BRING ME THE HORIZON - DARKSIDE

Bring Me The Horizon's recent single, "DArkSide," dropped on October 13th, providing fans with a much-needed dose of the band's signature sound. This release comes as a welcome surprise while we eagerly await news of the postponed album "POST HUMAN: NeX GEn." It's safe to say that "DArkSide" more than eases the pain of the missing album, delivering a classic Bring Me The Horizon experience.

The song begins with a strong focus on instrumentals, setting a powerful tone, before gracefully allowing frontman Olly Sykes' captivating voice to draw the listener in. The backing instrumentation gradually returns in the pre-chorus, coupled with haunting vocal runs harmonizing with Sykes' voice, only to cut out right before the chorus hits like a punch to the face.

As "DArkSide" progresses, it offers a rollercoaster of emotions. The bridge unleashes a torrent of heavy vocals before transitioning to a softer version of the final chorus. This change in dynamics adds depth to the song and keeps listeners engaged. The track concludes with a return to brutal screams and powerful instrumentals in the final lines, leaving a lasting impact.

One minor critique of the track is that, during the initial listens, the last line of the chorus might be challenging to discern due to a combination of Sykes' accent and vocal distortion. However, this issue seems to resolve itself with repeated listens and a quick glance at the lyrics.

While "DArkSide" might have been intended as a temporary holdover until the album's release, it's a track that only intensifies fans' appetite for more from Bring Me The Horizon. Its powerful sound and evocative lyrics are sure to leave a lasting impression, providing solace for fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming album.
