Drown is the brand new single from Sheffield boys, Bring Me The Horizon. It's their first release since the stunning Sempiternal back in early 2013 and it's an exciting taste of what's to come from the metalcore quintet. It's a much more grown up sound but it is still very much them. Usually, I hate it when bands grow into something more mainstream but it feels different with Bring Me The Horizon. It's still full of lyrics which are honest and brutal and that is why this band can change their sound but still remain true to who they are. "What doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead. Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper" states Oli Sykes. I've always admired him as a lyricist because he doesn't bullshit and whilst his lyrics may seem bleak in outlook, they manage fill fans with hope. This is a band who's fans feel saved because of their music and Drown will only continue to have that effect.
As a single, it's powerful and big in sound and is super exciting because it's stunning. To top Sempiternal was always going to be hard, but if Drown is anything to go by the next album will be even better. To add to the excitement, the boys have made a video which entails the exorcism of demons. It's funny but I really never want to see Matt with a face that hairy again. The suits can stay though, they're a good look! I'm so glad Bring Me The Horizon are back.
You can catch the boys at their special Wembley Arena show on December 5th with Issues, Young Guns and Sleepwave.
Drown is available for pre-order now and due for release on December 7th.
