Album Description
Available in:
"Holy Hell" is the eighth full length studio album by British metalcore band Architects. It was released on 9 November 2018 on the Epitaph label. It is the follow-up to the band's previous album All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, and is the first recorded without founding member and main songwriter Tom Searle, following his death in August 2016.
User Album Review
Holy Hell is the most overwhelmingly brutal Architects album to date, a release that eclipses Lost Forever // Lost Together and All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us in terms of pure, unrestrained catharsis. Advance tracks “Doomsday”, “Hereafter”, and “Royal Beggars” have hardly been designed to lull Architects fans into a false sense of security, but they do not represent Holy Hell at its most savage. Sub-two-minute song “The Seventh Circle” is this album’s harshest wakeup call, the point at which Sam Carter secures his status as one of metal’s all-time vocal icons.
It’s impossible to overstate how crucial Sam Carter’s vocal performances are to every song on Holy Hell. The rest of the band are equally consistent, performing perfectly from start to finish, but Carter is the ultimate focal point, completely possessed by blisteringly coherent, precisely focused rage. Over and over again, whether ruminating, grieving, or repeatedly stating that “all is not lost” on hopeful closer “A Wasted Hymn”, Sam Carter ensures that you will not leave this album feeling doubtful about his band’s tenacity, authenticity, and willpower.
This is not an album you can split into A-sides and B-sides. The whole thing is a highlight in itself. Holy Hell deserves to be consumed in its entirety; cherry-picking a few cuts and leaving the rest would mean discarding entire chunks of a modern metal landmark. A masterpiece. A long-playing tribute to a life cut tragically short, and a genius whose influence will live on for decades to come.
