As part of a cover feature on the latest issue of Kerrang!, Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes gave an update on where the band are at with their sixth full-length album. According to Sykes, the band have around 30 song ideas in the works with hopes that fans may begin hearing some new music by the year’s end.
Speaking on the direction the songs are heading in, he offered:
“I don’t think any Bring Me The Horizon fan is going to be surprised at this next album sounding different to the last one.
I kind of know where I want to go, but it’s also falling into place as we write the thing. We want it to be different and we want to push forward.
We like the idea of breaking into the mainstream. We’re not ashamed of that, we don’t see it as selling out.
We see it as a great challenge, to make music that can be adored by more people but still retain who we are. That is the goal.”
The article also saw Sykes cite Twenty One Pilots as a current inspiration, he stated:
“[They’re] popular and accessible, but without compromising their integrity or who they are. That’s a real challenge now.”
