Lyrics
I do my best but everything seems ominous
Not feeling blessed, quite the opposite
This shouldn’t feel so monotonous
It never rains but it pours
We’re just a bunch of fucking animals
But we’re afraid of the outcome
Don’t cry to me because the fiction that we’re living in
Says I should pull the pin
Should I just pull the pin?
I dug my heels
I thought that I could stop the rot
The ground gave way
Now I’ve lost the plot
Fucked it again
That was all I’ve got
It never rains but it pours
Life is just a dream within a….
Buried under dirt
A diamond in the mud
Infinity is waiting there
‘Cause nobody can burn a glass cathedral
….dream within a dream within a….

Architects and Ally Pally are.... A Match Made in Heaven.

[@the_alpha_not_male]

[@Cyber_Chriis]

Nice one!

[@Blaarkable]

No, this is Animals

[@Chrisdaman01]

Holy hell thats a good pun

[@almightyf.ckup27]

Animals live is just fucking awesome! Loved the energy!

[@gorgewashington1216]

more than rammstein one ?

[@almightyf.ckup27]

@@gorgewashington1216 I don’t go to Rammstein shows. Not quite sure what the comparison is all about.

[@clamstermcwinkle2514]

It’s like rammstein and linkin park had a British baby.

[@M3ilo]

i feel that, love all of those bands

[@andre77coelho]

Best definition, EVER! 😂😂😂

[@MsHodgey]

And didn't suck like the other two bands you listed yes.

​@@MsHodgeywe will kill because of this comment

[@sawnmiwe1460]

Yeees my two fav bands growing up

[@Thgrandfinale]

I'll be dying pretty mad if I don't get a chance to see this band live, they're so INCREDIBLE

[@SuyAwee]

nice profile pic.

[@dariosabbatini6411]

I'll see them in june here in italy😍😊

[@no_way_to_exist]

They used to be incredible. With Tom.

[@linker94]

@@no_way_to_exist yeah, im glad i saw them like 4 times with him, not really interested in them nowadays. Gonna remember those times with a smile

[@Thgrandfinale]

dudes, show them respect. it's ok if you don't love them anymore or as much as you do, but remember they're humans

[@IamLunam]

Broke my leg early on in the set. This sounded phenomenal from the medical tent 😂

[@flowerfloc]

This was my first ever architects gig, and first metalcore show in general, travelled to the UK from the Netherlands. It was the best night of my fucking life, gosh I wish I could be back at this show again. Hope you guys are back in The Netherlands soon for some standalone shows besides festivals! Y'all saved my life. T//S

[@Bugga-Ray-Dudley]

Weren’t they just in the Netherlands?

[@thomasregterschot7371]

​@@Bugga-Ray-Dudley yeah at den bosch i was there

[@Bugga-Ray-Dudley]

@@thomasregterschot7371 as soon as I see them coming to the U.S I’m gonna buy myself some tickets. I’m they’ve quickly become my favorite band in like the last year

[@SterreStorm]

@@Bugga-Ray-Dudley The vibe in ally pally was SO MUCH better than their NL gig though, I felt sorry for them because of the lack of crowd participation there

[@Kuk0san]

They're back in NL on 26th April for Metallica's tour

[@stasysmikutavicius4158]

The way the crowd sings is something out of this world. Especially on the part Animals

[@ebuprofen]

You do understand that this is heavily edited video and sound? Not the real live sound, well, real but edited and tuned 😢

[@Holz5675_]

​@@ebuprofen He sounds exact the Same live, saw them in Germany this year and the Crowd was also extremely loud, Just Like in this video

[@beepboop7543]

More than 10 years ago I saw BMTH, Parkway Drive, Architects, and TDWP all one on tour. All of those bands are now gigantic, and still producing incredible music. Exceptionally grateful to have seen Architects live and know they're still kicking harder than ever.

[@Narvie04]

I can't think of many live performances that sound almost identical to the studio version, but this is definitely one of the best I've seen.

[@OjStudios]

Was just thinking about how all of their mixes are so damn good!

[@Pete90125]

Tapes like Kiss🤔

[@canadademon]

And the crowd shouting "pull the pin" adds an extra haunting element :P

[@brandonanderson2066]

There's a lot of production after the initial recording I'd guess. Sounds good.

[@briansullivan1927]

im 53 yrs. old i love this band, these guys can do no wrong...they can do no wrong. change my mind.

[@MatDeCesare]

Make sure you listen to their album “Hollow Crown”. It’s a masterpiece in my opinion.

[@itzred8]

Do if they were raping little kids, you'd think that would be okay? Lol

[@toxic4dr355]

Last album is wrong. And a bit of FTTWTE

[@mato8494]

@@toxic4dr355 nope is not wrong

[@SergiuCrisan]

Who the hell mixed this live ? it sounds sooo damn good and punchy

[@Blackhoodie85]

Live sound in general has gotten so much better in recent years, I swear. I mean, it definitely depends on the venue - you'll almost never get good sound at a festival. But at a gig like this, especially if you have a dedicated team to set up/sound check/record everything proper, you can get some very decent recordings.

[@brisk_eventide8347]

New live album please, Abbey Road was sick 😍

[@Shanto-LIVE]

I love that bands like Architects get to fill these huge venues now. So great to see this genre grow since we were kids.

[@dinokovac]

2:51 that’s me on the left in the white t shirt🤘🏼 best show ever🖤

[@MKAK47]

Why does this sound better live than on Spotify??

[@arminwalland]

yeah this an outstandingly good live recording...impressive

[@davidecavicchioli263]

live songs are always better than studio, so much emoitions but need a lot of prep and mixing

[@mbliga1]

I can’t remember how I found this band, but the day I did something changed inside me.

[@MatDeCesare]

Although I’m not much a fan of their musical endeavors these days(been with them since Ruin), these guys once wrote music which will forever hold a special place in my heart. Watching them continue to push forward and find success makes me incredibly happy for them. RIP Tom 🖤 Never forget.

[@JakeMcGarryDrums]

Can't agree more, hope they are happy with what they're creating and find the success they ultimately deserve even if I don't agree with their music direction

[@mcroni13]

The thing is that, whatever kind of music they are producing now, nobody can take away their greatness live. I also grew out of them in the last years, but they are my top 3 bands I have seen live, for sure.

[@MatDeCesare]

@@mcroni13 Oh without a doubt. These guys have never failed to show the utmost dedication to their craft over the years. And honestly, I think a lot of that comes from their roots. In their younger years they were a highly technical metal band, meaning they had no choice but to nail down demanding parts. And Sam? Sam is, without question, an S-tier vocalist. If you go back and watch his performances on say, the NeverSayDie Tour, his vocal dexterity was *unparalleled* especially when you *understand* his old vocal style. He relied entirely on his false-cords, meaning he was legitimately shouting at the top of his lungs throughout their entire set, night after night, as well as having the cardio of a professional athlete. Fast forward to present day, after fucking white-knuckling through the emotionally catastrophic loss of their friend and brother, Tom, they kicked into overdrive and pushed forward, smashing the glass ceiling most metal bands bounce off of… Long story short, not many people understand just how truly special Architects was/is. Their story is the epitome of the human experience, and I wish them nothing but good health, fulfillment, and success. If anyone deserves it, it’s them.

[@athameteam]

Never could get into them, what would you consider be their best work?

[@JakeMcGarryDrums]

@@athameteam IMO it's All Our God's Have Abandoned Us or Lost Forever // Lost Together... its all before Tom died and the lyrics are heavy hitting along with the instruments, it truly is their best work, even into Holy Hell which was post Tom's death, really really heavy stuff that kept that sound tho

[@murielleburr]

I will never not like Architects, whatever they do they'll always have my back ❤

[@ash3344]

I haven't seen Architects live for YEARS! I bet this song live absolute kills.

[@AvengedA55A55IN]

Still the best concert I’ve been to wish I could experience it again! So much energy will never forget it. Hopefully they’ll release the whole show at some point they filmed all of it.

[@VersionOneUK]

Whether you like their new direction or not, you cannot deny how goated these boys are live... Top TOP tier stuff. Songs a banger too

[@wetcereals]

This is truly amazing, I've been a huge fan of these guys for years now. I really hope I'll be able to see them live one day.

[@misfitmaik6213]

I can't wait to experience a Architects show again, they are incredible, you go through all sorts of states, mostly headbanging, crying, headbanging again. Love u❤❤❤
