Oli Sykes talks about Donald Trump and ANTIFA in new mini documentary released by the band

Oli Sykes is the lead singer of Bring Me The Horizon and has recently shared his opinion on several subjects, including Antifa. When talking about the new song “Kingslayer”, which was released on their latest EP, the singer has a few words about the current political climate. It starts at around the 7:40 mark in the video below.

Directed by Brian Cox, this mini documentary shows different elements of the band talking about songs included on their newest record.

Oli had the following to say:

"Kingslayer is like, even though the title is just taken from Call of Duty, it was just a word I applied to a meaning. And that meaning is to be someone who does what's right even if it's illegal in the eyes of the law, or even if it's not socially acceptable. If you know it's right and you do it, no matter what, it's like you're a king slayer."

"I think in a time where Donald Trump is trying to deem Antifa terrorists, it makes him openly admit that he's a fascist by saying that anti-fascist groups are terrorists. Things like Extinction Rebellion being classed as a terrorist organization, these are people that are trying to save the world, and they're deemed as terrorist."

Oli Sykes concludes: "If you know something's wrong and you're brave enough to step aside and go, 'I'm not into this, I won't stand for it and I won't take it.' Even if it's what everyone else is saying's right, that's what a Kingslayer is."

The band released their latest EP POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR on October 30, 2020, and the group formed by Oliver Sykes (vocals), Lee Malia (guitar), Jordan Fish (keyboard and voice), Matt Kean (bass) and Matt Nicholls (drums) found a way to condense absolutely all phases of their career in a single record.
