Canadian technical death metal powerhouse ARCHSPIRE have unleashed a music video for "The Vessel," the latest single from their forthcoming fifth studio album Too Fast To Die, due April 10, 2026.
Directed by guitarist Dean Lamb, the clip tackles artificial intelligence in music production through a sharp satirical lens — introducing the fictional "Phrygian Dominator," a jab at AI-driven creative automation co-conceived with vocalist Oliver Rae Aleron and assistant director Sav Bagshaw.
Too Fast To Die marks ARCHSPIRE's first fully independent release. The band crowdfunded the album and raised nearly $400,000 CAD in just 30 days — blowing past their initial target in under 24 hours. The eight-track record also debuts new drummer Spencer Moore.
Tracklist:
- Liminal Cypher
- Red Goliath
- Carrion Ladder
- Anomalous Descent
- The Vessel
- Limb of Leviticus
- Deadbolt the Backward
- Too Fast to Die
Previous singles "Carrion Ladder," "Limb of Leviticus," and "Red Goliath" have already lit up the tech-death community. Following the album's release, ARCHSPIRE head out on the Long Roads Big Loads Tour with UNDEATH, CROWN MAGNETAR, and MUTILATION BARBECUE — running April 24 through June 6.
