When COVID-19 struck, things became, understandably, pretty quiet for the music industry for about three or four months.

SDE was told: “It’s not true that majors are going to plants and demanding ‘Take everyone else off press, you have to press ours’”.

Possibly. After the success of Post Human: Survival Horror, Bring Me The Horizon have no qualms about repeating the idea.
