| Biografi |
Formed in Sheffield in 2004, BRING ME THE HORIZON have gone from
hyped youngsters, winning the Kerrang Award for Best British Newcomers
in 2006, to one of the world’s most exciting and unique new bands,
currently bringing their individual brand of heavy music to sell out
crowds all over the world.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.
As predicted, the band began to pick up massive critical acclaim from
press and fans alike, and the cult of BMTH began, as they smashed into
the MySpace top 100 acts (them being the only UK act in the chart aside
from Coldplay!), recorded sessions for BBC Radio One and incited one of
the biggest moshpits of the weekend at Download festival, all while
still having an average age of around 18 years old.
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. To accompany the release, the band filmed an immensely
popular video for Pray For Plagues which currently has over 15 million
views on YouTube.
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. BMTH signed a licensing deal through Visible Noise with legendary label Epitaph for the release of their albums in the US in Sept 2008. The album received glittering reviews from the press on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond, catapulting the band into the Metallic stratosphere. The band played headline tours of Japan, Australia, Russia, Europe, the US and even Mexico, where they sold out the 3,500 capacity Jose Cuervo Salon performing what could well be one of the most intense shows ever witnessed. The band also filmed four videos for the aforementioned tracks from the Suicide Season album, along with ‘Diamonds Aren’t Forever’ and ‘The Comedown’, all of which now number millions upon millions of views on YouTube. In July 2009, Jona Weinhofen, previously of Bleeding Through, joined the band after the departure of Curtis Ward, with whom the band parted ways with earlier that year. 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. BMTH returned to the UK to play Sonisphere festival in August ’10 (alongside Iron Maiden, Iggy And The Stooges and Rammstein) where Metal Hammer noted that “Horizon don’t just steal the weekend, they put on a show that could very well be the festival performance of the Summer so far.” 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. At the recent 2011 Kerrang! Awards, BMTH won the award for ‘Best Album’ with “There Is a Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There Is a Heaven, Let’s Keep It a Secret”.Lihat Selengkapnya |

*Suicide Season and line-up change (2008–2009):
Bring Me the Horizon recorded their second studio album Suicide Season in Sweden with Fredrik Nordström. In promotion of the new material from Suicide Season the band embarked on their first headline tour of the United States, as well as appearing in the 2008 Warped Tour. In May 2008 Bring Me the Horizon was the main supporting band on I Killed The Prom Queen’s farewell tour in Australia with The Ghost Inside and The Red Shore as supports.[3] Although the tour was short and was only 9 days long it sold out rapidly.[4] On 18 September 2008 Suicide season was released in the United States on Epitaph and 29 September in Europe through Visible Noise, it was promoted using the tagline “September is Suicide Season”.[5]

In March 2009 during the Taste of Chaos tour, guitarist Curtis Ward left the band.[7] Australian guitarist Jona Weinhofen, formerly of Bleeding Through and I Killed The Prom Queen, temporarily replaced Curtis before being asked to join the group on a permanent basis.[8] A video of a staged fight between Oliver Sykes and Architects’ lead singer Sam Carter, filmed in October 2009 and uploaded to YouTube, caused some Bring Me the Horizon fans to send hate mail to Carter. Carter later made it clear in an interview with Kerrang! that the whole thing was a joke, as did Sykes.[9]
In November 2009 Bring Me the Horizon released a remixed version of Suicide Season, titled Suicide Season: Cut Up!. Musicians and producers featured on the album include Ben Weinman, Sonny Moore, L’Amour La Morgue, Utah Saints and Shawn Crahan.[10] That year Sykes guested on the Admiral’s Arms song “Dawn of the New Age”, which appeared on the EP “Stories Are Told”, released in November 2009.
