The group will also revealed a new single “Seeing Red”
Next year, Architects are returning to North America. The group announce Monday plans for a full headlining run along with very special guests Of Mice & Men and While She Sleeps. The run kicks off on May 2 at Rebel in Torono, Ontario and wraps up on May 18 at Royal Oak Music Theatre in Detroit, Michigan. Check out the full tour itinerary below.
The group also revealed a brand new single, “Seeing Red.” It is their first new piece of material since their last album, 2022’s The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit. The record shot straight to No. 1 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart. Stream the official music video for “Seeing Red” below.
In addition to their own headlining dates, Architects will be appearing at the colossal Welcome to Rockville festival next May in Daytona Beach, Florida alongside Mötley Crüe, Foo Fighters, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, and many more.
Of Mice & Men released their eighth studio album Tether October 6 through SharpTone Records. Led by the single “Warpaint,” it is the follow-up to 2021’s Echo. Produced by the band themselves, Echo spawned six singles. It marked the band’s first release via SharpTone after their departure from Rise Records.
Back in May, Architects announced the departure of guitarist Josh Middleton. The band announced the news after wrapping up a brief run with Metallica in Europe with a performance at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Denmark on May 26.
Middleton joined Architects in 2017. He stepped in for founding member and principle songwriter Tom Searle, who passed away the previous year after a long battle with skin cancer. He played lead guitar and served as a producer on the band’s last three studio albums – 2018’s Holy Hell, 2021’s For Those That Wish to Exists, and 2022’s Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit.
Architects will rejoin Metallica next summer for more shows across Europe as part of the latter band’s M72 World Tour.
