See Bring Me The Horizon play liMOusIne live with AURORA for the first time

This weekend, Bring Me The Horizon gave a POST HUMAN: NeX GEn favourite its live debut.

While in Japan playing this year’s SUMMER SONIC – as part of the band’s NX_GN World Tour – BMTH performed liMOusIne for the first time ever. They dropped the track live in Osaka on Saturday, August 17, before then playing it again the following night at ZOZO Marine Stadium with the song’s guest star, AURORA.

Speaking to Kerrang! in May, frontman Oli Sykes revealed that liMOusIne is about dealing with “repetitive habits”, and the simpler choice of an instant high, “rather than take the long path of actually being someone who’s happy on a more consistent basis”.

On NeX GEn’s delay following 2020’s Post Human: Survival Horror, Oli explained that, “It just became a different beast to what I had in my head for it, and what we thought it was going to be. I thought I was going to be sitting around for the next couple years, bang a few EPs out, you know, that’ll be cool for people.

“The concept of the record just grew and grew and grew. And then we started playing the live shows and bringing EVE into it, which initially was a quick idea to gel all these different visuals we had together, and make it feel like there was something overarching. That grew and became bigger, and it started feeding into the album. It became this massive concept.”
