It marked the second album in their ‘Post Human’ series, the first, ‘Survival Horror‘, was released in 2020, and ‘Nex Gen’ was surprised released last month after multiple delays.The band initially planned to release four ‘Post Human’ EPs in a year, but changed upon lockdown lifting: “We thought we were going to be in lockdown for a lot longer than we were.
We thought we could bang out a few EPs in that time. We also thought these EPs were going to be a little more humble and a bit of fun.”Now, Sykes has opened up about the future arc of ‘Post Human’ and its narrative.
‘Nex Gen’, the current record, delves into Sykes’ return to rehab for addiction, along with exploring on the band’s newfound success and the departure of pivotal member Jordan Fish.When asked about where the album’s narrative arc goes next, Sykes responded: “That’s an interesting one.
