Fans of Bring Me The Horizon are abuzz with excitement after a possible secret hidden within the band’s latest album, POST HUMAN: NeX GEn, was discovered. The band announced the album during their headlining debut at Download Festival last year, but it was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. It marks the band’s first album since Jordan Fish’s departure.
A fan on the Bring Me the Horizon subreddit noticed something unusual with the end of the last track, “Dig It.” After further exploration using audio editing software, the fan found a spectrogram embedded in the song that contained a QR code. Scanning the code led the fan to a website that asked for a code, with the serial number from the cover art serving as the password. The full contents of the website remain unknown, with some suggesting bonus tracks or instrumental demos.
However, there have reportedly been “hacks” of the M8 server hosting the website, causing developers to temporarily take down the site and asking fans not to spoil the adventure for others. In interviews, frontman Oli Sykes has hinted at the album’s sound, calling it “unhinged” and stating that “as you become a bigger band, things do get more polished. I want to go the opposite way. Let’s be unhinged, let’s stop trying to make all the edges smooth.”
The album was released to a surprise on May 1 and has received a four-star review from NME. Despite the delay, reviewers have claimed that the album’s intensity justifies the wait, with “few modern rock bands [matching] an album that is such a bombardment of sound and colour.” As more discoveries are made within the album, fans will remain eagerly anticipating what surprises Await them.
In the meantime, the excitement surrounding the secret within POST HUMAN: NeX GEn highlights the band’s continued success and the dedication of their devoted fan base. Even Jordan Fish’s departure doesn’t seem to prevent fans from eagerly anticipating new releases, indicating BMTH’s creative force that transcends individual personalities. As we continue to wait for the full album to be unveiled, there’s no doubt that fans will eagerly await whatever surprises the band has in store
