Bring Me The Horizon Unleash Vicious New Track ‘Dehumanized’

Bring Me The Horizon have shared a new song, ‘Dehumanized’, taken from their upcoming re-recording of their debut album, Count Your Blessings. The Sheffield band have revisited and “reactivated” their 2006 debut by making it “sharper, heavier, and more vital than ever,” as announced earlier this year.

Titled Count Your Blessings: Repented, the 20th-anniversary project is described as a “recontextualisation” of the original, rather than a retrospective release. The collection is due for release on July 10.

After sharing a reimagined version of ‘Black & Blue’ recently, Oli Sykes and his bandmates have now dropped a brand-new original track that was written and recorded specifically for the upcoming …Repented project. The vicious ‘Dehumanized’ is the collection’s sole new composition, written two decades after the original album’s release.

Per a press release, the single serves as a bridge between past and present. It brings a dose of “unrelenting aggression and chaos” from the band’s earliest material, while also boasting the scope, ambition, and sonic precision of their later years. The song was produced by Sykes and guitarist Lee Malia, with mixing courtesy of Buster Odeholm. ‘Dehumanized’ will appear as the final track on Count Your Blessings: Repented, acting as a closing statement to the LP and ushering in a new chapter in the debut album’s legacy.

“We can’t have this record sounding like what bands sound like today. It needs to be the best version of what it sounded like in 2006,” Sykes explained.

The band is also set to play two special Count Your Blessings shows as part of Outbreak Fest in Manchester next month. Following the announcement of the …Repented collection, frontman Sykes shared a video of himself recording deathcore vocals in the studio, noting, “Took me a minute to work out how to do some of this shit again.”
