During a recent interview with NME, Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes confirmed that the band are sitting on new material. According to him, the group currently have “12 songs and they’re all bangers.”
Sykes said the following:
“I wanted new music out this year. I’ve got so much from the ‘Nex Gen’ archive that I want the world to hear. I literally phoned my label and management and said, ‘It’s nearly here, I’ve got 12 songs and they’re all bangers. They’re so close, we’re going to get the first single out before Rock Am Ring and the second before Reading & Leeds.’”
Even though the tracks didn’t arrive this year, Sykes confirmed that they are still coming:
“The music will come, but it’s just not the be-all and end-all. We’re realising that we don’t have to put another record out; we just put one out. Most bands would go away for two years, have an actual break. You don’t have to do this, but I want to and I enjoy it. If it doesn’t happen, then it doesn’t happen.”
He went on to say that he felt like he needed to release new material for the fans, but “there are other things that are important in [his] life now and [he has] to make sure that they come first.” This includes his newly born twins.
Sykes also added:
“Ultimately, that’s going to help the process and help us make some really good music. I can already feel that. I feel comfortable that the band is fine and we’re doing alright. We don’t need to do better. That will help with the output.”
