We’d then come back to the jam spot and change riffs and ideas based on what everyone was thinking about during the week. We recorded rehearsal every day and listened to what we did afterward. “We wanted the album to be more accessible to more people but still keep it extreme, fast and technical. “The most important thing was that we had clever songwriting,” adds Prewett. We had the viewpoint of ‘What do crowds like? What parts should we write more of? What parts do people give us good feedback on?’ We wanted to expand and write those parts more consistently - there are more hooks and when we do have hooks, we wanted to repeat those parts so people will know that this is the catchy part of the song.”

“Since then, we toured more than we ever did before. “The benefit we had was that Relentless came out in 2017,” says Lamb. Archspire then subjected the album’s eight songs to near-constant critiquing that ensured they came away with a product, that in their estimation, is their best to date. Of course, none of that happened, prompting the band to do more pre-production than at any time in their career. But by the end of the fraught calendar year that was 2020, the band emerged with their fourth studio album, Bleed the Future.Īccording to the members of Archspire - vocalist Oli Aleron, guitarists Dean Lamb and Tobi Morelli, bassist Jared Smith and drummer Spencer Prewett - they originally went into the making of Bleed the Future under the idea they would finish the album in between the various tours scheduled for 2020. The global pandemic heightened the situation (read: no touring, expanded free time) and caused Archspire to turn inward and apply additional rigor to their songwriting process, albeit painstakingly so. Thus, the pressure was already there to top Relentless Mutation when the band started to compile new songs in 2018. It was, unquestionably, an innovation of sound and technique - Archspire had broken the speed barrier while creating songs memorable as they were unabashedly extreme for extreme metal. Archspire’s 2017 Relentless Mutation was a cavalcade of speed and extremity - blasting, accelerating and, in partial reference to its title, “mutating” as each song unfolded, all the while rapid-fire, shotgun vocals blurred the lines between a man’s throat and additional instrument.
