Bring Me the Horizon Go Full Deathcore Again on New Track "Dehumanized"

Bring Me the Horizon just dropped a brand new song called "Dehumanized" and it's exactly what you think it is. Pure, uncut deathcore. The kind of stuff that put them on the map back in 2006. If you've been waiting for Oli Sykes and company to go back to the heavy stuff, this is your moment.

The track closes out Count Your Blessings | Repented, a fully re-recorded version of their debut album Count Your Blessings that's set to arrive on July 10 across vinyl, CD, and streaming platforms. It's the 20th anniversary of that record, and rather than just doing a deluxe reissue or a remixed version, they went back into the studio and re-recorded the entire thing from scratch.

I'll be real, that's a bold move. And from what we're hearing so far, it paid off.

What "Dehumanized" Actually Sounds Like

This isn't a band dipping their toe back in. "Dehumanized" is a full commitment to deathcore. Churning, groove-driven, relentless. It mirrors a lot of the innovations that bands like Fit for an Autopsy and END have been pushing in the genre since BMTH moved away from it, but there are enough progressive flourishes in there to remind you this is still Bring Me the Horizon in 2026. It feels fresh without abandoning the blueprint.

The band's press release described the track as "carrying the unrelenting aggression and chaos of the band's earliest material while reflecting the scope, ambition and sonic precision that have defined Bring Me the Horizon's evolution." That's a mouthful, but honestly, it's accurate.

After years of increasingly accessible and experimental material, hearing them lock back into this style is a genuine surprise. A welcome one.

The Story Behind the Re-Record

If you know BMTH's history, you know they've had a complicated relationship with Count Your Blessings. The original was recorded at DEP International Studios in Birmingham with producer Dan Sprigg and released in the UK on October 30, 2006 via Visible Noise. The band members were young, and guitarist Lee Malia was already criticizing the album's production quality as early as 2008. It eventually hit No. 93 on the UK Albums Chart and became a foundational record in the emerging deathcore scene, but the band has largely distanced themselves from it over the years.

Now, 20 years later, they're giving it the treatment they feel it always deserved. Frontman Oli Sykes and guitarist Lee Malia re-recorded the full album with Buster Odeholm handling the mix. Sykes put it simply: "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."

One cool detail for the diehards: the track previously known as "Liquor & Love Lost" has been restored to its original working title, "Dragon Slaying." Small touch, but it shows how much thought went into preserving the band's early creative history with this project.

Why This Matters

Look, Bring Me the Horizon have sold over 7.2 million albums worldwide. They've gone from MySpace-era deathcore kids out of Sheffield to headlining arenas globally and playing Madison Square Garden. Their most recent album, POST HUMAN: NeX GEn, pushed them further into experimental territory than ever before. So the decision to not only revisit Count Your Blessings but to write a brand new deathcore song to go alongside it? That's not nostalgia. That's a statement.

Oli Sykes said they wanted the re-recorded album to sound like the best possible version of 2006, not a modern imitation of it. That philosophy clearly extends to "Dehumanized" too. It doesn't sound like they're chasing trends. It sounds like they remembered where they came from and decided to honor it properly.

Count Your Blessings | Repented drops July 10. Pre-orders are live now at bmthofficial.com/live. If you haven't heard "Dehumanized" yet, go fix that immediately.
