Posted February 10, 20205 yr 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). @1226798682986733569
February 10, 20205 yr Exciting! No idea what this will bring. Fingers crossed for some BMTH influence
February 10, 20205 yr Author Given their many styles now - what sort of BMTH influence are you hoping for?
February 12, 20205 yr Author More teasing! I'm hoping we get a new single out on Friday @1227517746730225664 Looking forward to hearing this, aren't they playing at the Big Weekend? They are!
February 13, 20205 yr Author http://www.biffyclyro.com/instanthistory/ Looks like it might be called 'Instant History' - postcards have been sent out to some fans.
February 18, 20205 yr 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.
February 19, 20205 yr 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
February 20, 20205 yr 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
February 20, 20205 yr 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.
February 20, 20205 yr Love hearing all the classic Biffy on Annie Macs show in the build up to the new single!!
February 20, 20205 yr 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. #theisisthesoundthatwemake Edited February 20, 20205 yr by Steve201
February 20, 20205 yr Author Out now! I really love it on first listen, but I can see it being divisive. I'm happy with it though WD-BGzENgDQ 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.
February 20, 20205 yr 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!
February 20, 20205 yr Author Exciting! No idea what this will bring. Fingers crossed for some BMTH influence I actually do get new BMTH vibes from this! Great shout :lol:
February 20, 20205 yr 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
February 20, 20205 yr Author 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.
