Bring Me The Horizon have released an eight-track project, featuring a long-awaited collaboration with Halsey. However, the album title is rather long. Here goes… They’ve named the project:
‘Music to listen to~dance to~blaze to~pray to~feed to~sleep to~talk to~grind to~trip to~breathe to~help to~hurt to~scroll to~roll to~love to~hate to~learn Too~plot to~play to~be to~feel to~breed to~sweat to~dream to~hide to~live to~die to~GO TO’.
And that’s not a computer error. Further still, the song titles within the project sound just as surreal, from their Halsey collaboration, ‘¿’, (an upside-down question mark), or track six, ‘like seeing spiders running riot on your lover’s grave’, (a collaboration with happyalone).
Rather remarkably, the fifth track, ‘Underground Big (HEADFULOFHYENA)’, (a team-up with BEXEY & Lotus Eater), runs for a staggering 24 minutes. Yes, 24 minutes. Yonaka and Toriel further feature on ‘Music To Listen To…’.

Their change in musical direction has never been more apparent than it is now with this new work, but it is no criticism on a band who has been challenging their musical creativity, breaking into new places for years, and subsequently reaping the rewards of their experimentation. The band recently scored their first ever UK Number One with ‘amo’.
In a statement from Bring Me The Horizon, they said: “Thank you to everyone in the UK for getting our new album ‘amo’ to Number 1. Thanks for buying it and streaming it and showing us support – it really means a lot to us. Thank you very much, we love you.”
This eight-track collection follows the release of ‘Ludens’, from the soundtrack to the ‘Death Stranding: Timefall’, directed by Hideo Kojima, released on November 8.
Bring Me The Horizon also launched customized merch based on Spotify streaming activity from their fans. Launched for a limited time only through their website, amo in colour, their fans select their favorite six tracks from ‘amo’, and with analysis of ‘loudness and energy’ from music intelligence platform The Echo Nest, a customized T-Shirt featuring the trademark hexagram logo and imagined color from the songs selected is made.
