In July at the Alternative Press Music Awards Sykes accepted the award for 'Best Album', for Sempiternal, and in his acceptance speech Sykes spoke about his time in rehab and also his support from family, friends and fans.
Sykes said “No one fucking knows this, but I went to rehab for a month, and through that time, you guys had no fucking idea that I was in rehab. But you were sending me letters. You were sending me text messages. You were sending me fucking emails. When I got out of that rehab, I didn’t wanna fucking scream anymore; I wanted to sing it through the rooftops, and it’s all thanks to you. So thank you very much.”
The band release 'Drown' on the 7th of December and are planning to go back to the studio early next year for their next album.
Syke's screaming days may be over for now, thats not to say however they won't resurface again, coming back over the horizon.
