Architects Unleash Cinematic ‘Broken Mirror’ Video As UK Festival Date Confirmed

by | Jan 22, 2026

Architects have released the official music video for Broken Mirror, the latest single taken from their current album The Sky, The Earth & All Between. The track captures the band at their most dynamic, balancing moments of vulnerability with towering heaviness and massive, arena-ready choruses.

Broken Mirror ebbs and flows between delicate verses led by Sam Carter’s impassioned vocal delivery and crushing, emotionally charged refrains built for collective sing-alongs. It’s a song that leans into contrast, pairing introspection with force and reaffirming Architects’ ability to evolve while remaining unmistakably themselves.

Directed by Jensen Noen, the Broken Mirror video plays out as a dark, cinematic short film. Following Carter through a sequence of brutal, militia-style training exercises that culminate in a tense firefight, the visual mirrors the song’s internal conflict and emotional weight. Gritty and atmospheric, it captures both fragility and aggression in equal measure, reinforcing the track’s core themes through striking imagery.

The release of Broken Mirror follows a major milestone for the band, with Everything Ends becoming Architects’ first-ever number one at U.S. Active Rock Radio. Both tracks appear on The Sky, The Earth & All Between, the band’s eleventh studio album, which has now surpassed 90,000 album units sold and continues to underline Architects’ sustained global momentum.

Produced by Jordan Fish, the album showcases expansive soundscapes, sharp dynamics and emotionally charged songwriting. It marks a bold chapter in Architects’ career, fusing ferocious modern metal with melody and depth, while reflecting the band’s journey from Brighton pub shows to sharing stages with the biggest names in heavy music.
