Bring Me The Horizon - in the dark (Official Video) 

idk y I’m commenting on this all these years later but I was talking to a friend about how I direct the videos for our band & this was the first one i ever did. It was 2 days after I relapsed and very emotional. On Forest’s first take i cried. As we were trying to write amo, I refused at first to write about anything to do with my marriage/divorce. It had been a few months & I was happy to be out of a relationship I realised was very toxic. So I felt like writing about it was very insincere as I believed I was in a good place. What I hadn’t realised is I hadn’t processed what had happened, I hadn’t dealt with the trauma of finding out the person you loved had chosen someone else over you. I hadn’t accepted my part, I hadn’t processed anything. I just ran. & because of this I couldn’t create real, honest, passionate music. I was stuck in a limbo. & my band could only stand and watch as I was trapped in this place. They knew I needed to process the events & write about them. This video is inspired by my journey to the realisation that feelings need to be felt. You can’t run away from trauma you can only work through it. Taking that idea this is a story set in a world in a very bleak situation. The ecosystem has collapsed, most of the planets creatures are extinct, and forest is a scientist that holds the key to salvation. But his refusal to process his grief has pretty much wiped his memory and left him empty. I always wanted the details to be interpreted by you guys but I do want to tell you one thing.. listen to the very end of the video… with headphones. I may do this for every video if anyone interacts hehe Love oli xx

His daughter is a big fan, he's a cool dad for doing this!

Doesn’t matter if Oli is screaming or singing he sounds great either way

Oliver's voice is so perfect, wether he is screaming or singing.

Don’t swear to god he never asked you.. I love that song

"Some wounds are never really healed, and they bleed at the slightest of words"

This just proves ollie doesnt need to scream he can kill it any way

man the expression Forest does when Oli sings 'but i'm looking on the brightside now" keeps me coming back to this song

The band has really changed since Forrest Whitaker started doing vocals.

breaks my heart to see this man cry

"I'm not looking for salvation, just a little faith in anyone and anything" Wow. Just cuts that little bit more deep..

I love when metal bands do some pop sounding songs, because a metal band actually knows music and how to play they're instruments, so the songs sound way better than actual pop

“I know I’m getting warm ‘cause I feel so cold” No matter how much their style has changed one thing that has been ever present is the amazing lyrics, killing it as always!

*CAN WE APPRECIATE THE FACT THEY GOT FORREST WHITAKER TO BE IN THIS*

I am a metal head but also a musician and i have mad respect for a band that can create their own sound. Its got the n u metal vibes and but to come from what they were to this. Its not selling out. Its not paying the bills. Its making what you are feeling. And that can move mountaintops.

Late to the party but I've just discovered how great this group is and their mv's are top notch!

"I'm not looking for salvation, just little faith in anyone or anything"

No matter wht their genre, they never dissapoint me

The part where Forest Whitaker just stands up sends shivers down my spine... Truly a masterpiece and of course Forest Whitaker is phenomenal like he always is in everything he does. Speaking of Mr. Whitaker if you haven't seen Ghost dog: way of the samurai then what are you doing go watch it now cause it's one of his all time best performances!..

I love every stage of BMTH as band, from Deathcore to Tecno - Pop.

Never EVER disrespect these guys as far as creativity goes. This is such a fantastic video.

"Looking on the bright side now" Forest depicts this so well with his slight melancholy smile.... it breaks my heart

I could listen to Suicide Season on constant repeat...but these guys have transcended so many musical boundaries and done well each time. They are extremely talented.

Unpopular Opinion: amo is one of their best albums because of its diversity

my heart breaks when I go through the comments and nobody mentions Forest Whitaker is in a bmth music video. 😢😢

don't swear to god, he never asked you Oh shit, i felt that

When you understand that this song is about Oli discovering his wife was cheating on him shortly after they got married it transcends itself from vapid criticisms of how BMTH "went pop." I think it's so perfect in all its beautiful pain how Olis reaction to something so tragic was not the anger and rage you'd find in their other songs. It's very real, sometimes something hurts so bad you don't even have the energy to be mad about it.

Did anyone else cry during this song? Forrest's expressions when the car crashed and his daughter died just hit me so hard I had to pause the video Great job, bmth. Been a fan since Sempiternal

This song just keeps sticking in my head, almost a year after the release of amo

When Forest smiles after lyrics such as "But I'm lookin' on the bright side now", does anybody else get hit with some hardcore emotion? The transition from such a miserable, somber etching on his face to one full of hope - it simultaneously warms my heart and breaks it. This video just - fuck, man.

Just discovered this fully a week ago and its been stuck in my head since. Happy one year in the dark, what a masterpiece ❤️❤️

Man this song made me cry . So poetic

looks like an episode of black mirror, this is so perfect 👽

Written, directed, and edited by Oli? This man never disappoints.

Can we appreciate the fact that bring me the horizon was being happy doing there own thing they will always be a great band

The emotions shown when he mouths "looking on the bright side now" makes me tear up every time

this song is like a breath of fresh air; I love their heavier stuff, but I have to admit, this might be my new favourite BMTH song

Britney: "Oops, I did it again" Bmth: "Oh, I've done it again"

From Chelsea Smile to in the dark... this has been an wonderful journey. I'm grateful to still be alive for these moments.

Been a BMTH fan for a long time, but man I really love the direction they've taken recently. They've always been relatable to me, but even more so now. Their lyrics are so on point with shit me and my family and friends have been experiencing since COVID and just in general. Keep up the amazing work guys!

Oliver's voice is so beautiful i can't get over it. I loved the old bmth but i also love the new bmth. You guys will never disappoint me. Please never stop making so many great things. Hope to see you live another time in Europe in my life ❤️🤘🏻

Shoutout to Forest Whitaker’s daughter for being a big fan of BMTH and make this happen 😂

This quickly turned into one of my favorite BMTH songs after a few listens, and it has a beautiful music video

Oliver is just killing it with his music as of late ive really been loving his stuff and his content the way he does videos and the clever lyrics hell use

Fun fact : The actor's daughter loves BMTH ; u

This band has been making music for more than 10 years and they're still making some good shit

kinda ashamed to say that this is the first time I'm watching the video but yk it's always been me listening to bmth whilst screaming having idfk wtf a mental breakdown panic attack everything is so intense always I wouldn't be surprised if it all happens together. Just wanted to say that I am better and bmth played a major, major part in helping me release the pain. I may sound ungrateful not mentioning linkin park but Oliver taught me how to scream and release all that's inside. I don't know if any of you are reading this but I just well ugh I'm just grateful and it feels like a lot explaining everything in detail

Forest Whitaker is genuinely a legend in acting. Love it and love this song!

Everyonre: Brexit .... BMTH: Let's bring the matrix back

I was about to say I miss Oliver being in the video when he poped up lol

How hard this song hits when you’ve been cheated on and broken down so many times... Nothing else I know describes how that feels so pristinely.

I’m a long time BMTH fan and have been listening to them from the very beginning since I was 14-15. It has been awesome to see the progression in their music through they years, and even though their style has changed substantially there is always something particular about their music that makes it so easy to recognize. Every song, even the more poppy ones always have that bmth feel that is hard to explain but is always there. That is the definition of staying true to yourself while allowing yourself to evolve no matter what the majority of the fan base says. I absolutely love it. Keep it up! Can’t wait for parasite eve!

That’s academy award winning actor Forest Whitaker. One of my favorite actors, along with one of my favorite bands, in the same music video that’s pure art and quality... 100% respect. Break the barriers.

Alot of people dont know that Forest is actually a big bmth fan

These guys are geniuses. Brilliant music in every way imaginable.

This is definitely one of the best songs off this album. I enjoy all of the BMTH albums.

Written, directed and edited by olver sykes... The man is a genius of an artist.

the amount of talent artists like oli possess is incredible yet they're constantly looked over because art isn't appreciated until it's validated by everyone around them. pretty sad, honestly.

This song should deserve at least 100 million views

A true fan accepts every form of music produced by a band. And holyshit this is gold. Rock on BMTH

"So don’t swear to god he never asked you It’s not his heart you drove a knife through not his world you turned inside out not his tears still rolling down "

Oct 21 is legendary Drown was released on Oct 21, 2014 Wonderful life on Oct 21, 2018 In the dark on Oct 21, 2019 National BMTH day - BMTH gang gang

Never ever get sick of this amazing music video!!.. Honestly it makes me think about when I finally get up the courage and visit my old hometown and go to my neighborhood where my childhood home resides. That little house scares me more than anything..

Bmth got me into heavy music at a young age when I heard pray for plagues and I love the heavy stuff but no matter how different each album is the attention that the band gives to creating music no matter the genre shift is amazing and they can’t miss. It’s still bmth but we all grow. I would love the death core again but I’m just glad it’s still bmth

My favorite song on the album. This is a masterpiece

I love the fact that forest is probably winning dad of the year. His daughters a huge fan. Talk about brownie points.

I got my unbrella tattoo on my hand. To me it signifies going through traumatic experiences and overcoming most of them. Forever BMTH. They literally saved my life. Thank you!

For everyone who’s asking what the Japanese “Arc” means, it’s simply the name of the lab doing tests as we see at 2:17 the camera/binoculars are labeled “Arc-Hive.” Seems like the video is portraying our memory’s and how we almost process them if you will

Forrest Whittaker and BMTH? *holy shit, this is epic*

Genial Bring Me The Horizon!! Los mejoresssss

Idk why everyone hates on this album, "amo" just mixes a lot of genres while still sounding like a BMTH album and everything from the production to vocals are just so good.

2 years ago, I lost my gf, my home, my savings, my car, my health, and was sexually assaulted, all in the span of 6 months. this song really hits me hard, but I love it, and I am looking forward to every moment in the rest of my life no matter the darkness that comes with it, theres always something to live for.

This was amazing considering it was oli's debut at directing

I haven’t really listened to their music since thats the spirit came out but really good and really interesting visuals. My eyes were glued to the screen from the beginning till the very end.

Everytime I come back to this it feels I'm unplugging myself from the madness and get centered, thank you bmth

Well damn, while this video and music is amazing i still can't stop thinking about the progress in making the props, proper lighting conditions and editing done to make this masterpiece. Give some appreciation here guys!

"Oh, I've done it again..." Yes bmth you've done it again♡

Honestly, it's probably the most underrated song of the year.

really love the lyrics the way he expresses his weakness is so brilliant

I love the smoothness and lyrics of BMTH songs . A lot stays on repeat..like this 1 among many.

Director: How much meaning do you need in music video? BMTH: Ok

I loved how Forest took the expression when the lyric "and I'm looking at the bright side now" came in

Ohhhh Bring Me The Horizon has helped me through some dark times 🖤 LOVEEE them

I’ve been a fan of Bring Me since the early days, I still listen to their early albums now. I’m also always sceptical of bands changing their sound, in the case of Bring Me, I’m just astounded. I have never stopped liking their sound, no matter what they produce. I can safely say, In The Dark was my most played song of the last two years, it is simply amazing like the entire album.

damn his acting is amazing, when he says looking on the bright side now, and he smiles suddenly, damn good

*video begins* me: holy shit this is so good i'm gonna die

noone s gona talk bout they got legendary forest whitaker fir their video? this dude won an oscar in 2007 🔥 so cool

I'll never let this song die. I hear it everyday since 2019. Hits even harder when I broke up at the same time Oli did 🤝

Yes, they've changed so much, but it doesn't mean they're not good anymore. Deep down they still having their original vibe, you can notice it from the lyrics. Amo is clearly not for everybody, it feels kinda personal, so if you like it or not it does not define its quality. *And, I'm so proud of the whole band for converting their thoughts into art, specially from Oli for the creativity behind this video*

And here I'm still waiting for Doomed MV

Fell out of touch with BMTH for the last few years, but started exploring their content again. Found this one almost immediately, and it perfectly describes a situation I just went through. The amazing thing is it didn't hurt listening to this. It actually felt very healing and freeing. Now I remember why I have always loved this group 💜

"I'm not looking for salvation, just a little faith in anyone or anything" is playing on a loop in my head.

Love Forest Whitaker since "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai", great choice for BMTH and I'm glad Mr. Whitaker accepted the offer!

I don’t if the band will see this comment, or anyone will read this comment, but this music video and song made me realize that recovery from grief is possible. In 2018 my ex boyfriend died from a car accident, he was only 23. Then in September my mom died from her drug addiction, then in November 2019 my sister’s dad who wanted to marry my mom when she was sober and paid for her to get recovery to get sober, died unexpectedly. I dropped out of college to help my grandma raise my ten and eleven year old siblings. Everyday I cry, but now I can start to look on the bright side. I just need a little faith.

I'm obsessed with BMTH's aesthetics and I adore this video, it has like an Resident Evil vibe in a way. And then the acting... so amazing

BMTH is right now killing it with each song they’ve been dropping for the last years. Change my mind.

I love every bmth song from count your blessings to amo

Been a fan of Count Your Blessings, and I still love them to this day!

His face is so enigmatic and in same time with so much expressions and emotions.

This song is so good still to this day its such an untouchable clssic
