Architects - "Memento Mori" (Full Album Stream)

[@PumperPanda95]

"It's a promise you cannot break" hits so hard. Often promises are a positive thing. And if somebody breaks a promise, it was by choice. And this is the exact opposite.

[@lylemackie4207]

RIP Tom. This was his goodbye to us.

Absolutely devastating mate.

This song took on a completely different meaning after hearing about it. Listened to it all day on repeat. My eyes are swollen. I'm completely gutted.

[@rumfordc]

the meaning did not change in the slightest you just didn't put any thought into the lyrics the first time you heard it. you do realize you're dying too right? if you forgot, you're *still* missing the point of the song

i still can't comprehend lamb of god's memento mori being ranked above this one on youtube if i search memento mori. This is an unforgettable song i will be listening to til i die. it's been a song through varying emotions for me. From pain to extreme happiness i fucking love this song. I love architects, and i'm devastated they will never be the same. i've got tattoos of their album covers. These albums will be with me forever.

[@flowerfloc]

i love everything they do and can't wait till for the album

[@okthisisepic2928]

Yes this song is extremely underated. However the lamb of god one is really good too. The first half of the song is a very good poem. By the darkest river, beneath the leafless trees I think I'm drowning, this dream is killing me (Wake up, wake up, wake up) In the coldest winter, between the fading lights I feel I'm falling into a frozen sky (Wake up, wake up, wake up) Past the blackest heaven, above the dying stars I watch me breaking into a million shards (Wake up, wake up, wake up) But through the hardest hour, below the cruelest sign I know I'm waking up from this wretched lie (Wake up, wake up) Wake up

[@beskar_]

Both are soo good songs but yes architects one underrated

The universe survives on give and take Death is an open door It's a promise that you cannot break Was your life worth dying for?

Fast asleep) The sea will part, where oceans meet Finally complete It's a promise that you cannot break Was your life worth dying for? The universe survives on give and take Death is an open door It's a promise that you cannot break Was your life worth dying for? The universe survives on give and take Decay is the only law Swan song A declaration of endlessness I swear I will not look back, as I return into the black When the veil lifts, how will I know? How will I know? Will I see God? As above, so below Dismantled piece by piece, what's left will not decease As within, so without The seasons bring relief Just let me live and die in peace

[@malcolmk2878]

Best album of the year..? Mates, you may not realize that this album will remain as one of the most iconic and everlasting albums of all time. Aside from the innovation Tom brought to the world of Metal, the state of mind and spirit he was in while writing this album gives it an additional sincerity and significance that we rarely have had the honour of being given to us. I have only gratitude to Tom for sharing this with us. It’s profoundly touching. Thank you, Architects ❤️🙏

So you're speaking of Tom since earlier but say "Thank you ARCHITECTS" in the end? Like, do the other members doesn't count, or...? I know that this song's a tribute to Tom but God, he wasn't the only member of Architects. And since he's gone and that it's Sam the songwriter now, everybody hate it. That means the band counted way too much on Tom, and that's NEVER a good thing. A band is a whole, not just ONE FUCKING member, even if he's dead.

[@poloslim6448]

THAT CLOCK. It makes you feel on your mind that time is going by relentlessly.

[@orangepatpanda2653]

I honestly can't believe at first that Tom passed away. I cried my eyes red today while at work. I just can't believe someone like him will be taken away at such a young age. He was such an inspiration to me, as a musician and as a very kind, genuine person. I met them once when they went here in the Philippines and it all felt very surreal. I remember meeting them after the concert. I had the chance to have a picture taken with Sam, since all other members, Ali, Tom, Dan, and Adam were already inside the van. I kept calling for Tom, because I have a massive crush on him and I really look up to him because he writes songs in such an elegant way. He eventually noticed me, pointed to himself, and I said, non-verbatim, "Yes! Tom, can I have a picture with you?" He was about to go out of the van but sadly he was stopped by the event organizers so he just smiled and waved at me. I was kinda envious of my friends who had the chance to have their picture taken with Tom but I think that would be our own simple moment. My mom, who also loves music, told me, that people who touch as have that effect. That even if we are not blood-related to them, their deaths affect us so much because they touched our lives, possibly even showed light in our lives. She told me that we have their music to keep us company and that they're always alive when we remember them. Much love, respect, and salute to Architects. Rest in Power, Tom.

[@luvos1]

I just could not hold the tears while I read your message, was really hard to read until the end. He will always live trough his music, he will always be here with us, this is the most important. Thank you for writing all this, it really made me feel better after a truly hard day. Much love to you and your mom.

[@orangepatpanda2653]

It was really hard because Tom and Architects really had a big impact to everyone. I still have a hard time coping with his passing, and I just can't imagine how much more pain his family and his Architects family has to go through right now, but our thoughts and love are sent to them in spirit. Thank you very much for your kind response. Much love to you.

[@luvos1]

Yes, the lyrics he wrote helped me so much in one of my darkest moments, even helped to shape me as human being. I am sad for not having the opportunity to thank him for all he did for me. What makes me feel in peace is that I know he is free from pain and suffering. I hope his family and his friends find a way to go trough this moment, I hope they can be in peace soon. We, Architect's fans have to go trough this together, help each other. Love.

[@emilyparr138]

*hug* :'(

[@joykennell335]

I don't know how I got here to discover this mind-opening piece, but this song takes you back and forth, left and right, and all dimensions of all aspects of life, death, birth, and the end of light.

[@TheAlbinoskunk]

It feels now like so many songs in Architects' oeuvre were foreshadowing Tom's tragic death, but none more than this one. I'm tearing up rn

[@JohnC546]

I was thinking the same, C.A.N.C.E.R. was right around the time he learned of it probably, and then this was his swan song because probably knew he would die this year. I can't listen to this without tears now. Easily one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful song I have heard.

[@orangepatpanda2653]

hugs architects fam :(

[@charlesgurley7030]

so true. The break in this song with the clock ticking before the super heavy... it's just creepy now

[@widexawake_]

He'd be dealing with it since Daybreaker, and it went into remission during the Lost Forever // Lost Together production. Unfortunately it came back and that's why AOGHAU has such a darker and nihilistic tone.

[@tristandvll]

Honestly this album is probably going to be the album of the year for me, there isn't a single bad or meh song on this record I legitimately love all of the songs, these songs are the songs that you don't skip when shuffling songs no matter what mood you're in.

[@derekwright5722]

wish i could agree, other than gone with the wind, match made in heaven, gravity, and nihilist, most of the other songs are just too slow in comparison. They aren't necessarily bad but they dont have the same energy. Kind of disappointed tbh

[@elmat5457]

Yes

[@liam-qj5sn]

It's definitely up there, but Hellyeah's new album is giving it a run for its money!

[@BagofMilk]

I'd call myself a bit of a Gojira mega-fan (I have some of their artwork tattooed on my arm) but there is absolutely no way Magma could top this as album of the year. This is a geniune masterpiece and out of my 15 years of listening to metal it easily has the best ending of any album I've ever listened to.

I just stumbled upon this one, never heard it before 2024. "When the veil lifts. How will I know? How will I Know? Will I see GOD?!". I am actually sobbing, like I have not gotten this emotional from a piece of music in YEARS. This song is an outstanding gift to art.

[@minecraftsteve2504]

2014-2018 Architects is some peak. So happy you found this era of Architects If you liked this, I'd greatly suggest checking out their 2018 album, or listen to Heavener by Invent Animate, both albums are full of emotion.

[@brandontadday6288]

Man, it is so eerie listening to this song after today. It's like Tom is communicating to us from the beyond... RIP Tom. Your music and lyrics have gotten me through so much in the last couple of years. Your influence will never be forgotten. "You can't hang onto yourself, you don't have to try NOT to hang onto yourself. It can't be done, and that is salvation. Memento Mori, Be mindful of death". CHILLS

Cancer fucking sucks it really does, its sad how it affects lives not just Tom's but anyone coping with it and their loved ones. It really cuts deep.

[@Tcat5310]

This was my favorite song off the bat after originally hearing the album. I felt the emotion the band had put into the musical and lyrical composition. It only hit me harder today when i realized that this was Tom's goodbye to us. My heart rests heavy today. I can't fucking comprehend this. Just let me live and die in peace. We miss you, Tom.

[@SarahZhou]

It's not fair. He's gone too soon. Ha, if he saw all of us blubbering like babies he'd probably poke fun at us and tell us that death is an ordinary part of life and that there's nothing to be sad about. But Tom, I know death is an ordinary part of life, just not when you're fucking 28 years old. It's just not fair. Tom had so much to give, there was just so much he could have done with the rest of his life. In those 28 years, he accomplished more than most people accomplish in their whole life. He was such a great songwriter, such a great guitarist (no matter how much you think yourself to be "a shit guitarist" Tom, I will forever disagree), and a very peaceful person with a lot of empathy and compassion for all. I just can't understand why the best people are snatched off the face of this earth so soon. The music he wrote helped us and the person that he was motivated us to become better people. Overall, he just made us better - he cured us of our illnesses, whether it be something to do with our mental health or our personalities. But when he needed a cure, there was nothing that anyone could do - and that pisses me off so fucking much. But if there is anything we can gain from his death is a new-found appreciation and purpose in life. We have something that he was robbed of, and we should value life now more than ever. We must put use to our lives because it's not right for us to just waste our chance of growing old while he could have done something great with that same chance. I know it's hard, but we must muster up the strength to move past this. Tom did not die for us to simply wither away into the shell of the person we once were. If anything, his death opens up a chance for us all to work towards becoming a fraction of the person he was to mend the hole in the greatness of our universe that was created when he passed away. (And Tom, I mean it when I say that you'll forever be in my heart. I can't even find the words to describe how much an influence you've made on my life and I sincerely mean it when I say that I've become a better person because of you. Your fascination with mindfulness has really rubbed off on me, and the positivity that you exuded took it's toll on my negativity. I am working towards developing a positive mindset to mirror yours with hopes of one day reaching the peacefulness and wisdom you had, as well as the compassion you had for everyone. Also, I've been practicing guitar a shit more than before to ensure that I'll at least become half the guitarist you were. So thank you for everything, Tom, wherever you may be. Thank you).

[@petarpants]

I've read some comments about how Tom knew he was gonna die while writing this song. I think the "thing" in this song is that the only thing we know is that we are gonna die. Tom knew, but we kinda know too. So memento Mori, be mind of death, and live a life that you would be proud.

He only knew that his life is going to end soon, but he didn't know what is going to be on the other side, this song is kind of a last goodbye to the world.

"When my heart skips two beats (I am hidden deep. Fast asleep) The sea will part, where oceans meet Finally complete" Rest in peace Tom, we love you

[@chesty7478]

Architects are my true inspiration... Love them

[@leora2792]

Favorite song on the album by far.

[@wessteyrn7746]

Now lets take a moment to imagine this song live. Bleeeeeeegh

[@leora2792]

+Luffy Joke Central That would be life changing. Sadly, I doubt they'd ever even attempt to perform this live. It just seems too hard to do, and they've said the same.

[@wessteyrn7746]

+Leora Ojadi we are talking about Architects. We are talking about the BLEGH vocalist. I believe they can pull out ANYTHING. Though it might be hard, am pretty sure they will do it for a special show.

[@itsgenious1817]

@@wessteyrn7746it’s not because this is hard to play, it’s actually easy compared to their old stuff, but they don’t play this live bc the lyrics reminds the band of Tom
