Bring Me The Horizon Frontman Says New Music Coming Soon
We told you before that Bring Me The Horizon teased some new songs. They just released their latest album “amo” this year, but frontman Oli Sykes has confirmed that there’s more to come… in his words, “sooner rather than later.”
Speaking to Kerrang!, the singer says that he doesn’t want to spend as much time on an album as they did with “amo.” “We spent a long time on ‘amo,’ like nearly over a year,” ne notes. “We’ve got a studio set up on tour now – we’ve started to think about writing and when we want to, and basically never having to get back to the studio and write for six months.”
While their last album took longer than expected to churn out, Sykes does note that the record was a game changer for the band. “We feel like we’re gaining a lot of fans as well as losing a lot of fans,” he adds. “We want to give people more to get excited about – the last album made us feel like we could literally put anything out.”
