<h3 class="wp-block-heading">METALCORE</h3>



<p><strong>&#8222;Holy Hell&#8220; wurde damals richtig abgefeiert. Völlig zurecht wohlgemerkt.</strong> Nun haben <strong>ARCHITECTS (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/architectsuk">Facebook</a> ) </strong>aus England jüngst am <strong>26.02.2021</strong> den Nachfolger &#8222;<strong>For Those That Wish To Exist</strong>&#8220; veröffentlicht. Scheinbar hatten die Jungs eine sehr kreative Phase, denn das Album platzt mit <strong>15 Songs</strong> fast aus allen Nähten. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Der Postcore-Charakter</h3>



<p>ist auf dem neuen Album <strong>erheblich ausgeprägter </strong>als auf dem Vorgänger. <strong>&#8222;Holy Hell&#8220; war von rabiater Wut und Aggressivität geprägt. &#8222;For Those That Wish To Exist&#8220; besitzt mehr ruhige und viele melodische Phasen, die jedoch bereits auch auf &#8222;Holy Hell&#8220; zu hören waren, wie z.B. das Streicherensemble und die melodiösen Gesangslinien. </strong>Wer also ein puristischer Metalcore-Fan des Vorgängeralbums ist, wird allerdings vielleicht nicht so großen Gefallen daran finden, den hier bewegt sich der Sound auch mal abseits des Metalcore.</p>



<p><strong>Auf die brachialen Ausbrüche</strong> im Sound und im Gesang, die dem Hörer entgegengeschmettert werden,<strong> muss aber nicht verzichtet werden </strong>und kommen zu genüge vor. So sollte man auch den Fans der ersten Stunde gerecht werden. Die <strong>erste Single &#8222;Animals&#8220; überzeugt durch Kraft und Melodie gespickt mit ruhigeren Momenten. </strong>Ein wirklich geiler Track!</p>

</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mehr Erinnerungen</h3>



<p>an das <strong>Vorgängeralbum</strong> kommen allerdings noch mehr bei anderen Songs auf. Da wären z.B <strong>&#8222;Libertine&#8220; </strong>oder <strong>&#8222;Imparmenece&#8220;</strong>, bei dem <strong>Gastsänger Winston Mc Call von PARKWAY DRIVE</strong> seine dunkle Stimmgewalt einbringt. Auch<strong> beim Track &#8222;Black Lungs&#8220;  lässt man die Wut wieder heiß aufkochen. </strong>Aber auch hier kommen die Harmonien im Chorus nicht zu kurz. Fantastisch finde ich auch die schon bekannten und von den ARCHITECTS gern genutzten <strong>Konzertstreicher</strong>.</p>

</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Auf eine intensive Atmosphäre</strong></h3>



<p>scheinen <strong>ARCHTITECTS bei diesem Album besonders Wert gelegt zu haben. </strong>Dies wird durch verschiedene Elemente erreicht. <strong>Dafür sind teils die ruhigeren Phasen verantwortlich, so wie der cleane melodiöse Gesang und die sphärischen Synthies.</strong> Ich finde dieses Konzept mehr als gelungen und bietet ein <strong>sehr interessantes Hörerlebnis</strong>, dass <strong>nicht nur </strong>gnadenlos der <strong>Aggressivität </strong>freien Lauf lässt, <strong>sondern </strong>geschickt <strong>auch schöne Ohrenschmeichler </strong>einfließen lässt. </p>



<p>Der <strong>Song &#8222;Demi God&#8220; </strong>ist in dem Zusammenhang auf jeden Fall eine sehr interessante Nummer, die <strong>geradezu epische Züge</strong> aufweist. Hier wird mit<strong> Piano und orchestralen Klängen</strong> ein außergewöhnliches Klima erschaffen. Es ist ein ungewöhnlicher Song,<strong> geradezu progressiv für ARCHITECTS-Verhältnisse</strong>, den man so nicht von ihnen erwartet hätte. <strong>Mutig, aber genial!</strong></p>



<p>In eine <strong>ähnliche Richtung</strong> geht beispielsweise auch<strong> &#8222;Dead Butterflies&#8220;</strong>. Der Song kommt aber noch etwas wuchtiger und massiver daher.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fazit</h3>



<p><strong>ARCHITECTS leben ihr Faible für Melodien mit &#8222;For Whose That Wish To Exist&#8220; weiter aus.</strong> Was man ARCHITECTS zu Gute halten muss, ist der Umstand, dass sie nicht versucht haben, den sicheren Weg zu gehen und das Vorgängeralbum in seiner Art zu kopieren. <strong>Man hat </strong>Dinge daraus aufgegriffen, <strong>sich weiterentwickelt ohne seinen Wurzeln zu vergessen. </strong>Das ist eine Gratwanderung, die schwer zu meistern ist. Ich persönlich bin der Meinung, dass ARCHITECTS dies famos hinbekommen haben.<strong> Ein beachtlicher Balanceakt zwischen Vehemenz und Emotionen, dass manchmal aus dem Metalcore-Korsett ausbricht. </strong>Insgesamt betrachtet haben sie ihr gesamtes Soundmaterial mit einer tollen Vielfalt aufgewertet. Da können ARCHITECTS bei Live-Auftritten aus dem vollen schöpfen.</p>

<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">Review english</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">METALCORE</h3>



<p>&#8222;Holy Hell&#8220; was really celebrated back then. Quite rightly, mind you. Now <strong>ARCHITECTS</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/architectsuk">Facebook</a> ) from England have recently released <strong>the successor &#8222;For Those That Wish To Exist&#8220; on 26.02.2021.</strong> Apparently the guys had a very creative phase, because the album is bursting at the seams with <strong>15 songs.</strong></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Postcore character</h3>



<p>is considerably <strong>more pronounced on the new album</strong> than on its predecessor. <strong>&#8222;Holy Hell&#8220; was characterised by raving anger and aggression. &#8222;For Those That Wish To Exist&#8220; has very calm and many melodic phases, </strong>which could also be heard in rudiments on &#8222;Holy Hell&#8220;, such as the string ensemble and the melodic vocal lines. If you are a purist metalcore fan of the previous album, you might not like it as much, because here the sound moves away from metalcore.</p>



<p>However,<strong> the brute outbursts</strong> in the sound and in the vocals, which are hurled at the listener, <strong>are not missing and occur sufficiently.</strong> This should also do justice to the fans of the first hour. The<strong> first single &#8222;Animals&#8220; convinces with power and melody peppered with quieter moments. </strong>A really cool track!</p>

</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">More memories</h3>



<p>However, there are even more songs that remind us of the previous album. For example <strong>&#8222;Libertine&#8220; or &#8222;Imparmenece&#8220;, where guest singer Winston Mc Call from PARKWAY DRIVE contributes his dark vocal power.</strong> <strong>Also on the track &#8222;Black Lungs&#8220; they let the rage boil up again.</strong> But here, too, the harmonies in the chorus are not neglected. The concert strings are fantastic, which are already well known and which the ARCHITECTS like to use.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="video-container"><iframe title="Architects - &quot;Black Lungs&quot;" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W69ow97hqbI?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>On an intense atmosphere</strong></h3>



<p><strong>ARCHTITECTS seem to have attached particular importance to this album. </strong>This is achieved through various elements. <strong>The quieter phases are partly responsible for this, as are the clean melodic vocals and the spherical synths.</strong> I think this concept is more than successful and offers a<strong> very interesting listening experience </strong>that not only gives free rein to the aggressiveness, but also cleverly incorporates beautiful ear candy.</p>



<p>In this context, the<strong> song &#8222;Demi God&#8220; is definitely a very interesting number, </strong>which has almost epic features. <strong>Piano and orchestral sounds create an extraordinary atmosphere. </strong>It is an unusual song, almost progressive for the music of ARCHITECTS, which you would not have expected from them. <strong>Courageous, but ingenious!</strong></p>



<p><strong>&#8222;Dead Butterflies&#8220;</strong>, for example, goes in a similar direction. But the song is a bit more massive.</p>

</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fazit</h3>



<p><strong>ARCHITECTS continue to live out their penchant for melodies with &#8222;For Whose That Wish To Exist&#8220;.</strong> What you have to give ARCHITECTS credit for is the fact that they didn&#8217;t try to take the safe route and copy the previous album in its way.<strong> They</strong> have taken things from it, <strong>developed further without forgetting their roots. </strong>That&#8217;s a tightrope walk that is difficult to master. I personally think that ARCHITECTS have managed this brilliantly. <strong>A remarkable balancing act between vehemence and emotion that sometimes breaks out of the metalcore corset. </strong>All in all, they have upgraded their entire sound material with a great variety. ARCHITECTS will be able to draw on the full range of their live performances.</p>
