With this album, Bring Me The Horizon released the first part of their series “Post Human”, which is supposed to comprise four works in total. Originally, it was supposed to be four EPs, but then suddenly there were nine songs. Accordingly, Jordan Fish backtracked on the term. With Survival Horror, there are already high expectations for the upcoming releases, as it is also the return of some harder sounds. The features of Yungblud and BABYMETAL also influence the album’s mood, making the whole album seem even more dynamic.

The songs were created in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and yet the song “Parasite Eve” wasn’t dedicated to this virus. The band even slightly changed the lyrics before its release.
