It blends in so well. Once he said this is Oli next line I could hear it. But first line I didn't pick it up so I feel that. If he hadn't have said it I don't think I'd know it either

[@MrGDJ95]

Good to see this song get some recognition, Daybreaker is the most underrated Architects album for sure. If you haven’t heard these colours don’t run that song is a MUST for this band

[@xavkoston16]

When it came out that record felt kind of fresh and creative , loved it

[@gabrielxraven]

Who wants to see these guys make another colaboration? I think if this even happens, it would sound like a Linkin Park tribute

Libertine sounds like Linkin Park imo you should check it out!

[@gabrielxraven]

Dude if you were to check out Early Grave and Follow The Water those songs are both bangers from Architects

[@darealkillarick]

Still 2 of my all time favorites. Probably my favorite album of theres.

[@divvyl0ngf00t]

Yeah agreed. I got into them during Daybreaker that album was dope and then I went back listened to Early Grave and honestly just fell in love with this band. These Bring Me The Horizon and Machine Head my all time favourite bands

[@nicholasedwards8733]

Can’t forget Numbers Count For Nothing.

[@divvyl0ngf00t]

[@martinherland2881]

Gotta do Early Grave, that song still slaps 12 years later

[@jrnewts7790]

I love the lyrics of this song, love the dirty scream. But I kind of wish they cleaned up more of those lyrics in the chorus, Sam and Oli together is the dream and they both have amazing singing voices, so hearing a clean couple lines to a drop and rise, would have made this song. Just my opinion. Still like it :)

[@kintaros4]

DUUUUDEEEEEEE I'VE HEARD THE ALBUM IT'S SO FUCKING GOODDD AND HAS A LOT OF NASTYYYYY RIFFS GONNA MAKE YOUR FACE GO OOOFF ... SPECIALLY IMPERMANENCE AND GOLIATH HAS ALOT OF GOJIRA VIBES
