The band released their debut albumCount Your Blessingsin 2006. Upon release, the album's deathcore sound polarised listeners, and was largely met with critical disdain. The band began to break away from this sound with their second albumSuicide Season(2008), which was considered a creative, critical and commercial turning point for the band. Bring Me the Horizon released their third album,There Is a Hell Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven Let's Keep It a Secret.,in 2010, propelling them to greater international fame, whilst incorporating influences fromclassical music,electronicaandpop.Their major label debut,Sempiternal,(2013) achieved Gold certification in Australia (35,000) and Silver in the United Kingdom (60,000).That's the Spirit(2015) debuted at number two in theUK Albums Chartand the USBillboard200.[1][2]Their sixth studio albumAmo(2019) became their first UK chart-topper.

The style of their early work, including their debut albumCount Your Blessings,has been described primarily asdeathcore,but over the course of several albums, the band has shifted its style and moved in a more melodically-oriented direction by combining their approach to metalcore with elements ofelectronica,popandhip hop.[4][5]

History

Formation and early releases (2002–2006)

Main article:This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For

Bring Me the Horizon's founding members came from diverse musical backgrounds within metal and rock.Matt NichollsandOliver Sykeshad a common interest in Americanmetalcoresuch asNorma JeanandSkycamefalling,and used to attend localhardcore punkshows. They later metLee Malia,who spoke with them aboutthrash metalandmelodic death metalbands likeMetallicaandAt the Gates;Malia had also been part of a Metallica tribute band before meeting the pair.[6]Bring Me the Horizon officially formed in March 2004, when the members were aged 15 to 17.[7]Curtis Ward, who also lived in theRotherhamarea, joined Sykes, Nicholls and Malia on drums. BassistMatt Kean,who was in other local bands, completed the line-up.[8]Their name is taken from a line of dialogue spoken byCaptain Jack Sparrowin the 2003 filmPirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,in which Sparrow says: "Now, bring me that horizon."[9]

In the months following their formation, Bring Me the Horizon created a demo album titledBedroom Sessions.They followed this by releasing their firstEP,This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For,in September 2004 through local UK label Thirty Days of Night Records.[8]Bring Me the Horizon were the label's first signing.[10]It was recorded at Pristine Studios in Nottingham over the course of two weekends, with drums and bass laid down over the first weekend, and guitars and vocals completed a week later.[11]

UK labelVisible Noisenoticed the band after the release of their EP,[8]and signed them for a four-album deal, in addition to re-releasing the EP in January 2005.[8]The re-release gained the band significant attention, eventually peaking at No. 41 on the UK album charts.[12]The band was later awarded Best British Newcomer at the2006 Kerrang! Awardsceremony.[13]

The band's first tour was supportingThe Red Chordacross the United Kingdom.[8]As with other early tours, they were able to get this slot by tricking venue promoters. Kean and Oliver's mother Carol Sykes were the de facto managers of the band at this time, a role they continued to occupy until 2008.[8]For The Red Chord support, Kean emailed promoters and pretended they were opening on all the dates, when they were supposed to play only at their local show. This led them to being booked for the whole tour. In another case, Sykes created an e-mail account in the name ofJohnny Truantvocalist Oliver Mitchell, which he used to contact a promoter requesting Bring Me the Horizon on their tour.[8]Alcohol consumption fuelled their live performances in their early history when the band would get so drunk they vomited on stage and damaged their equipment.[8]

Count Your Blessings(2006–2007)

Main article:Count Your Blessings
Bring Me the Horizon in Vienna

The band released their debut albumCount Your Blessingsin October 2006 in the United Kingdom[14]and in August 2007 in the United States.[15]They rented a house in the country to write songs, but easily became distracted. They then recorded the album in inner-city Birmingham, a process which was infamous for their excessive and dangerous drinking. During this period drummer Nicholls summarised it saying "we were out every night, just being regular 18-year-olds".[16]Critics panned the album adding to the strongly polarised responses the band were already seeing from the public.[7]

They supportedCount Your Blessingsby going on a lengthy headline tour of the UK in November,[17]and immediately followed this joiningLostprophetsandThe Blackouton a UK tour[18]through late November and December 2006.

In January 2007, Bring Me the Horizon were able to set their sights beyond the UK, when they replacedBury Your DeadonKillswitch Engage's European headline tour. The slot became available after Bury Your Dead were forced to withdraw by the departure from the band of their vocalist, Mat Bruso.[19]Bring Me the Horizon's presence on the tour was poorly received by fans of Killswitch Engage, with concert attendees regularlythrowing bottlesat the band before they even started playing their set.[20]

Suicide Seasonand Ward's departure (2008–2009)

Main article:Suicide Season

Bring Me the Horizon recorded their second studio album,Suicide Season,in Sweden with producerFredrik Nordström.He was unimpressed with their first album and was initially absent from the recording sessions unless he needed to be there. Nordström later heard the new sound they were experimenting with during a recording session and became very involved in the record.[21]It was promoted virally in the weeks before its release with the promotional tag line "September is Suicide Season."[22]To promoteSuicide Seasonthe band embarked on their first headline tour of the United States,[23]as well as appearing at the 2008Warped Tour.[24]In May 2008, Bring Me the Horizon was the main supporting band onI Killed the Prom Queen's farewell Australian tour withThe Ghost InsideandThe Red Shore.[25]

Suicide Seasonwas released on 18 September 2008 in the United States onEpitaphand on 29 September in Europe through Visible Noise. In 2009, Bring Me the Horizon attended the2009 Kerrang! TouralongsideBlack Tide,Dir En Grey,In Case of FireandMindless Self Indulgence.[26]They also joinedThursday,Cancer Bats,Four Year StrongandPierce the Veilon the North American leg of the 2009Taste of Chaostour from February to April[16]after the tour's organizerKevin Lymanoffered them the slot. The band were initially hesitant to join this tour, but were convinced after Lyman offered them a bus and $500 of fuel for the tour.[27]

Jona Weinhofenjoined the band in 2009 after leavingBleeding Through.

During the Taste of Chaos tour in March of that year, guitarist Curtis Ward left the band.[28]His relationship with the band had deteriorated as his stage performances were poor. He was abusive to audiences during the Taste of Chaos tour,[16]and had contributed little to the writing ofSuicide Season.[11]Another reason for his departure was the worseningtinnitusin his one functioning ear. Ward was born deaf in one ear and admitted playing in the band worsened the ringing in his other ear to such a degree that he was unable to sleep at night.[29]Ward offered to perform the rest of the tour dates, which the band rejected and instead asked their guitar technician, Dean Rowbotham, to substitute for him for the remaining performances.[16]Lee Malia noted that Ward's departure helped improve everyone's mood as he had been very negative.[16]Within a week of the tour finishing, Sykes began talking toJona Weinhofen,at the time the guitarist ofBleeding Through.The band knew of him from his work with his former band I Killed the Prom Queen,[16]and he was asked to join them.[30]Ward has since worked on the TV showTop Gear,[31]and has occasionally performed on stage with Bring Me The Horizon, playing "Pray For Plagues", most notably atWembley Arenain 2015.[32]In 2016, it was announced that Ward had joined the band Counting Days.[33]

In November 2009, Bring Me the Horizon released a remixed version ofSuicide Season,titledSuicide Season: Cut Up!Musicians and producers featured on the album include:Ben Weinman,Skrillex,L'Amour La Morgue,Utah SaintsandShawn Crahan.[34][35]

Matt Nicholls describes the lyrical themes ofThere Is a Hell... as being "repercussions of everything we were singing about on our last CD [Suicide Season]," calling the music and lyrics a lot moodier and darker.[11]Five singles were released from the album including: "It Never Ends","Anthem ","Blessed with a Curse","Visions ", and" Alligator Blood ", with music videos produced for each of the songs. The band embarked on a headline tour in intimate venues across the United Kingdom with support from Cancer Bats and Tek-One.[42]In December 2010, Bring Me the Horizon joinedBullet for My Valentineas the main support band, alongsideAtreyu,on a short five-date arena tour around the United Kingdom.[43]To cope with high demand,Live Nationreleased extra standing tickets for all dates.[44]

They toured withParkway Drive,Architects,andThe Devil Wears Prada.[45]On 28 April, Nicholls broke his arm whilst playing football with members of Bring Me the Horizon, Parkway Drive and Architects. Instead of cancelling the tour, Architects' drummer Dan Searle filled in as drummer, but this meant that Bring Me the Horizon's setlist was halved in length.[46]The tour was extended with a North American leg from 13 August to 4 October, retaining Parkway Drive and Architects and addingDeez Nutsto the line up.[47]On 23 August they released the fourth music video and single, "Visions",[48]and on 31 October the music video for the song "Alligator Blood" was released.[49]

In August 2018, cryptic posters appeared in major cities throughout the world with the message "do you wanna start a cult with me?".[98]The posters were attributed by major media outlets to the band only by their use of the hexagram logo previously used by the band.

Each poster provided a unique phone number and a website address.[99]The website provided a brief message titled "An Invitation To Salvation" and shows the date of 21 August 2018.

Artistry

Style and influences

Among Bring Me the Horizon's earliest influences were bands likeAt the Gates,Carcass,Pantera,Metallica,Zao,Arch Enemy,The Dillinger Escape Plan,Every Time I Die,Norma Jean,SkycamefallingandPoison the Well;[6][11][175][176][177]and genresdeath metallike "DecapitatedorSuffocation",[178]grindcore,andemohave been cited byAllMusicwriter Steward Mason.[179]

However, as their sound developed, the band started to take influences fromprogressive rock,post-rock,dubstepandelectronica.[180][175]

In an interview withNME,Sykes said thatThat's the Spiritis a looseconcept albumabout life's darker moods, such as depression, and a way of making light of it. He cited thealternative rockbandsJane's Addiction,Panic! at the Disco,InterpolandRadioheadas influences for the new album.[181]They also citedTwenty One Pilotsas an influence on the band's "next phase".[182]

Oliver Sykes also said that his vocal style on Sempiternal was influenced byChester Benningtonand citedHybrid Theoryas one of his favorite albums.[183]The album that got him to metal wasAlive or Just BreathingbyKillswitch Engage.[178]Jordan Fish said that the albums that influenced him most wereLinkin Park'sHybrid TheoryandDeftones'White Pony.[184]

The band's musical style has been described mainly asmetalcoreand – though they have since moved on from the genre – their early material was considereddeathcore.[note 1]Across their career the band has also been said to play within the genresalternative metal,alternative rock,post-hardcore,pop rock,electronic rock,hard rock,heavy metal,pop metal,pop,nu metal,electropop,emo,hip hop,EDM,arena rock,melodic metalcore,electronicore,electronica,screamo,hardcore punk,industrial metal,hyperpop,andpop-punk.[note 2]

Bring Me the Horizon have attempted to grow and change with each album, believing they should be different.[27]Raziq Rauf, writing forDrowned in Sound,describedCount Your Blessingsas possessing "Norma Jean-style thunderous riffs mixed with some dastardlysludgydoommoments and morebreakdownsthan your dad's old Nissan Sunny. "[17]Metal HammerdescribedSuicide Seasonas a "creative, critical and commercial success" for the band[180]as they started to adopt a more eclectic style,[225]with its "crushingly heavy party deathcore".[7]Leading up to its release, Oliver Sykes described it as "100% different toCount Your Blessings"and noted the album sounds" more rock than metal ".[226]As time went by, Bring Me the Horizon began rejecting their debut albumCount Your Blessingsand consideredSuicide Seasonas their "Year Zero[...][their]wipe-the-slate-clean time ".[227]

Bring Me the Horizon then moved even further away from deathcore with their third albumThere Is a Hell...,which incorporated electronica, classical music and pop music into their metalcore style.[228]This required more ambitious production feats, such as using a fullchoir,a synthesisedorchestraand glitched out vocals and breakdowns that were also toned down, favouring quiet atmospheric passages in song breaks.[222][229]For the writing ofSempiternal,the band pooled far broader influences such as post-rock acts likeThis Will Destroy YouandExplosions in the Sky[230]and from pop music.[231]

Bring Me the Horizon has experimented with its music in recent years, mi xing pop with metal music,[232][233][234]leading the band to be labelled a pop metal act.[215]With the release ofThat's the Spirit,their sound shifted towards alternative rock,[235][236][237]alternative metal,[179][238]electronic rock,[209]pop rock[194][239]arena rock,[240]and nu metal,[219]while completely abandoning the metalcore sound of their earlier albums.[194]The band's next album,Amo,was also described as pop rock[241]and electronic rock,[242]but also described as hard rock,[186]pop metal,[243]electropop,[241]synth-pop,[241]andEDM.[241]The band's next release,Music to Listen To...moved away from rock and moved intoambient,[244][245][246]electropop,[244][245]electronica,[246]experimental,[247]andindustrial.[247]Their next release,Post Human: Survival Horror,returned to the heavier sound and was described as alternative metal,[221][248]metalcore,[248]industrial metal,[223]and electronica.[249]The band's seventh studio album,Post Human: Nex Genwas described as post-hardcore,[250][251]pop-punk,[224][252]hyperpop,[224]alternative metal,[253]metalcore,[252]electronica,[252]emo,[224]nu metal,[224]andeasycore.[224]

In all the band's album notes, all of Bring Me the Horizon's lyrics are said to be written by lead vocalistOli Sykeswhile all five members—as a band—were credited with writing the music. With the exception ofCount Your Blessings,the band has always written in a secluded location to avoid being distracted.[229]Sykes' lyrics have a strong feeling ofcatharsisfor him. He mainly draws from personal experience and has described the band's live performances astherapeutic.[228]In 2006, when asked about the lyrics ofCount Your Blessings,as they had been criticised for their content solely fixated onheartbreakand other themes that were called "shallow and meaningless", he responded "My life's never been that bad so I've not got that much to talk about."[17] Band members have described how the debut album was written in inner-city areas ofBirminghamwhile being pressured to write and record songs to the deadlines given.[11]This resulted in the band being unimpressed with the final product. However, for the writing process ofSuicide Season,the band realised that they preferred picking areas with less human contact to focus on the music; they wrote their second album in the Swedish countryside.[196]During the writing ofSuicide Season,former and founding rhythm guitarist Curtis Ward wrote only two riffs of his rhythm parts of the album, mostly relying on Lee Malia to write all of the guitar sections of the album.[11]

Malia has stated that the typical writing process involves Sykes writing the main structure of the songs, followed by Malia writing the main riff. From this, they would collaborate with each other to structure their work better and then later include the rest of the band in writing the rest of the song.[229]The writing dynamic ofSempiternal,typically featured Sykes, Malia, and newly introduced member Jordan Fish. According to Sykes, "Writing 'Sempiternal' was a completely different process...we worked from a computer, laying down ideas and riffs...bringing Jordan into the mix changed things completely; he opened up so many more possibilities."[254]As they all took a break before writing their fourth album, they felt less of a need for an isolated writing environment.[255]

Image and legacy

Sykes (pictured in 2014) has often been seen as the "poster boy" of Bring Me the Horizon's image.[17]

During the band's early years, they were praised for their business acumen for selling mail-order merchandise and not relying on sales at live shows.[256]Bring Me the Horizon's image has been characterised by the dominating personality of singer and front-man Oliver Sykes, and he has often been seen as the band's "Poster boy",[17][257]bearing the brunt of the band's controversial reputation.[7]In their early years, Bring Me the Horizon's image was infamously characterised by its members fashion sense and use of skinny-fit jeans, T-shirts with death metal band logos on the front and coloured hair/straightened hair. The band's image fit into what was calledscene fashion.[20][256]The effect of their fashion aesthetics showed people, in show promoter Iain Scott's perspective, that "you don't have to look like a diabolical metalhead to be into metal or play in a metal band".[20]However, their fashion conscious appearance earned them a "style over substance" label.[6]

Many controversies that occurred in their early years greatly affected public perceptions of the band, particularly an incident in 2007 atNottingham'sRock Cityvenue, when a female fan claimed that Oliver Sykes had urinated on her.[258]The charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence from CCTV footage in the area.[259]There were several documented examples of violence against the band during their live shows, including Sykes beingpepper sprayedon stage;[27]and people getting onstage to assault the band.[260]

Despite the controversy over their image, various journalists have credited the band as being one of the most forward-thinking heavy bands in the UK.[180]In 2012, just four years after the release ofSuicide Season,the album was inducted intoRock Sound'sHall of Fame,credited as a significant influence on the works ofAsking Alexandria,The Ghost Inside andWhile She Sleeps.It was credited as an influence on metalcore contemporaries Architects onHollow Crownwith their incorporation of keyboards and programming, and The Devil Wears Prada'sDead Thronefor its more experimental and opinion-dividing sound.[21]In an interview withKerrang!,guitarist Lee Malia remarked that the band wanted to go a bit more experimental, saying: "I always think we have been a year ahead of bands who are kind of just seeing what's cool and then copying it."[261]

The band caused further controversy in February 2016 when Oliver Sykes trashedColdplay's table at the 2016NME Awardsduring a live performance of Bring Me the Horizon's track "Happy Song".[262]Sykes later stated that the act was not an act of "dirty protest", and suggested that it was "pure coincidence" that Coldplay were sitting at the table he trampled.[262]Coldplay frontmanChris Martinadmitted that he had never even heard of Bring Me the Horizon before the incident and he laughed it off, stating that "it was great, very 'rock and roll'".[263]

Another controversy occurred on April 20, 2024, when they posted a promotional ad for the Brisbane show in Australia in which it said, "If Jesus Christ returns, well just kill that fucker 2X," and it caused some divisive backlash among the fan base.[264]
