Architects recently released what appeared to be a standalone single titled "Animals". Turns out the song is off a new Architects record titled For Those That Wish To Exist, due out February 26, 2021. The album features guest appearances by Parkway Drive vocalist Winston McCall, Royal Blood vocalist and bassist Mike Kerr, and Biffy Clyro vocalist and guitarist Simon Neil.
Conceptually, Architects drummer Dan Searle said the album is about the willingness to change.
"This album was me looking at our inability to change to a way of life that would sustain the human race and save the planet," said Searle. "I wanted to look in the mirror and ask ourselves the question of what are going to do, as opposed to trying to point the finger at politicians. Change has to start on a personal level. The world has developed a culture of wanting someone else to deal with it, when we need to take our own responsibility. It has to start there."
