Biffy Clyro have begun teasing their upcoming 8th album! Following 2016's Ellipsis and last year's soundtrack for Balance, Not Symmetry. I'm really excited for this - I'd say Ellipsis is overall my second favourite album from them (after Only Revolutions).
Exciting! No idea what this will bring. Fingers crossed for some BMTH influence
Given their many styles now - what sort of BMTH influence are you hoping for?
Like their most recent tracks
Looking forward to hearing this, aren't they playing at the Big Weekend?
More teasing! I'm hoping we get a new single out on Friday

Looks like it might be called 'Instant History' - postcards have been sent out to some fans.
"Instant History" is hottest record on Thursday! Can't wait
Same here it's been too long!!
Do you think they will be instant added to the daytime playlist? I mean I know they are considered an older band now after many eras being supported on radio 1 but they are at the BW and Thursday nights HRs usually are big new releases.
sure it will be insta-added, R1 love them
hope it's a return to form, they were flawless in the Only Revolutions era but everything went downhill since then
That's why I was thinking they might not - they are on era No6 now like!
yes but for rock bands like Foo F or Muse, R1 keeps supporting them forever no matter what
and if they're performing on R1's Big W/end, then sure they will support them still
Yeh I think the fact they are on the Big Weekend is a big reason for the support. Not all bands are supported forever it's mainly the old metal bands like Foo Fighters due to the fact they find it hard to find a home for them on 6 Music or Radio 2 depending on the material.
Love hearing all the classic Biffy on Annie Macs show in the build up to the new single!!
Songs only half way through and oh my god it's an absolute banger with an amazing chorus and riff - classic Biffy but new and up to date at the same time - easily accessible to the radio 1 audience imo.

Out now! I really love it on first listen, but I can see it being divisive. I'm happy with it though
Though they have said in a new NME interview "Whatever you think the next song will sound like, it won’t.” - and it's not representative of the album.
I think it sounds very 'pop' which I was surprised at considering they are in album 8. Think a lot will love it and they might even get new fans!
wow sounds huge, incredible return, they really needed a break it seems to recharge batteries and come back stronger
love the drums in the verses
if something, it reminds me of my fav old songs of them like Bubbles or Montains, always with heavy drums from the get going and a powerful chorus
It reminds me a lot of Imagine Dragons or post 2013 30STM, which I love - but this has had a very mixed reception online it seems.
I must say I do prefer Wolves of Winter and Balance Not Symmetry by quite a bit, but I am enjoying this.
ooo bit unsure about the new sound. Simon still sounds so good but the style is something I’m normally not really that into hmm
This is JUST want i wanted from them omw
The album is titled 'A Celebration of Endings' - and the cover is looking good!
Hope by 'Endings' they don't mean anything literal!
no release date?
Not yet
End Of is premiering on Beats 1 tomorrow about 17:30 our time
I've never really been into Biffy but I'm really enjoying Instant History, even if it is a bit like a post-album single from that Muse album Nero worked on. Which is no bad thing to be fair. Got a soft spot for Follow Me.
The preview is sounding good!
'End Of' is out now! Great to have another heavy banger from them
Album is out on May 15th!

(I'm absolutely *loving* End Of right now)
Yeh 'End Of' is another banger, love the guitar solo in it!
'Tiny Indoor Fireworks' is Hottest Record tonight! If it can live up to the first 2 releases, I'll be fairly confident this will be one of my favourite albums from them.
This live version of it from 2018 is sounding good so can’t wait for the studio version
Out now
Big fan of this! Very catchy chorus
Video up and some good radio support starting this week
Weird Leisure will be the next song to be released. Date still TBC
Looking forward to it! Not long to go until the album, finally
‘Weird Leisure’ out now
Loving this! So excited for the album, not long to go now. There's no competition on that week, so it should be an easy third #1.
‘Space’ out now.
Really liking this. Looking forward to listening to the full album tomorrow.
'Instant History' is a little weak from them but most of this album is very solid. Particularly 'Weird Leisure', 'Tiny Indoor Fireworks' and that lovely ending with 'Cop Syrup', beautiful rock as always.
Cop Syrup is absolutely fantastic
Space video:
What an album! Definitely up there with their best, glad to see it'll definitely be their third #1 album.
I've added 'Space' as my next single to my playlist!
Is ‘Space’ an official single?
I still need to listen to the rest of this album (will do tomorrow probably) but have just listened to 'Space' now and I think this is my fave that I have heard from the album so far, really lovely song Looks like it should comfortably be in the top 100 this week, not bad going considering they didn't get any top 100 hits at all off their last album. (Also hooray of course for the album being an easy third #1 for them, weird to think that the album that contains most of their most popular songs only got to #3, actually a place lower than the album before that charted!)
Out of the 4 songs released before the album the only one I really instantly loved was 'End Of', but 'Instant History' and 'Tiny Indoor Fireworks' both grew on me a decent amount so 3 for 4, I've still only given 'Weird Leisure' one listen and didn't really get too much from it so I'm hoping that might be a grower when listening to the album as well.
Listened to the rest of this now, 'Weird Leisure' has actually ended up being my least favourite song on the album, everything else is at least pretty good! 'Cop Syrup' is an interesting one, if it was solely the instrumental part I think it'd quite easily be a highlight of the album alongside 'Space'/'End Of' but I'm not really sure how I feel about the vocals at the start of the song, definitely going to need another listen or two to see if I get more used to them I guess. 'Worst Type Of Best Possible' and 'Opaque' are my other immediate standouts from the album tracks. 'Tiny Indoor Fireworks' has also grown on me even more, I really underrated that as a single when it came out.
Not heard the whole album yet but Space is absolutely wonderful
Space has now been picked up by Radio X. The correct choice of single imo.
Opaque is a nice slower number too!
In today's bizarre event, Biffy have covered Cardi B's 'WAP' in the Live Lounge today as 'WAB (Wet As Biffy)' the reception has been very varied, but I think it works because how insane the lyrics are!
Certainly better than the original at least
I think it's fun, at least I managed to get to the end of the song
Don't think I ever managed that with the original
Genuinely one of the worst things I have ever heard.
Orchestral version of ‘Space’ out now and it’s sounding brilliant. Amazon Music exclusive though.
A beautiful acoustic version of Space is out today!
God that’s an amazing version
North of No South is the next single.
Simon has features coming up on Architects' (next Friday) and While She Sleeps' (April) new albums!
I wondered why it was so high on iTunes
A Biffy remix of Steven Wilson's 'PERSONAL SHOPPER' is out today!
This another single sent to radio?
I doubt it, it's just a remix!
