Bring Me The Horizon have let slip details concerning their upcoming release. Frontman Oli Sykes has revealed that the band have written 45 songs for their next album. The band’s forthcoming album will mark their seventh studio album and will follow their 2020 EP Post Human: Survival Horror.
Sykes spoke with BANG Showbiz concerning the band’s touring schedule and the process taken to produce the new album, “We’re doing lots of gigs hopefully, if the world goes alright. Lots of European festivals and we’re going to the States in September. And hopefully a new record. We’ve been working on it for about a year now, we’ve got lots of music we’re just being quite picky about what we want to release. We must have about 45 songs.”
The Sheffield rockers’ follow up to Post Human: Survival Horror has not yet received an official release date but buzz surrounding the group’s next instalment has already started. Last year, fans were given a taster for band’s next album with the release of the new single “Die4u“. The track was released on 16th September 2021 and was confirmed as the lead single for the band’s hotly anticipated album. To promote the single’s release, Bring Me The Horizon performed an acoustic rendition of the track on the legendary Live Lounge show on BBC Radio 1. The single proved to be a commercial success and reached number forty-one on the UK singles charts and topped the UK Rock and Metal charts.
Often abbreviated to BMTH, the current lineup consists of four original members; lead vocalist Oli Sykes, bassist Matt Kean, guitarist Lee Malia and drummer Matt Nicholls. The quintet also includes the newest member Jordan Fish, keyboardist, percussionist and backing vocalist, who joined the group in 2012. Since their formation and debut release, the group has become a mainstay of British rock music. The band’s first album, Count Your Blessings, was released on 30th October 2006 and propelled the group into fame and commercial success. The band’s sixth studio album Amo was released on 25th January 2019 and became the group’s first number one within the UK album charts.
The group have made headlines for their recent string of collaborations, the most recent being their partnership with Sigrid. The group worked with the Norwegian singer on the track “Bad Life”, which reached number 28 on the UK charts and appeared on her album How To Let Go. Earlier in the month, BMTH also teamed up with Masked Wolf on the track “Fallout”, the single was teased during the end of March via the band’s TikTok account with videos that featured a snippet of the song. Last month, the band worked with American rapper Machine Gun Kelly on the track “Maybe”. The single was released on 16th March 2022 and marked the band’s second collaboration for 2022. The group’s first joint release was a remix of Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits”, the hard rock-influenced version originated from the acts’ BRIT award performance in February.
The band’s string of European festival appearances are set to begin at the end of the month, which will begin on 26th-30th May 2022 with a set at Malta Weekender. Before a series of American festivals in the autumn, the band’s live schedule includes an appearance at this year’s Reading and Leeds festival.
