    Captures all of the angst, rage, and frustration of 2020 while hearkening back to Bring Me the Horizon's earlier days. Oli is using gutturals again. While by no means a return to their deathcore roots, this is the heaviest material the band has released in years and wouldn't have felt out of place on Sempiternal despite having the same experimental vibe as Amo.

While by no means a return to their deathcore roots, this is the heaviest material the band has released in years and wouldn't have felt out of place on Sempiternal despite having the same experimental vibe as Amo. It's essentially a marriage of the two best chapters of the band's history and feels so very timely. What's not to love?

    Variation; all the best Bring Me bits and more. Experimental and outright perfection, Dear Diary, all the way to One Day The Only Butterflies...

    Post-Human: Survival Horror is nothing from what I expected but is everything I wanted, the mix between brutal and melodical songs, starting from Dear Diary's blast and ending with the depressive piano on the only butterflies, passing with parasite eve's weird electronic sounds and kingslayer's brutal/anime sound make this a memorable record that is worth hearing from the first to the last second

    Post Human: Survival Horror viene a demostrar lo capaz que es bmth en su ambición de volver a sus origenes y aún así sonar maduros y frescos.

    Good old BMTH is back, and even more, they're back with technology. Don't know why it's considered an EP in this 9-tracks, 30 more minutes long, but there are no duds whatsoever. Meticulously spot on, with each scream, drum kicks, and synths; they complement each other.

    Love what they did on this album, not only is it topically more relevant then ever.
    How there sound keeps changing and fresh although i see why that could turn some off.

    Before this EP dropped, I was very uninterested in metal. I always found it too loud and obnoxious, but this EP changed that. Whilst the base of the music production on this EP isn’t too different from other metal bands, think Korn, Slipknot and even a bit of slayer sometimes, this EP makes the transition into full metalcore, which I have found to be a much better genre than heavy or deathBefore this EP dropped, I was very uninterested in metal.

    The new Bring Me The Horizon EP, marks a new start for the modern pop/rock band. Each track on this is as punchy as the other with pulsing guitars and driving drums complementing each other well.

    I’m been a fan of BMTH since their ‘Count The Blessing’ days and they became my favourite band once they released ‘Suicide Season’. I’ve enjoyed all their sounds, including that of ‘Amo’.

Overall this is an EP that the every version of BMTH can put on and enjoy. If you were a fan of their work from Suicide Season to Thats The Spirit, this EP is just for you. Old Oli makes a few appearances on this album. 10/10.… Expand

    I’ve been a fan from the start and I enjoyed this entire album. I expected a lot of softer songs and I was blown away with Oli’s screaming and the entire bands performances. If this is the style BMTH will become known for, I think that’s a pretty damn good thing, this sound was nostalgic and fresh at the same time.

    Bring Me The Horizon have in my eyes always been a unique band and one i have enjoyed thoroughly for years, but this latest one has been something i haven't heard before, and i can't stop having it on repeat. The lyrics, the production, all incredible.

    simply showing BMTH that they can take elements of many genres and do with them something that does not seem deformed, with this album they set precedents of what a Metal band can be Leaving conventional metal schemes

    Great representation of the angst behind the world in these times. Some of the best instrumentals from BMTH who find the sweet spot between their death metal past, and their Nu-metal present. Although some lyrics have that cringy and edgy undertone (obviously expected with a BMTH album), some of them are catchy as **** Although most of the features aren't the best, BABYMETAL hit hard onGreat representation of the angst behind the world in these times.

    Amazing, just simply **** amazing. A lot of bangers on this EP. As a nu-metal fan I really didn't expect something this good from a metalcore band. I was really surprised by how damn good this was.

    Post Human: Survival Horror is the perfect mix of all the sounds that made their previous albums shine, as well as new ones. The band succesfully takes those to a new level, at the same time keeping that dark Bring Me flair. This EP is their best work to date.

    The pure rage of the EP, wrapped in unbeatable production made this BMTH release an instant hit for me. Metal fan or not, you will thoroughly enjoy this one.

    Favourite tracks: Parasite Eve, Obey, One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death

    Least favourite tracks: Dear Diary is as creative and well-produced as the rest, but was not a track I loved.

    I absolutely love this EP So much. I definitely think this is one of BMTH's Best Projects they have released and it has some of my favorite tracks from the band since their "Sempiternal" Album in 2013 which btw is still the best project they have dropped.

The final thing I wanna say is that I cannot wait for whenever the band decides to drop the 2nd Installment of the Post Human EP Series and I'm hoping it is as amazing and well crafted as Survival Horror was.… Expand

    SURVIVAL HORROR is one of the band's best distillations of their extremes, providing just enough brutality without sacrificing their evolving vision of how melodic and experimental a metal band can be.

    Post Human: Survival Horror doesn’t break any moulds, it’s the sonic equivalent to fast food, by which you’ll consume it, enjoy it, and forget about it right after you’ve finished it, but it’s fun while it lasts.
