The group was formed in 2004 from the ashes of several Sheffield-based outfits, with the 2003 Disney film Pirates of the Caribbean serving as the inspiration for the band's name. In 2020 the band issued Post Human: Survival Horror, the first installment of an ambitious four-part arc of EPs that they followed up in 2021 with DiE4u.
By 2019's Amo, they had incorporated elements of electronic and even hip-hop into their edgy, genre-blurring blend. With each release - from 2006's caustic Count Your Blessings to 2013's mainstream breakthrough Sempiternal - they dialed back the blood-curdling screams and injected more melody until capturing an alt-metal balance on their 2015 international chart-topping effort That's the Spirit. 2015’s loosely conceptual That’s the Spirit saw the group dropping some of their metalcore tendencies in lieu of a more melodic, alt-metal approach.English rock band Bring Me the Horizon have made a steady progression from their death metal-inspired grindcore debut to melodic metalcore, maturing into a pop-savvy headline act by the end of their first decade together. A fourth album, the critically lauded Sempiternal, arrived on Epitaph in 2013, and peaked at number three on the U.K. The resulting There Is a Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It, There Is a Heaven, Let’s Keep It a Secret was released during the latter half of 2010, several months after the band wrapped up its engagement with the Warped Tour. Weinhofen ended up staying with the band as a permanent member, and the group returned to the studio with producer Fredrik Nordström in March 2010 to begin work on a third album. His temporary replacement was Jona Weinhofen, formerly a member of I Killed the Prom Queen. Not everyone approved of the new sound, though, and Ward left the band in early 2009. With their second album, Suicide Season, Bring Me the Horizon moved in a more accessible direction and wound up cracking the U.K.
Bring Me the Horizon’s full-length debut, Count Your Blessings, appeared in October 2006, with an American release following one year later courtesy of Epitaph Records.
Upon signing to the higher-profile label Visible Noise (whose roster also included Bullet for My Valentine and Lostprophets), they reissued the EP to a wider audience. Singer Oliver Sykes, guitarists Lee Malia and Curtis Ward, bassist Matt Kean, and drummer Matt Nicholls initially established their own label, Thirty Days of Night, to release their debut EP, 2005’s This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For. The group was formed in 2004 from the ashes of several Sheffield-based outfits, with the 2003 Disney film Pirates of the Caribbean serving as the inspiration for the band’s name. Fronted by a tattooed clothing designer and influenced by death metal, grindcore, and emo, Bring Me the Horizon aren’t the average deathcore band.
