For BMTH, it all started in March 2004, when these 5 kids got together from the ashes of a collection of defunct bands and started to write some music. Taking their influences from many of the heavier American metal-core acts, the newly formed band soon started turning heads. Much more attention followed, building rapidly after playing shows across the UK with the likes of Zao, The Nothing, Shaped by Fate and Johnny Truant. A rabid, hungry, loyal and HUGE fan-base started to grow and their shows became busier and busier. They didn't have any boundaries or rules, they just wrote what they wanted to hear and play.
Bring Me the Horizon are five very young British lads with a penchant for the heavy., Their astonishingly good debut mini album set for re-release on Visible Noise on the 30th January, 'This is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For', is essentially an 18 minute, mid nineties breakdown; four tracks of intense raging chugging and squealing, stop/starting and severe 'core riffing. Nary a second hand euro thrash riff to be found, nary a melodic sung chorus, all things about this genre that irritate are devoid (well save for ball splitinglyright now tight pants and backwards hair-cuts).
The band have toured with The Red Chord and played with bands such as Aiden and Bleeding Through, only stoking the fire of demand and interest in this astounding group. BMTH's followers are devout, intense and VAST. Already, the band have had over 400,000 plays on the worlds biggest hardcore download site (
www.hxcmp3.com), not to mention being in the top 100 played UK acts on MySpace (them and Coldplay were the only UK acts in the top 100!!!). They even have their own tribute band!!!!
This thoroughly brutal and immense beast of a mini album is unstoppable; BMTH have set a new standard for rage; a new level for windmilling metal-core. 2006 will be theirs for the taking, and no one will stand in their way!
