[[File:Architects02.JPG|thumb|200px|[[Architects (British band)|Architects]] were one of the most prominent metalcore bands in the 2010s]]
Architect's ''[[All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us]]'' (2016) was released to critical acclaim, with ''Metal Hammer'' writer Stephen Hill called it "as close to a perfect metal record as one can imagine". The following year, they released the single "[[Doomsday (Architects song)|Doomsday]]", their first release since the death of the band's founding guitarist Tom Searle. In the years following the single's release, the song's sound became widely imitated within the metalcore scene,<ref name="Hill and Alderslade, 2023" /> particularly the song's introduction guitar riff.<ref name="Hysteria" />

As the decade drew to a close, a new wave of bands in the genre emerged who harkened back to the metallic hardcore sound of bands from the 1990s.
