Evolution Never Sounds So Fiery: Bring Me The Horizon’s ‘POST HUMAN: NeX GEn’ Revealed!

Bring Me The Horizon’s ascendancy within the metal scene earns a new badge with the surprise release of ‘POST HUMAN: NeX GEn’. The band has come a long way since their ‘Count Your Blessings’ days, and this album is a testament to their evolution and resilience in the face of challenges – including the departure of Jordan Fish and various setbacks.
- Emo and Nu-Metal Symphony: BMTH’s latest drops a unique concoction of intense emotion and heavy riffs.
- Integration of Genres: From hyperpop to jungle, ‘NeX GEn’ seamlessly weaves influences into its fabric.
- Lyrical Rawness: Oli Sykes continues to expose the core of his being with visceral vulnerability.
- Collaborative Craft: The album introduces surprising elements like AURORA’s voice in the mix.
- A Story Unfolding: ‘POST HUMAN’ narrative expands, promising more from BMTH’s creative universe.
The road to ‘NeX GEn’ was fraught with anticipation and uncertainty, but the resulting record is a chaotic, yet harmonized, depiction of modernity in metal. It treads on the edge of today’s sonic boundaries, employing a craft that’s at once both ambitious and grounded in the ethos of the Bring Me The Horizon we’ve known.
‘DiE4u’, ‘LosT’, ‘sTraNgeRs’, and ‘AmEN!’ remain potent, drawing listeners into moments of anthemic release, while ‘liMOuslne’ with AURORA and glitchy tracks like ‘[ost]’ challenge expectations. Oli Sykes’s self-examination within ‘NeX GEn’ navigates through addiction, disillusion, and hope with arresting candor.
Bring Me The Horizon’s ‘POST HUMAN: NeX GEn’ doesn’t just check the boxes of innovative music; it invents new ones. It is a clarion call to those who crave depth, complexity, and the unapologetic roar of progression.
