A scene band described by many mainstream websites, magazines, and reviewers on other media as deathcore. However, they are nothing more than the latest lucky bunch to be picked for extensive coverage, while others of their breed wallow underground (relatively).
Frontman Oli Sykes has recently been in hot bother for allegedly urinating on a female fan after a recent gig. He's the main USP (unique selling point, a business term for the main attraction of a product) of the band, because their fans don't talk about anyone else. Plus, his vocals sound like either a) a cross between Bullet For My Valentine's Matt Tuck and Cradle Of Filth's Dani Filth, or b) a knock-off of Arch Enemy's Angela Gossow. Which, in either case, is bad.
The lyrics are, though not obvious at first, about relationships, thereby placing Bring Me The Horizon in the same league as Bullet For My Valentine and Funeral For A Friend. The band themselves have been tagged to the "emo" movement, and have been critised by professional critics for being predictable and untalented; conversely, they have been popular with stereotypical 14-year-old scene kids who wear size zero jeans and arm socks and flourishing myspace accounts.

You know in some indie music circles like NME where, out of say 25 bands, a random band like The Twang or The Enemy is picked for media exposure and mainstream grooming? Well, the rock magazines like Kerrang! have picked Bring Me The Horizon in a similar fashion, placing Oli Sykes and his Toni&Guy-brand hair on posters and stickers, and overhyping all their releases, whether visual or audio.
Various joke names associated with this lot include "Bring Me The Hairspray", "Bring Me The Hair Extensions" or my invention "Bring Me The Hyperbole", which is inspired by their overexposure to mainstream audiences.

A band from the UK that is overrated but plays an intense live show and act JUST LIKE ALL THE 80'S BANDS that everybody likes.
For example, uh, Nikki Sixx? Yeah. Was meeting with some manager label person whatever, and had sex with the guys girlfriend flat out on the table in front of him a few minutes after they'd met.
Does anybody give HIM shit?
Not that its right, but I mean, come the fuck on, stop trying to target a band for getting success because your shitty band hasn't made it past playing to your parents.
Even if half of them are stupid prats, BMTH has a solid, dedicated fan base and shitty bands just don't get that.
If they were sell-outs or a label-made band, the people that they're trying to fool (aka their current fans) are the first ones to know when shits fake and when they have sold out and criticize the fuck out of them.
Bring Me The Horizon have a solid, fantastic sound and you're just pissed because you couldn't ever do anything they have because you suck.
BMTH is a fucking fantastic band, and anybody who thinks otherwise is missing out.:)

Bring me the horizon.
Other wise known as Bring me the hair straighteners.
Are by far the worst band going.
Try hard scene kids "lovezzz" BMTH when they don't really.
They listen to bring me the horizon to look cool and fit in.
Oli Sykes the front man, wears more make-up than a drag queen.
He is a very stereotypical scene kid.
Too much make up, crap hair, tight clothes, and hes in a screamy "brutal" band.
He is also an arrogant fucker!
Most REAL scene kids, dont like BMTH cause they have sense.
The FAKE ones love BMTH. The boys want to be Oli and the girls want to sleep with him. (I wouldn't want to get his foundation on me)
Oli also owns drop dead clothing - I don't like that either.

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.

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.
