The discography of Architects, a British metalcore band, consists of eleven studio albums, one split EP, two live albums, one video album, one demo album, thirty-three singles and 40 music videos. Formed in Brighton in 2004, the group originally consisted of vocalist Matt Johnson, guitarists Tom Searle and Tim Hillier-Brook, bassist Tim Lucas and drummer Dan Searle, who released the band's debut album Nightmares in 2006.[1] In 2007, Johnson was replaced by Sam Carter and Lucas was replaced by Ali Dean, and the band released its second album Ruin.[1] Hollow Crown followed on Century Media Records in 2009, which was the band's first album to register on the UK Albums Chart, reaching number 117.[2] The band released The Here and Now in January 2011, which reached number 57 on the UK Albums Chart and topped the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart.[2][3]

Dean briefly left Architects shortly after the release of The Here and Now, but returned a few months later.[4] The band's fifth album Daybreaker was released in 2012, reaching number 42 on the UK Albums Chart and topping the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart.[2][5] Hillier-Brook left the band shortly before the release of Daybreaker, with Sylosis frontman Josh Middleton temporarily taking his place.[6] After signing with Epitaph Records, the band issued Lost Forever // Lost Together in 2014, which reached the UK top 20 and charted on the US Billboard 200 for the first time in the band's career, reaching number 125.[2][7] Later in the year, Adam Christianson joined as the latest in a line of touring guitarists (he previously had a brief stint in 2012), before he would later become an official member of the band in 2015.[8]
In May 2016, Architects released their seventh album All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us.[1] The album reached number 15 in the UK,[2] the top ten in Australia and Germany,[9][10] and number 109 in the US.[7] The album was the band's last to feature guitarist Tom Searle, who died from cancer on 20 August 2016.[11] Searle's brother Dan, the band's drummer, admitted that "I don't know what will become of Architects", casting doubt on the future of the band.[12] The band announced that they were working on new material in August 2017,[13] and a week later released their first song since Searle's death, "Doomsday".[14] Holy Hell was released on 9 November 2018.[15] Their ninth studio album, For Those That Wish to Exist, was released on 26 February 2021.[16] Its follow-up and the tenth studio album, The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit, was released on 21 October 2022.[17] Their eleventh studio album, The Sky, the Earth & All Between, was released on 28 February 2025.[18]
