![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There had been a strong negative backlash to the sound of The Here and Now within their fanbase and the music scene, and this negativity started to have an effect on the members. The band members have treated the three-year period between 20 as one of discovery of the band's identity and values. The music featured on The Here and Now was a drastic sonic change from their 2009 third album Hollow Crown 's "technical metalcore", not only due to the band trying not to produce the same album again, but also due to the influence of the softer, more melodic music they were listening to at the time. With the recording of Lost Forever // Lost Together, the band hoped to "once and for all" distance themselves from the "car crash" that was their 2011 album The Here and Now. The band has also promoted the album through shows in Europe, North America and Australasia. The band has released two singles in promotion for the record, "Naysayer" and "Broken Cross", with the former debuting at number 3 on the UK Rock Chart, and have also released a music video for "Gravedigger". The album also charted in six countries' mainstream album charts, four of which it achieved places within the top 40. Upon its release, Lost Forever // Lost Together received generally positive reviews from critics, achieving an aggregated 79/100 on Metacritic, based on six reviews. Musically, the band put more focus on post-rock influenced spacey elements with the use of electronics and orchestration. In a conscious decision to not mimic the bluntly political themes of Daybreaker, Architects lyricist Tom Searle wrote about his experiences with cancer, though he still looked at the themes of environmentalism, religious extremism and current affairs. They were chosen because of Architects' admiration for the production work Nordström and Udd had done with other metal bands like Bring Me the Horizon and At the Gates. Lost Forever // Lost Together was recorded at Swedish recording studio Studio Fredman with producers Henrik Udd and Fredrik Nordström. It was released on 11 March 2014 globally through Epitaph Records with the exception of UNFD in Australia and New Damage in Canada. Lost Forever // Lost Together is the sixth studio album by British metalcore band Architects. ![]()
