Watch Architects Perform “Animals” On The Biggest Of Stages

The last few years have been absolutely exceptional for Architects. Taking the step up from being one of modern metalcore’s most celebrated bands to being a total metal behemoth in their own right, off the back of 2021’s For Those That Wish To Exist and 2022’s the classic symptoms of a broken spirit, the band have never looked so unstoppable.

And you only have to look at the footage they have just uploaded, taken from their sold-out show at London’s Alexandra Palace last year, just to see how they have cemented their place at the very top. That footage is of their curtain-closing track, “Animals”, the crushing industrial banger that kickstarted the FTTWTE era and a top 10 track on US Active Rock Radio. A gargantuan song on record alone, but when Architects perform it live, it takes on a whole new level of bludgeoning. And when that brutality is being delivered in front of 10,000 rampant fans, it feels all the more powerful with singalongs, crowd-surfers, and moshpit swells aplenty. Such a perfect storm of emotion and electricity makes for a moment that will live long in history for all those there, and a spine-tingling watch for those able who wished they were now.

So sit back, relax and enjoy. It is an absolute spectacle:
