The tour is in support of the band’s latest album, 2024’s ‘POST HUMAN: NeX GEn’. In a four-star review of the LP, NME shared: “Few modern rock bands have made an album that is such a bombardment of sound and colour. Post-Jordan Fish, they continue to be what they’ve always been: a creative force that transcends the personalities of its individuals. It entirely justifies the four-year wait, which already feels like ancient history. Buckle up – because this is still BMTH’s world, and we’ll be living in it for quite some time yet.”
Speaking to NME about their production plans for tour, frontman Oli Sykes shared: “We very recently started taking on what I believe will be the next stage of live entertainment by doing stuff with augmented reality and simulated visuals. So far we’ve done has been really fucking cool, but it’s just the start and I’m pretty certain that even between now and eight months time, there will be so many more advancements.
“My imagination has been blown wide open. It’s been like being in a kid in a candy store to see the things that could be possible soon. It’s come on leaps and bounds even since our arena tour this year.”
He also opened up about the future of the band and the next part of the ‘Post Human’ arc, sharing: “I went off and worked with some producers on some stuff for the new record, and I’m just so fried from ‘Nex Gen’ and in that world that I really need to have a proper cut-off point to let the dust settle a bit. Now it’s not just about the music: the story and the lore have become so integral and meaningful. If I don’t stop to try and zoom out and get the bigger picture, then it will effect all of that stuff.
“These records need to be very clear and separate records, otherwise there’s a risk of each bleeding into one another too much. To me, ‘Nex Gen’ has a very different sound to ‘Survival Horror’ [2020] and I want the next one to be a complete new era aesthetically, sonically, and in every respect. It’s important that we let Bring Me The Horizon go away for a bit.”
