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?

Looks like it might be called 'Instant History' - postcards have been sent out to some fans.

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.

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.
