And now, Sykes has posted on his Instagram page that the album is on its way.

Post human is coming this summer, I promise he wrote. I just want u 2 have more songs u havent heard than songs u have on the record, & its been a ruff ride recently. Thank u for sticking with us! We love u.

The follow-up to 2020s POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR wasannounced during the bands headline debut at Download Festival last year and was originally scheduled to drop last September.

However, frontman Oli Sykes later confirmed that the album was being delayed due to unforeseen circumstances leaving the band unable to complete the record to the standard wed be happy with.

Describing what fans can expect from the upcoming LP last year,Sykes toldNME: I wouldnt say its a hyper-pop album, but Ive definitely been inspired by that world. I admire how obnoxious, trashy and in-your-face that music feels, which is what I was drawn to when I got into emo, hardcore and screamo.

Its not that weve lost that in our music, but as you become a bigger band, things do get more polished, he added. I want to go the opposite way. Lets be unhinged, lets stop trying to make all the edges smooth.

Kool-Aid is the first release from the band since the sudden departure of their longtime keyboardist and percussionist Jordan Fish at the end of December.

Fish had been part of the Sheffield rock band since 2012 and had been instrumental in shaping the bands songwriting approach and modern sound by adding more electronic elements.

The band revealed the news in a statement, which read: Bring Me The Horizon has decided to part ways with Jordan Fish. We want to thank him for the musical journey he took with us and wish him luck with everything in the future.

Despite his departure, Bring Me The Horizon are set to go ahead with theirupcoming UK tour dates later this monthas scheduled. These kick off with a stop in Cardiff on January 9 and continue with shows in Birmingham, London, Newcastle and more.Visit here for any remaining tickets.
