bring me the horizon

A popular UK Deathcore band from Sheffield, Yorkshire. The band lineup consists of Oliver Sykes (Vocals), Lee Malia and Curtis Ward (Guitars), Matt Keane (Bass) and Matt Nichols (Drums). Their 2005 demo "This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For" helped to popularize Extreme Metalcore and Deathcore in the UK. Metal publications have largely praised their technical ability; Metal Hammer magazine claimed that it had "more face-peeling riffs than most bands twice their age". The band has toured extensively, both as support acts and headliners, as well as playing renound UK rock festival Download.

However, as a band who have profited largely from mainstream and modern musical mediums and marketing techniques - the use of social networking sites, coverage from mainstream rock publications - and their contemporary teen look, they often come under fire from heavy metal purists who claim that they're a band liked by those who want to appear more metal than they really are (thus falling under the designation colliquially known as "scene kids"). Despite the band's best efforts, this image has stuck; indeed, their crowds are notorious for a by-and-large absence of moshing, often ignoring frontman Oli Sykes' encouragement to do so. Also, as they play a derivative of metalcore, they're associated with a very elitist sense of having "watered down" standard Death Metal.

1. "Bring me that horizon" first it was the last line in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl; An improv by Johnny Depp

2. A majorly popular band from the UK. They don't suck by the way, I happen to like them, and I'm not even "scene". I don't like them just because a scene kid said they were cool, I like them because I found them on myspace, and really liked their sound. So, if you're hating on BMTH, just shut the hell up and go listen to whatever music you like.

one of the most amazing bands that'll ever reach your ears,
a band given shitty reviews when they deserve better,
and a band labeled to the max by people who should've actually given time to listen to the cd.

an amazing band.

Bring Me The Horizon are fast looking like one of the best hopes for the country's underground - playing extreme metalcore that's tighter then the average schoolgirl they back it up with lashings of style; from their bohemian glamcore image to their intense and energetic live-shows they play the part of the effete fashioncore elite and back it up with the kind of music that conspires to turn your hair grey and your blood to ice.

an awesome band who has alot of fans that only like them for the lead singer oli sykes.

cunts, piss in each others mouths, and oli sykes has a tiny penis

a band so shitty that they have 4 pages worth of people yelling at you that they don't suck.
