+Pat Edge parkway drive should have picked him up imo. Ollies voice is fucked and gone, how long until Winston's voice is blown out also? would be nice to share heavy vocals with someone...
Despite all the hate and scrutiny it got back then with how ''Oli can't do vocals'' and all that. It's still great that there are new blood in the family regardless of anything
Kinda different for people. Some scream best (usually better aproach) when they're calm and relaxed in their body. Some go all out with emotion to scream and do amazing. But technique is key, and Oli sounds good but wrecked his voice almost.
oli can't scream like before...but he s still good and push his self in every song of the new album...so much screeming for you,i miss the old stuff too, but he become older and stronger...we have to respect him..and when we miss the old him we can lisent this like old stuff,it's nostalgic but oli left back great songs for us
HIHisLife To be honest I loved the energy and violence of this album. Definitely one of my favourites albums to headbang to, especially this song. But the reason why I still prefer Sempiternal over it is really cause of the new method of screaming Oli uses. The live performances are waaaaaay better now than they were before, they really improved on that. Surely for some (most people actually), the new screams are not as powerful as the one on this album but just look at this performance, he looks out of breath even though he's not running/jumping and unless you know the lyrics you can't really tell what he is saying. Check out the new live performances, his screams got maybe less powerful but more "clear" if I can say so.
okay, okay, I like the old bmth better too BUT they are getting older, they are growing up and are choosing for a different style of music. I will support them in that.
This is now 10 years old. My God how time flies. Every time I listen emo tracks from mid to late 2000s, It feels like I entered in time chamber and I'm again in high school. Can someone stop time please?
Hope they can do something like that still. Sempiternal is my favourite one, but There Is A Hell is such a classic and I would be proud if they play more songs from it.
2010 was a good year for bmth really. Oli looks hot as sh*t , the sound was not soft and not too hard, olis voice wasn't too shitty to sing/scream live ,jona makes good work at the guitar and they were popular but not too much like now. And now 4-5 years later they sound like all the others and he sounds not the same because of his f*cked up voice. Drown sounds like Linkin Park with a little bit of Asking Alexandria and Enter shikari.. What happened ? :(
Lisa Sch Drown dont sound linkin park.Drown sounds like a normal teen rock band song.Throne sounds like Linkin park.But Throne wasnt as you wrote this comment.
Lisa Sch But Sempiternal was to really good i think it was different but it was good it had some soft screams and it had some singing into it and it wasnt so soft.But for me There is a hell is the best album they´ve made.
FlameZ I have the same opinion yet haha. Throne really sounds more like Linkin Park seriously. And yeah there is a hell was a good mix for me too. There was everything singalongs and shouts/screams it was good. I wish they didn't switched the genre or whatever they changed. Yeah they grow up and there music too. It's okay that new fans don't like the old stuff. But it's okay too that old fans like me don't like it at all.. it's my opinion and that's totally fine right ? :)
Damn I've grown up since then huh. It's been 8 years since I listened to this. Haha, I'm a fully functioning adult now. I found happiness. I wish I could tell my teen self that. My heart goes out to all of whom BMTHs lyrics couldn't save.
he can still .. he just can't sing, and their new stuff has a lot of singing mixed with screams so .. it's hard for him but he can still perform .. a preformance is based on the energy + the show they give not only the sound of his voice ... look at asking alexandria .. Danny is always struggling live but they still give AWESOME shows
Gotta say they did pull off an amazing gig on an overall great night in Finland three years back. They had Sam Carter from Architects singing most of the clean vocals, as they were one of the supporting acts. Even Oli managed to belt out some great vocals while bouncing around.
Crucify me And nail my hands to a wooden cross There is nothing above, there is nothing below Heaven and Hell lives in all of us And I'll be cast astray I am an ocean, I am the sea There is a world inside of me Lost in the abyss, drowned in the deep No set of rules could salvage me Only a shipwreck, only a ghost Merely a graveyard of your former self We just watch the waves crash over We all get cast astray There is a Hell, believe me I've seen it There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret No one needs to know There is a Hell, believe me I've seen it There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret No one needs to know I am an ocean, I am the sea There is a world inside of me Lost in the abyss, drowned in the deep No set of rules could salvage me Save yourself, save your breath The tide's too strong, you'll catch your death So breathe for me, just breathe There is a Hell, believe me I've seen it There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret There is a Hell, believe me I've seen it There is a Hell, believe me I've seen it There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret There is a Hell, believe me I've seen it Oh, if we make it through the night If we make it out alive Lord have mercy and pray for the dead Are you saying that you can save me? Don't hope to ever find me And I fear I'm too far gone Pray for the dead Oh, if we make it through the night If we make it out alive Lord have mercy and pray for the dead Are you saying that you can save me? Don't hope to ever find me And I fear I'm too far gone Pray for the dead Pray for the dead Pray for the dead Pray for the dead Yeah Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your full undivided attention? There's something you all really need to know There is a Hell, believe me I've seen it There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret There is a Hell, believe me I've seen it There is a Hell, believe me I've seen it There is a Heaven, let's keep it a secret There is a Hell, believe me I've seen it Oh, if we make it through the night If we make it out alive Are you saying that you can save me?

aha jens from meshuggah has been using the same screaming technique as oliver, and he's been at it since the early nineties. pretty boy needs to man up and do his job, not get a break.
+Pasztet z morsa they're both talented at their own instruments, comparing a guitarist to a pianist is near impossible. i play both and it is very different.
I’d do anything to go back. I was actually alive, instead of just living…and there was actually still hope for the future. Now we live in a post apocalypse…counting our days. At least we have our memories.
I miss this version of BMTH so damn much 😢 no matter how hard I’ve tried for the last 8+ years, I just can’t vibe with the pop/radio rock stuff that they’ve been churning out since That’s the Spirit
well i havent listened to bmth in a year :D last 2 days i started to listen to them a bit :D its been months good old shit anywhom i got to meet them flew to belgium for a concert ( i live in spain) and matt the bassist and malia i talked to them for a few minutes since every1 was just interested in oli and jona seemed like a dick i didnt like the rat scum of a person ;D the other matt the drummer was also really nice and smiled but jona was just what the british would call a "wanker" :D fuck him he deserves to leave fucking rat ;D but yea both matt's + lee and oli where really friendly i remember like it was yesterday january 11th or so 2011 :D fuck time flies its been 3 years now i 20 :P nearly 21 my dick has saddened well atleast i got ripped ;D fuck it
Jona hates them, they dispute to this day writing credits on Sempiternal. Jona claims he helped to write several riffs or melodies on that album, Oli and the rest of the band say he had no part whatsoever
Everyone that wants the old BMTH back. They don't want to do this kind of music anymore, they grew up, and that's fine, bc that's life. They're much older now, and they're doing what they want to do. It's just to accept what they are now, they are in fact amazing. No, it's not so heavy anymore, but the lyrics are perfect, the songs have meaning and that is for me the most important thing. And Oli seems so happy now, with Hannah and everything. That's more important than anything else. Why complain about it?
