The Rock in Rio festival received the English band Bring Me The Horizon at Palco Mundo, in a show that raised questions about the future of rock'n'roll and its relevance for new generations. Before the show started, a trailer for the fake game "Post Human NexGen" was displayed on the giant screen of the stage, promising a show full of violence and guts-and-gore.
The show opened with the song "DArkSide", a track described as heavy as it is pop and technological. The article suggests that current rock needs to be an adrenalized mix of absolutely everything, with mathematical calculations to ensure that each chorus has a stunning effect on the audience.
Vocalist Oli Sykes, described as a dynamo, interacted with the Brazilian audience speaking labored Portuguese, asking for "I need more big!" before performing the song "House of Wolves". The band demonstrated its connection with the Brazilian audience, since Sykes is a resident of the country.
The critique seeks to answer the central question about where rock'n'roll is heading, suggesting that Bring Me The Horizon brings some of these answers through its formula that combines heavy elements, pop and technology in their performances.
