According to kerrang.com, Oli Sykes has confirmed Bring Me The Horizon is still chipping away at new music, and their project “is definitely still the plan”. Oli recently stated, “it’s almost like we’ve been backlogged. We are chipping away at it, but I also think we feel as though the bar has been set so high for us, I feel like we have this pretty incredible [live] set now, and any song we write now has to be good enough to justify its place on the setlist. I’d rather spend three months working on a song in order to put out something special; this is not a case of writers’ block, we’re just taking our time with it and making sure we’re doing something different, which gets increasingly harder as your catalogue gets bigger.”
While speaking with Kerrang! earlier on this year about future music, Oli teased that he would “never say never” to Bring Me The Horizon making one of their four Post Human EPs a full on rager, and also made mention that the feeling they are going for with this project is, “this thing that feels nostalgic but progressive and futuristic”.
