HEAVIEST SONG EVER | SEEING RED | ARCHITECTS

[@RevMesmer_VT]

It's very personal to the band as it's aimed towards the haters which say they're not heavy anymore because their previous two albums were more poppy, electronic and industrial sounding. Sam Carter is a talented vocalist and sounds pissed in this song.

[@NXT_LVL]

Yep, those are the fans who want 20 years of Nickelback doing the same album, or the old boomer shouting, ".45 ACP, TWO WORLD WARS!!!"

[@luiswiley86]

@@NXT_LVLwho the hell listens to nickleback 😂

[@quieteyes881]

I listen to Nickleback xD@@luiswiley86

[@unbxkannt5186]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@@luiswiley86

[@hitman9198]

​@NXT_LVL not exactly. Every band this good ultimately gets a cult following. And out of those there is always gonna be people bitching about everything that doesn't resemble their favorite song/album. I personally like their last two albums alot. They had to find a new direction after Tom passed. Sam is easily one of the best front men out there.

[@leo.di.caprisun]

this song is basically Sam saying a massive f"k you to the haters that say they weren't heavy enough is their last album. they basically had a list of stuff to tick off that fits the metal core genre: the blegh, lows, 1-0-0 cord, the ding. this song is genius

[@jackieberg5232]

Im fairly certain that is a dig more directed towards the people giving Them deaththreats for being less heavy.

[@jakejane3528]

The chants

[@brandontachiera2504]

I'd say it's both,the death threats are actually lyrics in the song

[@samcrorie]

​@jackieberg5232 I had heard they had gotten death threats. Also there were comments like they were better before one of the band members passed which is particularly hurtful. I don't understand how some people can be such d****.

[@brandontachiera2504]

@samcrorie Yeah,Tom Searle,founding member,was the main songwriter up until his passing,he was the twin brother of drummer Dan Searle.

[@AnnRose142]

I always liked variety in metal. I don't mind if a band has a softer phase or goes more heavy. People change and so does their music. Architects are definitely on my list to see live one day.

[@mirakuwu]

Saw them live about a week ago and it was honestly the best experience of my life. Definitely worth it.

[@acolytetojippity]

they're an *incredible* live show. Saw them in philly, Sam Carter came out in a Phillies jersey and everything. fucking hype show, amazing crowd and pit. It's the best kind of music to be able to feel in person.

[@ginger_fox_n_sox]

I love that right when the BLEGH hit, Kyle almost instantly slapped the fatality button!

[@BoiledTater]

The Gojira pick scrapes are just on point, and pulling them off so consistently in a riff is just fucking amazing! Also, not Eric fucking drink beer out of a wine decanter lmao

[@mjbeckernc]

I get the fans wanting bands to go back to their original heaviness (i.e. Asking Alexandria), and I get bands wanting to progress musically...but this is a BANGER and kudos to Architects!

[@jaredadams5194]

Badass song, I have been playing it constantly since I first heard it. 🤘👹🤘

[@RyanLoper9]

Yes!! Thank you! Also, I live for Kyle’s facial expressions when he’s caught off guard with the heavy. For example, when Viking by Slaughter to Prevail takes off 😂

[@blondie_0283]

This is AWESOME!!! Is it weird that I pause and rewind also, just to see your reactions again??? I can't be the only one 😂😂 Thanks for introducing me to this one and the great reaction guys!

[@1KrasserDude]

A little Story Time for you guys about Architects/Seeing Red they lost their Main Lead Guitarist and Songwriter Tom Searle (Brother from Dan Searle/The Drummer) in 2016 due to Cancer. Their Albums "Holy Hell" and "All Our Gods have Abandoned Us" are i think still regarded as on of the best Metalcore Albums and i think you guys even reacted to "Doomsday" were the Main Riff was so often ripped off that i cant even count it. So now to Seeing Red the Song is basically a Big FUCK YOU to the "Fans" which criticized them for the last 2 Albums which were a little more Experimental and more Industrial/POP? so ofc People on the Internet hated them for it writing shit on Forums/Comments even a "Fan" jumped up on Stage in Australia and said through the Mic that they were letting Down their Dead Bandmate/Brother Tom. And while i think its good that this Song gets the recognition it deserves it really puts the Line "Are you a junkie punk medicating for free?" in perspective. I know you guys want to react to Stuff that clicks well but i personally gotta tell you check out the last 2 Albums and "Holy Hell" and "All our Gods..." out some of the Songs on there are just crazy good. If im missing something here take this with a grain of Salt i just wrote all that on the top of my head.

[@RevMesmer_VT]

No, you're pretty much on point with this. To add on, the guy in Australia who jumped on to the stage also said to play an old song to commemorate Tom as they were playing the oldest song on the set. Sam even pointed this out and how the deluded fan also went to scream at Josh Middleton who is now a former member of the band.

[@robdurfee6861]

You’re sleeping on the album before “All Our Gods”, the album “Lost Forever//Lost Together” is where that sound/vibe started and is considered a part of a kind of loose trilogy with the other two albums you mentioned. Probably my favorite arc of the band although my personal favorite album is “Dayseeker” from them. I enjoyed their last two albums as well, they helped my partner finally get into the band for the first time

[@RevMesmer_VT]

Umm mate it's Daybreaker, Dayseeker is the band.

[@RevMesmer_VT]

Umm mate it's Daybreaker, Dayseeker is the band.

[@RyanLoper9]

You are right on. I stumbled across architects through Nik Nocturnal so I didn’t hear anything before For Those That Wish To Exist. Animals and Impermanence was my first exposure, but I’ve also really enjoyed their older music too. Love a band with killer screams AND cleans.

[@miller441mm]

Yesss lads. Architects are sick.. middle finger to the people who said they cant be heavy anymore. Cant wait for the new album . You definitely should do more. Plenty of bangers in the catalogue.

[@Thecartel865]

These lyrics are a mix of everything and perfect. The words said sound like what’s going on in the world as we speak since Covid

[@thewanderingwolf7116]

I'm so sad that you guys didn't have the lyrics pulled up for this one. The lyrics make this whole song 1000x times better. Glad to see you react to this though!!

[@flyingmonkey9338]

Rykerroad: heaviest song ever! Meanwhile Slaughter to Prevail and Knocked Loose are like: hold my beer

[@Shannynjams]

I'm in love with this song, and I LOVE that they are calling out the haters. I'm seeing them in Philly in May and I'm SO EXCITED.

[@amybrawn4271]

I love watching your guys reactions to this song. He's definately sticking it to the man in this song. I love his voice and the little bell before , "are you happy now." The string slide throughout song is really amazing to. Great song!

[@johnmartin9854]

Hell yeah!!! This is such a killer song. I hate that I can only hit the like button once. Awesome reaction guys

[@krisbolin]

It’s even better when you realize he is being sarcastic with the lyrics.

[@robbomcrobberson]

Rent free living in your head "R.I.P" they commented I felt it when they said (We only ever love you when you're seeing red) Seeing red You oughta know that I'm like a broken machine I'm not as bulletproof as you all paint me to be Time hasn't frozen Why do you want me to scream? Are you a junkie punk medicating for free? Read me all my rights I'll never grow tired of your great advice Won't somebody tell me what I believe? I'm sorry for your sacrifice I guess I must've sounded like the Anti-Christ Won't somebody tell me Won't somebody tell me What I believe? No debts, all love, I don't give a fuck My head, my heart wouldn't be enough I won't think twice I'm afraid I'm the priest You're the poltergeist We're like one big family Gee, thanks so much (for the death threat) Do you hear the audacity? You dummies only live (on the internet) We're all (oh, yeah?) You need (that's right) We'll make you royalty (gimmie that gold) We'll be the best enemies Read me all my rights I'll never grown tired of your great advice Won't somebody tell me what I believe? I'm sorry for your sacrifice I guess I must've sounded like the Anti-Christ Won't somebody tell me Won't somebody tell me What I believe? Rent free living in your head "R.I.P" they commented I felt it when they said "We only ever love you when you're seeing red" Heaven burning bright You've really gotta wonder how I sleep at night Won't somebody tell me Won't somebody tell me Read me all my rights I'll never grown tired of your great advice Won't somebody tell me what I believe? I'm sorry for your sacrifice I guess I must've sounded like the Anti-Christ Won't somebody tell me Won't somebody tell me What I believe (What I believe) What I believe All eyes on me What I believe

[@robbomcrobberson]

just in case you didn’t get told earlier haha, i love your work guys amazing reaction as usual. The song is about saying Fuck you to the people that turned their back on the band after their most recent album saying it wasn’t heavy enough. hence the breakdown call-out “Are you happy now?” it’s just such a funny way of saying grow up, we’re gonna change get used to it otherwise, there’s the fucking door 😂.

[@scifimonkey3]

Guys you need to listen to ‘Curse’ just released

[@lolamorales9842]

I LOVE Architechs. SO GLAD this one won!!! More more MOOORREEE!!!

[@leann.lightkneen]

I absolutely love how this entire song was such a pleasant surprise from start to finish.

[@ch_vky148]

I think this song should be always remembered in music history as the most professional and creative way to say for haters stfu. This is definitely more powerful song if to be in context why it was created at all.. Good job, Architects. Applause 👏🏻

[@KaiTrappe1979]

Guys, it is so much fun watching you react to music that I am addicted to! Keep it on! Sending love from Germany! Have a wonderful Christmas Time! 🖤🎅

I was soooooo excited that you guys reacted to this!! Such an awesome song!!! And FATALITY X 2 !!!!! YESSSSSSSS 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I will give youuuuu a fatality lmao. 😘😘😘

[@celestesolorzano8318]

Eric saying “NO, NO, NO” while repeating a part a thousand times is totally fucking me 😂

[@kevinbourne3017]

This is such a killer song! They have been putting out great music the last few years.

[@BigBrownBevo]

The more I hear this song, the more I like it. 👏👏👏👏✅

[@key5534]

Kyles grin when he knows there is a breakdown coming makes me happy!

[@naDalous]

What I would do to listen to this for the first time again... I think the might be Architects' best song

[@RyanLoper9]

Absolutely gotta check out Architects: Animals

[@tomwende5529]

I've never criticized the boys from Brighton for having made radio-friendlier music. I want them to be successful. They did a small tour around the Daybreaker or Lost days. Standing in line to get into the show, I learned that I wasn't the only one to have driven over a thousand miles to see the show. They were considering dropping the US altogether because they were losing money on the tours. From what I saw (there were painfully few of us, but it was a love fest), that would have been the right call. Epitath has given them the exposure they needed over here, that exposure came with a cost. They've paid it, and now they can start slamming again. I just found this channel. If you haven't covered their spiritual twin Northlane, I recommend Discoveries, the eponymous track of their debut album. They've covered a lot of ground musically, but that specific song... I'm a little envious of anyone who is hearing it for the first time. The place you end up is NOT AT ALL the place you started. And it's on their debut album: "What's up, b!tches? We're Northlane. Now, watch THIS."

[@jenn42739]

Kyle when you gave the first fatality I was like oh man, he's gunna wish he saved that for the breakdown. But of course you gave the double fatality 🖤🖤 Architects are so deserving of that🤘

[@missbramley8663]

This song is such a fuck you to the 'fans' who said they were becoming too generic and popular. love this response!

[@brandiandersen5273]

Damn! This is so good. Went straight to the playlist!

[@marvincaribou3163]

Something you guys do right is you never pause for too long and it's very much appreciated.

[@KitsuneDino]

The hot pocket bit got me dying. That was great 😂

[@MattLees222]

I think you guys would like While She Sleeps. From the same town as BMTH and a little less heavy/more melodic than Architects. 100% here for the UK metal hype!

[@lilgianfry]

yes man, silence speaks is a must

[@storminfinity5118]

I love how the first 5 seconds of the song turned Kyle french for a moment

[@danielk613]

2:25 I love you guys for that reaction! I was the same way!! That drum DUN DUN DUN was so fucking sick

[@amandalockwood4403]

Cheers y'all....heres to 200k in 2024!!! 🤘🎶💜

[@ghostfacedkilla2849]

Got the stank face in the first 5secs of the song. Wowser

[@nicholaustaylor5457]

That 8D moment almost felt personal. XD (left, right, ka-ching; are you happy now?) I absolutely adore 8D audio, and it's kinda hard to find.

[@peytonbollhorst6624]

Eric has quite the taste in shirts they always crack me up lol The variety of cups do too

[@jobeytodd8015]

Just came across this song today on Sirius. Came to KZbin to see if the sounded same live. They do. Giving me Linkin Park vibes. Nice!

[@Kiertiana]

Kyle, you took the words right out of my head "even after you microwave" I was about to literally say that out loud and then you did. hahaha! But on the video note, again guys, a band I've heard in my MiW station on Pandora but never really paid attention to. Like those bands that you like the song and you've heard it before but you can't name the band or song name, like that kind of band. But this song, especially after reading the comments about this being towards the haters, is something that got my attention enough to want to dive deeper. Just like you guys have done with Bad Omens. I spent all day yesterday while doing deliveries for my job, listening to the Death of Peace of Mind album. AMAZING! Back to these guys- YES to the 2000s angry rock because at first I was thinking to myself that I don't really listen to stuff like this, but then I thought back to Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Disturbed, and others, in the early days, and I was like "wait. nevermind. yes I do." So yes, absolutely agree that's the vibe here. Thank you yet again for expanding my music knowledge. Question for you guys- Are all the blind reacts done by the both of you in the metal/rock genre or have I missed hip hop blind reacts by both of you?

[@Thebarefootdrummer-r5i]

Dude i fucking love this song

[@TeeBagGee]

The whole song is a tongue in cheek F you to the haters for them not being heavy enough anymore. So they brought in all the stereotypical elements that people expect to hear from a cookie cutter metelcore song. They even touched on fans using the death of Tom ( one of their members) to criticize their recent work. Its brilliant.

[@PatriceLancaster69]

I think the high pitched singing parts are supposed to be the fans as well I think.

[@bbqR0ADK1LL]

Love Architects. Keep doing more 🤟

[@ashleylaforest4961]

Never heard of them but like coming to this page to check out new music

[@Smooth08601]

Hell yeah i was waiting for you to react to this song

[@Orridy0n]

"They were not doing well"... Says it all honestly

[@Emanate2]

I would recommend diving into their older stuff since you only reacted to the most recent one. I can't recall if you searched the meaning behind their song Doomsday but Architects have been threw some really deep and tragic shit, so I would recommend taking care of the lyrics like you do with Sleep Token. Different in the subjects for sure ^^, but still really important and worth noticing. Seeing Red for example, is a big "fuck"' to all people who went pretty hard to express how they didn't like the recent change of sound, going from death threats to shitting on Tom Searle's memory. "We only love you when you're seeing red" means that these people only love Architects when they're angry and depressed in their music. "We're like one big family, still thanks so much for the death threats" could be about the Metal, or Architects only, community who pretend to be all about love and respect but once you do something different, you receive some strong shit in the face. Like, do you think you're a good person when you basically wish that someone goes to depression again because if's the only time where he makes good music to your taste ? So yeah, Architects are a band worth the time. Either for the lyrics or for some good music, if not the all in one. Here are some recommandations : These Colours Don't Run, Naysayer, Gravedigger, Broken Cross, C.A.N.C.E.R, Gone With The Wind, Nihilist, A Match Made in Heaven, Memento Mori, Death is not Defeat, Hereafter, Royal Beggars, Holy Hell, Animals, Discourse is Dead, Dead Butterflies, Dying is Absolutely Safe

I may be one of the only ones that like every album by the sound of it. I honestly think architects are an absolute belter of a band and when people hate because of a change of pace kills me, it's their music delivered to those who like it, if you don't then move on.

[@user-hv1cg8tt3i]

Hey guys, speaking of “Seeing Red”. In 2003 Killing Joke released a song with the same name, well worth a listen. “The Death and Resurrection Show” from that same album is a unique track, nothing else compares to it! Both tracks feature David Grohl on drums! 🤘🏻

At this point, I'm here to see from what will Eric drink next :D Great reaction, as always guys! Probably the best notification bell I hit since I got on YT.

Love this band. If you ever react to them again, I’d highly recommend their song Memento Mori. It gives me chills every time I listen to it

[@geminiheisserer6677]

I WAS HOPING YOUD DO THIS!!

[@acolytetojippity]

7:21, no it sounds as intense and amazing live too. I always love when bands release tracks that are direct responses to their fans bitching. Some just express their anger or frustration (Linkin Park's "Bleed it Out", Architects "Seeing Red"...) some are just taking the chance to shit on their fans instead (Bring Me The Horizon's "Heavy Metal").

[@theseanie9958]

you mentioned live architects videos. if there is ONE architects live video worth watching, it's their performance of Gone With the Wind live at Alexandra Palace in 2018. A deeply personal song performed after the loss of Tom Searle to cancer, of whose struggle the song is written about. If you ever wanted to see an emotional performance, that's the one

[@RyanLoper9]

Architects are doing some numbers on the channel! Absolutely have to check out their Abbey Road version of “Impermanence”!

[@marloeslaughter8688]

I love that you guys enjoyed it! Coming out with the slammin suggestions on Patreon 😉 😂 And hot pockets should be called bipolar pockets😂

[@evanherrera9735]

I love the difference in how Architects and BMTH did the same thing. In Heavy Metal, BMTH just kept on their same vibe and said "fuck you, we don't care". Architects put every stereotypical element to basically say "Here's your bone, now go sit in the fucking corner and leave us alone". And made a fucking banger in the process!

[@vincenttrunfio3348]
