The digital release of the album has now been streamed a massive 100 million times in 14 days and earned them the title of most streamed rock band on the planet on release, as well as becoming the third highest streamed album that week behind Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish.
The band also announced the physical release of NeX Gen, set to be released on September 27t via RCA/SONY.
‘Top 10 staTues tHat CriEd bloOd‘ is already a fan favourite; it is an intense emo-tinged anthem showcasing frontman Oli Sykes’ vocals to their melodic best. The cinematic video sees the band perform a dystopian gig to a sea of rabid otherworldly fans and cyborgs.
Oli adds “Statues dives deeper into the world of post human. The video continues the exploration of what it means to be human in an age where technology can alter our very nature and gives keen eyed fans more lore to dive into and discuss on their quest for uncovering the full post human lore.”
The album is the latest chapter in the series to be revealed and sees the band expanding both musically and conceptually. Following on from 2020’s POST HUMAN: Survival Horror – which featured collaborations with YUNGBLUD, Nova Twins, BABYMETAL and Evanescence’s Amy Lee, and includes the huge hit singles Teardrops and Obey. Sonically the album hits heavy, whilst frontman Oli’s vocals are his most melodic to date.
