Bring Me The Horizon Score Second No 1 In UK Album Chart

---

Bring Me The Horizon have topped the charts this week with the physical release of the band’s October 2020 EP ‘Post Human: Survival Horror’, which peaked at No 5 in the charts upon its digital release.

The news comes after the band entered the charts again ealier in the week at No 2, just 103 chart sales behind the No 1 spot (Bicep – ‘Isles’).

According to the Official Charts Company, 92% of the records chart sales this week was from physical purchases.

“We really weren’t expecting to get a Number One after having a record out for three months, so we’re super stoked for this to happen especially after getting the Top Five last year,”

“We’d like to thank all the fans for the support for getting us to this point. So much is going on with the band right now it feels like a really exciting time for us, and this is a great way to start our year. Also, I would like to give a shout out to Bicep as I’m a massive fan of the new record out this week.”

This news makes the EP the band’s second UK Number 1, following 2019’s ‘amo’. Previously 2015’s ‘That’s The Spirit’ peaked at No 02 and 2013’s ‘Sempiternal’ peaked at No 03.

The EP was produced by Vocalist Oli Sykes, Keyboardist Jordan Fish, and video game composer Mick Gordan (who composed the Doom and Doom: Eternal soundtracks).

The track listing for the EP will be:

1. Dear Diary
2. Parasite Eve
3. Teardrops
4. Obey (feat. Yungblud)
5. Itch For The Cure (When We Will Be Free?)
6. IXI (feat. Nova Twins)
7. Kingslayer (feat. Babymetal)
8. Ludens
9. One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death (feat. Amy Lee)

Talking last year to NME Sykes said “We’re not going to do an album again, maybe ever. We’re thinking about doing shorter records. I don’t want to say we’re going to do something and not live up to it, but the plan is to release multiple records next year”

“I’m really proud of [2019 album] Amo, but it was such a fucking ballache to make. We spent a whole fucking year of our lives making that record. Part of me was like, ‘For what? We’re never going to get to play all of those songs’. You have to ration your creativity over all your songs.”

“You write a really cool pop song then you have to write a heavy song to balance out, then you need to think about singles. There’s all this shit you need to think about and how it’s going to sit on a 15 track album. I don’t want to do that.”
