In December, Bring Me the Horizon announced that they’d mutually parted ways with longtime member Jordan Fish, who made an indelible mark on the Sheffield crew’s electro-metal evolution over the last decade.
Fish had been mysteriously absent from the band’s recent shows in Japan, and the official split arrived a couple of months after BMTH had indefinitely delayed their new album POST HUMAN: NeX GEn, which was scheduled for release in September 2023 but is now due out sometime in 2024.

In the post announcing Fish’s departure, BMTH also promised “new music coming very soon” — and they weren’t lying.
Now, the band have dropped a brand-new track called “Kool-Aid,” the sixth single they’ve released in advance of their much-anticipated follow-up to 2020’s POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL MODE.
Given the band’s recent personnel turnover, “Kool-Aid” is presumably the band’s first song without Fish’s input since their material preceding 2013’s Sempiternal. “Kool-Aid” follows 2021’s “DiE4u,” 2022’s “sTraNgeRs,” and the three they dropped in 2023, “LosT,” “AmEN!,” and “DArkSide.”
