With Bring Me the Horizon's album Amo out Friday (January 25th) and several decidedly un-metallic singles already out in the world, it's clear the band are dipping their collective toes into the world of pop music. Their love for pop was on full display during a recent stop at BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac show when the group played a stripped-down cover of singer Billie Eilish's smash hit "come over when the party's over." Their take on the song abandons the original's airy synthesizers in favor of acoustic guitar work, but BMTH have kept the delicately layered vocals from the original version. Singer Oli Sykes really shows off his range here, giving a smooth performance that fans normally don't hear from the group, even when they do get poppy. The rest of the band forms a powerful backing section, each of their voices creating a choral effect that sets the performance over the top. It's far cry from Bring Me's deathcore past, that's for sure.
