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.

A great band that's often misunderstood. Okay, it's obvious & very easy to see that there IS a huge fan base of Oli groupies. And yes, it does get annoying and pathetic. However, you can't hate on a band just because of some of their fans? They don't get enough credit for their talents because screaming groupies distract from their music. Now if you set the girls aside and take the time to actually listen to their music, you'll be able to understand why their TRUE fans love them as much as they do.
BMTH has a rawness that a lot of these newer main-stream bands don't. They're uncensored and speak their minds. You have to admit, it's pretty admirable to not give a fuck what the music industry wants to mold you into. They're unique. And that's hard to come across these days. So haters need to re-evaluate their opinions.
Bring Me the Horizon is the shit.
Oh and they're wicked sick live!

Discography
-This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For EP
-Count Your Blessings
-Suicide Season
-Suicide Season Cut Up
The band consists of:
Oliver Sykes - Vocals
Lee Malia - Guitar
Matt Kean - Bass
Matt Nicholls - Drums
Jona Weinhofen - Guitar
Ex-members: Curtis Ward (guitar)
IMO, BMTH are a band that have progressed with time, and are now pretty good, that is if half the population who have heard the name tried listening to their actual songs and didn't troll or argue that they're shit. You're allowed your opinion, fine, but at least support it.
Pathetic little people such as scene girls need to confess their "love" for the band (primarily Oli), just so they can say it's true. Most of that fucking crowd don't like the band for their music, just their vocalist, which is shame.

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.

A deathcore band from Sheffield, UK. The band members are Oliver Sykes (Vocals), Lee Malia (Guitar), Curtis Ward (Guitar), Matt Nichols (Drums), Matt Kean (Bass). Their lyrics are amazing (So is their sound) and it's tragic how their "biggest fans" can't even sing a long to their songs. They get shitty reviews and deserve better ones, If you actually listen to their songs properly and their awesome riffs (Especially on the song Black & Blue) then you'll probably realise they're not as crap as people make out.
Girl: Whoa dude have you heard Bring Me The Horizon's new album, Suicide Season?
Boy: Fuck yes, It's their best album yet, If I could only listen to one album for a year, It would totally be Suicide Season.
Nearby listener: FUCK NO. Bring Me The Horizon are just a bunch of pussy ass scene kids, They give metal a bad name with their floppy hair and shit screams.
Boy && Girl: Actually listen to a song properly, Yeah? -Plays 'Black & Blue'-
Nearby listener: Dude, This is actually a sweet song. I'm going to check out their other songs.
