Bring Me The Horizon played ‘Limousine’ today in Japan, alongside the song’s guest vocalist AURORA for the first time – check out footage below.

The song is taken from the band’s recent album ‘Post Human: Nex Gen’, and the crowd at Summer Sonic Festival at the ZOZO Marine Stadium in Chiba were lucky enough to see the first performance of the track by the band alongside the Norwegian singer.

Check out footage of the collaboration here:

Frontman Oli Sykes told NME in June about the song’s inception and his choice of AURORA as guest vocalist.

“I know what I wanted on that song and that was someone to bring something that could level it up – someone like a really ethereal, haunting, beautiful, voice,” he explained.

“I wanted someone to elevate it and take it somewhere else. The song itself is very Deftones-influenced, almost to a point of parody! For this whole record, we’re happy to admit that the songs all are very nostalgic homages to loads of bands, but it’s also felt very important that we do something where we were pushing it as well to make it our own, put our own stamp on it.”

AURORA, Sykes reasoned, “was that person that helped elevate the song to something that feels exotic and different.” He added: “AURORA for me is what a pop star should be, what the next wave of pop stars should look like; someone that has the songs, but is a real person who dares to speak what they believe in, who gives a shit about the world.”

Sykes had previously revealed that the song nearly featured Billie Eilish instead, with whom the band had connected through her photographer, but it did not materialise.

NME also spoke with AURORA about the track, shortly before she took to the Park Stage at Glastonbury this year. “Well, I’m a very big metal fan. I heard Bring Me The Horizon when I was a teenager,” she said. “They were with me for some time. I was introduced to them by a lover. My first lover who actually died. It is sad. But it’s beautiful as well. Because now when I listen to them, and now when I made a song with him, I know that he would be just – it felt very full circle in the journey of grief.”

Speaking about connecting with Sykes and the band, she added: “We bonded over Palestine. Because I was like, ‘We need to stick up for them’, and he was like, ‘Yeah, we do. It’s true’. Then he was like, “Do you want to make a song?” I was like, ‘Yes!’”

In a four-star review of the album, NME wrote: “Few modern rock bands have made an album that is such a bombardment of sound and colour. Post-Jordan Fish, they continue to be what they’ve always been: a creative force that transcends the personalities of its individuals. It entirely justifies the four-year wait, which already feels like ancient history. Buckle up – because this is still BMTH’s world, and we’ll be living in it for quite some time yet.”
