Bring Me The Horizon. A cringey band for eleven year old scene white girls who like complaining about their "terrible" middle class lives whilst on their Iphone7 in their mums suv going to their private school.
Most people think of them as either "emo" or "metal" or both while they are just a shitty pop band with guitars. Tbh I'm surprised their fanpage doesnt have a bunch of pedophiles.
A UK based hardcore band that makes brilliant music that is fresh and innovative, and are excellent live with thier energetic performances and are well known for thier good use of stage props such as fake blood ; but are impossible to like due to thier newly aquired fanbase of 14 year old annoying scene kids that dont even listen to the music but idolise the lead singer Oli Sykes.
Bring Me the Horizon. Metal publications have largely hated their technical ability; Metal Hammer magazine claimed that it had "more awful face-peeling riffs than every other band in the world". The band has toured extensively, only as support acts, as well as being kicked out of renound UK rock festival Download. What are my values? Who am I without the band, or writing music and making stuff?
What do I like to do? The pandemic-afforded downtime also meant that "a lot of [his] older problems came back," the BMTH singer continued. When I went to rehab [for substance abuse] eight years ago, I came out of it and I felt like I was healed. I kind of realized when everything stopped that I was so busy and things were going so well … that I was more distracted than healed.
But the past 18 or so months provided plenty of distraction-free time for rumination. And that's when the musician realized that he still had issues with self loathing, low self-esteem and more. I had a lot of shit like that, where I didn't like when people said my name. If you asked me to name the most hated album on metal blogs in , Count Your Blessings would probably be the first one to come to my mind. It got so bad that they were often pelted with garbage from the audience and had fights picked with them during live performances.
Count Your Blessings is an extremely tight, clean, and well-polished deathcore record. It might actually have my favorite drum sound of any Bring Me the Horizon album— really tightly-tuned and organic. However, this album is also pretty guilty of the background effect. The songs are definitely more tightly constructed than on This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For , but when every song sounds the same, how much of an improvement is that, really?
That tack would be copied by sexist deathcore bands for years to come, and it comes off the same way it does here: fucking insufferable. It quickly devolves into another generic melodeath song although with yet another strong breakdown , but the first half of this song is one of the brighter spots on the record. I feel like I should note that Sykes, despite being an excellent vocalist and an extremely charismatic frontman, never really improves as a lyricist.
Still, every album is another step up from the garden-variety misogyny of this album. I wish it had been worked into a longer song, but as an instrumental interlude, it helps to provide momentum and break up the constant onslaught of death metal theatrics. Not even another guitar solo can save this track from itself. By now it should be clear that this band can definitely play their asses off, even if the technical riffs and tight rhythms are in service of weaker, generic songs.
It makes me wonder what Bring Me the Horizon may have been like as an indie rock band. Meanwhile, the hatred from concertgoers and the mainstream press was reaching fever pitch, and rhythm guitarist Curtis Ward was beginning to slack on his duties, only contributing three riffs to the writing of this album.
Recruiting the acclaimed melodeath producer Fredrik Nordstorm to man the boards on this release was an excellent decision, as this record sounds absolutely incredible; chunky and melodic by turns when it needs to be, with a much more pronounced bass tone, this is probably one of the best- sounding Bring Me the Horizon albums especially when compared to the compressed and gross production job on what many consider to be their magnum opus, Sempiternal.
Not only have Bring Me the Horizon refined their ability to write songs around a strong central theme, each song has its own identity and extremely memorable moments. I refuse to close my eyes. This song also never stops developing new parts, exploring new sonic avenues without ever deviating from the central structure and ideas. But holy hell, this song goes hard, unfortunately. Damn shame. Suicide Season was pretty much an immediate hit, and the band could have easily stuck with this sound, too, and made lots of bank off it.
As much as I adore Suicide Season, I think that There Is A Hell takes a lot of what made that album work so well and amps it up to eleven, fine-tuning the process, getting slightly more experimental and nuanced in their compositions, and ultimately making a cohesive album that flows in a natural and logical order rather than just being a collection of songs.
