Architects - Black Blood

[@alferelli65]

This is the archetypal Architects track. Has everything, beyond brilliant.

[@OYM43VER]

the guitar playing on its own is unique, the lyrics actually tell something different from others, the dude can fucking scream and the drummer doesn't do what every drummer does plus this song is sick as hell ! i dig it man.

[@heavenwhite5936]

so cool

[@mattcurtis5445]

I guess you haven't seen them live. Sounds like he definitely struggles for air

[@heavenwhite5936]

Matt Curtis really??? nevermind

[@mattcurtis5445]

Then you should know 'most' screamers don't struggle THAT hard. lel please

[@heavenwhite5936]

Chris cerulli doesn't struggle to scream. and he is always jumping around. (He's from motionless in white)

[@codeREDD]

When the well dried up! No one cared! But when hell shows up! They'll all stop and stare!

[@mviktor21]

Thanks for the free replay timestamp ;)

[@Sirinwara]

Architects is amazing because they are really different from other new bands. Their music is intelligent.

[@alexlikestea1]

they've been around since 2004...

[@Sirinwara]

Alex Weston Okay, they always sound fresh then

[@zackzore09]

TRUE

[@albertsuchan9366]

Alex Weston Although Nigthmares sounded like DEP

[@Sirinwara]

Albert Suchan I don't like Nightmares but since then their music has been amazing

[@4stringedninja]

Wow a metalcore band that actually know what the fuck they are doing, how about that. Great song, really impressed.

[@theAntilli]

Matau96 Been listening to the bastards all weekend. :3

[@occiferfigpucker4840]

Oh Sleeper.

[@tylerdurden2832]

1:19 has gotta be the greatest guitar riff of all time.

[@jeremiahbriney4899]

Fr reminds me of bmth the sadness will never end. This is why these types of songs are way better than rap

[@HNSthejypod]

[@davidesavio190]

Yes I would be so pumped if they played this in Seattle in march.

[@shabadabba]

Shane Federmeyer hey I was at that show. it was kick ass

[@ThePavel225]

[@rileyo2948]

We've found a taste for self-destruction A blind eye for blatant dysfunction We've found a taste for self-destruction We're all born in black blood There's an imminence stirring like a siren singing There's a debt to pay but they keep on drilling Why is simple truth so hard to tell We had eden and turned it into hell Born in black blood Because this distance in our minds Is the distance that we're behind I can't forgive, we won't forget I can't forgive, we won't forget The lonely sound of the final drip Like the starting gun marking the end of it On the shoulders of forever It's a long way to fall Black gold will be the death The death of us all Black drought, word will spread Of the time we found what the earth bled Born in black blood Because this distance in our minds Is the distance that we're behind I can't forgive, we won't forget I can't forgive, we won't forget [x2] Black drought, word will spread Of the time we found what the earth bled We found the cancer inside of our heads There's no turning back now We're as good as dead When the well dried up no one cared But when hell shows up, they'll all stop and stare [x2] We've found the cancer inside of our heads No turning back now We're as good as dead [x2] I can't forgive, we won't forget [x4] We won't forget

[@rileyo2948]

+Screep5 sorry about distrubing you, but i just wanna put it here for my own practicing :)

[@ChatmakGames]

Just discovered this song, it's quickly becoming one of my favourite Architects songs

[@thehousemaderobot]

ChatmakGames same! holy crap!

[@Meteor_pending]

They really need to start playing this live again!

[@tomforster6415]

denNicola they did!🙏🏻 they played it on their set during the last Europe tour!

[@anthonymonterosso7472]

This song followed by the devil is near lol that'll really get the message across

[@ericsahli]

This song goes so hard. Not just the riffs and stuff, but also the lyrics.

[@SuperWerdooo]

these guys should be so much more famous the are amazing!

[@occiferfigpucker4840]

Wait for it 😂

[@EverestJAJA]

Yup, they became very famous

[@misfit2022]

Great song. My mother passed away a few weeks ago and songs like this help

[@connerpollani4033]

Bless you, continue on with your head high and heart true.

[@Ladera1017]

these dudes are TOO FRICKING REAL. finally some metal i can truly get pissed with

[@StarsetFlight]

Bro, that fucking quick, tapping rift is orgasmic. Another brilliant song by Architects.

[@TheGamerZombiie]

architects at its fucking finest

[@jckphotograph]

Is there a word for "this feels so good on my ears?" You may be gone, but you'll live forever Tom. Thank you Architects.

[@nucl3arwolfyxgaming718]

I didn’t know this song existed when I bought Daybreaker. I now have both the original and deluxe versions because of this song.

[@theshitology]

Guys, you never disappoint. The song is mindblowing. I've been following you since Hollow Crown, and there is no song from you I'd skip! I am always looking forward to new releases. You guys are the best band in the world, please don't stop making music you're doing it good. Greetings from Slovakia!!

[@thegaze4201]

most underrated architects song in my opinion!

[@eddieyen7522]

The video design is FUCKING AWESOME!!! It seems very hard to make.

[@photon2669]

Eddie Yen Yes it is very hard and awesome like the song!!

[@richieasc]

More than how great their great music sounds, the message Architects bring with their songs is trully amazing. Bands like them contribute to another kind of conscience, to trully understand why we exist and how we can harm each other. This is brilliance in its pure state.

[@MFosse90Official]

I must admit I feel a bit like a hypocrite... I have studied for many years, and can now officially call myself a Petroleum Engineer. I work in the oil industry, and make all my money of of it... But I have been listening to Architects permanently along the way of this educational journey and I really enjoy their music, and many of their songs! Especially the lyrics! You see, the thing is that even though a lot of the song are kinda "environmentally expressive" and that is one of the things Architects really stand for, these lyrics can relate to so much more! Just dig a little deeper and I find myself again and again inside their lyrics, on a deeper personal level that is! I guess a lot of you will absolutely not agree with me, and call me a hypocrite, but I wouldn't put it that way! Architects are more than an awesome band with awesome songs/lyrics! They give people strength and motivation, when nothing else seem to push you further! And for that, they are my favorite band and will probably always be...! Ironic isn't it, but very true! As of the "LF//LT album" - Gravedigger, Naysayer and Youth is wasted on the Young are my absolute favorites, so if you don't understand what I am trying to tell you with the text above, listen to those songs and read their lyrics ! Then you might change your mind. Can't wait to see them Live in Concert - 22.March - Oslo Norway!

[@philsmith8367]

I have to say I am in a similar situation. I have always wanted to be a structural geologist involved in petroleum work and i have succeeded in doing that but i have listened to Architects since the ruin album and i have never felt like a hypocrite. They just uplift me, even with songs such as black blood where i should feel guilty. Most people don't understand the work that we do and could easily turn around and call us hypocrites but that would be missing the point of the song and their message. Anyway, i just wanted to share, love what i do. Love Architects too. Have fun on the 22nd March. I see them tomorrow in Manchester. Take it easy

[@MFosse90Official]

Phil Smith Thats cool mate! Was they amazing ? What songs were palyed from the new album ? :-)

[@kaszilla]

i cant relate to any of that, im just a student on his way to becoming an engineer, but i aint gonna call you a hypocrite just because you work in the thing this song is an anti off, people who do call you a hypocrite, well lets put it this way, we all are a bunch of hypocrites, we all listen to these kind of songs and we just say 'yes thats so true' but in the end we do nothing with it, we just go on with our lives, slaves till we die bound by our duty to work, as long as you dont become one of the greedy ones suffering from his need to want more, because thatll make you blind and one of the contributer of the downfall of us all, the reason its called blackblood is because people die everyday for oil .... oil means money, money will atract greedy ones, greedy ones will go over corpses to gain what they want more but allready have.... the thing ive been thinking about alot lately is that ... what if we were simply a parasite on this planet ? i mean we grew big surviving of the resources of the earth and now we are draining and destroying them, thats what a parasite does right ? ... but yeah, point of this text is that we all are hyporcites pointing our fingers at all the things that are wrong but then go on and pay for the end product, oh and if you like these kind of lyrics you should check out enter shikari and rise against, enter shikari is more technocore (try destabilize, radiate and i really like system meltdown) and rise against is more punkish, (try survivors guilt, hero of war and i really like prayer of the refugee)

[@MFosse90Official]

kaszilla Well said man! Rise Against is already one of the reasons I discovered Architects - They warmed up in Oslo for Rise Against 2010. I know more Rise Against lyrics than Architect ones ;) Btw, the concert was amazing, and I got the signings of Tom, Ali, Dan, Sam on my record as well! It was awesome!

[@callummason6589]

We just have to admit not everyone can have it, and be selfish, no equality and diversity to save resources.

[@cello2186]

this song still manages to give me the chills, masterpiece

[@homerdj0nt]

hands down to THE BEST lyric video ever made... any doubt just play attention to all effects/variations and how well it was synced, and how it matches perfectly with the meaning

[@cayogarcia2276]

for sure, so much transitions, it was a very detailed work

[@AFCA_Godenzonen]

I just need to listen to this song from time to time...

[@МишельФакоф]

Возвращаюсь сюда столько лет спустя, дабы написать о том достоверном факте, что это до сих пор одна их самых охуенных композиций у группы (лично для меня). Группа сейчас на высоте, и музыка намного-намного качественнее, да и совсем другая как в плане звучания, так и в плане жанрового составляющего в целом, но это не отменяет наличие прошлого, в котором парни делали в точности то же самое, что и сейчас, а именно очень крутую и качественную музыку. Architects❤️

Why is it so hard for humanity to unite? If we all came together, the hell wouldn't show up, instead we could create heaven on earth for everyone in this reality that we know exists. Instead of them trying to feed people a hope of a heaven so that they accept the shit reality that they are all living. One day, we will get there.

This specific song seems to be about oil. Saying we rely on it so much despite it being finite. And governments will do anything for oil. For instance the war in the middle east is all about who gets the oil. The united states, terrorists, or the Russian federation.
