Before the Bring Me The Horizon band's show at Rock in Rio's Palco Mundo, a trailer for the fake video game "Post Human NexGen" was shown on the giant screen, filling the entire display before the performance began. The English new wave metal group delivered a show full of video game references, demonstrating the band's strong connection to the gaming universe.
The song "Shadow Moses," one of the band's biggest anthems, has a direct connection to the world of gaming. The title is a direct reference to the fictional island where most of the story of the first Metal Gear Solid takes place. Singer Oli Sykes decided to bring one of his great passions into the music: the Metal Gear Solid video game.
Before becoming an anthem, "Shadow Moses" was born during a time of uncertainty for the English band. The group was coming off a break, had just signed with a major record label, and was preparing an album that would represent an important shift in their musical trajectory.
