10 Best British Metal Bands Right Now

This decade has seen the rise of metalcore in popularity and Brighton kings, Architects are doing it better than anyone. Progressing in venue size upon every album and tour, Architects are now firmly in the land of arenas. They’ve headlined in the same venues as The 1975, Bryan Adams and Christina Aguilera this year, proving their excellence every time they hit the stage.

Architects have made it through a lot in recent years, notably the death of band founder, songwriter, and guitar wizard, Tom Searle but through this struggle an inexplicable bond between band and fan has been tightened. Architects have defined a modern age of metalcore, their message touches many and they’re one of the best metal bands Britain has ever produced.
