“I’m not putting any pressure on it” – Oli Sykes shares his feelings about new music

When you do something you love, and you do a lot of it, sometimes it happens to start hating it. And that is what unfortunately happened as well to Oly Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon. A couple of days ago he shared:

How did it get so bad. My job [had] become a real job that I hate. Usually, it’s a job that I love.

During Bring Me the Horizon‘s first “Post Human” album, 2020’s “Post Human: Survival Horror”, Sykes admitted to relapsing into drugs. Sykes realized he couldn’t live that way anymore and had to reset his mentality, eventually pushing himself to the point where he began to enjoy making music again.

When the pandemic hit, I didn’t have as much to do. I was just so bored and not used to just being a real person. Part of that [was] making sure that I’m not going too hard, you know, not dedicating every day of my life without anything — without any holidays, without any time off, without doing something else, without spending some time with my family or friends.

With this new approach, he was able to complete this year’s “POST HUMAN: NeX GEn” while also committing to not rushing the rest of the Post Human project.

We’re still gonna do Post Human. But it could be 10 years, you know what I mean … I’m not putting any pressure on it. I’m not. I’m not ruining my own life just to get it out next year or something.

Gavin Rossdale and Grimes have been praising Bring Me the Horizon, to which Sykes stated:

In our heads, everyone hates us. It’s not until someone makes a gesture that I’ll believe it.

And when he’s asked how was working with Daryl Palumbo of Glassjaw on a Bring Me The Horizon song he replied:

Could you imagine telling my 14-year-old self one day he’s gonna be singing on one of your band’s songs?
