Bring Me the Horizon share "Mantra"

2018-08-21 by DatsNotDaMetulz | 156 Comments
Bring Me the Horizon have released a new single, the first since 2015's That's the Spirit. The song, "Mantra", continues the poppy, accessible approach of the previous album with further ventures into nu metal guitar riffs, akin to their 2015 single "Happy Song", with a brief return to screaming added to the mix.

So far, details of Bring Me the Horizon's sixth studio album have not been released, however, more news is expected soon in the wake of "Mantra"'s release.

It's ridiculous, but I don't hate this as much I hated Drown, even though this could easily fit on That's the Spirit. Maybe my expectations are lowered enough. I still think Suicide Season and There Is a Hell are their best, though.

Drown is superior to this shit in literally every way imaginable.

This song does not compare to the actual solid tunes off TTS like Doomed, Avalanche, and Drown. It's on par with the garbage filler on that album though.

Yeah as I was saying, the song could have been much better with some decent production and at least a competent mix. Guitars could have been beefier, vocals didn't need to be so artificially corrected and prominent in the mix. Bass could have been audible.

Well, this might come down to preference, but the guitars on There Is a Hell... sound too mushy to me. Sometimes it's like a wall of sound, where many riffs get lost or are hardly audible in the mix. (I have a quality setup, so that's not the issue.) I much prefer Suicide Season's crisper guitars.

They said in the interview this song is really different to what they've done before, so I was expecting something stupidly similar to TTS, and it was. whenever a band like this says their next LP is gonna be so different, it sounds like exactly what came before. That being said this reeks of a safe single, so maybe whatever comes next will be a lil' more out there

Little nitpicking, Bad Omens is Sempiternal era BMTH 2.0, but I know you meant that, just wanted to clear it up, meant no offense.
And I don't know, that new Bad Omens song is (along with their first album) awfully average in my eyes, just like Sempiternal. Certainly listenable, but I don't do it if I don't have to. Boring background music material for me.

It's not my favorite and I wouldn't find myself listening to 'Mantra' often, but I think it's fine for what it is. I see why people dislike it and I'm okay with that. I wouldn't call it garbage considering what was released this year. My only problem is that -- given the quality of "That's the Spirit -- it stood out in 2015. 'Mantra' doesn't have the same appeal or x-factor compared to their previous release.

I actually agree that BMTH have way more life in their sound than Emmure, Attila or any of all those awful bands. But to me, their music and their lyrics are equally contrived, this is why I’ve never been able to enjoy them. Maybe Sempiternal has 3 or 4 songs that I can listen to without getting annoyed. But then, there are songs like Shadow Moses, Antivist and Go to Hell for Heaven’s Sake that have all the elements that make me really dislike this band. Their last album and this new single sound like lifeless garbage to me. But that’s only my opinion, I really don’t mean to hate on any band. At least I’ve given their whole discography a try.

I don't agree with the Attila and Emmure comparison. I can't stand listening to anything by those two, but Suicide Season and There Is a hell... have stayed with me through all these years and I still enjoy them a lot. Sure, they are not technical marvels that propel the genre to new heights, but this is not a requirement for me to enjoy music.

I agree they have totally different sounds, they just strike as being equally shallow and have a similar target audience. But that’s just my opinion. And I also agree that music doesn’t need to be technically marvelous to be enjoyable, but their sound production has always been a big turnoff for me. I have a hard time enjoying albums with glossy and plastic production values. I am not a big fan of pop music, so I don’t like to have pop sprinkled on my heavy music. But once again, it’s just my opinion.

Well... I'm certainly no connoisseur. I do seem to dislike most very popular bands though (I don't mean that popular equals bad, but I think that a ridiculous number of people like easily digestible, shallow music). Also, I totally understand you not liking pop sprinkled on your heavy music. I'm lucky in this regards as I like the mix of different genres.
