Sam Carter‘s passionate vocals take centre stage and highlight his impressive range – and soaring, hard-hitting choruses that lean into the band’s unmistakable heaviness. Designed for massive sing-alongs, the song balances vulnerability and force in equal measure.
Directed by Jensen Noen, who also helmed the band’s striking ‘Black Hole’ visual – which racked up nearly 8 million views in less than a year, the ‘Broken Mirror‘ music video plays out like a dark, cinematic short film. The narrative follows Carter as he undergoes brutal militia-style training, building toward a tense and visceral firefight that mirrors the song’s emotional intensity. Gritty, moody, and visually arresting, the video balances raw vulnerability with explosive action, capturing the internal struggle at the heart of the track.
The band released the ‘Broken Mirror‘ video following ARCHITECTS’ first-ever #1 at U.S. Active Rock Radio with ‘Everything Ends’. Both tracks appear on their 11th studio album, The Sky, The Earth & All Between (Epitaph Records), which has surpassed 90,000 album units sold, marking a significant milestone in the band’s continued growth.
| Produced by Jordan Fish (Bring Me The Horizon, Poppy, House of Protection), the album has earned widespread acclaim for its ambitious soundscapes and dynamic songwriting. Loudwire named it one of the Best Albums of 2025, praising it as “a no-skip listen,” while Kerrang praised the band’s ability to continue delivering “both quality and quantity” eleven albums into their career. Metal Hammer echoed the sentiment, noting the record’s “stadium-metal ambitions of 2022’s The Classic Symptoms Of A Broken Spirit with some of the heaviest and straight-up angriest music the band have made in years,” and hailing it as“a record that fans of every era could love.” From their early days playing pub shows in Brighton to sharing stadium stages with Metallica and Linkin Park, ARCHITECTS have consistently pushed the boundaries of heavy music. The Sky, The Earth & All Between represents a bold evolution, fusing ferocious energy, intricate melodies, and emotional depth. More than two decades into their career, the band continue to evolve while retaining the ferocious intensity that first defined them. |
