Bring Me The Horizon
The basics
Bring Me The Horizon is a British Metalcore band from Sheffield, Yorkshire. Bring Me The Horizon was originally formed in 2004. The band is still together to this day.
The group currently consists of lead vocalist Oliver Sykes, Lead guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, Drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fisher..
They are currently signed to RCA Records globally and Epitaph Records exclusively in the US.
While their earlier work is noted for a deathcore style, they started to adopt a more eclectic style of metalcore on their later releases.
Their latest singles marked a shift in sound to less aggressive rock.
They have released four studio albums and two extended plays.
Bring Me The Horizon released their debut album Count Your Blessings in 2006. Upon release, the album was met with great polarization among the public and critical disdain. The band started to break away from their controversial music with their album, Suicide Season, which was proved to be a creative, critical, and commercial turning point for the band.
Bring Me The Horizon then released their third album.
