[@SoDamnMetal]

Explains that gay kiss no one asked for

[@Kevlarturtle]

​@@SoDamnMetal is that what you got out of this video? So hot, keep going 🥵

[@Nesfek]

The beginning sounds like Bad Omens - Artificial Suicide

[@25StevyLovesDaddyTata]

The riff sounds a bit too similar to the only thing they fear is you

[@wawagrosik5703]

More like Doom Eternal OST - The Only Thing They Fear Is You

[@magiaburst]

I thought I was the only one that heard it

[@Chris-eo8jr]

Hearing saw is the law by Whitechapel too

“We have Bad Omens at home”

[@martinbastl2036]

I´ve just realized one thing about this video and song. Maybe I am wrong, feel free to correct me. One of the things I love about Architects is their way of hidden jokes. Remember "are you happy now?" and Sam´s annoyed face? And what is the moment in this video? The breakdown. There were lots of people on the internet saying idiotic comments like "gay/gay breakdown". And here we go, there is one gay breakdown for you. Love it.

New Memphis May Fire too, there also dropping there new album in March on the 28th!

[@AlbusPercivalWulfrykDumbledore]

Spotify version has Gordon Ramsay at the end for some reason

[@wearehellblazer]

Does anyone notice that the whole song references “Even If You Win, You’re Still a Rat” from “Daybreaker”?

[@Blane_be_fishin]

I thought the build up was too much for a rather short breakdown that wasn’t as heavy as expected. The end breakdown was sick though. That needed to be the first breakdown but last longer.

[@spencrbrady3171]

Nah it was perfectly executed

[@Blane_be_fishin]

@ I’m not the only one that has said it. I’ve seen it on multiple reactions from popular KZbinrs. Still a good song. Just expected more from the first breakdown with that build up. The end breakdown hit the spot though for those few seconds.

[@karljonson3287]

I'm sure it was made to missplace your expectations

[@spencrbrady3171]

@@Blane_be_fishin i feel like people expect a longer breakdown but then we get stuff like Slaughter to Prevail and it gets boring. So a quick burst breakdown works better imo

[@adrianjaimes1908]

@@ArensVTI think we all know why…

[@Soruwu]

@@ArensVT The overall direction seemed extremely random and sporadic with a few scenes that didn't make much sense (the kissing and the guy in the forest being the two main ones since they didn't seem to connect at all to the rest of the video or the guy at the end). But then again I'm more of a fan of MVs that have a story involved in them, so this one just wasn't to my personal taste

Probably some bigot upset about the gay kisses, or something else that just wasn't ideal to have in the video

[@GHØST.Roadrage]

reminds me of artificial suicide the opening riff, anyone else hear this?

[@Saibot9200]

My first thought when I heard it was more Mick Gordon personally, but I get what you mean. I feel like Mick has had a huge influence on a lot of bands incorporating his type of sound into their songs these last few years.

[@wawagrosik5703]

Doom Eternal OST - The Only Thing They Fear Is You check this :)

[@Galluu_]

I just can't. It's just so formulaic and IMO basic modern-core. "Lets add EDM beats with 8 string guitars" shit. IMO, this is the definition of 'Octane-core' in 2 years.

[@PeakPotentialMen329]

"GAY BREAKDOWN LET'S GOOOO" Absolutely annihilated me😭😭😭

Is it just me or is this the first use of "bitch" in an Architects track, at least going back as far as Daybreaker? Also probably the most swearing in an Architects song in a hot minute. Fuckin' love it
