Needless to say, when Biffy Clyro were putting the finishing touches to their eighth album at the start of 2020, they couldn’t have dreamed of the version of the world it’d be released into. A record loosely based around - as the title infers - the idea that the world we once knew has ended, and we’ve moved into a new era of uncertainty, it’s an album that unsurprisingly comes imbued with the sense of creeping darkness we’re now familiar with. “I poke at my eyes just to prove they’re no longer worthless / All I see is black / There’s no brightness coming back” goes the opening refrain of the tremendous ‘North of No South’, giving a swift glimpse into the Scottish trio’s psyche this time around.
