Einer der derzeit angesagtesten Metal/Rock Bands ARCHITECTS verkünden für den 09.11.18 ihr achtes Studioalbum "Holy Hell“ auf Epitaph.
Passend zur Albumverkündung, steht das Video zu dem Song "Hereafter" auf der offiziellen Webseite bereit.
Bei „Holy Hell“ handelt es sich um das erste Release, seit dem tragischen Tod von Tom Searle, Gitarrist, Gründungsmitglied und Zwillingsbruder des Schlagzeugers Dan, der das Album zusammen mit dem Gitarristen Josh Middleton produzierte
“In those first months after Tom’s death, I didn’t deal with it at all and I felt so unhappy and anxious,” kommentiert Dan. “I’d ignored it and just tried to cope. But I knew that at some point, I had to learn from it.”
“It’s at times like that you ask yourself, ‘What is left?’” fügt Sänger Sam Carter hinzu. “As a group of friends, we had to find something.”
“Ultimately, there were two choices,” erklärt Dan . “Feel sorry for yourself and believe the world to be a horrible place and let it defeat you. Or let it inspire us to live the life that Tom would have wanted us to live. I was very worried about people taking away a despondent message from the album. I felt a level of responsibility to provide a light at the end of the tunnel for people who are going through terrible experiences.”
Finding a way forward, the band spent six months from the Fall of 2017 through the Spring of this year recording what would become the 11-song album, with Dan and guitar player Josh Middleton handling production.
Dan dazu: “For me, broadly speaking Holy Hell is about pain: the way we process it, cope with it, and live with it. There is value in pain. It’s where we learn, it’s where we grow.”
