After months of smash hit singles, viral videos and three consecutive Top 40 chart entries, Bring Me The Horizon have finally released their highly anticipated new EP Post Human: Survival Horror via Sony Music and RCA today. The release immediately grabs the attention with rich compositions, pristine production, powerful collaborations and a strong dose of fresh contemporary alternative metal. The band manages to incorporate an abundance of new directions and futuristic ideas into their well established heavy past turning the release into an instant modern classic and one to be talked about in years to come.
The EP covers a total of 9 tracks, including the four critically acclaimed promo tracks ‘Ludens‘, ‘Parasite Eve‘, ‘Obey‘ and ‘Teardrops‘, alongside four previously unheard gems and the interlude ‘Itch For The Cure (When Will We Be Free?)‘. The already familiar singles have been on repeat for the whole year but sound even stronger in the full context of the EP with new-found purpose and meaning. Simultaneously, the new songs add depth and variety and make up for a killer release worthy of the Bring Me The Horizon brand and really standing out in the gloom of 2020.

The EP kicks off with the powerful intro ‘Dear Diary,‘ that throws you right into the whirpool of trashy riffs and heavy hardcore beats. Maintaining its energy and charge, Bring Me The Horizon turn up the heat with the anticipated collaborations for Post Human, bringing an impressive selection of international musical heavyweights on board for a truly diverse project. The team-up with Yungblud for ‘Obey‘ has already been getting praise for the brilliant vocal chemistry between the rebelious singer and Oli Sykes, and raised the expectations high upon its surprising release in September.
Fresh of winning the Best British Breakthrough Band at the 2020 Heavy Metal Awards, rising UK stars Nova Twins deliver their relentless energy and grime sensibility in ‘1×1‘ while Amy Lee from Evanescence teams up with Sykes for the haunting conclusion ‘One Day the Only Butterflies Left Will Be in Your Chest as You March Towards Your Death‘. The absolute highlight of the EP, however, is Japanese titans Babymetal joining in for the monumental track ‘Kingslayer‘ that seemlessly blends the best of both bands and is sure to become a fan favourite in the upcoming months.

Exactly 14 years ago, the band released their debut album Count Your Blessings which cannot sound more different. Love them or hate them, Bring Me The Horizon have managed to remain at the forefront of the global heavy scene ever since by always being unique and relevant, leading the trends and setting the standard for their contemporaries, and Post Human: Survival Horror gives yet another example of their versatility and adaptability.
Very few metal bands in recent decades have represented the UK with such attittude and style in a scene predominantly led by American acts, and have achieved the international recognition Bring Me The Horizon are enjoying at this moment. Moreover, by exploring new horizons and changing their style, the Sheffield five-piece achieved commercial success in a genre that normally thrives in the shadowy low-key underground and prefers to be left away from the headlines – a collosal feat considering current trends, uncertainties and industry standards.
Bring Me The Horizon will support their recent release with a UK Tour starting in September 2021.
