"Darkside" (stylised as "DArkSide") is a song by British rock band Bring Me the Horizon. It was released on 13 October 2023, as the fifth single from their upcoming 2024 commerical release, Post Human: Nex Gen.[4] It is the last song to feature keyboardist, songwriter and producer Jordan Fish, as he departed the band in December 2023.[5]

Background

On 9 October, 2023, Bring Me the Horizon announced that they would be releasing "Darkside" on 13 October.[6] The song finds Sykes tackling themes of insomnia, heartbreak and depression.[7] The song is about the "fear going to a darker place."[8]

Composition

"Darkside" was written by Andrew Goldstein, Zakk Cervini, Gianni Taylor, Oli Sykes, Jordan Fish, Lee Malia and Matt Nicholls, while production was handled by Oli Sykes, Zakk Cervini and Daidai.[9] The track has been described as alternative rock,[1] pop metal and nu metal.[2][3] The song showcases the group's lighter and poppier side than their previous releases.[2]

Critical reception

Eli Enis of Revolver stated, "Its chorus is absolutely anthemic, while the verses have bouncy nu-metal riffs and a delivery from Sykes that evokes Linkin Park."[3] Tyler Lubke of Wall of Sound described the track "groovy" and "appealing radio rock." He remarked, "Vocalist Oli Sykes utilises his fundamental screams and singing throughout the catchy chorus and quieter verses as the band masterfully infuses their blend of electronic influences alongside nifty drum beats and ramping guitars."[1]

Personnel

Credits for "Darkside" adapted from AllMusic.[9]
