It's been an incredibly busy year for Oli Sykes: as well as working on Bring Me The Horizon's next EP, the vocalist has guested on a ton of other tracks within a wide range of genres.

And now Oli has surprised fans yet again with his latest work: a collab with Russian experimental electronic duo IC3PEAK on the song VAMPIR.

It follows collabs with Tom Morello, daine, POORSTACY and Cheat Codes, while Oli and BMTH bandmate Jordan Fish were also in the studio with Sigrid recently, so fingers crossed there's even more to come…

Listen to VAMPIR below:

Recently speaking to Kerrang! about working with BMTH, Tom Morello enthused: “I think that Bring Me The Horizon are just one of the great bands of here and now. I know that they work in a lot of different worlds, but on this album with so much diversity I love the fact I have a collaborator to represent unapologetic metal.

“Oli Sykes isn’t afraid to scream his lungs out, and the rest of the band aren’t afraid to embrace a powerdriving riff to create a mosh that’s off-the-scale silly. I think that the song recognises the mountain of anxiety that we’ve faced during this plague-era of COVID-19, but it’s measured with the ferocious idea that rock’n’roll is a means to liberation from any conflict that you might find yourself in. It’s a celebration of that, with all of the amps cranked to 11!”
