Raycevick's Recommendations: Post Human: Survival Horror EP by Bring Me The Horizon

Those following me on Twitter probably saw this coming a mile away, but here's the album I've been blasting non-stop for the past couple weeks. Before listening to this EP, the only Bring Me The Horizon song I knew was Nihilist Blues, an electronic and cinematic banger, sounding like Nine Inch Nails meets M83, absolutely superb.

Post Human doesn't sound like that at all... and I adore it.

Mick Gordon assisted in this EP's production, and you can recognize it within 10 seconds of the album's first song, Dear Diary. It's hysterically intense, and many of my favorite songs on this are the loudest, those being Kingslayer and Obey, however, what's best about this EP is its sheer variety.

There's notes of Wolfenstein and Linkin Park to Slayer, death metal and ambient to drum and bass. I can't remember the last time I was caught off guard by a type of sound mid-song, but Horizon does it constantly, and with top notch production.

Man, I've been missing out...
