ALIVE IS THE ARCHITECTURE

About Me

We are ALIVE IS THE ARCHITECTURE. Enjoy the sights and sounds, and let us know what you think!
“A compelling wall of sound—one layered with intricate leads, and bolstered by heartfelt lyrics and emotive vocals—sums up the creative aim of Pennsylvania’s Alive is the Architecture. This 5-piece progressive hardcore outfit from the Pittsburgh area crafts and puts forth a rare blend of sounds: the unrelenting force and technicality of Misery Signals, the hardcore sensibilities of Shai Hulud, and the atmospheric density of prog-metal kings Intronaut. Each of these aspects finds its way into the band’s 8-song release entitled "DEPARTURE"—which, lyrically, chronicles an unnamed protagonist’s voyage from the mire of stasis to adventurous flight. At times stunning, at others punishing, but always emotionally charged, Alive is the Architecture promises their listeners a unique and provocative journey.”
