On 12 June 2015, Tom Searle announced that the band started demoing new songs and he was excited for the release of a seventh album.
On 6 March 2016, Epitaph Records released a new Architects song, "A Match Made in Heaven".
It was the first single from All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us, which was released on 27 May. On 11 April, Architects released a second single, "Gone with the Wind".
On 23 March, Architects announced a release show in Brighton for 27 May, supported by Counting Days.
Due to unexpectedly high demand, the ticket website accidentally oversold tickets, prompting the band to add a second date on 28 May. Architects premiered a third song, "Downfall", on 20 May. On the same day, they announced a headline tour in the United Kingdom for November 2016.
Architects also played a number of shows in mainland Europe and in North America during the summer.

It has been stated by Tom Searle that it is "a bunch of atheists thinking about whether or not there might be something bigger," and that due to his cancer he was becoming highly contemplative about life, and that this album is the product of that train of thought.

On 20 August 2016, founding guitarist and songwriter Tom Searle died at the age of 28, after living for three years with melanoma skin cancer.
His condition was previously not made public, though he referenced it in the song "C.A.N.C.E.R" on Lost Forever // Lost Together.
Searle was initially declared cancer free after a 2013 leg surgery, but the cancer returned.
He was shown in the "In Memoriam" segment at the 2017 BRIT awards, and the song "Paragon" on the Northlane album Mesmer was written in tribute to him.

Tom Searle's twin brother and bandmate, Dan, confirmed in a statement on the band's official Facebook page that their upcoming Australian tour, as well as their UK and Europe headline tour, would still be taking place as a tribute to his  brother following his death.
On the future of the band, Dan Searle wrote, "We want to carry on, that is important to say, and we will strive to do so, but we will not release any music unless we truly believe that it is something that Tom would have been proud of.
Whether or not we can achieve that is something that we will have to discover in time".
Sean Delander of Thy Art Is Murder filled in for Searle on the Australian tour, and Josh Middleton of Sylosis filled in on the European tour.
