Everyone is talking about them. Brighton quintet Architects are back and they’ve got a lot to share.

Architects‘ eighth studio album Holy Hell, the follow up to 2016’s All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, was released last Friday November 9th, and has already racked up plenty of praise. The opening track Death Is Not Defeat is the fourth single to get the visual treatment.

The video follows a dark atmosphere; much like the singles prior. This one mirrors the cover art of Holy Hell beautifully with a reflective kaleidoscope, with the band members fitting centrally. It follows the song progression in the most interesting way, morphing at heavier breakdowns and fading during the softer vocal moments.

You can witness the visual wonder below.

The group will be embarking on their biggest-ever European/UK headline tour early next year; including appearances at several arenas.
