BRING ME THE HORIZON : The Myspace Deathcore Early Days 

Count Your Blessings is still one of the best deathcore albums ever

BMTH will always be one of my favorite bands of time as they were able to create sooo many different types of songs including raw Deathcore, Metalcore and even Pop. I genuinely think Oli Sykes is a legend and I am looking forward to seeing their progression as a band in the future.

Idc what anyone says, Count Your Blessings is a masterpiece to me within the whole Warped Tour scene and style of music.

There's something to be said about the raw aggression of old school deathcore. Feels more authentic than the overproduced deathcore many bands produce these days

I remember when bmth opened with diamonds aren't forever at warped tour 09ish maybe 2010. A moment you will never forget.

Really takes me back. Seeing their MySpace page again brought back some memories. I remember watching the Pray for Plagues video over and over again when I first heard it. They were the kings of the scene for sure.

the Bristol acoustic set on the container will always be iconic. was insane

The first two releases from this band deserve more praise in the deathcore community. Also I think it's crazy how Oliver Sykes is always considered "cool with the kids" in some capacity, literally every generation. People don't usually stay trendy that long. Oliver is a marketing genius and sophisticated businessman

im just convinced the sadness will never end and it never ends are linked together ... almost like olis reminding us tht it truly doesnt end

Been binging all these Myspace videos. I love that you play a sizeable clip of the songs, you can really get the feel for the tune that way. The nostalgia is too much, I miss the deathcore days

Suicide Season is still one of my favorite metal albums of all time

Badass. Myspace changed my life. Wish it was still around. Nice dive into the past.

thanks for this vid, loved learning more about bmth’s older stuff as someone that’s got into them (way) more recently :D and i’m seeing them in a month so super excited for that!!

great video as much as I love the new stuff its always fun to look back on the older songs

You know you are a huge fan of a band when you recognize every single live show from the video

Such a cool channel! Love seeing someone go over this era of music

22:52 imma have to say this, but architects came up in the scene alongside BMTH, also starting off with a sound that’s extremely reminiscent of Norma Jean, Converge, and Dillinger Escape Plan. Ruin inspired the stylistic shift they had on suicide season, which in turn inspired Hollow Crown, which is where all the electronic and pop mixed with metalcore and hardcore bands partially drew inspiration from. Though I see the influence architects and BMTH had on bands those attack attack and asking Alexandria kinda bands as secondary to the influence of bands like saosin, circa survive, blessthefall, underoath, the used, a day to remember, senses fail, from first to last, falling in reverse, avenged sevenfold, and basically every other band that tried to blend together groove metal/metalcore/new wave of American heavy metal and pop punk. All with varying degrees of success *glares at Matt shadows vocals on the first two a7x records, the massive blemish on the face of two otherwise perfect records that beautifully married the sound of bands like afi and screeching weasel with bands like Metallica and pantera.* I would’ve likely included B4MV in the past but their first two records were just straight up copying Trivium and i love them for that. Once I got used to Matt’s vocals on ascendancy and ember to inferno, that was “the sound” for me. Everything I wanted to play and imitate. Metallica with just enough influence from 90’s hardcore to make it fresh and exciting.

Glad I discovered your channel! Takes me back to the greatest time of my life

Loving the content my dude . It's great watching this stuff and brings me back to some of my favourite memories. Keep it coming my dude!

Good old times, i love the old stuff 🤘🏻 thx for the memories :)

You have a great thing going with this channel. You're doing fantastic. Don't worry, just trust the process. Eventually you'll grow a subscriber base big enough to make a living of it. One thing you already do and is a great additions are the interviews with bands. That's always super interesting. Not only the OG bands but also newer bands like Elysia, Slamwich, Peeling Flesh, Embrace Your Punishment or whoever is killing it at the moment. I mean there are soo many underground deathcore and slam bands you can interview

Dude you mentioned black list!! Such an amazing deep cut that never gets talked about. I didn’t know about it’s origins as a diss to Curtis though.

I love the older Drop Dead designs, I still have some of them. My favorite being that purple one with the stacked logo

I agree. I still listen to count your blessings. Medusa will never get old to me

I’m so glad I found your channel! Keep it up! 😁

BMTH is the band that got me unto metalcore, forever grateful for that, now i am excited for theyre new album

Absolutely love their new stuff but holy shit when I saw them do the throwback medley in Melbourne I was one of the happiest people in the world

Love the video thanks for this!

Damn bro!! I'm grabbing a couple beers and binging your shit!! Great objective/subjective points of view. Love this shit!!!

I also miss that I do BMTH MySpace era, but I don’t think it should be overlooked that they’re still getting up and going playing some old school deathcore in front of sold out stadiums, even if a lot of those people are there to hear tracks off Amo and newer. That’s pretty badass, and probably has introduced a lot of people to that genre. Love your videos, keep ‘em up 🤘

i love this type of videos

Great video mate, really informative and well constructed. Subbed

Everyone started to write a bmth style with the chugs and big chorus synths, they really paved the way for

So glad I found your videos, I found the TAIM video I also grew up during the Myspace deathcore times and I would make stuff like this if I could, thank you I'd like to add one cool thing, as a guitarist I remember Sleep With One Eye Open being the first song I EVER heard tune down to G. (They usually played in B) Other bands like Suicide Silence and Whitechapel played seven string guitars tuned to A, but I remember playing along to Suicide Season and going WHAT IS THAT NOTE

I remember there was a low-key grotty halloween gig of theirs from the late 00's where one of was dressed as Scooby Doo, good times.

cool channel the MSDC era played such a heavy influence on me and my musical upbringing. would love to see a video on Elysia

youre not alone mate

The awakening by underneath the gun was always an EP shrouded in mystery for me. Could be a good subject for a video if you’re familiar

Ugh I miss those days, still love the old BMTH till this day. It took me a VERY long time to get into their new stuff.

You’re videos are criminally underrated, so clean and relaxed

I'm still listening to count your blessings and suicide season. Ohh man

So I know I asked for Belie My Burial... But fuuuuck, I would die for a IKilledThePromQueen mini doc Also, I was at the Charlotte, NC warped tour in '13 or '14 when BMTH did the shadow moses breakdown twice.

My comment will be lost im sure, but you have to talk about Elysia. Id love to see a video on them. My favorite early deathcore band.

even though i was born long after bmth did deathcore i still love that stuff and to see this video explain this so well i absolutley love

Yooooo that last clip of them playing live, where did you find that?! I’d love to check out the full set if it’s available! Love the content, you’re fucking awesome🤘🏻

Lets explore The Crimson Armada next

Love this account bruh fr

This man is a hero!!!

IT WAS WRITTEN IN BLOOD is my favorite song off SS! the whole album is dope af, but that song hits hard for me

Long live BMTH!

suicide season .... man this album holds a very very important place to me with the songs the sadness never ends and suicide season .... there is a hell too ..... god dam those 2 fucking albums mean so much to me .... ex gf drama ... mental drama .... loss of my grandpa .... so much

count your blessings was a blessing from the deathcore gods

I feel like it’s a shame sometimes with the lack of guitar and drum technicality malia and nichols have in newer bmth tracks. Seeing them in a more heavier project would be cool

i fucking love your videos

Me Still listening count your blessing 🤌🏻🔥 big love from India 🇮🇳

Curtis got kicked out on the bus on Warped Tour. There was some back and forth banter about the shirt Curtis was going to wear on stage between him and Oli. Then Curtis was moaning about having to play at all on stage and Oli just flipped out and kicked him off the tour there and then. Their guitar tech Dean Rowbowtham covered for the rest of that tour and Jona joined not long after.

Love this! I still have my OG dropdead lumberjack hat & still gets used every winter hah. Iconic shit

Can i request dead to fall? Or martyr ad?

I remember sitting in computer class (cause that used to be a thing) and watching the PFP music video with my friends and bein mind blown.

Not a big fan of Bring Me but I think you did a pretty good job!!!

RWARRRR. Their first E.P. is so epic. Man like you said you can't hate on them. As we get older out music changes. I never thought ar 43 I would love Doom and Black Metal as of this year or Japanese flute but I do. Our tastes changes and being Hardcore is all about being open minded and if your not open minded you missed out on alot and you certainly better not say you love Hardcore. Asking Alexandria did the same thing and they verbally said, "we want to become more rock and roll" I say good for them. I may not like their new style of both bands but im happy they had the courage to still follow their passions and none of us should fault them for that. They arent sell outs !! Don't even get me started on CODE Orange😂 SMH.. Well I hope both bands keep following their passions. Thats Hardcore. They didn't care and who are we to tell them what to do with their passion to play music. Much love and all but kind words for anyone who read my comment 0:58

Do Molotov Solution! Starting all the way back in 04 or before! All on RU-vid!

3:04 I didn’t know Sami Zayn had a metal band

ah yes i miss the monster and redbull cans the smell of hair spray and bbqs in the air. such a great era

For Stevie Wonders eyes only was 🔥

I heard Curtis Ward had an inner ear problem and with the loud music was causing him to go deaf?

have you considered doing a video on the red shore? i mostly ask because bring me the horizon, the red shore and i killed the prom queen were my 2nd ever concert so i associate all 3, pray for plagues is top tier myspace deathcore imo honestly the red shore might not be big enough for a video they sadly never got huge

Ahh their first album was so freaking amazing! I guess they transitioned because they wanted to make real band money though 😅 Their new stuff is interesting too.

fun fact about the chelsea smile video is has all the guys from cancer bats are in the video

need a video on i killed the prom queen too

whats your take on BM? Dissection?

That bit at around the 3:13 mark is so obvious as being (I Used To Make Out With) Medusa, even if the recording is shit, the playing is so obviously on point, like holy shit.

Suicide season, there is a hell…, and sempiternal have all been an acquired taste for me, but even right out the gate I loved count your blessings even though I acted like a hater. I’ve always been critical of the production and sound design, though it’s still more tolerable than the cleansing or unhallowed. I think it’s because I took a liking to ABRB’s Allegiance right away because of the songwriting and it’s the one record of that style and time period that isn’t overly compressed or distorted to the point that a lot of the music is unintelligible (though it’s a bit too high on the decibels at times) and listening to it repeatedly I became accustomed to the weird eclectic songwriting as well as the overly loud and synthetic sound of digitally produced music and eventually took a liking to deathcore. That and seeing metalcore and deathcore bands at the 2012 summer slaughter fest and feeling the energy in the room, even though the sound techs at the grove absolutely ruined most of their sets. What I find especially funny is how as I’ve grown up the sound of older, more lo-fi death metal and grindcore records made with analog equipment like from enslavement to obliteration and blasphemy made flesh, the guitar work that used to be crisp and clear to my ears has become more unintelligible while now I can understand every riff on the cleansing, which I used to not be able to do

Saw them live when Count your blessings was still new. They were sick. Glad to hear they still play old stuff live occasionally as I’m not a fan of anything after suicide season

I have never found myself wanting to listen to a full deathcore album unless it was bmth, havent listened to the ep, but I listened to albums from count your blessings to sempiternal. Count your blessings is peak. I couldn't get into sempiternal as much as other people, mostly because of seeing so many unfunny sigma edits using can you feel my heart, which isn't my favorite to begin with, the other songs are good, but some of them sound a little similar, which nothing wrong with that, but just hearing some kind of pattern turned me off from it a little. as for new songs, I've heard Kingslayer, parasite eve, amen, lost and a small bit of kool-aid. which all of those except for kool-aid were good if not great (excluded kool-aid because i don't remember anything about it).

I'll never forget their joke songs they did as Womb 2 Da Tomb hahaha that shit was so funny and stupid

This is really at 666 like I’m the 667th

I absolutely hated BMTH around the time they released Pray for Plagues. Honestly not a big fan of the myspace deathcore stuff in general as I was into more traditional death metal at the time. I gave Suicide Season a chance and really liked that album. Everything they've out out since I've enjoyed. If you would have told me back in 2006 this band would be one of the biggest in the rock/metal/alternative scene now, I would have laughed.

Captain Jack Sparrow

i hate all my FRAAAAANDS

So glad I never got loaded with corny tattoos cuz of being into this scene as a kid lmao

I only care about their first 4 albums, besides CYB they were more of metalcore band. But I feel like they lost their sound after Sempiternal imo. I'm not saying their new stuff is bad, just not for me. Cool to seem them still perform old songs but damn Oli is struggling.

Not bad for a Boy Band… 😎

7:51 WHAT THE FUCK!!?!?!? Will Ramos!!??!?! you didn't say anything about being featured on their MV.

sempiternal was when I stopped liking BMTH lol

this is the era I love the most from them.. everything after sempiternal is trash in my opinion.. just commercial stuff =))

I miss this oli!

Yeo og scenester here can you do eatmewhileimhot

Do escape the fate lol

I love this era of BMTH. I stopped listening to thrm when sempiternal came out. I consider that their "Black Album" equivalent to metallica where it got them mainstream and the music changed. I just didn't like it. Count your blessings will foever be my favorite album by BMTH. I remember playing it on my ipod nano and ipod touch. Those were the days
