Bring Me The Horizon aren’t a band that likes to sit still. Over the last twenty years, they’ve blown up deathcore and metalcore, leaned into arena rock, dabbled in electronic sounds, hooked people with huge pop choruses, and wrapped it all up with cinematic heaviness. Now, with their new single “Dehumanized,” they’re taking a swing back to what got everyone talking about them in the first place.
This new track? It’s a blast of classic BMTH aggression. Crushing guitar riffs, guttural screams, and drums that sound like they’re trying to break loose. It’s a clear callback to the raw brutality of Count Your Blessings—but everything just hits harder and cleaner now. This doesn’t feel like nostalgia for its own sake, either. The band’s not stuck trying to recapture old chaos; they’re sharpening it, shaping it, and making it hit differently in 2026.
If you were around for the Myspace-era deathcore scene, “Dehumanized” is going to feel instantly familiar. But if you found BMTH through later records like Sempiternal or amo or POST HUMAN: NeX GEn, this one’s a lesson in just how intense the band’s foundation really was.
Going back to Count Your Blessings is a gutsy move. The album’s always been important—loud, messy, and divisive right from the start—but it put BMTH on the map, for better or worse. Now, instead of just cleaning up old tracks, they’re recutting everything with stronger performances and a huge, modern sound. It’s a way of looking back with fresh eyes, leaning into what made them great without losing all the growth that’s happened since.
Honestly, re-recording the album says a lot about the band’s mindset. They’re not trying to run from their past or erase it. They’re walking straight into it—owning it, really. This new version isn’t about leaving deathcore behind; it’s about showing that, even after all their experiments, that core anger and intensity still matter.
And “Dehumanized” proves BMTH haven’t lost their touch. Their whole career is about switching things up—every album shakes off what came before. So this return to heavier roots doesn’t feel like a retreat. It feels more like coming full circle, with every lesson learned along the way. The music’s still brutal, just more focused and thoughtful. That old chaos has a purpose now, and the production packs a serious punch.
The release isn’t just about studio magic, either. Bring Me The Horizon are playing the album in full at Manchester’s B.E.C. Arena, which is going to be wild. Hearing Count Your Blessings live, front to back, surrounded by a stacked lineup of heavy bands, isn’t just a birthday party for the album—it’s a tribute to how much it still means.
For people who’ve been along for the ride since the beginning, seeing this show will probably feel cathartic. For anyone newer to BMTH, it’s a chance to see just how far they’ve come—from divisive deathcore kids to one of the boldest, most unpredictable heavy bands out there.
Bottom line: “Dehumanized” works because BMTH aren’t stuck in the past—they’re taking what made them special and building on it. Count Your Blessings | Repented isn’t just a victory lap; if the rest of the album feels anything like this, it’s proof their earliest and most brutal instincts still have a future.
