Oli Sykes shared photos of himself in the studio as far back as April last year, but didn’t give too much away during an interview with NME last summer when the band headlined Reading and Leeds.
“I’m already craving a fresh sound and making stuff like, ‘Oh, that’s sick but not now – that needs to be honed and crafted’,” he told the outlet. “There are songs I’m sitting on that are so sick, but it’s not ‘Nex Gen’, it’s something else. I still don’t know what that’s going to be. I know for a fact that I can’t write that now. I have to write that in a year when I’ve been away, and let my mind decompress and go, ‘What is the theme? What is the world? What is the sound?’
“We need that, definitely, but in terms of a strategic play, I just can’t see it happening because I just love it too much. Just accepting that it is what it is feels really good.”
