Bring Me The Horizon drop new single sTraNgeRs and personal music video

It’s finally here! Having teased it at their Malta weekender DJ set, and then officially announced it last month, Bring Me The Horizon have just shared their new single sTraNgeRs.

Along with a personal accompanying video, the next song from Bring Me’s Post Human series has a comforting message for fans, with frontman Oli Sykes explaining: “The song came out of a long writing trip in LA, and as soon as the lyric ‘we’re just a room full of strangers’ came it took on such a deeper double meaning – how it would feel to be performing it live as that’s what it is… all strangers connecting on this mad level… and that it was like rehab…

“Coming out of lockdown and the pandemic, everyone is recovering from something and I’m so aware that so many people struggle daily with differing traumas, and just wanted to stress that they’re not in this alone… and we’re a community here to help each other.”

Oli told Kerrang! recently that the band's aim with new music is to “make this thing that feels nostalgic but progressive and futuristic”.

Explaining his mindset going into their next Post Human EP, he reflected, “It’s not healthy to always be like, ‘We’ve got to raise the bar!’ But at the same time we have to, especially when it feels like there’s more eyes on us than ever. Sometimes we think, ‘Oh, the best thing to do now is to put out a big, stock rock song,’ when all eyes are on you, something digestible that anyone can listen to, but it’s not in our hearts. We want to be progressive; we want to be weird; we don’t want to be a regular band.”

Bring Me The Horizon will headline Reading Festival on August 27 and Leeds Festival on August 28.
