Since 2020, Bring Me the Horizon began working on the narrative for Post Human; Oliver Sykes’ band released Survival Horror and Nex Gen
Vocalist and frontman of the British rock band Traga-me o horizontewho recently released his seventh studio album, titled Post Human: Nex Gen, Oliver Sykes spoke a little about what he thinks about the group’s next album.
During an interview with NMEthe 37-year-old artist spoke about the future of storytelling Post Humanstarted in 2020 with the EP Post Human: Survival Horror. It is worth remembering how Nex Gen It is the band’s first album without the keyboardist Jordan Fish.
“That’s interesting,” he replied after being asked about the next steps in the narrative. “This whole record is a proper narrative that really explains the first record. I realized that what I’ve been doing for years is building this world in my head and not telling anyone about it.”
This narrative will feed into the next one and I don’t want to give it all away because the way the album ends for me personally is realizing that I need to leave.
“I need to end a lot of relationships, I have to leave my own country, I need to run away and I have to kill a part of me,” the singer continued. “I realize I can’t heal in the place that made me sick. That’s why the last song on the album [‘Dig It‘] It feels like a suicide note or a good letter, because it’s a bittersweet ending of realizing that I’m fully on this healing path now, but it’s going to mean how I need to kill part of myself.”
To close the matter, Oliver Sykes explained how the end of Post Human: Nex Gen leaves some loose ends: “It kind of leaves it all up in the air, in a way. This album has turned into such a bigger beast than I ever thought it would be, so it’s a little early to say exactly where it’s going to go.”
I have an idea not only of what the next record will be, but also of where it is – and it’s not in a good place. But it’s all for playing. There will be four discs and this will be the third act – usually where things go wrong. We’ll see – everything can change.
