Crashing head-long through a wall of corroded metal and glass shards, Bring Me the Horizon redefines their heavy sound once again with the potent EP POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR.
80
With POST HUMAN, BMTH dives deeper into their rejuvenation of turn-of-the-millennium metal.
80
It’s a soundtrack fit for the end of the world.
80
What could have been an act of self-sabotage or self-indulgence – or both – has transpired to be a welcome reminder of all that this band does best, rooted in raw relevance for today and the cyber-punk energy of tomorrow.
80
BMTH have long known how to play what cards when, and just when we need something cathartic, something heavy, something with an element of the familiar in amongst the creativity, they deliver richly here.
80
Think Count Your Blessings meets Amo… Bring Me The Horizon have gone above and beyond with their latest release, featuring collaborations with Yungblud, Babymetal, Nova Twins and the Queen of emo Amy Lee.

Bring Me The Horizon is a band that you can rely on for a constantly evolving output and whilst, POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR doesn’t exactly diverge away from what the band were developing on last year’s amo, it does capture the bewildering phenomenon that is living through a worldwide pandemic.

‘SURVIVAL HORROR’ is Bring Me the Horizon’s invitation for you to regress with them for a while. I suggest you boot up your console and join them.

The haters will protest, but this is the sound of metal dragging itself into the future.
60
‘POST HUMAN’ is no elongated pop party but an anti-escapist battle cry that screeches in at just under thirty minutes.

Post Human: Survival Horror doesn’t break any moulds, it’s the sonic equivalent to fast food, by which you’ll consume it, enjoy it, and forget about it right after you’ve finished it, but it’s fun while it lasts.
This is less of a review and more of a rant, just saying this now.
I am so fucking done with this band's shit. Genuinely they are one of the worst mainstream rock/metal bands, constantly drowning in pretentiousness and overproduced instrumentation. Oliver Sykes is a terrible front man with a mediocre at best clean voice and a downright unbearable (and limpdick) scream/growl. Not only that, but he has the audacity to bitch and moan in an interview about how mainstream rock is too generic ... read more
BMTH really just gonna make an instrumental called Itch for the cure and use the chord progression from somewhere I belong on teardrops? (Also 1x1 sounds strikingly similar to From The Inside, the opening of both songs is pretty similar tbh)
Wonder what band influenced this ep?
Okay but seriously this EP is an absolutely insane blast. I'd say this is the heaviest they've sounded since... 2013? Maybe 2010. The breakdowns on this album are something else man. Also the weird features on this ... read more
PUT ME OUT MY MISERYYYYYYYYYY

REVIEW REPOST #029. I repost my old reviews, which got no attention, with updated thoughts. Posted this review last year, but I'm posting it again.
Originally I wasn't too sold on this thing, but once I really let myself enjoy it, it clicked. I stopped having that "oh this is overproduced overcompressed music" and instead I just enjoyed the sounds. And this shit sounds really good. It's super melodic, super fun, super creative, ... read more
This is uh.. my first metal album and.. honestly, this was fucking great, the fucking song with BABYMETAL is fucking unreal good, will probably b checking out more metal records in the future.

LEAST FAVORITE TRACKS: the interlude and outro lmao

this album singelhandedly made me love huge overproduced alt metal
at first I liked it but I was hesitant, like something was holding me back. I was like "I shouldn't be enjoying this", but then I finally let it take over me lol
