Bring Me the Horizon have finally revealed how they managed to sneak actual elephant sounds into their single Teardrops.

The band took to TikTok (naturally) to explain exactly how the heck elephant noises made their way onto the track.

The video shows frontman Oli Sykes researching elephant sound effects on YouTube before settling on one.

First youve got to get the perfect elephant sound, then youve got to spend half an hour convincing the band its a good idea, he said.

Once youve done that, just fuck with the pitch a little, maybe add some reverb, and voila! Elephant mosh, he concluded.

Teardrops was the third single from thePost Human: Survival HorrorEP, which was the first EP in a line of four that all fall under the umbrella name of Post Human.

In an interview with NME, Sykes explained that the band are currently working on all three of the remaining EPs.

Were just beginning really, he said. Were actually working on parts two, three and four simultaneously and working on ideas from all the records. Theres a good chance that we might release songs from each before we release the next record.

Sykes went on to add that the second EP in particular will be different from Survival Horror.

Part one was very heavy and quite dark. For me, it all feels like a very low-frequency energy. It took a lot out of me and I dont think I could do it again not straight away, anyway. The next record is going to be emotional in a different way, it just has to be. Emotional is the word, with higher emotions. Not necessarily happier, he said.

Survival Horrorwas a call to arms record that didnt necessarily answer any questions. It was just gathering people who felt anxious, angry and paranoid. This second record should be about trying to answer those questions what do we do to feel better? What do we do to make things right?
