"The funny thing is," admits Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes reflecting on our last conversation, "although happiness doesn't sell, the album is all about making light out of the dark. It's about accepting the darkness, and accepting the things that you don't like about yourself. As it goes, the album's themes are quite dark - it's about depression, but it's also about how to accept depression and accept the shadow part of your cycle."

It's been one hell of a ride for Bring Me The Horizon. From being Yorkshire metal outsiders, to a band on the brink as Sykes battled drug addiction and depression, to the champions of British rock - headlining Wembley Arena and tipped to headline festivals in the not too distant future.

As the band release their most ambitious album to date, That's The Spirit, we caught up with Sykes and Jordan Fish to talk battling their demons, becoming a closer unit, and how they've moved past metal without selling out.
