Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Architects - "Machine"
Sam Carter performs in a flooded brutalist hall while camcorders, laboratory equipment and figures emerging from dark water give "Machine" its unsettling visual world. Architects released no new videos this week, but this elaborate production remains their busiest upload right now.
Director Jensen Noen also edited the video and shares its creative-direction credit for visual effects. The imagery moves between monumental pillars, clinical apparatus and a glowing table before the song's heavy breakdown. It is a substantial visual accompaniment to a track written by Dan Searle and Carter, with Searle producing and contributing drums, synths and programming.
Architects - "Machine" is drawing nearly three times the daily views of Architects - "Broken Mirror". The latter offers another route into the band's work: a song from The Sky, The Earth & All Between, co-written and produced by Jordan Fish. Its Spanish-subtitled version is also picking up a smaller stream of views.
The subscriber count held steady over the week, following modest growth across the past month. Nearby in rock and metal, Sleep Theory had a particularly busy week for views and added subscribers, while Parkway Drive's subscriber count was unchanged. For Architects, the activity is concentrated in existing releases, with "Machine" turning its flooded performance space into the channel's main attraction.
