Bring Me The Horizon explain delay in "bigger than intended" EP series – NME.com

Bring Me The Horizon have discussed a delay in the release of the remaining EPs in their Post Human series.

The band released Post Human: Survival Horror at the end of October, and told NME that it would be the first of several EPs under the Post Human banner across the space of 12 months.

Now, in a new interview with Kerrang!, keyboardist Jordan Fish has explained how the project began to get bigger than the band anticipated, leading to delays.

Fish said: We planned to do four EPs in a year, but the last one was almost an album, so I think the spacing will be a bit longer than intended, just because theyre probably going to turn out bigger than intended, he added, while clarifying: That doesnt matter, as long as theyre all really good.

Weve been writing on and off for quite a while, so theres a lot of material thats being worked on, he continued. But we havent properly got into the rhythm of writing the next EP yet, well probably do that in the New Year.

Speaking to NME last year about the idea of the project, frontman Oli Sykes said: The idea behind Posthuman is looking at how weve stepped out of evolution and the food chain.

If we can do that, then we can take responsibility for what weve done to the planet and become something better than what humans are right now.

Reviewing Post Human: Survival Horror, NME wrote: Many bands in Bring Me The Horizons shoes would use this opportunity to go full Coldplay with a radio-friendly album primed for mass communication, but not Bring Me. Instead, theyre releasing four EPs across the next year, all themed around how humanity is totally screwed.

What could have been an act of self-sabotage or self-indulgence or both has transpired to be a welcome reminder of all that this band does best, rooted in raw relevance for today and the cyber-punk energy of tomorrow.
