Lost Forever // Lost Together

Lost Forever // Lost Together is the sixth studio album by English metalcore band Architects. 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 was recorded at Swedish recording studio Studio Fredman with producers Henrik Udd and Fredrik Nordström. 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. 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. Musically, the band put more focus on post-rock influenced spacey elements with the use of electronics and orchestration. Upon its release, Lost Forever // Lost Together received generally positive reviews from critics, achieving an aggregated 79/100 on Metacritic, based on six reviews. The album also charted in six countries' mainstream album charts, four of which it achieved places within the top 40.
