    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.

    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.

    BMTH have long known how to play what cards when, and just when we need something cathartic, something heavy, something with an element of the familiar in amongst the creativity, they deliver richly here. Fourteen years on from their debut, much has changed, but in some other ways some things are exactly the same.

    Bring Me The Horizon is a band that you can rely on for a constantly evolving output and whilst, POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR doesn’t exactly diverge away from what the band were developing on last year’s amo, it does capture the bewildering phenomenon that is living through a worldwide pandemic. It is as fun as it is bleak.

    The haters will protest, but this is the sound of metal dragging itself into the future. [Jan 2021, p.83]

    Their heaviest record since ‘Suicide Silence’. Well, maybe their heaviest record since ‘There Is A Hell…’. OK, almost certainly their heaviest record since ‘Sempiternal’. This is not to say that going back to their brutal roots is a bad move. Sykes recently described heavy music as the band’s ‘bread and butter’, and there’s definitely a sense that BMTH are playing on home turf with ‘SURVIVAL HORROR’.

    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.

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.… Expand

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. But Anyway I basically loved every single track on this EP and I even loved the interlude which I usually think is just ok on most projects but on here I loved it. 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

    Captures all of the angst, rage, and frustration of 2020 while hearkening back to Bring Me the Horizon's earlier days. Oli is using gutturalsCaptures 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. 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?
