CD Architects – For Those That Wish To Exist

Architects return with their ambitious seventh studio album, For Those That Wish to Exist, released via Epitaph Records in 2021. This release marks a pivotal evolution for the band, traversing the bridge between their metalcore roots and a grand, arena-ready sound. By blending trademark heavy riffing with polished production and glossy synth-and-string layers, Architects have crafted an expansive listening experience that leans into melodic songwriting and existential themes.

The album signifies a shift toward more accessible, hook-driven compositions. While the band’s signature intensity remains, it is now balanced by soaring clean-vocal choruses and stadium-sized energy. Exploring ecological concerns and human fragility, the record showcases a band unafraid to redefine their sonic identity for a global stage.

Key Tracks:

• "Dead Butterflies" – An emotive highlight showcasing the album’s orchestral depth.
• "Meteor" & "Little Wonder" – Catchy, sing-along anthems designed for the masses.
• "Goliath" – A powerful blend of the band’s melodic shift and rhythmic weight.
• "Discourse Is Dead" – A nod to their traditional metalcore surge and raw energy.

Whether you are a longtime follower or a newcomer to their sound, this CD release represents a bold new chapter for one of modern metal’s most influential acts.
