After teasing it in recent days, UK metalcore leaders Architects have delivered a new single titled ‘Seeing Red’.

The track comes as the Brighton-based quartet prepares for a run of mainland European shows in the New Year with Spiritbox and Loathe.

‘Seeing Red’ captures Architects at their equally heaviest and anthemic. It’s the band’s first material since last year’s The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit’ full-length, as well as the departure of Josh Middleton. The lead guitarist departed the band in May.

The release of ‘Seeing Red’ coincides with the announcement of US (and Canada) tour in May.

“We’re so happy to release Seeing Red and to announce our US tour,” commented vocalist Sam Carter. “This marks another very important and exciting time for our band and we can’t wait to have rooms of people enjoy this song with us.”

As previously announced, Architects will be headlining Bloodstock Open Air Festival 2024.

‘Seeing Red’ Lyrics

Rent free living in your head
‘RIP’ 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?

We’re all you need
We’ll make you royalty
We’ll be the best of enemies

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 dont 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 (gimme that gold)
We’ll be the best of enemies

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?

“Are you happy now?”

Rent free living in your head
‘RIP’ 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 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?
All eyes on me
What I believe
