What is bring me the horizon?
A scene band described by many mainstream websites, magazines, and reviewers on other media as deathcore. However, they are nothing more than the latest lucky bunch to be picked for extensive coverage, while others of their breed wallow underground (relatively).
Frontman Oli Sykes has recently been in hot bother for allegedly urinating on a female fan after a recent gig. He's the main USP (unique selling point, a business term for the main attraction of a product) of the band, because their fans don't talk about anyone else. Plus, his vocals sound like either a) a cross between Bullet For My Valentine's Matt Tuck and Cradle Of Filth's Dani Filth, or b) a knock-off of Arch Enemy's Angela Gossow. Which, in either case, is bad.
The lyrics are, though not obvious at first, about relationships, thereby placing Bring Me The Horizon in the same league as Bullet For My Valentine and Funeral For A Friend. The band themselves have been tagged to the "emo" movement, and have been critised by professional critics for being predictable and untalented; conversely, they have been popular with stereotypical 14-year-old scene kids who wear size zero jeans and arm socks and flourishing myspace accounts.
You know in some indie music circles like NME where, out of say 25 bands, a random band like The Twang or The Enemy is picked for media exposure and mainstream grooming? Well, the rock magazines like Kerrang! have picked Bring Me The Horizon in a similar fashion, placing Oli Sykes and his Toni&Guy-brand hair on posters and stickers, and overhyping all their releases, whether visual or audio.
Various joke names associated with this lot include "Bring Me The Hairspray", "Bring Me The Hair Extensions" or my invention "Bring Me The Hyperbole", which is inspired by their overexposure to mainstream audiences.

Bring me the horizon - what is it?
This band strives around having an image, not actually concentrating on their music at all. They make bland, boring, generic metal, and Oli Sykes triple dubs his vocals and adds a radio affect to them. Their guitars are flat sounding, and so are the drums. Its pretty obvious that the band revolves around Oliver Sykes because scenies think he's "hott." When in reality, he isn't. It's just his scene look that attracts them. You can usually find scene kids obsessing over the band because one of them said they were cool, so just like Hello Kitty, diamonds, and bat's, all the other scene kids think it's cool. And once again it's obvious that it has nothing to do with the music. Its a combination of them being attracted to the vocalist, and because they're scene to like, and scene kids are always looking for scene points.
The band themselves other than musicians have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to music. The most obvious question to ask a band is "who are you influences." BMTH can even answer it because they don't have a clue. The members are all cocky, arrogant, pricks. They're in it for the fashion. Which makes it even more obvious because the band owns their own clothing line, which brings up "maybe they're just doing it to get their name out?" Which they are because it's the most advertised thing on their website. Bottom line, obsess over a band that has talent and deserves the dedicated fan's. Not some piece of shit glamXcore scene band from the UK full of drag queen pricks.
Bring me the horizon is famous because of Oli, and that's it. Notice that no on ever talks about the rest of the band, or their music for the matter.

an amazing band.
Bring Me The Horizon are fast looking like one of the best hopes for the country's underground - playing extreme metalcore that's tighter then the average schoolgirl they back it up with lashings of style; from their bohemian glamcore image to their intense and energetic live-shows they play the part of the effete fashioncore elite and back it up with the kind of music that conspires to turn your hair grey and your blood to ice.

1. "Bring me that horizon" first it was the last line in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl; An improv by Johnny Depp
2. A majorly popular band from the UK. They don't suck by the way, I happen to like them, and I'm not even "scene". I don't like them just because a scene kid said they were cool, I like them because I found them on myspace, and really liked their sound. So, if you're hating on BMTH, just shut the hell up and go listen to whatever music you like.
1. Jack Sparrow: Now, bring me that horizon.... and really bad eggs. drink up me hearties, yo-ho!
2. wow, bring me the horizon is fucking mint.
Bring me the horizon
A popular UK Deathcore band from Sheffield, Yorkshire. The band lineup consists of Oliver Sykes (Vocals), Lee Malia and Curtis Ward (Guitars), Matt Keane (Bass) and Matt Nichols (Drums). Their 2005 demo "This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For" helped to popularize Extreme Metalcore and Deathcore in the UK. Metal publications have largely praised their technical ability; Metal Hammer magazine claimed that it had "more face-peeling riffs than most bands twice their age". The band has toured extensively, both as support acts and headliners, as well as playing renound UK rock festival Download.
However, as a band who have profited largely from mainstream and modern musical mediums and marketing techniques - the use of social networking sites, coverage from mainstream rock publications - and their contemporary teen look, they often come under fire from heavy metal purists who claim that they're a band liked by those who want to appear more metal than they really are (thus falling under the designation colliquially known as "scene kids"). Despite the band's best efforts, this image has stuck; indeed, their crowds are notorious for a by-and-large absence of moshing, often ignoring frontman Oli Sykes' encouragement to do so. Also, as they play a derivative of metalcore, they're associated with a very elitist sense of having "watered down" standard Death Metal.
