Bring Me The Horizon’s ‘MANTRA’ video just dropped and it’s a cultastic spectacle

The BMTH news keeps coming, not only have the band announced their new album amo will be released on January 11th next year, they’ve also revealed they’ll be heading to Australia for an East Coast Tour in April 2019 to celebrate (more details here) and now, they’ve just released the awe-inspiring music video for their new single ‘MANTRA‘

The video depicts frontman Oli Sykes as a cult leader akin to that of the old Jonestown cult back in the 70’s where 909 members took part in what was described as the worst mass suicide/murder in history after their leader Jim Jones convinced them all to drink poison-laced kool-aid. Yes, kids that event is where the term “drink the kool-aid” came from.

Bring Me The Horizon have captured the occult scene (if you wanna use that term) perfectly, indicating how easy it is to go from a nobody to being worshipped by hundreds of followers instantly. It’s scary, but Oli Sykes fits the role perfectly. Take a listen and grab a ticket to their upcoming shows below. They’re on sale next week.
