Bring Me The Horizonin Oli Sykes: ”Haluamme kulkea oudompaan suuntaan seuraavalla levyllämme”

Englantilainen Bring Me The Horizon muutti  musiikkityyliään viimeisimmällä ”That’s The Spirit” -levyllään, mikä on osittain jakanut yhtyeen fanikuntaa. Vokalisti Oli Sykes on nyt kertonut NME:lle haluavansa bändin kulkevan odompaan suuntaan seuraavalla levyllään, ja voit lukea hänen kommenttinsa tästä:

”People thought ’That’s The Spirit’ was a very polished pop rock album. It’s not. I think it’s inventive and unique, but it’s still safe in a way. We knew the songs were going to connect well with people. Next time I think we want to push it a bit weirder. Who knows?”

”I don’t know especially if we’re thinking like festivals and stuff, then I like that idea like a darker dance-y kind of sound, but I’m literally just… I’m thinking out loud here, ’cause we could go completely opposite to that, you know.”

Sykes kertoi samalla yhtyeen pitävän ainakin kuukauden verran taukoa ennen uuden materiaalin kirjoittamista:

”It’s been an intense year for us, and not just in professional terms but, like, personal too. Some of the band have had a lot on their plates and stuff. We do enjoy writing organically and letting something happen, but we’ve been working pretty relentlessly for the last album.

”We need to maybe take a break. [Keyboardist] Jordan’s [Fish] got a kid now, people have got families and stuff. We need to take a bit of time to chill out and then really get hungry to write again.

”It’s going to be a tough one, because we never want to write the same album again. I don’t even know what it’s going to sound like, but it’s going to sound different.”
