Architects have released a documentary ahead of the launch of their new album Holy Hell.
The record will launch on November 9 via Epitaph Records and will be their first since the death of guitarist Tom Searle, who passed away in 2016 after a three year battle with cancer.
The 22-minute Tom Welsh film titled Holy Ghost features interviews with the band where they talk about Tom, how his passing impacted the music on the new album, his legacy, preparing to play without him for the first time, writing and recording the new album and moving forward with guitarist Josh Middleton.
Drummer Dan Searle says: “My brother was the songwriter. He has died and we’re carrying on without him, and then I’ve written the album about that.
“So it’s sort of engulfed my life and everything to do with it is about my life, so you couldn’t really think of anything more personal.”
Architects will head out on tour later this year for shows in Russia and Ukraine, and will return to the UK and Europe in early 2019 for further dates.
The band previously released the singles Hereafter and Royal Beggars from the new record.
