Bring Me The Horizon just might have a Number One album on their hands with Post Human: Survival Horror. The first in a series of EP's to be released as part of their Post Human project, this EP was released digitally in October but is now available on vinyl, CD and cassette as of this week and is a contender for the top spot.
Lead singer Oli Sykes told NME, “I don’t know if it’s just a testament to what a dire state the charts are in, but it’s cool! It’s not that I don’t care about it, it’s more about the negative energy and disappointment when things don’t go your way. I didn’t want this, but it feels like a cop-out to not try and get it now. I’m practicing getting prepared for things not going our way, and that being fine.”
The Survival Horror installment of the EPs is something that Sykes said is starting to feel more like a full album than an EP. He said, “This one is the start of a new chapter, and for that reason it feels like it wants to be more substantial. We went, ‘Let’s just give this one everything’ – and it’s set a path for the rest of the records to come.”
Their next EP won't be released anytime soon. Sykes said, “We’re just beginning really. We’re actually working on parts two, three and four simultaneously and working on ideas from all the records. There’s a good chance that we might release songs from each before we release the next record.”
Bring Me The Horizon plan on heading out on a UK arena tour beginning in September.
