Untitled

That's the Spirit is the upcoming fifth studio album by British rock band Bring Me the Horizon. The album will be released on 11 September 2015.[1] The album notably marks a significant shift away from the group's metalcore roots in favour of more alternative and pop rock direction.

Background

The band started teasing the album in late June when the band started promoting images of a symbol of an umbrella, all in the form of tattoos, stickers and posters posted around England, which would later be revealed as a promotinal symbol for the albums first single.[2][3] The band later released a short video in early July where the words "That's the spirit" were spoken in reverse.[4] On 13 July, the band announced they had left their previous label Epitaph Records and signed with Columbia.[5]

In an interview with NME, Sykes confirmed that the album would be called That's the Spirit. Sykes also mentioned several song titles from the new album some of which include: "True Friends", "Avalanche", "Throne" and "Blasphemy".[6]

Writing and recording

It was reported that Jordan Fish, the bands latest member, keyboardist and co-writer, played the role as "unofficial" producer for the album, Sykes acknowledged that producers are fine however felt that one was not required for the album, Fish also stating that they were saving money, instead spending the money on a personal fitness trainer during the course of recording their album.[6] It was also revealed that Sykes had the role of producer as well.[7]

Composition

Influences, style and themes

In an interview with NME, Sykes said that the album is a loose concept album about life’s darker moods, such as depression, and a way of making light of it. He cited Jane's Addiction, Panic! at the Disco, Interpol and Radiohead as influences for the new album.[6] Rolling Stone commented on the album stating that the album sounds more like Muse and Linkin Park than Metallica and Lamb of God, going on to say that this particular album is a departure from the metal scene to a "cinematic pop rock sound inspired by indie rock and alternative music.[8]

Release and promotion

Singles

While the band had previously released "Drown" as a stand alone single, the first official single release was "Happy Song" on 13 July 2015, the albums second official single was "Throne", which was accompanied with a music video and the official announcement of the albums tracklisting and cover art.[3][9] Fish explains that "Throne" reflects the group's then current state of mind both musically and emotionally, going to say that it was one of the most straight forward songs they had recorded, but felt that it was an obvious choice for the first single due to its immediate catchy-ness and level of energy.[8]

Tours and performances

The band intend to embark on a tour throughout October in America, which also features American festivals such as Aftershock Festival and Knotfest and will be supported by metal band Issues.[10]
