Thanks for the shout out and delighted that you both liked it. There is another similar slower track on the latest album called ‘flight without feathers’ at approx the halfway point in the album which provides a palette cleanser for the massive second half of the album. ‘Dying is absolutely safe’ is the album closer and winds you down beautifully. If you would like to try something with a balance of vocal styles from the “For those who wish to exist album” I can recommend Giving Blood or Goliath though there are no VTs for those. For something more hard hitting musically and lyrically you could try ‘Discourse is dead” or ‘An ordinary extinction” but those would be probably more to Gingers tastes than Mikes. Maybe having heard and aired a few tracks you might want to listen to the whole album off channel as it is truly excellent but I for one would be delighted if you tried out a few more Architects tracks. By the way when i spoke about Sams’s range hopefully it was obvious that i meant from all out scream to beautiful cleans and not pitch. He is not Floor Jansen.
How about checking out 𝐖𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐤𝐤𝐢 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐝 again? If that does not sound totally preposterous and you could entertain the idea, here is a recommendation(s): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aWlMc-pbDc8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WSQ7z-dbbKs.html The first one is instrumental Kyougasuigetsu followed by the song Tsukini sakebuyoru (with cc/lyrics). That has, well, all kinds of (metally) feel. Second song is Hangeki no yaiba (with cc/lyrics). That has, well...more live action. (being a theme song for Attack on Titan live-action miniseries)
It's a very understated performance for Sam, this does not say anything about his talent as a singer. Other songs he's sung have much more power in his vocals, it's quiet and calm in this song on purpose. He has such a wide range beyond this!
You need better headphones if you think the music was drowning out his voice. Sam is one of the best metalcore vocalist out there, while giving his best vocals in a song dedicated to Tom, the original lead guitarist and song writer of Architects who died of skin cancer
