Oliver Sykes, frontman of Bring Me The Horizon, has lifted the veil on their highly anticipated upcoming album, Post Human: NeX GEn.
In a recent interview with Detroit’s WRIF radio station, Oli shared insights about the band’s seventh album, slated for release on September 15th. Following the well-received POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR from 2020, this album is highly anticipated by fans and critics alike.
When questioned about the album’s sound, Oli offered intriguing details:
“Part of four EPs in the ‘Post Human’ series, this record delves into the kind of bands I was obsessed with during my hardcore, post-hardcore, emo phase.
My introduction to hardcore music happened during local pub shows, straight-edge hardcore gigs, and punk performances after my first-ever concert with Linkin Park. Bands like Glassjaw, American Nightmare, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and Taking Back Sunday left a profound mark on me. This album is a nod to that era, blending nostalgia with a fresh, modern touch.”
Following the album’s release, the band will embark on an arena tour across the UK and Ireland in January 2024. The tour will feature special guests Bad Omens, Cassyette, and Static Dress, promising a great start to the new year.
