Bring Me The Horizon have collaborated with Grimes on a song on their new album ‘amo’.
Oli Sykes and co unveiled the full track-listing for their much-anticipated follow-up to 2015’s ‘That’s The Spirit’ after sharing new track ‘wonderful life’ last night (21.10.18), which features heavy metal vocalist Dani Filth of Cradle of Filth, and the band also revealed the record will be released on January 25.
The Canadian singer – whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher – provides vocals on the track ‘nihilist blues’.
As well as Grimes and Dani Filth, beatboxer Rahzel features on the track ‘heavy metal’.
The track-listing reveal comes after Oli admitted he would love the chance to work with some mainstream acts now Bring Me The Horizon have crossed over from the underground metalcore scene, and said Azealia Banks and FKA Twigs were on his wish list, along with fellow Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys.
He said: "Arctic Monkeys are cool.
"I also like FKA Twigs and Azealia Banks.
"We feel that no-one wants to work with us, but if anyone does then that’s cool."
The 31-year-old rocker said it’s great that followers of indie pop outfit The 1975 are also fans of his band now.
He said: "We have a little more appeal to the mainstream now, which is what we’ve aimed for.
"We wanted to bring what we do to a wider audience, and show that rock doesn’t have to be this weird, scary thing.
"It feels like indie and rock and other types of music is merging together.
"People that listen to The 1975 are also listening to Bring Me The Horizon."
Oli recently revealed Arctic Monkeys have always inspired Bring Me The Horizon because they aren’t afraid to alter their style from one album to the next.
The ‘Happy Song’ hitmaker believes more groups should embrace change in the music industry, and he has praised the band’s lead vocalist Alex Turner – who he went to school with in Sheffield, northern England – for "always" surprising people with his creative decisions.
He said: "They’ve always inspired us because they don’t really care what they’re big for.
"They could always come out with a new album and do the same thing, and it’d be fine. But they always go, ‘You know what, we’re doing this.’ I feel like that’s lacking music at the moment, to be honest.
"You know for a fact that, whatever the next album’s going to be, it’s not going to be the same as the last one.
"I just think that’s so cool. This one’s a bit more of maybe a passion project and it hasn’t got the hits like the last one [2013’s ‘AM’]. I love everything he says and I love how he always pushes that box out and [makes you go], ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe he’s said or done something like that.’ He just always surprises you."
