ARCHITECTS Release New Single 'Machine'

September 16, 2026

Global rock heavyweights ARCHITECTS return today with their brand new single, "Machine", out now via Epitaph. The track marks the band's first new music since the release of th ARCHITECTS' acclaimed eleventh studio album, "The Sky, the Earth & All Between".

Written by Dan Searle and Sam Carter and produced by Searle, "Machine" sees ARCHITECTS pushing their sound further, pairing soaring melodies, intensity and an explosive chorus that has established them as one of the leading bands on the scene. The accompanying video, directed by Jensen Noen, explores perception and control, moving from a grounded reality into an increasingly abstract and distorted world.

"Machine" arrives following an especially strong run for ARCHITECTS. Their most recent album, "The Sky, The Earth & All Between", ushered in a major new chapter for the band, delivering back-to-back #1 singles at Mainstream Rock Radio in the U.S. with "Everything Ends" and "Broken Mirror". ARCHITECTS also earned an iHeartRadio Music Award nomination, further cementing their growing presence.

From their early days playing pub shows in Brighton to performing on stadium stages with METALLICA and LINKIN PARK plus their own headline arena tours, ARCHITECTS have continually evolved while staying true to their roots and pushing the boundaries of heavy music on a global level.

Following a run of major live performances this year and last, the band are now set to join KORN for their upcoming European arena dates.

ARCHITECTS released its triumphant eleventh album, "The Sky, The Earth & All Between", in February 2025, delivering some of the band's best music yet. The LP was touted as "serious, fun, deep, kneejerk, angry, and beautiful. It's like life, then, only louder," by Kerrang!, with BLABBERMOUTH.NET calling out the "band's pristine instrumentation." The album earned a #23 spot on the Billboard Rock Albums chart.

The masterful rock album shifts between aggressive, melodic, and experimental sounds while maintaining a cohesive vision, an elemental summation of everything ARCHITECTS have been and could become. From the ferocious single "Blackhole" to the pop-metal brilliance of "Everything Ends", which charted at No. 1 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart.
