March 5, 2021

UK Metalcore band Architects secured their first #1 spot on the official charts in the UK with their 9th studio record ‘For Those That Wish To Exist’. It’s also the first #1 in Europe for the bands’ label Epitaph, an independent punk-label from Los Angeles, California. It’s not every day that a metalcore band leads the official charts. It was a joined effort. Not only the band pushed the record sellings with every tweet, interview, and chat but also the fans, the record label, the press, promoters, radio channels, and many fellow bands. Congratulations to band and label for this great achievement! This week Architects also announced three album release shows in the UK, which sold out in a matter of seconds. The shows will take place in late July and August. Let’s hope worldwide touring will be back soon, so everyone can enjoy the live experience of the new songs.
