DO YOU LIKE BRING ME THE HORIZON?

 Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 at 4:45pm by

MetalSucks Maniac Ray Pecheone e-mailed me today, imploring me to check out Bring Me the Horizon’s new video for “The Comedown.” I dig that these dudes don’t take themselves too seriously (and that they like The Predator), but I’m not too into the music.

Thoughts, anyone?

    Ahh man they suck..

    They got booed off at killswitch Engage show at Brixton, London….
    Unsurprisingly too.. they were pretty shit..

  • http://www.myspace.com/jay234t Jason

    They try too hard.

  • CrapMcPoopin

    They’re uninspired noise, but have funny titles for songs such as “For Stevie Wonder’s Eyes Only” and “Tell Slater Not to Wash His Dick”

  • cink

    Yea i saw these guys at the Killswitch show and they sucked. So does their music. This is the definition of fashioncore.

  • http://www.last.fm/user/cooperaa Aaron

    Wow, not the reaction I was expecting… er wait, I was thinking Between the Buried and Me. Either way, I’m not a fan of either group.

  • RayRay

    If you guys are not sold…check out “pray for plagues”. It is their best song I think and the video is trippy and fucking crazy. Fuck it ill vouch for them if noone else will!

  • bob fossil

    Good video, but they are still fuckin fashioncore shite-they’re from fuckin’ leeds but if you hear that eejit of a lead singer onstage he talks with that bullshit mid-atlantic twang like their fellow kerrapp posterboys lostprophets! FUCK ‘EM!

  • banter

    you shouldn’t have posted this

  • Alex Haskett

    just anorther crappy band that all the scene kids seem to love.

    and all the girls like the frontman (if you can even call him a man) even tho he reportedly tried to have sex with some female fan and when she said no he knocker her round the head with a bottle and pissed on her. tho nothing happened with that because there was no witnesses apart from the girl herself or something…

    but yeah they suck, yet another band that needs to just bugger off and die

  • http://hotmail j-rock

    the predator would have none of this

  • Joe

    The vocalist pees on his fans, therefore makes him more hardcore then most of the shitty bands the ^ people are listening too.

    Also, they don’t take themselves seriously, which makes them better than the shitty bands other people are listening too.

    FUCK DRAGONFORCE

  • linh

    i love bring me the horizon. they’re one of my favorite bands, but it’s still undecided whether i like this or not.

  • Chris

    BMTH are just a gay fashioncore band, too many scene kids love them cause of their hair

  • All Out War

    Thorougly enjoy them. Why they were opening for Killswitch is another story. Oliver pissed on a girl, how metal is that? I don’t condone beating her w/ a bottle, but a golden shower never hurt anyone.

  • Fritz!

    If pissing on a girl is so metal, R. Kelly must be the new Lemmy!

  • PD

    I think this is their attempt at sounding more like Bury Your Dead. Generic, generic, generic.

    I *was* able to tolerate their first album the first 10-20 or so times I listened to it, but after that it just got so repetitive.

  • Hot Carl

    BMTH is at best average. Their first album has some solid tracks but this one is a little blah to me. I saw them live at Warped this summer and they are just plain not good live.

  • RaZZo

    Y’know yer in trouble when the coolest thing in yer “brutal” bands video is a mini-chewbacca

  • Chris

    Bring Me The Horizon is REALLY over rated, and there previous album “Count Your Blessings” seemed like they were going for the black dahlia/death metal sound at first, but hearing there new stuff on the vid-it seems there going typical metal/hardcore….I think one band from the uk that isn’t getting enough recognition would DEFF have to be ARCHITECTS http://www.myspace.com/architectsuk

  • TITAN

    I agree with the guy that said “Fuck Dragonforce”.

    But this band sucks dick too.

    Does anyone around here know who the fuck Death or Obituary is?

  • gamma sperm

    im liking this new song but im still on the fence

    on one hand they’re fashioncore retards (check interviews) but the fact that they have moved away from the stale deathcore stuff is a positive.

    However having his own (metrosexual) clothing line leads me to think they are in it for the scene points and moola

    CA CHING!

  • http://myspace.com/biosyn teaches of peaches

    Bring Me The Horizon and most of their peers are more derivative than FOX Kids cartoons.

  • Kye

    I hate about 95% of all deathcore, yet I love Bring Me the Horizon

    But, I don’t really like this new song. I still have hope for the album though. Mainly because I’m interested to hear their new sound and “Diamonds Aren’t Forever” sounds badass.

  • Joe

    Don’t let that Joe speak for all Joes. We don’t all think Bring Me the Horizon is very good. And the fact that these failures got to record at Studio Fredman and were produced by Fredrik Nordstrom is even worse.

  • Dr. Satan

    I don’t really like the music, but they had one of the craziest pits i’ve been in in a long time when I saw them at warped.

  • Blackthorned

    Bloody awful racket.

  • Jenna

    Goddamn scene losers. I can’t dress up as Nikki Sixx for Halloween now, because everybody around here will go “OMG. AUHSUM SCENE HAIR! HOW DID U DO TAT?”

    You know those ant traps you put on the floor, and then ants crawl in them and die?
    …
    Frankly ants > deathcore bands. ‘Nuff said.

  • Gabexmosh

    Band’s image sensibilities and pissing incidents aside, I tried listening to this with an open mind, but it still led to no inappropriate erections. Yawn.

  • jonowev

    Seen them live before now. They’re really not great. Loads of people over here in the UK seems to love them. =/

  • e1sek

    BMTH’s first album is one of my guilty pleasures so knowing that they were coming out with a new album I was a little excited but after hearing this track it seems they fell for the generic boring metalcore/hardcore sound and that’s a major disappointment. Their video was however enjoyable.

  • Scott

    Putting aside the fact that their frontman Oli Sykes attracts teenage scene girls like deer to a hunter doused in musk, and probably fucks the hell out of them
    (hopefully that’s where the hunters draw the line, but ya know, some fuckers like that shit), he’s got fuckin stage presence. I saw them at Warped because I figured I’d have other chances to see The Devil Wears Prada since they’re from this country, and they had the same set times on different stages, and I was taken aback by how commanding they are. The guitars kicked in and Oli jumped off the drum kit and screamed “Get the fuck up”, and they were just intense as I imagine Hell itself. The pit was fucking huge and they hadn’t even started.
    My point being they can put on a fuckin show, and regardless of whether or not you like the music, you gotta give them props for that.

  • hegster

    despite their effortless scene status, and notorious reputation as one of the most hated bands in the metal world, i really liked this band’s last album. it had some okay songs, and some pretty damn kickass songs. i don’t like this new one that much, but the video was pretty cool.

    songs to check out if you haven’t heard them:

    pray for plauges
    for stevie wonder’s eyes only
    I used to make out with medusa

    it’s immature, its trashy, its scenecore and i like it :)

  • http://www.reigninblog.de Razze

    I wouldn’t call them deathcore.
    The first album was solid in my opinion. (if you see the album in it’s whole)
    However their fans are pretty fucked up…and never ever see’em live…worst live band ever, especially sound wise.
    The Video is relly good I think, another musicvideo that’s not a performance video and works perfectly

  • Murmaider333

    If Pickles the drummer peed on a person then would it be metal I think it’s metal either way cause have any of you seen the brutal midget in R. Kelly’s Trapped In The Closet

  • dthrasher

    “and all the girls like the frontman (if you can even call him a man) even tho he reportedly tried to have sex with some female fan and when she said no he knocker her round the head with a bottle and pissed on her. tho nothing happened with that because there was no witnesses apart from the girl herself or something…”

    that sounds like extremely reliable information you’ve got there. if it is true though that is pretty badass.

  • Factor

    You are one ugly mutherfucker!

  • http://www.myspace.com/xxvictim Abe saucedo

    dude these ys are fucking beast as shit…one of the best bands out their so far …kilswitch is good but these guys top them…..
    for the people below me don’t know good screamo music if it bit them on the twat …so fuck u people bmth is the shit

  • Boognish89

    “Does anyone around here know who the fuck Death or Obituary is?”

    Yes, you sir know real metal. BMTH should be shot.

  • Pete

    Count your blessings is decent.
    Suicide season is fucking horrible.
    Just because little scenes get off to oli doesnt mean there shit

  • bmth_are_crap

    Death and Obituary are sick, and fuck BMTH they’re appauling. Architects, Sylosis and Sikth for the win. Not this fake bullshit bring me the hairspray shit.

  • emily

    “Yes, you sir know real metal. BMTH should be shot.”

    Omgg no way. bmth are the best band ever [apart from escape the fate] if oli dies i wil cry. =[ and it is not shity scene-core music. its great. and i love there new album. if they were so shiit why do aload of people love him?? i mean, who has ever heard of obituarty?
    not many cuz there shit.

    i love bmth x

    • Bob

      Haha you say Obituary are shit, yet you are implying that you have never heard them. if you prefer Bring Me The Hairspray more than Obituary, then maybe you should be re-educated about actual metal. The reason a load of people love this pathetic excuse for a band is because there is a shit tonne of scene bitches that get wet over guy-girls who have the same product-infused hairstyles and semi-androgynous look as themselves.

      Peace.

    Dude, Bring Me The Horizon is the coolest thing since Heelys

  • AidenBMTH

    people say they go for a generic and predictable style but i dont know another band that has bmth’s sound about them at all.
    yeah oli’s hot.
    so what.
    doesnt make the music any better or worse.
    bmth dick on any other metal, metalcore, deathcore, whatever band you could come up with.

    they are a-fucking-mazing

  • awes0meo.O

    imo bring me the horizon plays some pretty badass deathcore, and if you like metal or so doesn’t mean you would possibly like this 2, it’s totally different it has to be your taste and i love their titles for their songs.
    And people here are talking about bmth if they are the next tokio hotel cuz people only like their haircuts well oli doesn’t look like a bit for bill, thank god for that cuz i really want to shave bill bald.
    But i think still loads of people aggree with me they make sweet clips and awesome music it’s just got to be your style.

  • John

    Bring me the horizon suck.
    The lead singer can’t scream for shit.
    The guitars are all sloppy.
    From what I heard they don’t even do music from the heart.
    They just do it for money.
    They’re just a bunch of emo boys.
    And that’s why the scene kids, emo kids love them.
    I hope they go away forever, they’re killing metal, ’cause they claim they are metal.

  • http://digitalxrefugee@gmail.com antonio

    Wow. I hate how many metal fans buy into this “don’t like them because they are popular” thing. I think all you people are more worried about hair and clothes than you are about music… hell you are probably more worried about those things then any scene kid I have ever met.

    I, personally, like this band. I don’t think the fact that good looking girls with tattoos, sexy hair, tight jeans, attitude problems, and a general penchant for dirty sex, being a large part of their fan base is a bad thing.

    So eat a fucking dick you fat acne faced “metal” fags. Real metal fans care about the music, the atmosphere, and fucking shit up at shows.

    Not judging people on their clothes & hair, wearing a predetermined uniform, and telling people they aren’t part of your scene by inventing a million tiered sub genres so you can say you’re “metal, not scene core.”

    ITS ALL THE FUCKING SAME

    P.s. this video is shit. but yeah, I like BMTH.

  • Slayerific

    yeah antonio you’re cool, post 3 months after the last comment. fag

    your post is shit anyway. the people that go to shows are part of the atmosphere, almost as big a part of the music. do you see any scene kids at shows that are really fuckin amazing? fuck no

    I’ve been listening to their new album the last few days and I like it. It’s clearly not the best. Musically speaking we are talking something on par with Hatebreed which isn’t saying all that much but like that act they have considerable energy that for me went a long way.

    What exactly makes them fashioncore? Long hair tattoes and piercings?

    No these guys have a definite nostalgic high school vibe and I give them credit for making that stomachable for someone like me who ordinarily cannot stand that.

  • http://facebook.com quinten

    man, these guys suck.

    Death and Obituary kick ass!

  • GIF

    Today’s “hardcore” bands can’t hold a candle to the old school pioneers. 80′s hardcore bands like Gauze, Intense Degree, Sheer fucking Terror, Siege, Heresy, Dropdead, and Doom… now that shit is where it’s at!

    Fuck Hatebreed.
    Fuck Napalm Death.
    Fuck the scene.
    Quit killing hardcore!
