Both bands are from the town of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, meaning that their paths have crossed more than once. The reason the two forces were having bad blood has something to do with “girl trouble”, Taylor says to AP.
Last year, Tom Searle (Architects) tragically passed away after battling with cancer for over 3 years. It was the ceremony for the late Tom Searle that made While She Sleeps and Bring Me The Horzon reconnect after years of bad blood between them.
Here’s what Lawrence Taylor said to Alternative Press:
“We were all at Tom’s wake. Wow, what a hit. It was crazy. That’s what brought everyone back together. It made you realize that life’s too short for these stupid things. So we got talking again and then Oli heard some of the new tracks and said he’d be up for doing a guest spot. We thought it would be really cool to get rid of the bad vibes and start again. He came along with some great ideas, really buzzing off the song and wanted to get creative on it. He nailed it”
It’s this moment that led to the two bands touring together and Oliver Sykes doing guest vocals on the epic new While She Sleeps track ‘Silence Speaks’.
