Personally I think Greaf and Grayera together would be otherworldly
Personally I’d love to hear more of Sam’s low screams. There’s a little bit on FTTWTE and I had fun looking for them.
I’d also really like some more guitar solos from Josh considering how great his band Sylosis is.
Mouth of the Architect was a band I found by accident on a website and purchased "The ties that blind" then turned to be one of my favorite bands.
They went out to Seattle to record this album in 2006 in the summer I believe and I think Mastodon already finished up Blood Mountain at this time. Brent sings a part on this album on the song "At arms length"
I can't find much info then this. I was thinking both these bands were in the same studio but I'm unsure or for some reason Brent was still in Seattle and somehow got with this band for this recording...anyone know?

Look I get it that some of the metalcore community isn’t happy with the new direction Architects went in and that’s completely fine. You can call it bland, boring, butt rock, unoriginal, or whatever it is. I’m a fan of the new album and really enjoyed the new music and I’ve been listening to them since Lost Forever // Lost Together but all because I like the new album doesn’t mean I’m going to bring others down who don’t like the new album.
What I don’t like is folks who say “Tom would be disappointed”. These comments are so disrespectful and rude to him and the band. You don’t know what Tom would want and you don’t speak for Tom or the band. Don’t use Tom as a way to validate your negative opinions on the album. Also who are we to speak for Tom when his own twin brother, Dan is still involved in the music making process with Architects. Many people have chimed in how Tom said he was wanting to take Architects on a more industrial approach in the future and it sounded like that’s what Adam, Dan, Sam, Alex, and Josh did. Whether you like it or not, that’s fine but don’t speak for Tom or say you know how he would feel.
When I say I'm a casual listener, I really mean it. I'm a huge BMTH fan and in this post, I'm gonna draw a lot of comparisons to them so heads up. I'm a fan of BMTH's entire discography except for their super early deathcore stuff but I was never super into Architects besides a couple of songs. Doomsday was actually the song that introduced me to the band and I found a few songs from their previous albums that I enjoyed such as Gravedigger, Daybreak, and a few songs from The Here and Now. I know people don't like that album, but I heard Sam Carter's cleans on The Sadness Will Never End from Suicide Season and I really like them.
I got into BMTH when I heard That's The Spirit and I worked my way back through their discography and fell in love with almost all the albums.
For Those That Wish To Exist has the potential to greatly increase Architects audience and make a bunch of new fans.
I know I am gonna now go and listen to Holy Hell, All Our Gods Have Abandonded Us, Lost Forever // Lost Together, and Daybreaker. (I actually like a lot of songs from The Here and Now already).
I like this album because I'm NOT an architects fan and so I just appreciated it for its music and it might be hard if you're used to a sound (I hated amo) but this album has the potential for architects to become exponentially more popular.
TL;DR This album could people like me want to go and discover a lot of Architects' previous music and become fans.
I hope what I said makes sense, and apologies if I offended any of you true fans!
For Those That Wish to Exist, is releasing in 2 months. I can’t wait that long. I’ve listened to Bring Me the Horizon, Asking Alexandria and etc. I need more bands that sound intense like architects. Can you hit me up with some ideas?!
This is my album of the year nominee and I’m just curious if anyone else feels the same and what your interpretation is of the album.
