After much anticipation, Bring Me The Horizon released their new song “sTraNgeRs” this Wednesday, the 6th. This is the second single from their new album in the Post Human , arriving 10 months after “ DiE4u ”.
In May, vocalist Oli Sykes played the new track for a group of fans at the Malta Weekender . At the time, he said the song was about the feeling of being with family, even when in a room full of strangers, because everyone is gathered there for the same purpose.
Today, Sykes comments: “This song emerged from a long songwriting session in Los Angeles, and as soon as the lyric 'we're just a room full of strangers' appeared, it gained a much deeper double meaning: what it would be like to sing it live because that's the setting, several strangers connecting on an insane level, and also because it was like rehab.”
“Coming out of quarantine and the pandemic, everyone is recovering from something, and I am very aware that many people deal with different traumas every day, and I just wanted to reinforce that they are not alone in this. We are a community that is here to help each other,” she concludes.
“sTraNgeRs” arrives with a chilling music video and a somewhat sinister aesthetic. To make the video, Bring Me The Horizon spoke with some fans and asked them to share a bit about their personal journeys with their own mental health. The stories became the narrative of the video.
