By now you'll all have seen the intriguing tracklist for Bring Me The Horizon's forthcoming record amo, and you'll have heard that collaboration with one Dani Filth.

But in the new issue of Kerrang!, we go in much, much deeper with the band, as Jordan Fish exclusively talks us through every single track on one of the most anticipated records of 2019. There's beatboxers, more boundary-breaking sonic surprises and a whole load more – but allow us to give you a glimpse into our chat with Jordan, with his take on the song nihilist blues featuring Grimes.

“This is an example of us really going for it on this record," Jordan explains. "It’s like this dark rave song or something – it’s absolutely mental, and it might be my favourite on the whole album. I’m sure people will hear it and go, ‘What the fuck?!’ but whatever. It’s very different in sound for us. We’re big fans of Grimes and she loved the song. She actually sent it back with all these added elements which we weren’t expecting, but she’s super-creative and she’d completely gone to town on it. That elevated the song to a whole new level. She’s someone we respect, and not really someone you’d expect to find working with a metal band. Or a rock band. Or whatever it is we are…”

Oooooh…
