Bring Me the Horizon (often abbreviated as BMTH) are a British rock band, formed in Sheffield in 2004. The group currently consists of lead vocalist Oliver Sykes, guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls and keyboardist Jordan Fish. They are signed to RCA Records globally and Columbia Records exclusively in the United States.

The band released their debut album Count Your Blessings in 2006.

Upon release, the album's 07

deathcore sound polarised listeners, and was largely met with critical disdain. The band began to break away from this sound with their second album Suicide 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 from classical music, electronica

and pop. 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 the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200. Their sixth studio album Amo (2019) became their first UK chart-topper. The same year, the band also put out the commercial release, Music to Listen To... (2019). The following year, the band released Post Human: Survival Horror (2020), the first in a planned series of four projects under the Post Human name. The band have also released two extended plays and two live albums. They have received four Kerrang! Awards, including two for Best British Band and one for Best Live Band, and have been nominated for

two Grammy Awards. The band has sold over 4 million records worldwide, and have topped the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart with songs such as "Throne", "Drown, "Mantra" and "Parasite Eve".

The style of their early work, including their debut album Count Your Blessings, has been described primarily as deathcore, 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 of electronica, pop and hip hop.

2023 COLLECTION

Count your blessi ngs (2006) The band released their debut album Count Your Blessings in October 2006 in the United Kingdom and in August 2007 in the United States. 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”.

Critics panned the album adding to the strongly polarised responses the band were already seeing from the public.

In January 2007, Bring Me the Horizon were able to set their sights beyond the UK, when they replaced Bury Your Dead on Killswitch 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. Bring Me the Horizon’s presence on the tour was poorly received by fans of Killswitch Engage, with concert attendees regularly throwing bottles at the band before they even started playing their set.

23

suici de season (2008) Bring Me the Horizon recorded their second studio album, Suicide Season, in Sweden with producer Fredrik Nordstrom. 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. It was promoted virally in the weeks before its release with the promotional tag line “September is Suicide Season.” To promote Suicide Season the band embarked on their first headline tour of the United States, as well as appearing at the 2008 Warped Tour. In May 2008, Bring Me the Horizon was the main supporting band on I Killed the Prom Queen’s farewell Australian with The Ghost Inside & The Red Shore.

Suicide Season was released on 18 September 2008 in the United States on Epitaph and on 29 September in Europe through Visible Noise. In 2009, Bring Me the Horizon attended the 2009 Kerrang!

Tour alongside Black Tide, Dir En Grey, In Case of Fire and Mindless Self Indulgence. They also joined Thursday, Cancer Bats, Four Year Strong and Pierce the Veil on the North American leg of the 2009 Taste of Chaos tour from

February to April after the tour’s organizer Kevin Lyman offered 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.

th e re is a h e ll (2011) The band’s third album, and first with their new rhythm guitarist Jona Weinhofen, titled There Is a Hell Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There Is a Heaven Let’s Keep It a Secret., was released on 4 October 2010 and debuted at number 17 on the Billboard 200 in the United States, number 13 on the UK Album Chart, and number one on the Australian Albums Chart,the UK Rock Chartand the UK Indie Chart.Despite reaching number one in Australia, the album’s sales were the lowest for a number one album in the history of the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) charts.

Matt Nicholls describes the lyrical themes of There 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.Five singles were 25

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. In December 2010, Bring Me the Horizon joined Bullet for My Valentine as the main support band, alongside Atreyu, on a short five-date arena tour around the United Kingdom. To cope with high demand, Live Nation released extra standing tickets for all dates.

SE M PITE RNAL (2011-2013) After an intense touring schedule, Bring Me the Horizon finally completed their third album’s promotion at the end of 2011. They returned to the UK for an extended break and eventually starting work on their next album. Much like their previous two albums, they wrote their fourth album in seclusion and isolation to stay focused. This time, they retreated to a house in the Lake District.

In July, the band started to publish images of themselves recording at a ‘Top Secret Studio Location,’ and revealed they were working with producer Terry Date for the recording and production of the album. On 30 July, the band announced they had left their label and signed with RCA, who would release their fourth album in 2013.

On 4 January 2013, Bring Me the Horizon released the first single from Sempiternal, “Shadow Moses”. It was first played by radio presenter Daniel P. Carter on BBC’s Radio 1. Due to popular

demand, Epitaph released the music video for the song a week earlier than planned. In January, the band also saw a change in their line up. This began early in the month when Jordan Fish, Worship keyboardist and session musician for the band during the writing of Sempiternal, was announced as a full member. Then later in the month, Jona Weinhofen left the band for undisclosed reasons. Despite the band denying speculation that Fish replaced Weinhofen, reviewers said that replacing a guitarist with a keyboardist better fit their style.

That's th e Spi rit (2015-2017) In late June, the band began to promote pictures of an umbrella symbol being used as a tattoo, and on stickers, and posters across England, the United States, Australia, and Europe; it was later used for a promotional cover for the band’s first single. The band released a short video in early July where the words “that’s the spirit” could be heard in reverse. On 13 July 2015, the promotional single “Happy Song” was released on the band’s Vevo page, and on 21 July 2015, Sykes revealed the album’s name was That’s the Spirit.

On 22 April 2016, the band performed a live concert with an orchestra conducted

by Simon Dobson at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The concert marked the first time the band had performed with a live orchestra. It was recorded, and the live album, Live at the Royal Albert Hall, was released on 2 December 2016 through the crowdfunding platform PledgeMusic on CD, DVD, and vinyl, with all proceeds donated to Teenage Cancer Trust.[81] Following the show, Fish hinted at the possibility of doing a full tour with an orchestra, saying: “It seems almost a bit of a shame to go to all this effort for months and months for just one night.”

amo (2018-2019) In August 2018, cryptic posters appeared in major cities throughout the world with the message “do you wanna start a cult with me?”. The posters were attributed by major media outlets to the band only by their use of the hexagram logo previously used by the band. During this time the band themselves have not acknowledged their involvement with the campaign publicly. Each poster provided a unique phone number and a website address. The website provided a brief message titled “An Invitation To Salvation” and shows the date of 21 August 2018.

The phone lines placed fans on hold with lengthy, varied audio messages that changed frequently.

Some of these messages reportedly end with a distorted audio clip of what was assumed to be new music from the band.

Bring Me the Horizon at Rock am Ring in 2019 On 21 August, the band released the lead single “Mantra”. The following day the band announced their album Amo, released on 11 January 2019, along with a set of tour dates called The First Love World Tour.

Post H uman: Survival Horror (2020) On 20 March 2020, the band shared that they were in a home studio, writing and recording material for their eighth record, which is expected to be an EP, with part of it being co-produced by Mick Gordon. On 25 June, the band released the single “Parasite Eve” alongside an accompanying music video. On the same day, the band also announced a project that they have been working on titled Post Human, which they said to be four EPs released throughout the next year which when combined would make an album.On 2 September, the band released with English singer Yungblud a collaborative single titled “Obey” and its corresponding music video.On 14 October, the band officially announced through social media that Post Human: Survival Horror would be released on 30 October 2020. On 22 October, a week before the release date, the fourth single “Teardrops” was released alongside an accompanying music video.

In December 2020, Fish said that the band had been writing “on and off” and would be focusing on their next release in early 2021. He also updated the group’s release plan, saying that they “planned to do four EPs in a year, but [Post Human: Survival Horror] was almost an album, so I think the spacing will be a bit longer than intended, just because they’re probably going to turn out bigger than intended.”Upon being released on physical formats on 22 January 2021, Post Human: Survival Horror would chart again and reach a new peak to gift Bring Me the Horizon their second UK number one on the UK Albums Chart. Two years after Amo would be the first to reach this feat. The band collaborated with singer Olivia O’Brien on a track titled “No More Friends”. The song is from O’Brien’s Episodes: Season 1’ EP which was released on 11 June 2021.
