Bring Me The Horizon Unveil Tear Drops – Oli Sykes' "Favourite Song" On Their New Record
Watch the dark video for Bring Me The Horizon's powerful new single, Tear Drops.
- Words:
- Emily Carter
The next slice of music from Bring Me The Horizon's upcoming Post Human: Survival Horror EP is here – and boy oh boy is it another colossal banger.
In fact, frontman Oli Sykes calls Tear Drops his “favourite song off the record”, explaining, “I’m so excited to get this single out, it feels like a classic Bring Me The Horizon tune but without it feeling like anything we’ve done before. I feel like Tear Drops is some of the best work we’ve ever done, musically and lyrically as whole.”
And the video is equally as powerful, with Oli directing, editing and starring in the clip – as well as spending a full day in an underwater tank for those particular scenes. Dedication.

Speaking to Kerrang! back in June about the sound of Horizon’s next musical steps, Oli teased that “this record’s going to have a very dystopian, cyberpunky, metal feel to it”.
“Whereas I appreciate records like as a collage and all over the place, I also appreciate that sometimes when you want to listen to music it’s because you’re in a certain mood,” he said. “Sometimes you just want to keep that mood going – whether you’re angry, happy, sad, whatever – and that’s one thing Bring Me The Horizon haven’t done for a long time, really. Since [2008 album] Suicide Season our records have been quite all over the place, so I thought it’d be interesting to do a more traditional thing where they are tonally very connected so when you put it on it’s not going up and down and all over the place. It still will to a degree because it’s us, but at the same time, there’s almost a brief and a vibe to each record.”
