Last night (August 10th) saw Yungblud and Bring Me The Horizon‘s Oli Sykes unite for their first-ever proper live performance of their 2020 track “Obey“. You can watch fan-filmed footage of that below.
That video was captured during Yungblud‘s set at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London, England. Speaking of that track when they originally released it in September of 2020, Oli Sykes offered:
“We consider ourselves free but only because the chains are invisible, and we are controlled in ways we don’t even want to think about. They tell us how to live with a smile on their face, like shit aint fucked up, inform us of tragic statistics like its nothing… it’s a weird world.”
Yungblud added:
“We are being told to conform to a completely outdated idea that we don’t relate to or even understand. They teach us to turn against each other and to fight against our differences rather than embrace and celebrate them. They try to keep us divided because it makes us weaker. Robots follow robots, because they feel nothing at all.
But what they don’t realize is that to us, to be different is to be free and a world of fucking love and equality is a world we want to be part of. We will rise above the hate and the diversion. We will fight for the world we want to be a part of. We will not obey.”
The song would eventually see a release in October 2020 as part of Bring Me The Horizon‘s “Post Human: Survival Horror“.
