'Dead Butterflies' is tease #3 of the album the band is soon to unleash.

Dropping the third single from For Those That Wish To Exist this week, Architects is yet another wholly realised snapshot of the band's growth and reinvigoration.

Cathartic, anthemic, booming...all pretty bang on descriptions of the track. The way the music swells is one thing, the tightness of Architects' performance dynamic is another thing to be impressed by.

The melodies, plus the punishing heavy arrangement matched with strings add drama to 'Dead Butterflies'. And with an accompanying video capturing Architects in full flight at the Royal Albert Hall, it serves as another reminder of what the band is capable of on stage.

For Those That Wish To Exist is out February 26, as a reminder, featuring some huge collabs with the likes of Parkway's Winston McCall, Royal Blood's Mike Kerr and Simon Neil from Biffy Clyro.

For fun, go back and listen to 'Dead Butterflies' directly after their previously released singles from this upcoming era - 'Animals' and 'Black Lungs'.

Long time Architects fans will be able to note the band's demonstrated evolution, and newcomers can simply have their heads blown off for a couple of minutes apiece.
