Archspire is a technical death metal band from Vancouver, Canada, formed in 2009. Known for extreme speed, surgical precision and vocalist Oliver Rae Aleron's rapid-fire delivery, they built a devoted following across four albums on Season of Mist - most notably 'Relentless Mutation' (2017) and 'Bleed the Future' (2021), the latter winning the 2022 Juno Award for Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year. In 2026 they released their fifth album, 'Too Fast to Die', independently after a crowdfunding campaign that raised nearly $400,000 CAD.
Archspire released their fifth studio album 'Too Fast to Die' independently on April 10, 2026, their first release outside a label after parting ways with Season of Mist.
The band launched the 'Long Roads Big Loads' North American tour in support of 'Too Fast to Die', running from April 24 in Calgary through June 6 in Vancouver, with plans for a European and UK leg later in 2026.
Archspire announced 'Too Fast to Die' on December 9, 2025, alongside the lead single and music video 'Carrion Ladder'.
Archspire announced they would release their next album independently, citing label royalty structures, and launched a Kickstarter campaign that raised nearly $400,000 CAD in 30 days.
Drummer Spencer Prewett departed Archspire in September 2024; the band held an online audition contest and announced Spencer Moore as his replacement in May 2025.
