[@mikandcant]

I wouldn't say that we only ever love them when they're seeing red, but the heaviness got me hyped

[@ReddersTV]

Man, that pause in the chorus and the guitar solo are everything. This single is fucking epic.

[@damiengrief]

We're so fucking back.

[@nikoohd._.1471]

Jensen Noen masterclass (Director of the music video, also did videos with Falling In Reverse, Bring Me The Horizon and Twenty One Pilots)

[@aleasha.k.b]

And Ice Nine Kills

[@Acroanidd]

Started this year off with the best song of the year. If something tops this I'll be shocked. This is so damn hard, so damn good, every little thing, the singing in the chorus, the solo, i could go on.

[@debstuke]

I am so here for anything Architects does. I love this band.

[@mmzavadil]

Architects are sooooo on 🔥 right now! Loved the reaction Josh! What a fking music year this is becoming... Imagine both Architects and Landmvrks releasing albums 🔥🔥🔥

[@sav5451]

Sam is coming for our throats this year 🎉

[@IAMjessiebristol]

Jordan Fish continues to prove that he is one of the best producers in Metal. Architects may just release the best album of 2025, super excited to see what the rest of the songs sound like. 🤘

[@delbybanny5385]

This video is destroying, I Love this. I Have Goosebumps.

[@S0M3GUY778]

This song has absolutely skyrocketed to being my favourite Architects song of all time. I can already tell this is a top 5, if not top 1 song of the year for me

[@baldguyreact]

Blackhole is by far my favorite architects song yet! And they quickly rose to my favorite artist I'm listening to in 2025

[@Tennessee_Plumbing]

This was incredible.. the best Architects ive heard in a very long time.. and the production, fuck me!

[@sharing64tacos]

Sam has really been killing it, honestly. I have forgotten about spiritbox due to lack of singles. Memphis may fire has also been killing it. Also music video wise, if anything came from FIR has been the increase in MV background production. Literally movie quality stuff.

[@gibbyCH]

Was really hoping at the end someone in chat could’ve corrected you or something so that we’d get to see your reaction to finding out the location was real and not green screen haha it’s absolutely insane what they did with this video

[@Roguenjosh]

I need a making of!

[@EROCKNURFACE]

New-ish Architects fan. Just added Gone with the Wind to the Playlist

[@daniellawson8182]

Architects have certainly reaffirmed their status as kings of metalcore.May not be as technical as some of their early work but this is still top 3.That transition into the best Architects chorus is seamless👌

[@Cardboardcutout81]

Agree - main differences from the early work for me are: this is less technical but heavier and his singing is cleaner than on previous albums. I do miss the fry/sing choruses but this hook could land a whale.

[@sylskaterChannel]

According to Sam, they were actually in location to film the video, so there's less greenscreen than you might think, but lots of vfx

[@WaschiTV]

Absolute shattering song, the vocals come close to some classic death metal. Which i absolutely have a blast listen to. Can‘t wait to see them again this summer with LP in my hometown after seeing them back in 2023 as preact of Metallica.🤩🤘

[@delta3675]

Easily one of my top favorite songs. Gone with the wind is still my favorite considering how much meaning it has to me.

[@Payne823]

Finally someone appreciates the new songs! Fucking bangers all around, i was so sad to see bogdanxhc's reactions to the new stuff, he is clearly done with this band...

[@stevecuthbert5150]

For me this song is a massive nod to the Hollow Crown days! Heavy riffs and vocals with nice cleans, you can see their progression as musicians and maybe going back to their roots abit?

[@fluffybunny1104]

My expressions while listening to the song was stank face all day 😂

[@HenryRuins]

Was this the first guitar solo from Architects since You Don't Walk Away From Dismemberment from 2006? According to Sam the building that they stood in was actually a real building

[@_Zer0Gr4vity_]

That guitar solo was so tasty, but the entire song is great (my favorite of the singles so far). If the entire album keeps the quality these singles had, it will be AOTY contender for sure.

[@DinoC543]

This song doesn’t even need the video. But the quality is over the top!

[@nehalnabil9341]

you have to watch sam carter interview about this song with rock feed he also talked about the new linkin park and emily and touring with them in 2025

[@Roguenjosh]

Oh hell yes!!

[@redorat2920]

fire song

[@Izak_Klark]

Since you're into metalcore, have you heard of The Ghost Inside? They're incredible

[@xxinfamyyyxx]

I wonder who shit on Sam's cornflakes! OOOOOOFFFFFFFFF that was dirty

[@Roguenjosh]

That’s a hell of an expression 😂

[@sovokentertainment1458]

It is not a green screen tho. It is a real abandoned site that they found. Sam told in a recent interview that he is afraid of heights and was very scared to film it Of course, water, destructions is all VFX, but the location is real

[@pramusetyakanca1552]

The music video director, iirc, is the same man behind Falling In Reverse's music vids

[@claireguitar4658]

This explains a lot. Heard Matt Tuck of BFMV mention that they'd looked into hiring him and then backed out when they found out how expensive his videos are 🤣

[@อาหามะอาดือลันดอมะ]

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@Randude14]

That wasn't green screen. Lol. They were really at an abandoned oil rig.

[@ZeniInject]

Jordan vibe

[@ERNVK]

Krrrrrp krrrrrp krrrrp krrrrrp

[@peytonbollhorst6624]

This is a SOTY contender for sure

[@luketinginit]

it didnt feel like a green screen video because it isnt one 😸 (besides the obvious)

[@henrykent2870]

We all know you can't beat the In The End music video 😂😂😂😂

[@DavidSlEePtOkEnSanchez]

Falling in reverse will say hold my beer just saying lol 5:50 😂

[@caleblyman3763]

Polaris is the best Metalcore band

[@sharing64tacos]

It's a good band, I just don't see it as a favorite. Music is subjective

[@danishimran1531]

it's not the same for everyone

[@Roguenjosh]

God we’re lucky to be able to have this conversation, what a time in metal

[@sharing64tacos]

@@Roguenjosh welcome to metal, the place where we argue our favorite bands with grown adults and teenagers like 5th graders arguing what's their favorite superhero

[@Live.Music.Moments]

i love both bands.
