    They are choosing not to make 'albums' anymore. They find the process of banging out 10+ tracks to be extremely exhausting, and a waste when in a few months people will be wanting more. They are doing a 4-part EP series titled 'Post Human'. This is the first one, and the other 3 will be released throughout 2021.
    They said the rest of the EP's will be shorter, between 5-7 tracks. Jordan mentioned this one is 'so close' to an album in terms of amount of tracks because they already had Ludens. Then obvi Itch For The Cure is just an intro.
    They want to focus on 5,6 to 7 songs instead of 10+ because they want better quality tracks, instead of losing your head over filling an entire album. This way they can release more music, more frequently and basically have better quality tracks in the process.

    POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR ! *EASTER EGGS HERE* !
    *Dear Diary*
    Was originally called 'Survival Horror'.
    The song title and some lyrics are references to Keeper's Diary from the Resident Evil games, where it describes a deadly virus.
    Keeper's Diary also contains the phrase 'Tasty Itchy', seen in the lyrics.
    In Verse 2 Oli Sykes' dog Luna can be heard barking.
    Bit of controversy regarding the similarity of the main riffs in this and 'Swerve City' by Deftones.
    *Parasite Eve*
    Parasite Eve is a 1998 Survival Horror genre game, with a virus related storyline.
    The female AI is actually Oli Sykes' wife Alissa.
    The chorus was originally 'If we survive the infection, will we remember the lesson.' But was changed given the serious nature of the Covid-19 pandemic currently.
    They started writing this song before Covid-19 really began spreading.
    The chorus line, 'If the Suspense doesn't kill you, something else will' is from the Resident Evil game.
    Chorus' 'wash your hands' metaphor related to Covid-19.
    *Teardrops*
    Sounds like Linkin Park
    Commentary on the youth's tech addiction, depression and drug problems.
    A social and personal piece.
    *Obey*
    A Commentary on political powers and oppression.
    Obey we hope you have a lovely day is a juxtaposition of being told to enjoy yourself whilst being oppressed.
    Feature's Yungblud, Yorkshire native and friend of Oli Sykes'.
    Yungblud's line 'commemorate a wonderful life', may be a reference to the track 'Wonderful Life' on BMTH's last full length 'amo.'
    Lots of nods to Nu Metal, such as the accented verse similar to Bodies by Drowning Pool.
    *Itch for The Cure*
    A reversed title of 'Cure For The Itch' by Linkin Park from Hybrid Theory. Homage to the band and also a reference to their clear inspiration on BMTH for this album.
    Introduction for Kinglasyer.
    *Kingslayer*
    'Kingslayer' is a prize awarded to players on the game Call of Duty when they kill the top ranked player in the current game.
    Features Baby Metal, as does the *unreleased* track 'feels alright underground', from 2018.
    A Clear mix of all era's of BMTH. Including vocal styles, growling, screaming, singing and gutturals.
    *1x1*
    Personal reference's to Oli Sykes' addiction problems in the past.
    "Put me out of my misery" chorus line is a reference to Linkin Park's 'Given Up', with the same lyrics in it.
    Features Nova Twins, after they followed Oli Sykes on Instagram he asked them to feature, as he was already a massive fan.
    Title to be pronounced 'One by One'.
    *Ludens*
    Features in Death Stranding game, was written in one week to be used last minute on the video game.
    Was written last year long before Covid-19. Yet has many coincidental and scary references such as, 'how can we form a connection if we can't even shake hands', which relates to the nationwide lockdowns that went on. And is also an exact line from the game.
    In the music video drummer Matt Nichols can be seen swearing a face covering, long before they were necessary.
    The line 'don't be surprised when the [programme] starts to crash' is from the game Death Stranding.
    'Ludens' is latin for 'Playing'. Suggests the chorus line, 'we need a new luden' is another game reference meaning 'we need a new player.' But also mostly comes from Kojima Production's (the game developer) tag line 'From sapiens to Ludens.'
    Verse 2 was changed from "names can dig so many graves, you won't know where to stand" on the single and soundtrack version to "names will make me blow the brains out of all the kids in class" on the album version.
    *One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death*
    Amy Lee's appearance on the track arose from Evanescence contacting BMTH with legal threats, given the similarity of Bring Me's song 'nihilist blues' to Evanescence's song 'Never Go Back'. It was settled and Amy Lee has official writing credits on nihilist blues. The two parties insist their were no bad feelings and to prove it Amy Lee, being a fan, featured on the song.
    The song is about climate change.
    Amy Lee's part is meant to be the only 'human' part of the album (give the title Post Human), she represents Mother Nature and a fading past of nature, humankind and safety.
    It ends with a flipped version of the common phrase 'love is in the air' by using 'isn't'.
    *Whole Album*
    The album was written, recorded and mastered entirely digitally, as all members were in lockdown in both the UK and US (bassist Matt Kean was stuck in LA).
    It was mixed and additional compositions were done by Mick Gordon who wrote and produced the game Doom Eternal's soundtrack.
    It is the first instalment in the Post Human era of the band which they have said is to include 4 EPs.

    1 by 1 sounds like a Linkin park song, who cares it's super catchy and right amount of familiar in my opinion.
    And finally ludens was made for death stranding last year on a short deadline it's not a product of these pandemic sessions. It's just on the ep cause it's just as post apocalyptic as some of the other tracks.

The direction they took with all their albums makes complete sense now and this album is a best of BMTH, taking the best elements of the band. Absolutely monstrous album and Kingslayer..... HOLY FUCK! I really think this is going to be a very important album going forward like Hybrid Theory once was and think this album will be a time capsule for what 2020 was like for us all.

    in a recent NME interview about this EP, oli talked about how the last song with Amy Lee is a song about the abusive relationship humans have with the earth. Amy takes the side of mother earth, and Oli is humanity that abuses and hurts the earth for selfish greed (complimented nicely by the more aggressive style in oli’s voice). It’s kind of a sweet way for oli to get some vegan-ish/environmental vibes out there and how we should care about more than ourselves and our own well-being for our time on this earth :-)

    as a day 1 bmth fan and a day 1 fantano fan/watcher i've always been torn between my love for bmth and his disregard for them and what they've done (always being ahead of the curve, truly being the trendsetters for metalcore, deathcore, etc.). when the ultra pop That's the Spirit came out and he barely gave it the time of day i had given up, but this turn around to seeing my favourite project they've done in nearly a decade get an 8? an 8??? so hype. the lack of yellow flannel worried me but i had a feeling Anthony would enjoy this. Finn McKintey surely has a hand in this revelation that nobody is above some awesome metalcore, even anthony. Hell yea.
    and fantano, i rly think u should give sempiternal a second chance. songs like Antivist have peak slipknot vibes galore and are even more relevant today. it's rly worth your time.

      Yeah it is. The lyrics also contain a reference to resident evil i think

      Absolutely, and the album is called Survival Horror. Also, "Itch For The Cure" is a reference to Cure For The Itch from Linkin Park. Edit: Also, I just realized the line "If the suspense doesn't kill you. Something else will" was a tagline for RE2. Man, I'm really digging this album.

      @@miserirken I didn't pay attention to the lyrics of that as close as I could since I'm listening to the album at work. I'll have to give that one another listen. Thanks for the heads up.

    I remember commenting how much I was shocked by the sound on amo on that review and I'm now also shocked that this EP has pulled me back in. I hope, at least, BMTH keep heading into that harder direction because that's the good stuff to me. Also, Mick Gordon is God tier and while it sounds like a bit of a weird clash on paper, his production shines through.

    I've been listening to this band since 2008, and this is definitely their best release since Sempiternal. It's been a wild ride following their progression over the years, but I feel like I'm enjoying that ride more now than I ever have.

    Sempiternal: 4/10

    Survival Horror: 8/10
    You see where I'm going with this?

    That's the spirit is still one of my favorites. I have heard oli sykes is a fan of chester bennington and I'm hearing more and more of his influence on bmth. I love that u recognized their numetal and alternative influence

  • @liylmusic
    @liylmusic Před 3 lety +2

    I'm loving this EP at the moment, there's something about the blend of heavy guitars and epic electronic soundscapes in a nu metal style that is just completely my jam. Amo was a huge album for me as well. I can respect their earlier work but it never really hit me like say, veil of maya do. I think this new style suits the band really well though and look forward to their future releases.

    honestly this is the best sound bmth has had so far in my opinion. For me it`s a good mix between their old heavy sound and the experimentation that has been going on in the releases of the last few years :) all in all i am happy and i would actually buy tickets again to see them life (if i could)
