British band Architects has just announced the dates of the next European tour in which they will present their new album, Holy Hell (Epitaph Records, 2018) which will go on sale next November 9th. It will be the first studio album since the death in 2016 of their guitarist Tom Searle after three years of battle with cancer. Recently, his brother drummer Dan Searle has explained “In those first months after Tom’s death, I didn’t deal with it at all and I felt so unhappy and anxious. I’d ignored it and just tried to cope. But I knew that at some point, I had to learn from it. Ultimately, there were two choices: Feel sorry for yourself and believe the world to be a horrible place and let it defeat you. Or let it inspire us to live the life that Tom would have wanted us to live." So, the band from Brighton spent six months recording an 11-track album, which was co-produced by own Dan and also by the guitarist Josh Middleton.
Coinciding with the announcement of the release of the album, the band also announced a European tour that will take place throughout January and February of 2019 after some dates in Russia and Ukraine in December 2018. Supporting bands of this tour will be Polaris and Beartooth and tickets will go on sale on September 14 from 09:00 (GMT).
