A shity UK Deathcore band from Sheffield, Yorkshire. The band lineup consists of Oliver Sykes (The shity Vocals), Lee Malia and Curtis Ward (who sucks at Guitars), Matt Keane (an awful Bassist) and Matt Nichols (Drums, don't even talk about him). Their 2005 demo "This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For" helped to destroy Extreme Metalcore and Deathcore in the UK. 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.
However, as a band who only profit from mainstream and modern musical mediums and marketing techniques - the use of social networking sites, coverage from mainstream rock publications - and their stupid teen look, they come under fire from real heavy metal fans who know that they're a band liked by those who want to appear more metal than they really are (known as "scene kids"). Despite the band's best efforts, this image has stuck; indeed, their crowds are notorious for a large absence of moshing, often ignoring frontman Oli Sykes begging them to do so. Also, as they play a derivative of metalcore, they have a very elitist sense of having "watered down" or boring version of standard Death Metal.

One of the best metalcore bands ever. Many girls only like this band because of the lead singer/screamer Oliver (Oli) Scott Sykes. It has been quoted by Oli that he doesn't like how so many of his 'Fans' listen to BMTH only because of his good looks. Bring Me The Horizon is amazing live, and worth the price of the ticket. They have three albums out, which are Suicide Season, Count Your Blessings, This is What the Edge of your Seat was Made For. BMTH is a British band from Sheffield, England. Oliver Sykes has a clothing line out called Drop Dead.
Bring Me The Horizon consists of
Oliver Sykes-Vocals
Lee Malia-Guitar
Jona Weinhofen-Guitar
Matt Kean-Bass
Matt Nicholls-Drums

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.
11yearoldgirlnobodylikes: Rawr XD I like emo metal like BVB Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, Pierce The Veil, TØP, and Jimmy Eats World
Me: None of those bands are metal and the only emo band you listed was Jimmy EAT world not EATS
11yearoldgirlnobodylikes:nah your just jelly because im so scene rawr
Me: *Places gun to head and shoots

A Deathcore quintet from Sheifield England.The band has released a EP and two Studio Albums.Curtis Ward(Rhythm guitarist) left in 2009 and was replaced by IKTPQ's Jonah Weinhofan(weinhofan what is he a fucking nazi?)anyways I got into them through Count Your Blessings their first studio album,i thought it was great,then i got Suicide Season not so great it was ok but eh.Saw them live in march 09 where they put on a good show but it was clear that The lead singer oli sykes was using studio magic for his vocals on the record I still like this band but i have lost alot of respect for them and their nazi guitarist.Also 99.9.9.9 % of their fans are scene girls that stand around at their shows,and would cry listining to bands like Cannibal Corpse,Nile,or Death.

A critically-acclaimed, and one of the greatest deathcore/hardcore bands to walk the earth. Bastardized a hell of a lot by toughy "death metalheads" who are actually insecure pussies who despise scene kid styles/attire so they decide to hate on really good bands such as bring me the horizon. in all honesty anyone who's a metalhead who hates this band is just a poser who stands by "death metal" because he is a poser.
BMTH fan: Hey bro do you like Bring Me The Horizon
death metal pussy: NO HIS HAIR IS TOO COOL AND HIS JEANS ARE TOO TIGHT AND THEY HAVE TOO MANY BREAKDOWNS TO BE GOOD!
BMTH fan: fuck this, (pulls out a crowbar bashes other dudes head in)

A completely shit deathcore band from Britain, who're only famous because their vocalist has scene kid hair. The only person who even remotely has talent is the drummer, who remains unnamed because Oli is a drunk attention whore. Anyone who listens to them should be burned at the stake, along with the mothers of noob tubers and noob tubers.
Person 1: *Having discussion about metal*
So, what bands do you like?
Person 2: I like bands like Cannibal Corpse, Death, Obscura, you know, bands like that
Scene kid: LOL GUIZE HAVE U EVAR HURD OF BMTH? THEY'RE NAME IS BRING ME THE HORIZON BUT I CALL THEM BMTH BCUZ I KNOW EVRYTHNG LOL THEY'RE SO UNDERGROUND NO ONE HAS HURD OF THEM OLI IS SOOOO HAWT
Person 1 and 2 in unison: GTFO niggerfaggot scene kid anyone with a brain knows Bring me the Horizon is complete shit, and Oli is an attention whore, being the only reason they're famous.
