Press Release:

Ripened in Brighton and driven by a passionate endeavour for a fresh, intense metal sound, ARCHITECTS set out in 2004 when Tom and his drummer brother Dan gathered some eager and like-minded guys around them. ARCHITECTS released their fierce debut album “Nightmares” in 2006. A schedule of nonstop touring saw the band mature and evolve whilst carving out their fan base in the UK. Their following albums Ruin, Hollow Crown and The Here And Now put the Brighton quintet on the map of modern metal and saw their music spread across the globe.

While it takes other bands years to even write a record, ARCHITECTS released The Here And Now, wrote new albumDaybreaker”, toured the globe with their friends in Bring Me The Horizon, then headlined the UK twice and played countless high profile European festivals including Reading/Leeds, Rock am Ring/im Park, Nova Rock, Hellfest and Sonisphere, just to mention a few. Right after wrapping up the recording of “Daybreaker” they got back into the bus to be direct support for Rise Against and played in front of up to 10.000+ people a night. Even though the acclaimed The Here And Now got them daytime radio and TV rotation in their native UK, the band felt it was time to shed their collective skins and reinvent themselves with an amalgamation of their very best trademark. They felt it was time to make a bold statement. Daybreaker is that statement: a sweeping show of strength in terms of how intense, colourful, dynamic and multifarious modern metal can actually be.

Do not miss one of the most original and expressive acts in modern metal when they arrive on New Zealand shores for the very first time, supported tour-wide by local alternative metal masters NEW WAY HOME.
