Architects are a British hard rock and metal band from Brighton, formed in 2004 by twin brothers Dan and Tom Searle. The current lineup includes Sam Carter (vocals), Dan Searle (drums), Ali Dean (bass), and Adam Christianson (guitar). Initially known for their chaotic and rhythmically complex sound, Architects transitioned toward a more melodic and expansive style with their release of Lost Forever // Lost Together (2014), which was their first release with Epitaph Records. Tragedy struck in 2016 with the passing of guitarist and co-founder Tom Searle, but the band continued in his memory, releasing Holy Hell (2018), an album defined by grief, resilience, and emotional depth. Architects reached new heights with For Those That Wish to Exist (2021), their first UK #1 album, followed by the classic symptoms of a broken spirit (2022) & The Sky, The Earth, & All Between (2025).
