Album Review: Architects - Lost Forever // Lost Together

A look at the track listing on Lost Forever // Lost Together might give the impression that Architects have little hope for the world. Despite titles like Colony Collapse, The Devil Is Near and C.A.N.C.E.R, this is metal with a message. It comes across as less a surrender to the inevitable and more a passionate, aggressive call to pull our shit together. With this album, Architects reach into your chest like an Indiana Jones villain, tear out your still-beating heart and make you stare at it for 11 tracks of maximum brutality.
