Bring Me The Horizon have announced an album of lo-fi reworkings of some of their biggest songs will be released this week.
The Sheffield metal band posted on X yesterday (July 8) that they have “collaborated with producers we love from the lofi scene to launch a new project where we’ve reworked BMTH songs and created lofi versions”.
They added that the tracks are designed for “chilling, focus, sleeping, zoning out…whatever u like”.

They went on to reveal today (July 9) that the album will be titled ‘Lo-files’, featuring 23 retooled versions of their songs, and it will be available from Friday (July 11). Pre-save the album here.
The band have also shared a number of slides on Instagram that give fans brief glimpses of the music that will be included on ‘Lo-files’, with atmospheric, ambient, gently percussive and wordless snippets of music included alongside photos and video clips of the band backstage at gigs and in rehearsal spaces.

Bring Me The Horizon are set to headline Reading & Leeds 2025 next month, and Sykes told NME last December that they have “a few more songs” ready for the shows. That followed previous teases that there are songs as part of ‘Nex Gen: Director’s Cut’ that he would like to release.
The band have also announced a North American arena tour for autumn 2025 – see all the dates here – and they will also appear at Louder Than Life festival in the US in September.
The Sheffield band released their seventh and latest studio album, ‘Post Human: Nex Gen’, last May. It was later named as one of NME‘s best albums of 2024, and praised for “set[ting] new bars for modern metal”.
Speaking to NME at the BRITs 2025 earlier this year, Sykes explained that BMTH will need to take some time off “at some point, it’s just about finding that time”. He continued: “I think we need to go away for a bit, but it’s hard because there is always so much we want to do and so many places we want to tour.”
On that note, Sykes told NME last year that the Reading & Leeds shows will be their “final shows before we go away for maybe quite some time,” confirming that they will mark the end of the ‘Nex Gen’ run “for sure”.
