Fantano gave BMTH an 8/10 2020 really is a simulation

"Dear diary" violently punched me 12 years back to suicide season

He’s reviewed it twice today, he gave it an 8 twice, officially a 16/10, thank you melon.

Kingslayer, forevermore the melon of my eye

Hey Anthony, would love it if you could give Amynedd's "16-Bit Adventure" a mention. It's a music project of GeoGuessr legend and fence-climbing mad lad Tom Davies aka GeoWizard, one of KZfaq's greatest.

They are choosing not to make 'albums' anymore. They find the process of banging out 10+ tracks to be extremely exhausting, and a waste when in a few months people will be wanting more. They are doing a 4-part EP series titled 'Post Human'. This is the first one, and the other 3 will be released throughout 2021. They said the rest of the EP's will be shorter, between 5-7 tracks. Jordan mentioned this one is 'so close' to an album in terms of amount of tracks because they already had Ludens. Then obvi Itch For The Cure is just an intro. They want to focus on 5,6 to 7 songs instead of 10+ because they want better quality tracks, instead of losing your head over filling an entire album. This way they can release more music, more frequently and basically have better quality tracks in the process.

Dude, why did no one tell me Mick Gordon was a part of this?

“Eight” is a weird way to pronounce “ten,” Anthony.

Bring Me The Horizon posted him in their instagram story

POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR ! *EASTER EGGS HERE* ! *Dear Diary* Was originally called 'Survival Horror'. The song title and some lyrics are references to Keeper's Diary from the Resident Evil games, where it describes a deadly virus. Keeper's Diary also contains the phrase 'Tasty Itchy', seen in the lyrics. In Verse 2 Oli Sykes' dog Luna can be heard barking. Bit of controversy regarding the similarity of the main riffs in this and 'Swerve City' by Deftones. *Parasite Eve* Parasite Eve is a 1998 Survival Horror genre game, with a virus related storyline. The female AI is actually Oli Sykes' wife Alissa. The chorus was originally 'If we survive the infection, will we remember the lesson.' But was changed given the serious nature of the Covid-19 pandemic currently. They started writing this song before Covid-19 really began spreading. The chorus line, 'If the Suspense doesn't kill you, something else will' is from the Resident Evil game. Chorus' 'wash your hands' metaphor related to Covid-19. *Teardrops* Sounds like Linkin Park Commentary on the youth's tech addiction, depression and drug problems. A social and personal piece. *Obey* A Commentary on political powers and oppression. Obey we hope you have a lovely day is a juxtaposition of being told to enjoy yourself whilst being oppressed. Feature's Yungblud, Yorkshire native and friend of Oli Sykes'. Yungblud's line 'commemorate a wonderful life', may be a reference to the track 'Wonderful Life' on BMTH's last full length 'amo.' Lots of nods to Nu Metal, such as the accented verse similar to Bodies by Drowning Pool. *Itch for The Cure* A reversed title of 'Cure For The Itch' by Linkin Park from Hybrid Theory. Homage to the band and also a reference to their clear inspiration on BMTH for this album. Introduction for Kinglasyer. *Kingslayer* 'Kingslayer' is a prize awarded to players on the game Call of Duty when they kill the top ranked player in the current game. Features Baby Metal, as does the *unreleased* track 'feels alright underground', from 2018. A Clear mix of all era's of BMTH. Including vocal styles, growling, screaming, singing and gutturals. *1x1* Personal reference's to Oli Sykes' addiction problems in the past. "Put me out of my misery" chorus line is a reference to Linkin Park's 'Given Up', with the same lyrics in it. Features Nova Twins, after they followed Oli Sykes on Instagram he asked them to feature, as he was already a massive fan. Title to be pronounced 'One by One'. *Ludens* Features in Death Stranding game, was written in one week to be used last minute on the video game. Was written last year long before Covid-19. Yet has many coincidental and scary references such as, 'how can we form a connection if we can't even shake hands', which relates to the nationwide lockdowns that went on. And is also an exact line from the game. In the music video drummer Matt Nichols can be seen swearing a face covering, long before they were necessary. The line 'don't be surprised when the [programme] starts to crash' is from the game Death Stranding. 'Ludens' is latin for 'Playing'. Suggests the chorus line, 'we need a new luden' is another game reference meaning 'we need a new player.' But also mostly comes from Kojima Production's (the game developer) tag line 'From sapiens to Ludens.' Verse 2 was changed from "names can dig so many graves, you won't know where to stand" on the single and soundtrack version to "names will make me blow the brains out of all the kids in class" on the album version. *One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death* Amy Lee's appearance on the track arose from Evanescence contacting BMTH with legal threats, given the similarity of Bring Me's song 'nihilist blues' to Evanescence's song 'Never Go Back'. It was settled and Amy Lee has official writing credits on nihilist blues. The two parties insist their were no bad feelings and to prove it Amy Lee, being a fan, featured on the song. The song is about climate change. Amy Lee's part is meant to be the only 'human' part of the album (give the title Post Human), she represents Mother Nature and a fading past of nature, humankind and safety. It ends with a flipped version of the common phrase 'love is in the air' by using 'isn't'. *Whole Album* The album was written, recorded and mastered entirely digitally, as all members were in lockdown in both the UK and US (bassist Matt Kean was stuck in LA). It was mixed and additional compositions were done by Mick Gordon who wrote and produced the game Doom Eternal's soundtrack. It is the first instalment in the Post Human era of the band which they have said is to include 4 EPs.

Fun fact: the "AI" sounding vocals on Parasite Eve were done by Oliver Sykes's wife, her Portuguese accent probably accounting for the strange tone they have. There's video of this in the vlogs they were posting as they were making the EP.

>Produced by Mick Gordon Doomguy confirmed for BMTH fan.

“Anthony, this is the second time this day you’ve reviewed Bring Me The Horizon.”

Fun fact: Ludens wasn’t supposed to be on this EP but with COVID-19 and lockdown happening all over the world a lot of the lyrics in the song seemed to fit the feeling of not being able to be social with family and friends: “How do I form a connection when we can’t even shake hands”.

The best BMTH have been since Sempiternal in my opinion, this is a solid balance between their new sound and metalcore

A positive score for BMTH? Jesus Christ, 2020 really has been a crazy year...

I knew he secretly enjoyed Parasite Eve. *It's a fooken banger*

Not to mention that not only is there linkin park sounds all over it but “Itch for the cure”? Linkin park has a song called “Cure for the itch”

Just like with MANTRA, Parasite Eve went from his "worst tracks of the week" to a fav track on a highly regarded album.

Ludens was made for game death stranding, they had 5 days to make the song and recorded everything in a hotel room.

dude was this close to giving it a 9-10 on his twitch stream after listening to parasite eve, kingslayer, 1x1 and dear diary, and had to tap out after he verbally pondered how it would affect his indie cred to score this thing that high. hilarious, awesome that it scored so high and glad he is appreciating it and being objective.

This album was so good Anthony had to repost it

Surprising to see parasite eve in fav tracks but I guess it was only time that melon would realise that it's a banger. 1 by 1 sounds like a Linkin park song, who cares it's super catchy and right amount of familiar in my opinion. And finally ludens was made for death stranding last year on a short deadline it's not a product of these pandemic sessions. It's just on the ep cause it's just as post apocalyptic as some of the other tracks.

As someone who’s been a fan of BMTH since 2007 I’m glad they brought back some of their old metalcore sound on a few of the tracks. Kingslayer is such a great mashup of their older and newer styles and the Babymetal feature works surprisingly well.

fun fact: Oli, the lead singer, has been a huge linkin park fan since he was a teenager and that’s what inspired most of bmths music. and it’s very obvious on this album.

Review geowizards new album!!!

When I heard Mick Gordon was producing, I knew I was gonna love this. His work on the Doom Eternal soundtrack is next fucking level.

U MISSPELLED IT THE FIRST TIME, U WONT GET AWAY WITH THIS.

"Ludens" is in Death Stranding

Love the SIMP jacket.

We get it melon, it’s a great album. Stop dm’ing me the link to this video.

Damn, can’t believe Bring Me the Horizon released two EPs this month. Incredible!

Your mustache looks like Houdini would pull a rabbit out of it.

Idk why everyone hates the closer. It's actually my favourite overall, the amount of emotion packed into it is insane and both singers are at their peak vocally here.

I think there was a glitch in the matrix

Hey, you should review Geowizards 16-bit Adventure album!

Check out the 16-bit adventure by Geowizard!

as a day 1 bmth fan and a day 1 fantano fan/watcher i've always been torn between my love for bmth and his disregard for them and what they've done (always being ahead of the curve, truly being the trendsetters for metalcore, deathcore, etc.). when the ultra pop That's the Spirit came out and he barely gave it the time of day i had given up, but this turn around to seeing my favourite project they've done in nearly a decade get an 8? an 8??? so hype. the lack of yellow flannel worried me but i had a feeling Anthony would enjoy this. Finn McKintey surely has a hand in this revelation that nobody is above some awesome metalcore, even anthony. Hell yea. and fantano, i rly think u should give sempiternal a second chance. songs like Antivist have peak slipknot vibes galore and are even more relevant today. it's rly worth your time.

Fantano finally came around for BMTH I’m so happy😭

This album gave me HS flashbacks of dressing like a gangster but secretly listen to BMTH.

Amynedd 16-bit adventure, absolute banger of an album!

that intro of parasite eve reminded me a lot of the ghost in the shell ost. i've never been a fan of bmth but this record really bangs. guess i might backtrack some of their older stuff.

He must've dropped his favorite mug on his laptop and accidentally deleted the video

Dear Diary is also a reference to the first Resident Evil. A lot of the lyrics are pulled from the game.

8/10? Is this really a BMTH album review?? Lol, good for them

This is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long time! I listened to Sempiternal but didn’t really like anything else they did. Until now. The direction they took with all their albums makes complete sense now and this album is a best of BMTH, taking the best elements of the band. Absolutely monstrous album and Kingslayer..... HOLY FUCK! I really think this is going to be a very important album going forward like Hybrid Theory once was and think this album will be a time capsule for what 2020 was like for us all.

in a recent NME interview about this EP, oli talked about how the last song with Amy Lee is a song about the abusive relationship humans have with the earth. Amy takes the side of mother earth, and Oli is humanity that abuses and hurts the earth for selfish greed (complimented nicely by the more aggressive style in oli’s voice). It’s kind of a sweet way for oli to get some vegan-ish/environmental vibes out there and how we should care about more than ourselves and our own well-being for our time on this earth :-)

My first listen of Kingslayer when Babymetal came in the tonal whiplash I experienced was so severe I actually doubled over with laughter, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. So yeah, I listen to that song like 3 times every day now.

REthony UPLOADtano here

Will you be reviewing the election results?

so good he reviewed it twice, thanks melon

You should review the 16-bit adventure

"Kingslayer" is sooo good, can't stop listening to it. Thanks to team BABYMETAL for their (as usual) awesome contribution.

So is it a light 16 now?

Hey Anthony , you should definitely review "16-bit Adventure" by Amynedd , it is a very interesting electronic album

Would love a review of 16 bit adventure by Amynedd!

I started watching your videos in the middle of my scene phase back in 2012 and you giving BMTH an 8/10 in 2020 is just everything coming full circle

"This album was so good, I think I'll review it a second time!"

rewatching this after listening to Nex Gen

as someone who went trough all the bmth stages i still love it that ep is 10/10 so good

Amynedd 16 bit adventure!!!

They want to release 4 "Post Human"-EPs, with every EP going in a different stylistic direction. That's why they didn't make it longer .

actually, this album has brought alot more fans back to the band as opposed to losing them as you said

"Post Human: Survival Error"

the spine tingling piece from the intro of Parasite Eve is Ergen Deda, a Bulgarian folk song, check out not only Bulgarian but also Macedonian and Serbian folkore for some similar sounds, the music is very underappreciated in the world, IMHO unfairly so

As a person who can't live without music, I love your channel. Bring Me the Horizon to me is the best hard rock / metal band currently in 2020. That's also pretty cool you're in Connecticut, I'm in Norwalk, CT.

This the more unexpected review of Fantano's history

Sempiternal: 4/10 amo: 6/10 Survival Horror: 8/10 You see where I'm going with this?

the fact that he reuploaded the video just to fix the mistake... we love u melon

As it pertains to heavy music Anthony and I seem to always be on different plains, I am shocked that we are actually in agreement for a BMTH release.

He uploaded it twice. This means this album is a 16/10

Is that song a reference to Parasite Eve the game?

Can't believe Bring Me the Horizons got two 8's in a day.

This album absolutely slaps. It’s crazy how much better and more creative and innovative BMTH is compared to the other Warped Tour bands and the scene in general of late. No disrespect to those bands but BMTH is setting the trends and everyone else is just following them

Bring me has been setting trends for bands to follow since 2008. They have always been 1 step a head of the curve and although some people may not have liked their earlier albums in 10 years everyone will revisit them and appreciate them for the masterpieces they are.

hearing that u loved Teardrops really makes me wonder: what are ur opinions on Hybrid Theory & Meteora?

All those references to 00s Nu-Metal is everything the nostalgic little kid in me ever wanted.

BMTH have said this is the first of 4 EP’s coming out over the next year, and I am HYPED.

GeoWizard!

They are not technically making Albums anymore. And man, I loved all of it! Despite you not seeming to be the biggest fan. KingSlayer definitely caught me off guard. It was AMAZING!!

I've been listening to them since 2005 and it's interesting to see how they have evolved. Oli's voice is recovering greatly.

16 bit adventure

Anthony! Get onto geoguessers new album. It’s called ‘16-but adventure’

Love every song this album. Especially Dear Diary, Parasite Eve, and Butterfly song with Amy Lee. Such a great EP.

I remember commenting how much I was shocked by the sound on amo on that review and I'm now also shocked that this EP has pulled me back in. I hope, at least, BMTH keep heading into that harder direction because that's the good stuff to me. Also, Mick Gordon is God tier and while it sounds like a bit of a weird clash on paper, his production shines through.

Kingslayer makes me so happy.

My fav songs off the EP are “parasite Eve” & the collab w/ Amy Lee “one day....” - I just think they’re both so beautiful for completely different reasons. The collab with Amy is so unique & dark & heavy without actually sounding heavy, just the lyrical content & that ending is amazing! Cant wait for EP #2

It's good to keep in mind that Ludens was written in 2 days (iirc) to go into death stranding, i feel like if they had more time to grow the track, it would be the second best on the record.

Anthony please listen to Amynedd's 16bit adventure and give your thoughts on it please

This record hits literally every nostalgic nerve in my body in such a perfect way and I LOVE the video game references (itchy scratchy, etc.)

this album was so insanely surprising. i wasn't expecting anything special but i was fucking blown away by this project.

In ludens' defense: the track was made in the span of 5-6 days while they were touring.

honestly this is the best sound bmth has had so far in my opinion. For me it`s a good mix between their old heavy sound and the experimentation that has been going on in the releases of the last few years :) all in all i am happy and i would actually buy tickets again to see them life (if i could)

BMTH is one of the few bands I like that's actually relevant.

16-bit Adventure REVIEW please!!!

Teardrops is the most Linkin park i have ever heard since,.....Linkin Park?

God I remember hearing black and blue on music choice back in 08 and knowing I was gonna love them for a long time Here I am now, 12 years later and still hooked

That's the spirit is still one of my favorites. I have heard oli sykes is a fan of chester bennington and I'm hearing more and more of his influence on bmth. I love that u recognized their numetal and alternative influence

Epic spacing in the description
