Bring Me The Horizon, “AmEN!” [📷: Sony Music Entertainment UK]Bring Me The Horizon enlists Lil Uzi Vert, Daryl Palumbo, and Glassjaw for the dynamic, unapologetic rock single, “AmEN!”

When it comes to 🎙 Bring Me The Horizon, is there any way possible NOT to rock TF out 🤘? Hell naw! 🎙 Oli Sykes and company even manage to bring religion into it on their single, 🎵 “AmEN!”. “I hope you have fun rotting in hell / Swim the witch, slay the infidel,” Sykes sings in the first verse, adding, “Suck a dick, heretic / I hate you / And I’d like to see you burn, burn, burn.” WOO! If you were wondering if Oli had grown religious, however, no worries – he’s still very much atheist: “Just let me suffer (suffer in peace).” Assisting Sykes are the colorful 🎙 Lil Uzi Vert, 🎙 Daryl Palumbo, and 🎙 Glassjaw.

Safe to say, Sykes, Uzi Vert, and Palumbo kick ass and take names on “AmEN!” – can I get a hallelujah, church 👏 🙌?  With the tone set in the first verse – again, “suck a dick, heretic” 😂 – the chorus puts a cap on it. “Too late to repent / The wicked will reap what they sow,” Sykes sings, assisted by Palumbo, adding, “We will sanctify (Rise, my brethren ) / Purify (Purge out the sin).” Holy Hell – err, I mean, heaven! Palumbo performs the second verse, continuing to highlight heresy and such, with Lil Uzi Vert supporting the second half: “Yeah, you fanatics prey on me, hate on me / Patiently waiting to watch me bleed / Get your head from out of my ass / Got me feeling like a human centipede.” Gah-day-ummm! Basically, Oli and company are telling religious fanatics to leave them TF alone! Message received, in a colorful, rock-tastic way on 🎵 “AmEN!” a surefire BANGER!
