Architects (UK) have uploaded their cover of Thrice’s “Of Dust and Nations” to the glorious internet. The cover is one of two cover tracks, the other being a cover of Bon Iver’s “Blood Bank”, that are featured on the North American re-release of their latest record Daybreaker. This is one of my favorite Thrice tracks so I am pleased to say that Architects do a damn good job at covering it. It’s so faithful to the original track that it’s ridiculous. Stream the cover and the original after the jump.

Before the final moments of Sunbather were exhausted I had come to the realization that I had stumbled upon something monumental. I am very skeptical of any album that receives enormous amounts of praise but this record defied my expectations completely. Deafheaven took the skeleton of Roads to Judah, smoothed out the rough edges and allowed their sound to progress and expand into what would come to be Sunbather. Throughout those sixty minutes I was completely engulfed in an intense blinding light that filled me with a great warmth and feeling of euphoria; thus is the power of Sunbather. Deafheaven have discovered greatness and you should probably believe the hype.
