Bring Me the Horizon made a massive announcement as they were headlining Download Festival on Friday night, (June 9)! This is part of the long-awaited next installment in their Post Human series of releases. Fans can look forward to Post Human: NeX GEn, due out on Sept. 15 through Sony/RCA!
The group has already released two singles, with "LosT" being released in May and brings back a more Emo/Pop-Punk sound. That was followed by "AmEN," released earlier this month, which is one of their heavier songs that’s been dropped in some time featuring rapper Lil Uzi Vert and Glassjaw's Daryl Palumbo. Initially, Bring Me the Horizon had pitched the idea of doing four different EPs over the course of a year, and they got off to a solid start with Post Human: Survival Horror arriving in 2020 amidst the pandemic lockdown.
While the timeline of the releases has changed, the intent of the four records has not.
"We're on a journey of doing different types of records, which we set ourselves up to do thinking we'd get through it really quickly, and it hasn't panned out that way, for a number of reasons," keyboardist Jordan Fish recently told Kerrang! He continued, "We're working on four Post Human records, and we've been working on them all at the same time. … Why it's taken longer is that we've done stuff for the third and fourth ones as well." Fish added, "The fourth one is where we want to explore the more heavy stuff, so in a way it limits how much we want to go heavy on this one. You don't want them all to sound the same. And you want to be confident in your conviction of going all-in on a style."
Given the different styles of the two recently released singles, it's not certain yet if either will be tied to Post Human: NeX GEn and which musical direction the record will take. In addition to the now secured release date of Nex GEn, the band also revealed their first tour that spans into 2024! Joining them will Bad Omens, Cassyette, and Static Dress for a January arena tour of the U.K. Dates. Tickets are available here!
