Bring Me The Horizon are preparing to release a new album this Friday, September 11, 2015. That’s The Spirit is a new step for the group, which decided to lower all barriers of genres and venturing on land unknown. With their previous album, Sempiternal, Bring Me The Horizon had first made a place in prime time on radio. Since then the band has matured, gained confidence, and wanted to transform this test. This satisfaction is reflected in That’s The Spirit, which marks a sort of “renaissance” of the musicians of Sheffield. Big changes are expected; we discussed this new stage with Matt Kean, bassist.
Alternativ News: There are only a few days before the release of That’s The Spirit … How do you feel when approaching the big day?
Matt Kean: I am very nervous, and we’re all super excited that everyone can listen now, because our side it’s a moment that is happening in the loop!“Drown” is the first single from the album to have been released, there are almost a year. Did you wrote that song before knowing exactly which direction you were going to take with this new album?
Yes ! Basically, we had written “Drown” independently, without imagining it part of an album. Then when we started writingThat’s The Spirit and selecting the pieces, it was found that “Drown” corresponded to the rest of the disc, both in music than words. So we decided to record it again to integrate the album.
