by Ryan Minic | Dec 1, 2013

Architects have dropped off their current tour with Protest The Hero and have been replaced by The Contortionist.

The band said they’re mentally and physically exhausted because they started the tour immediately after an intense period of recording their new album.

“[W]e have nothing left in us after the extremely long year we have had thus far. We have hit a brick wall and desperately need a break to be home, get healthy and clear our minds for the remainder of the year.”

The Contortionist will join the following dates:

Dec 02 Atlanta, GA @ Masquerade
Dec 03 Orlando, FL @ The Beacham
Dec 05 Greensboro, NC @ Greene Street Club
Dec 06 Cleveland, OH @ Agora Ballroom
Dec 07 Chicago, IL @ Bottom Lounge
Dec 08 Detroit, MI @ Magic Stick
Dec 10 Pittsburgh, PA @ Mr Smalls
