Bring Me The Horizon (BMTH) is a British metalcore/deathcore band from Sheffield, Yorkshire, who formed in 2004.
I'm not a huge fan of metalcore or well screamo in general but these guys have a couple songs that really get my blood pumping!

Matt Kean − bass guitar
Lee Malia − lead guitar
Matt Nicholls − drums
Oliver Sykes – lead vocals
Jona Weinhofen - rhythm guitar, keyboards, programming, backing vocals

Yes! Bring Me The Horizon is one of those bands that I enjoy regularly. Surprisingly there isn't a considerably large fan base. A lot of people say they are talentless and what not. I think they've got just as much talent as any other metalcore band. I suppose it all just depends on what people like.

Nice thread Harkat, not a fan of metalcore myself, but that doesn't mean they haven't done a couple of good songs.

I find that they do some interesting things with their music, their songs don't all sound the same, they jump between vocals a bit.
I prefer Suicide Season.

Anything before that is a tad too screamo for me. Their latest album has quite a few different idea's in it. It has more electronic effects than their previous albums and they have a chorus in it.

This thread takes me back a couple of years to another forum, I made a critical comment about the lead singer and then was "mobbed" by his female fans...had to make a hasty exit from that thread and never went back....:

I was reading, quite some time back, that BMTH and another band staged a mock fight .... and then a massive fan vs fan battle erupted between all the fans


I am rather happy with this band. Their last album has a lot more variety in it, many more idea's in it.
I would describe their style of music in their latest album as disjointed, melodic and all over the place
One second screaming and thrashing of instruments then clean, whispered, vocals and a violin

Yeah, The 'There Is A Hell Believe Me I've Seen It...' album was amazing. It seemed a lot cleaner than there other stuff, and sounded more professional. Not to say that Suicide Season wasn't great. That album is one of my personal favorites. Especially with Death Breath. I could play that song over and over and it'll never get old.

'There Is A Hell Believe Me I've Seen It...' is a lot cleaner but the idea's and effort gone into it cannot be dismissed.


What gets to me is this though:

Voted Worst Band of 2010. (Kerrang! readers poll)

Bring Me the Horizon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

but on the other hand:
There Is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kerrang commented that "the quintet are walking down a far darker, more personal path" and that "it's an album that bursts with ambition, and that Bring Me The Horizon pull it off so powerfully further confirms their greatness".

So the readers of this Kerrang have voted BMTH's 2010 release (and 2008 release) as one of the worst that year but the actual magazine gives them quite a bit of praise!!



This here has a review for each individual song on 'There Is a Hell...'

aah heres the fight!





"During a tour, Bring Me the Horizon and Architects filmed a video showing a staged fight between Oliver Sykes and Architects' lead singer Sam Carter. The video was uploaded to YouTube and outraged many Bring Me the Horizon fans, causing many to send hate mail towards Sam Carter. Carter made it clear in an interview with Kerrang! that the whole thing was a joke, as did Sykes."

I love the review they gave for Crucify Me and It Never Ends. Those two are my favorite songs off the entire album.
