Adam Christianson

Guitarist for the British metalcore band Architects. He initially started as a touring musician with the band, but became a permanent member in the spring of 2015. He’s always preferred Baritone guitars over traditional scale models. He was a member of the band when fellow guitarist and founding member Tom Searle passed away at the age of 28 from melanoma. He’s originally from Canada and has been vegan. Tom and Dan Searle started the band together in 2004.

Have you ever considered bringing someone in to play these parts live? Adam: “We’ve thrown around the idea a little in the past. It seems every album cycle has more stuff on stage. Our bassist Ali has a synth set up, so he does a lot of keyboard stuff. “I use this little launchpad thing that I use to trigger samples – it could be piano or background noises… who knows! I’m sure we’ll have plenty more gear on stage but who knows about another member or player.”
