#Interview #Loudwire #SonicTemple #Metal - Hudba
God bleghss this band
Just when I thought the Blegh jokes had been exhausted. This absolute beauty comes along.
@@Alex-Walker This joke is like the energizer bunny. Still goin'.
underrated
Stop it
Hahahah
It's crazy because the band is going to therapy and at the same time, their music is therapy for me.
So true
I’m glad for you two
I feel the same way.
They guide other to a treasure the cannot possess
STFU
Why is no one acknowledging how good this interviewer is?
I dunno tbh but he is, he's actually asking good questions rather than most people.
cus hes always good
He's been so good for so long for Loudwire that it's just a given at this point
Graham is awesome ;)
True that!
Who would have known that Blink - 182
could inspire a kid to become amongst the best vocalist in the heavy metal scene
Ikr it's all he'd listen to at secondary school, even in a band called "stories for 9 year olds" hahahaha
I can’t even listen to an interview without tearing up.
Never felt so intimately connected with a band’s music before. And I think it’s due to their inherent sensitivity, integrity and sincerity.
They reach out to us to help us. Nobody else does that rn
Damn was I watching Loudwire or Heart Support? What a great interview
One of the best modern metal bands around today
*the best
Hutch no* A7X are better musicians
I like sylosis a bit better, but architect is really good
Scoopski That was pretty good. Have you considered doing stand-up?
It's either Architects or Currents for me.
Great interview. Sam is such a humble, sensitive and smart guy. He really became a role model for me in the recent years.
Brilliant well thought out questions from an interviewer who genuinely cares :) and obviously brilliant answers from Sam.
Poor guy, looks so tired...
Stay Metal \m/
he's looked tired since 2006 bro
@@Hoptropolis He's never tired on the stage though
Was lucky enough to be at the Wembley Arena gig and it was phenomenal. One of the best live bands in the world right now.
I was at wembley as well, and Ally Pally a year before, they never disapoint, so much energy and they are all great musicians
Yeah I was at Wembley, fucking stellar performance. Also big ups to Beartooth and Polaris, who set the show off to an incredible start.
Death is Not Defeat is my favorite song of theirs. “…once it ignites, the flame MUSTDECAY!!” Holy fuck I get goosebumps every time at that point of the song. It’s so epic.
Where will ever be a moment they mention Tom or what happened, and I won’t break up in tears like a total mess? Don’t know, but this interview was so interesting and honest.
All my love, Sam ♥️
Architects are the best metalcore band
Debatable. Oceans ate alaska/veil of maya. You must not listen to alot of different shit.
@@cerebralwolf666 i do think Architects are the best but ok, i would accept silent planet or something else, but "Oceans ate alaska". Yeah idk about that lol.
@@cerebralwolf666 just cuz I think they're the best doesn't mean I don't listen to different stuff definitely like oceans ate Alaska but c'mon they're not in the same level
Metalcore very different genre. I mean architects really cool band also, as ı lay dying more heavy or august burns red very melodic band or the other good bands,they are different.
shadow-Leena God, shut up lol
I look up to Sam so much. The rest of the band are lovely people too and when it comes to being a good person I’ll always look towards Architects as a reminder. Strong, kind, genuine fellas🖤
Brilliant interview, Graham did an excellent job! It makes me genuinely happy seeing more and more musicians talking about mental health and therapy, mad respect for every single member of Architects 🖤
This man and Sophie K are among the best interviewers I have seen so far. Both have amazing questions and are well researched. Respect.
Their concert was unreal, so much love for architects
M Shadows - atheist
Sam Carter - atheist
both sing about God and religious topics
So? Wouldn't it be a hypocritical double standard for only theists to talk about God?
@@clipboss8052 wut?
@@clipboss8052 Absolutely not as the atheist would no nothing about God.
@@kylec8950 wrong. Most atheists have studied many religions and beliefs. How else did they conclude its all bullshit. If the crutch helps you deal with your mortality than more power to you.
@@codyb9205 Just because you studied "beliefs" definitely does not mean you know about God. They are not synonymous.
Architects will always be my favorite band
Seen them in Glasgow, I still get chills thinking about it. Such a release, my emotions were high and I didn’t know I needed it so badly. The music has helped me through my own grief and hearing men openly talk about therapy and grief is refreshing and honest. Thank you!
How could 15 people dislike this video? What a wonderful interview, props to you both!
Ugh this man ❤️ so genuine. Long live architects and tom ✨
Loved this - such a positive and refreshing interview. Thank you!
Sam has always seemed like such an intelligent and caring person to me. Not to mention he’s an amazing vocalist!
Let's just say it how it is... Gone with the wind is up there with the most emotional perfect songs created by man...ever... even if you dont like the style of music,you feel every second of that song
Ladies and gentlemen, you are watching the unsurpassed, greatest man of all time. Show your respects in the comment section by typing a gruesome
BLEGH
BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGHHHHHHHHHHH
BBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(while listening to these colours dont run break down,) BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUGGGGGGHHHH
I’m going into a hospital sooner or later for counseling. I’m a whole mess and I just want to go away and have someone to talk to
I feel like that often as well. I hope you feel better soon Frankie!
♥️
Take care man! ❤️ just let it all out and it’s okay don’t feel bad at all afterwards
If anything I hope you feel much better afterwards
While I don’t know what you’re going through exactly, I do know that reaching out is the best thing you can do for yourself. Hold on, brother. You are worth it. Much love.
the vocal delivery of AND I WILL KNOW THAAAAAT DEATH IS NOT DEFEAAAT at the end of the song gives me fucking goosebumps 5 years later in 2023. What a trilogy of albums LF/LT, Gods, and Holy Hell are.
These guys give me so much energy, they are so awesome, and like good architects, they create awesome things
this was a fantastic interview, props to Sam and Graham for their honesty
Those guys put their hearts into their performance and the over all takeaway was cathartic and so moving. Many thanks, Architects.
Much love for architects. Great musicians and genuine people
Traveled from Dayton to Chicago to see them last week at Concord. They genuinely seemed happier than when I saw them in Cleveland a year or two ago.
Thanks for this great interview! Glad to hear that guys are doing better
Architects were definitely one of the best sets at Sonic Temple, and the pit was equally great. I had never heard them before, they won at least one new fan!
how comes that americans only listen to american bands isn't that quite boring?
SlashpLOder that’s quite the generalization to be making.
@@SlashpLOder It's not about being American, it's about being over 40 and not listening to enough newer bands. Festivals and their subsequent mosh pits are a great way to get to learn about bands you wouldn't have otherwise pushed yourself to learn about in your busy life. As many people get older, they kind of know what they like, and sometimes newer bands sound too familiar, so they aren't as interesting.
I hope Sonic Temple has Alien Weaponry there next year., I've heard them a lot on Liquid Metal over the last year, and their vids are sick.
They kicked ass at Welcome to Rockville. I never heard of them before then. My nephew was the one who wanted to see their set, very glade I checked them out.
And kse too that whole crowd was insane
Ah man, I have so much time for this band. They’re so honest. I feel it all when I watch them live. I hope they continue to smash it.
Big respect for both Sam and the interviewer. Honest, open and real with their vulnerability. We need more of this.
I always love your interviews, you ask great questions and it gives great responses by the artists.
Wow, what an incredible interview. Props to the interviewer for asking the hard questions.
Sam always comes across as genuine and relaxed in Interviews. Great to see both him and the rest of the band doing well! :)
We miss you Tom! RIP ❤
Its so good to see people commenting good things about Graham (interviewer). In his early interviews people complained about him a lot, he might have taken that as feedback and got better and people are acknowlegding that. Great interview
I had the pleasure of meeting the band during their shooting for learn to live and I absolutely adore how down to earth they are to speak to, I had the pleasure of meeting Tom and I'm so glad I did. Seeing them late with a flat wheel pushing a van with such excitement and smoking with them whilst it snows will always be a highlight of my life ❤
Graham is such a polite and respectful interviewer and always has intelligent well thought questions.
My buddy showed me architects last year. And it has completely changed my life!
Sam is always a breath of fresh air when it comes to multiple POVs in life. Damn. I will always have a huge amount of respect and love for him (and @sophiafoxdog)
And massive praise to this interviewer. You’re fucking rad, my dude.
My favorite Architects interview, emphatically.
I know this is 3 years old, but Graham really came into his own, being confident and stuff. I really like it.
Mad props to Graham for opening so freely and talked about deep things while creatin' a trust climate with Sam. Fuckin' real, honest, sincere, free and mature interview. Nothing but love comin' from both sides.
Thank you, why those kind of ITW (fuck the music - we want to see to grown-ups talkin' about real shit) are so rare?!
Wow, this is a great interview!
Great interview. Im listening to it each month or close to.
Fuck, I'm really sorry for what happened to Tom, but this guy's is living my dream : being the singer of a thriving metal band he has with his best friends and living with them, can't think of a better life, force to you Sam, you're truly a hero to me. I saw them in Montreal two weeks ago, front line, this guy brought me some much needed tears.
Glad that you got the lap on the table in focus!
Love these guys so much.
Really liked the interview dude, keep it up!
Also, i noticed that Sam looked tired as hell, can't imagine touring like they do.
Love this band tho
“Holy war” tour was the epitome of a perfect “metalcore” show. And for me reins royalty in the best concerts I’ve ever seen period. I’ve seen some absolute insanely mental shows…. Bands that even the guys in architects would probably praise to see. Holy hell tour is the show I judge every show I’ve seen recently and the future to come. Literally perfect in every aspect. I seen 3 shows in a row of that tour. All 3 had the exact same effect on me. Different cities, different crowds. The same love and kindness…. But a perfect balance of released tension. A fan base that understood this was a show for accepting the weight of grievance. After my peers and I raged in the pit while the band hit those heavy tracks that it would’ve been respectable to have little mistakes during…… absolutely amazed how tight and on point the band was; darkness covered the crowd. And as an aggressive “FOR TOM” call out echoed to the stage. Silencing the “encore” chanting the best fans were screamingly begging for…. After the first encore the band probably had planned….. Sam came out of the darkness. Choked up from the love and warmth radiating from the whole crowd. He whispered with a raspy voice…. “For Tom then” and “Gone with the wind” blasted the crowd. As tears fell to the venue floor nearly flooding the pit…. My peers an I moshed arguably the hardest we ever have. Maybe even the hardest we ever will. Ive been in quite a few dangerous pits, holy war pit was the craziest… wildest…. But also most respectful and kind pit I’ve ever been apart of. Lifted a handicapped young adult for a surf… after people circled him in the pit acknowledging the dangerous experience it could end up to be….. the pit took extra care not to tarnish his moment, but also respect the dangers. Mid show as the kid is floating on the sea of bodies, he makes his way to the front. Security helped him over the rails, sam came an shook his hand. And had the security bring him left stage right behind the towering speakers. Greatest metalcore show bar none
And not to write a novel in the comments 🤣 but context…. Billy idol at age 5 is my all time favorite show. Out of the hundreds of absolutely mental bands I’ve seen live…. None have came close to Billy idol. Architects hit that the first show I seen. With Tom. And the 2 other the 2nd being the last show I’d see with tom. With holy hell being so tight and crisp on the album…. I had low hopes, shows with Tom were already some of my best memories…. I wanted to be disappointed in the most respectful way. For Tom. That show blew me away. Spiritbox almost hit that. Sleeptoken hit that par with how good they sounded live. Wish the crowd was as good as the architects one tho….. the original “metalcore” live show for myself was “for we are many” anniversary tour. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that was one of the last tours oli played before he passed. Oli is a huge influence on my musical interest. Probably my favorite guitarist or just musician in general. Tom was the guitarist that opened my eyes to how huge sorrow sounds in a intricate metal riff. Something I was searching for as a young age after Steve stevens in Billy idol ripped a solo with his tongue, and ending it behind his back. The pressure from anchoring it on his head made the guitar detune. And the dissonant solo pierced the crowds ears. Most people displeased as it mirrored the sound of a dying boar. The moment I knew I wanted to play guitar. Since the age of 5, I’ve been listening for that dissonance…. Hungry for the sorrow Steve left in the very fibers of my being. Tom was the first guitarist that in my humble opinion, captured that sorrow. Not just in the riffs, but how he structured the whole idea of each song. Architects opened my ears to music I would’ve never considered. Hardcore/metalcore/deathcore/djent…. That before them I would give a listen and give some respect and then it would disappear from my curious ears. As a young teen I was classic metal elitist. Blind to the emotion that heavy music can bring. Architects was among the few bands that broke that in me. The band I never knew I would need almost….. what’s it been almost 2 decades now? Maybe one and some loose pocket change months. Young age of 30 hit me this year. Something I was sure I wouldn’t see. Not to be cliche but this band helped me along the way. I like to think Tom was in the crowd thise few shows of Holly hell. And by the 3rd show he recognized me, a complete stranger…. But a friendly face he’d passed the few shows before. As a simple head nod and “you again” i imaged him throwing my way. The thought brought me happiness I’ve only known as a child. My father recently passed. The last phone call I had with him “what’s the name of that song that challenged you to insanity as a young man?” ~these colours don’t run.
This was so interesting. thank you Sam for being so honest.
This band saved my life. Hereafter made me cry the first time I heard it.
I like how they beeped Sam's first 'fuck' and a few seconds after they just didn't bother anymore
Love this man
Boston Manor playing in the background. Love.
This man makes awesome interviews
love this guy, love this band
Saw these guys last week in Toronto, and they're fucking phenomenal as a live band. If you have a chance to see them, jump on it.
I'm so pissed I had a full blown panic attack during their second song and left. Hopefully they come back to the states soon so I can see them again.
@Kyle O'Connor wtf does diet have to do with it?! Eating healthy can make u feel better but it's not gonna cure your anxiety. People have anxiety. It's not always controllable. Being in a big place surrounded by a shit load of people can trigger anxiety attacks for tons of people. Including me. I had the same thing happen. Was at a Korn concert back when they were touring for see you on the other side. Couple songs in I had a panic attack and had to leave. You clearly don't understand how anxiety works. You can't just choose to not have anxiety. Guess you can't understand what it's like unless you've had to deal with it. Which I hope you don't. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
@Kyle O'Connor first off, I'm diagnosed bipolar 2, PTSD, panic and anxiety disorder. Secondly, It's my first festival in 10 years. Theres nowhere quiet to go to when theres three stages and thousands and thousands of people. Luckily I made it through Plot, Movements, Fever 333 and Black Dhalia. I only paid $20 for my ticket so I got my money's worth.
YOU need to do your research on mental disorders before making fun of someone. Its 2019 dude. Be kind to one another.
@Kyle O'Connor your statement is the problem with the way we look at anxiety today in the world. "welll why?!?!?" Dude we don't fucking know why it hits us when it does but it does we do what we need to do
I went to the show in Montreal! It was awesome
Architects are an amazing live band
Seeing them tonight ❤️
This a good interview, Graham is top tier.
Man the bond between the members of Architects is so powerful. It's such a rarity to see in bands nowadays.
Best metal band from the history of metal music in my opinion.
That's right i think the same way
*blegh!*
Architects always helps me pump more iron at the gym :D
Emotions are the universal language, even to some animals, sonunds maybe crazy for some, but from my expirience this is the way how you can communicate to dogs and cows, they are the only animals I spend a lot of time with, but I'm sure with a lot of others, and if you communicate with yourself this way, you can get a lot of things in your mind straight and in order in that chaos, I always wonder what we would think if we wouldn't speak and going with the dog for a walk through the nature is anyways a very good therapy.
This guy is such a great interviewer.
When Cliff Burton passed from Metallica I wonder if they had a better management situation that allowed and encouraged them to have counseling I wonder how that would have affected their music and personal lives. Cheers to Architects!
Architect had a fucking great show in Montreal, love them.
Would just like to say as a man, crying is good..it releases stress and helps through pain..iv lost people and family and I hope people male or female who have issues go to friends and family..life is too short and I hope people are more caring
Instant resubscribe.
The fact that the camera with the two in frame is out of focus, hurts my bones! ¬¬
Good interview. Some sports-journalists should take notes.
Who else broke into tears at the bus watching this? ✋
No? Just me?
Rest in peace Tom Searle. A genius when it comes to making music, we will miss him, the band will miss him and most importantly his family will miss him. I know that he didn't believe in god but I hope that if there is a heaven, that it is there he ends up♥️
Dude is probably exhausted talking about this shit. Y'all keep bringing these things up , it'll make it more difficult for these guys to move on .
metalheadblues I disagree, considering that almost all (if not all) the material they’ve released on Holy Hell is about the healing process and the aftermath of the death of their friend, so therefore, it’s likely to come up in interviews or conversation in general...they want people to talk about these things and want to emphasize that these kinds of emotions and events needs to be discussed, as they should be.
Graham is a damn good interviewer
15 dislikes! Haters gonna hate. Great interview!😁😁
gruhamed is such a great interviewer.
Architects Fact or Fiction?
The fuck?
@@rhyscooper6255 the host of the show also hosts little spots where he interviews artists regarding their wikipedia page. its called Band Name X: Fact or Fiction.
@@adamkahn8645 Ah I seeeeee
Great Interview. They are very harmonious together. But Sam looks very tired. He needs to take care of himself.
Sam Carter is an inspiring dude
these guys are so fucking talented... Sam.. you fucking are rock stars. viva Architects ♡
woooooow i never knew the guy died and right before wrote that 2016 album. i didn't like it, it made me feel bad. and now i know why!! i never listened to holy hell cuz i assumed they were just depressing now or always were and i was depressed so didn't mind but now man i need that positivity i will definitely listen to their new album. there is a lot of music i dont like anymore that i realize just makes me feel bad...like a lot like birds or kurt travis stuff now. oof. you can feel their trauma is what im getting at.
Yeah the death of Tom affected them very much but the fact that they are still a band and making their late brother proud is just amazing
I personally dont understand how people can all of a sudden dislike a certain type of music because of how it makes/made them feel. songs are a time capsule and you can use them to revisit memories/feelings you felt at the time of you listening to the song and first connecting with it. don't run away from it fucking embrace it and realise that shit makes you who you are now.
@@badboy0510 listening to music i dont like makes me who i am? not what your getting at maybe idk lol i disagree with you tho. music is just music it can be whatever, everyone decides their own reality. i've never been big on nostalgia and i dont experience it like other people for the most part but i like my n64 soundtracks
@@o00thunderhawk00o you said there is music you don't like anymore because of the way it makes you feel. I'm saying you shouldn't dislike music you once liked for that reason, embrace the feeling.
@@badboy0510 frig that, if i get burned from the grill at work by a splash of oil am i gonna embrace the feeling? no! im gonna say "ow!" and then release my pain. no one should be in pain it took me a while to realize this. and yeah maybe that feeling is pain thats why i dont like it, its arbitrary. i honestly cant understand how you think just cuz i once thought i liked a song that i have to continue to feel the same way about it. my feelings change and i vibe with different shiz! i dont like linkin park anymore but used to back in 2009, especially if he actually killed himself then screw that i dont want that energy in my life. thats sadness and when there is so much positive stuff out there on bandcamp who needs it?
from about 8 minutes on, i love that Sam accepts that other peoples beliefs are valid. No matter what has been said before in terms of even his beliefs...
fuckin hell i love him so much
Rip architects 😔 you used to be so good.
🖤
He looks so different, almost like Charlie Holmes.
Sam is amazing!
5:13 I heard that :)
