Bring Me The Horizon Biography
Borrowing a quote from Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean,Bring Me The Horizon is not a fictional character, by any means. Different from your average run-of-the-mill death-core band, they formed their own record company in 2005, Thirty Days of Night, when they released their debut single.
Members of the Band Since Bring Me the Horizon formed in 2004, they lost Curtis Ward, the previous rhythm guitar player in March of 2009, but the rest of the musicians from Sheffield, Yorkshire still remain with the band. Lead vocalist is Oliver Sykes, lead guitarist is Lee Malia, bass guitarist is Matt Kean with Matt Nicholls still on drums.
Sykes faced common assault charges from a female fan, but the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence, even though Sykes always maintained the charges were fictitious. The band has had its share of publicity that could be viewed as negative in some circumstances.
When on tour with the Architects from Brighton, a metal core band, Sykes was again involved, but this time as a victim of Sam Carter from the Architects and his violent behavior. Bring Me the Horizon got a viral hit on YouTube, but it generated intense hate mail for Carter. The whole incident was deemed a boredom release by both bands that was revealed to be a staged stunt.
Record Releases:
Bring Me The Horizon merchandise sales are keeping up with the band’s three albums, based on early numbers. The history of the other albums includes:
The 2004 release of This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was For, topped the charts at number 41 in the UK with four tracks.
The 2006 release of Count Your Blessings, topped the charts at 93 in the UK with 11 songs.
The 2008 release of Suicide Season, included 10 tracks and bonuses of two music videos and desktop wallpapers that were downloadable.
Except for the first album, which was first released with the Thirty Days of Night label, all three were released under Visible Noise. And speaking of record labels and producers, the band is under contract with Visible Noise in the United Kingdom, the Epitaph Records in the U.S. and the Shock Records in Australia. It is expected that with such a wide range of coverage across three continents, the Bring Me the Horizon merch sales will also have a wider audience.
Type of Music:
The death-core movement is a blend of death metal and metal core and that best describes Bring Me the Horizon’s musical genre. Characterized by muted riffing and dissonance of metal core, along with growling and scream vocals, The Red Chord, Norma Jean and other American metal-core acts were their inspiration. They are different than other death core bands because of their characteristic immense vocals, massive riffs, shredding solos, erratic time signatures, blistering percussion and tempo changes.
To further cement its reputation, and maybe to increase the sales of the %LINK2%, the band has achieved awards like the Kerrang!’s Award for Best British Newcomer (2006) and nominated for Award for Best British Band (2008). Truly, with Bring Me the Horizon’s solid direction and songwriting focus, the band may yet join the halls of metal legends.
