Back in April, the Sheffield band confirmed Monday that they’d be playing their debut album in full at Manchester’s BEC Arena on July 10. Billed as ‘Outbreak Presents: Count Your Blessings | Repented’, the gig was designed to “reactivate” the record rather than just lean on nostalgia.
Having promised to be a “defining moment for a generation of fans, both those who were there at the beginning and those discovering it now”, Oli Sykes dusted off his signature scream and played several tracks that haven’t had a live outing in over a decade.
As well as playing recently dropped ‘Dehumanized’ live for the first time ever, they played ‘Slow Dance’ live for the first time since 2006, as well as ‘Black & Blue’, ‘Tell Slater Not to Wash His Dick’ and ‘A Lot Like Vegas’, all of which haven’t had a live outing since 2009.
Taking to social media after the gig, fans said they were “bringing back the golden era”, with another saying: “Watching last night’s set was a generational full circle moment.”

Following the announcement of the ‘….Repented’ collection, frontman Sykes shared a video of himself recording some deathcore screaming in the studio for the re-imagined release. “Took me a minute to work out how to do some of this shit again,” he said.
“Very excited to share CYB repented with u. I think we did you all proud. It’s so nice to see all the love and nostalgia too thank you so much.”
Speaking to NME at Reading Festival 2025, Sykes revealed that 12 more songs could be arriving at some point as part of the ‘Director’s Cut’ of BMTH’s latest album, ‘Post Human: Nex Gen’. He said this could take a while, however, as he has become the father of twins.
“The music will come, but it’s just not the be-all and end-all,” Sykes told us. “We’re realising that we don’t have to put another record out; we just put one out. Most bands would go away for two years, have an actual break. You don’t have to do this, but I want to and I enjoy it. If it doesn’t happen, then it doesn’t happen.”
You can revisit NME‘s video interview with Sykes in full below:
BMTH released a ravey but heavy collab with US musician, DJ and producer Illenium, ‘Slave To The Rithim’, earlier this year.
They recently wrapped up their 2026 ‘Ascension Program 2’ North American tour, and made appearances at Rock For People, Nova Rock, Tons Of Rock, Sick New World and Hellfest. At the latter event, the group brought out Lorna Shore’s Will Ramos to perform ‘Antivist’. They then teamed up with Babymetal for ‘Kingslayer’ at Graspop Metal Meeting.
Bring Me The Horizon are scheduled to headline Sziget 2026 in Budapest in August alongside Florence + The Machine, Lewis Capaldi, Twenty One Pilots and more.
This year also saw Bring Me screen their concert film, L.I.V.E. In São Paulo, in cinemas worldwide for two days only. In a glowing, five-star review, NME hailed the band’s big screen project as “a love letter to their fans and statement of greatness”.
