Is Imminence just Architects with violins?

I listen to more imminence now than architects but both of them are pretty incredible

[@SteezyHubzMTB]

They're very similar bands yet very different in their own ways..... To be honest, I'm glad that these guys are filling Architects shoes because I haven't been able to stomach Architects music in some time now..... Imminence filled the void that Architects left behind when they went more mainstream with their music style... But then again that might just be me and my personal music preference 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@JacobAndrsn]

You and I are in similar boats for sure

[@hardcoreprimus8822]

I don't think it matters if a band/artist sounds like another band/artist unless you have anything which stands out, we all have influencers at the end of the day and it's impossible to be entirely unique or original anyway so why do we complain?

[@rersjku]

agree

I got into Imminence with the release of 'Turn The Light On', an album that I still think is SEVERELY underrated and more unique than it is given credit for. Architects is a strong influence on Imminence and admittedly so from the band. Ever since then they have definitely crafted their own formula musically and lyrically and kind of stick to it (ie: cliche lyrical hooks, screaming the title of the song in the chorus or breakdown call out, repeated phrases) and fell off a little for me. 'The Black' does follow that formula but there's a few creative twists and turns they threw that made it a enjoyable listen for me. I fully agree with the analysis of it feeling too grandiose all the time and by the end of it as you eloquently put it, had no heartstrings left to pull on. To the your point about guitars on 'The Black' I dont think Imminence has ever really had a strong focus on the guitar riffs themselves unlike Architects where they were THE initial draw- they've always been there to highly the atmosphere or vocals of the songs. Eddie and Sam do have a lot of similarities in vocal technique, but Eddie still has a very distinct voice from Sam's and overall I think shows MUCH more range than Sam does with cleans especially, Sam's cleans especially on newer records are pretty one-noted and grating for me. I recently discovered your channel and have been enjoying it! Good video, you hit the nail on the head with the Henrik Udd reference.

I really liked how this record sounded quite mature in an era of metal where that seems to be lacking.

[@rersjku]

nice video, dude!! keep it going :D

[@placidblack836]

I love Imminence… Heaving In Hiding and The Black album and those videos that occupy those albums are amazing …🤘

[@JacobAndrsn]

great vid

I don't find them similar at all. Architects is kinda meh imo. Imminence is my favourite band. Musically it's very different, but vocally it's extremely different.
