Even this far down the line in a career spanning eight studio albums over 14 years, there are those still struggling to define Architects’ music. Is it metalcore? Math metal? Something else? Which is all a bit of a waste of time when what they really are is intense. And tonight they ramp up that intensity to searing levels.
Having risen from their Brighton origins to sell out such prestigious venues in the capital as the 10,000-capacity Alexandra Palace, tonight the quintet notch up another milestone with this performance in the sumptuous environs of the Royal Albert Hall.
