“Brain Dead” flips the script with a volatile mix of punk attitude and crushing intensity. Produced by Jordan Fish, the track showcases Sam Carter‘s unmatched vocal range, seamlessly shifting from frenetic screams to guttural growls to soaring melodic cleans. ARCHITECTS are pulling no punches with this one-two combo of new music leading up to their album release.

With Aric Improta and Stephen Harrison of HOUSE OF PROTECTION adding an intriguing layer of musical complexity, “Brain Dead” surges forward with pummeling drums, razor-sharp riffs, and an unrelenting pace that doesn’t let up until it crashes into a mercilessly crushing breakdown. Lyrically, the track delivers a scathing take on modern disillusionment, wrapped in a chaotic, high-energy delivery that embodies ARCHITECTS at their most explosive.

The single arrives alongside a fast-moving, visually striking music video, mirroring the song’s high-adrenaline energy. Shot in true guerilla, L.A.-skate style, the video follows Carter, Improta and Harrison as they tear through the city — skating outside, roaming stadium stands, weaving through tunnels, and lounging on rooftops. Packed with collage-style overlays, glitchy effects, and rapid cuts, the video captures the raw, electrified spirit of the track while delivering a gritty, high-impact visual ride that feels like a skate edit on steroids.

“Brain Dead” pushes ARCHITECTS‘ next chapter into overdrive, following the high-octane run of “Blackhole”, “Whiplash”, “Curse” and “Seeing Red” — a streak that has racked up over 90 million streams and landed the band on Alternative Press, Kerrang!, Revolver and Idobi‘s “Most Anticipated Albums of 2025” lists. If the first four singles are any indication, “The Sky, The Earth & All Between” is shaping up to be their most impactful record yet.
