With Amo, BMTH again covered a wide range of genres and let their inspirations run wild. This time the concept is: love. “MANTRA” as one of the best-known songs was intended to be a proper comeback song and came to the band pretty quickly. “in the dark” with its dark pop vibe, on the other hand, took a while and was completely rewritten in between. Oli Sykes declared “nihilist blues” his favorite song on the album in an interview, while Jordan Fish chose “why you gotta kick me when i’m down?”. A feature with Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth) came about because it wasn’t supposed to be an ordinary feature from the familiar core scene, but something that stands out. Tragically, Oli Sykes sings about a childhood friend who died of cancer in “i don’t know what to say”.
