BRING ME THE HORIZON

Formed in Sheffield in 2004, BRING ME THE HORIZON have gone from hyped youngsters, winning the Kerrang Award for Best British Newcomers, to one of the UK's most exciting and unique new bands, currently bringing their individual brand of heavy music to sellout crowds all over the world. Refusing to be pinned down to any one genre, the band effortlessly switch between party music to dance all night to and apocalyptically brutal soundscapes, and even recently delved into electronic music, getting their Suicide Season album remixed by members of Slipknot, Utah Saints and Lostprophets.

In 2005, the band released their brutal debut mini album This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For through Thirty Days Of Night records. The band’s clear potential caught the eye of Visible Noise (who re-released the mini album later that year), the UK independent label responsible for unearthing and breaking of the UK’s biggest rock acts, including Lostprophets and Bullet For My Valentine. October 2006 saw the release of the band’s debut album Count Your Blessings through Visible Noise. A newfound maturity in terms of songwriting and structure was to be found in the songs as well as production from Dan Sprigg (Lostprophets, Cradle of Filth). However, the album still contained the band’s trademark heaviness - blistering percussion, shredding solos, erratic time signatures and terrifyingly brutal vocals. Throughout 2007 and 2008, the band continued to tour heavily, and released Count Your Blessings in the US (2008). The band began to play their intense live shows internationally, including touring with Megadeth in Australia, flying out twice to Russia, an extensive and sold out UK tour, European festivals and most importantly a much deserved slot on the Vans Warped Tour in Summer ’08, where they quickly established themselves as THE band on the tour, melting the faces of fans, bands and critics alike with their incendiary live performances.

BMTH headed to the isolated Studio Fredman, Sweden in April 2008 – in the frozen and inhospitable wilderness miles outside the civilisation of Gothenburg, to record with acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordstrom (Dimmu Borgir, At The Gates). Leaving with an album yet another massive step up from their previous work, Suicide Season was spawned, featuring anthems such as ‘Chelsea Smile’ and ‘The Sadness Will Never End’. Suicide Season also saw the beginning of the band’s forays into incorporating programming and electronica into their music, perhaps one of the biggest surprises to the press and fans, yet one for which they have been almost universally applauded for. After randomly hearing a mutual friend’s electro remix of one of their songs, the idea dawned to get the entire Suicide Season album remixed, which resulted in the reissue of the album, entitled Suicide Season: Cut Up, released in the UK Nov 2009 and in the US April 2010. The release featured remixes from the likes of Utah Saints, Slipknot, Gym Class Heroes and Dillinger Escape Plan, and reflected the band’s broad influences from outside the Metal world, including Dubstep, Electro, Drum and Bass and Hip Hop.

In Summer 2010 the band returned to the US to play the main stage on the Vans Warped Tour, taking the band through almost every state in the country. Their second Warped Tour appearances drew the tour’s largest crowds, day in, day out - as fellow bands, fans and the press once more struggled to catch a glimpse of one of the world’s most exciting live bands. October 2010 saw the release of the band’s massively anticipated third album There Is A Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There Is A Heaven, Let’s Keep It A secret, which was released through Visible Noise in the UK & Europe and again licensed to Sony (Japan), Epitaph (US) and Shock (Aus). BRING ME THE HORIZON are on tour the US, UK, Australia and Japan throughout 2011 and played their biggest shows to date in December 2010, supporting Bullet For My Valentine on the Fever arena tour, including the legendary Wembley Arena.
