Archspire is a technical death metal band from Vancouver, British Columbia. They are currently signed to Season of Mist[1] The group has released two studio albums and a third, Relentless Mutation, is scheduled to be released in 2017.[2]

History

The band was formed in 2007 as Defenestrated, but changed their name to Archspire in 2009.[3]

In April 2011, Trendkill Recordings released All Shall Align, the band's first album. It was recorded between May and December 2010 working with producer Stuart McKillop at The Hive studios[4]

In 2013 Archspire signed with Season of Mist,[5] and returned to Rain City Recorders to produce a second album with Stuart McKillop.[6] On February 2, 2014, the band released a single from their upcoming album, "Lucid Collective Somnambulation",[7] and in April released The Lucid Collective.[1][8][9]

In January 2015 the band announced they were seeking a permanent bass player as a replacement for then-touring bassist Clayton Harder. They asked interested parties to record a video of themselves playing an Archspire song (they suggested "Deathless Ringing") and sending the band a link.[10] On January 12 the band announced they'd selected Jared Smith to become their full-time bassist, and posted Jared's play through video of "Lucid Collective Somnambulation".[11]

The band announced their third album Relentless Mutation and a single, "Involuntary Doppelgänger" on July 5, 2017. The album will be released on September 22, 2017.[12]
