Good news for fans of old school Bring Me The Horizon, with frontman Oli Sykes suggesting that their next round of music will see him return to his heavier, guttural vocal style.
The band announced in mid-March that they are working on new material for a new record with the tentative title ‘BMTH8’.
Bring Me The Horizon are isolating together waiting out the COVID-19 pandemic, but they’ve been dropping plenty of updates for fans as they continue to write new music, and the latest one is particularly exciting.
The latest clip sees Sykes chilling around on the floor as Jordan Fish messes around on a computer, playing stings and other bits and pieces. Skyes begins playing with some screams, before announcing; “The guttural is back. 2020 is the ear of the guttural.”
He then starts screaming “DEATH” over and over again before launching into a long roar.
Now it seems more than likely the next music we get from the UK act will bare more similarities to older records Count Your Blessings or Suicide Season, rather than BMTH’s more recent material.

Bring Me The Horizon’s more recent music saw them take a new direction stylistically, moving away from the heavier music that they first broke onto the scene with.

Chatting with Tone Deaf following the release of 2019’s amo, Fish said that after their mainstream breakthrough with 2015’s That’s The Spirit, they “didn’t feel like we needed to make another album with ten big-rock songs.
“Maybe that shaped the approach slightly,” he added. “I guess also we’re more confident and didn’t feel like we needed to prove as much because the last album did quite well and was successful for us in our own way.”
The last release we heard from the band was an EP titled Music To Listen To… released in December last year.
