![]() ![]() ![]() Tom Searle, the band's former guitarist, expressed great enthusiasm for the sound that these producers had shaped for their previous album, reminiscing on hearing the initial demo for the track "Naysayer". Partly because of this, the band elected to re-unite with producers Henrik Udd and Fredrik Nordström for their seventh record. The band chose to follow a similar style of music to their previous album Lost Forever // Lost Together, as it was the album that propelled the band forwards in terms of popularity and reception amongst critics and fans. The band was dissatisfied with the album, which created a feeling of "uncertainty" amongst Architects as to what course of action needed to be taken in order to move on from the album. The initial loss of confidence was largely due to the backlash from fans surrounding their 2011 album The Here and Now. In the video, the band spoke on how they had entered the recording process with much more confidence than they previously exhibited when working on their past material. On 30 March 2016, the band's record label Epitaph uploaded the first part of a video documentary on the writing and recording process surrounding All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, to their official YouTube channel. The album was recorded in "seven grueling weeks" with producers Hendrik Udd and Fredrik Nordström. In an article published by the band's Australian record label UNFD, it is stated that the band flew to Gothenburg, Sweden in October 2015 to begin recording the album at Studio Fredman, where they had recorded their previous album Lost Forever // Lost Together nearly two years prior. ![]() Recorded in Gothenburg, Sweden, it was described by as the "heaviest and darkest work to which Architects have ever put their name to " and "an album that challenges and progresses a genre long thought to have stagnated, and embraces its inspirations at a time when many rock and metal bands seek to hide them in search of mainstream acceptance". ![]() It is also the band's final album to include founding guitarist and primary songwriter, Tom Searle, before his passing on 20 August 2016, due to cancer. It is the band's first album to feature guitarist Adam Christianson, following his addition to the band as a full-time member after his tenure as a touring guitarist through 2012 to 2015. The album peaked at number 109 on the Billboard 200, and reached number 15 on the UK Albums Chart. It was released on globally through Epitaph Records with the exception of UNFD in Australia and New Damage in Canada. All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us is the seventh studio album by British metalcore band Architects. ![]()
