context_page_description: Lost Forever // Lost Together is the sixth studio album by British metalcore band Architects, released on 11 March 2014 globally through Epitaph Records; with the exception of UNFD in Australia and New Damage in Canada.
  Lost Forever // Lost Together was recorded at Swedish recording studio Studio Fredman with producers Henrik Udd and Fredrik Nordström. They were chosen because of Architects' admiration for the production work Nordström and Udd had done with other metal bands like Bring Me the Horizon and At The Gates. In a conscious decision to not mimic the bluntly political themes of Daybreaker, Architects lyricist Tom Searle wrote about his experiences with cancer, though he still looked at the themes of environmentalism, religious extremism and current affairs. Musically, the band put more focus on post-rock influenced spacey elements with the use of electronics and orchestration.
  Upon its release, Lost Forever // Lost Together received critical acclaim from critics, achieving an aggregated 82/100 on Metacritic, based on six reviews. The album also charted in six countries' mainstream album charts, four of which it achieved places within the top 40.
context_section_description: The first promotional tour for the album was in Europe; it started in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2014, reached through 15 countries, and ended in France on 16 April with constant support from Stray from the Path and Northlane while Landscapes opened on all of the British dates and More Than Life opened the shows in continental Europe. The tour was proving to be a success as their London date at the Koko sold out nine weeks prior and before any support bands were announced. On 9 June they played the first of three nights of Radio 1 Rocks alongside Of Mice & Men and Bury Tomorrow at Maida Vale Studios, where they played a four-song set of "Naysayer"', "Broken Cross", "Colony Collapse" and "Gravedigger".
  From 25 April to 21 May, Architects toured the United States in a co-headline tour letlive. in support of their album The Blackest Beautiful, with support from Glass Cloud and I The Mighty. The decision to do this tour came from the starting of Carter and Jason Aalon Butler [singer of letlive.] maintaining contact after meeting at the American Warped Tour 2013. Architects approached this tour initially very unsure about the amount of interest in them and saw the positive reception as a far-cry from the poor shows of their first tour of America with Suicide Silence in 2007 on The Cleansing The Nation Tour. Carter has commented that their 2013 tours of the United States with Enter Shikari and Protest The Hero helped "steer them in the right direction". Across the summer the band has lined up an array of European festival dates, including the British Reading & Leeds Festivals.
  In further support of the record, they have lined up a supporting tour of The Amity Affliction in Australia, including two headline shows of their own in the country, and a Canadian tour; all across August and September. Across February and March 2015 Architects have lined-up a European headline tour with Every Time I Die, Blessthefall and Counterparts supporting.
