Bring Me The Horizon

The bands name is from the movie Pirates Of The Carribean. Captain Jack Sparrow says ' Bring me that horizon'. The band replaced 'that' with 'the'. Like most metal bands this one started off amazingly well and just got worse. In 2005 the band released and EP with four songs on it which were all very good. The following year Bring Me The Horizon dropped an amazing follow up album called "Count Your Blessings". The album was pretty heavy with some sweet vocals. It also contains my all time favorite song by them , being "Pray For Plagues". After that the band totally went down. Their next album release was in 2008, the album titled "Suicide Season" just couldn't compare to "Count Your Blessings". Lead singer Oliver Sykes had basically lost his screaming voice because of improper screaming technique and because of drugs and alcohol. So his singing became more just him just yelling and every once in a while he uses his screaming voice. The album wasn't totally terrible their were a couple decent songs such as "Diamonds Arn't Forever", "Football Season Is Over" and "Chelsea Smile". Next came Suicide Season Cut Up which is basically every song off of Suicide Season made into a sort of techno song. I didn't like anything on that album. With the newest album just coming out less then a month ago I tried listening to a couple different songs, nothing really amazing just about two or three alright songs. Overall this band had some talent but they just lost it after their first CD. They went to mainstream and lost what made them a great band and instead became the poster boy band for deathcore genre. They pretty much sold out for the money.
