The entire alternative music industry often resembles a chicken coop where among the many hens there is a proud and seemingly unbeatable rooster, and Bring Me the Horizon are the epitome of this likeness. A band that has quite taken advantage of the current situation in the international music scene, delivering to those too focused on predictable bands and banal releases, a fundamentally evil sound.
With this album, the band adds to the brutalcore of the previous album "Count Your Blessings" a more metalcore influence (I tried to find synonyms, but I couldn't...), with interludes featuring synth and electronic beats. We are presented with dizzying breakdowns, desperate screams, and riffs as melodic as they are evil. The mood shifts to atmospheres more emocore (Sadness Will Never End, Suicide Season) to shock us with more extreme and brutal tracks (No Need For Introductions I Read About Girls Like You on the Backs of Toilet Doors, Diamonds Aren't Forever, Football Season is Over) and others more metalcore (Chelsea Smile, The Comedown), I personally love this album, because I found in it influences from many other bands like Aborted, Black Dahlia Murder, and Enter Shikari.
Equipped with a sound as fierce as it is sorrowful and melodic, BMTH have produced a beautiful album, one of the best recent releases from an emerging band, eschewing the banality of other bands and striving to find a solution that could make them recognizable among a thousand other groups, wonderfully succeeding in this endeavor; the new metal and hardcore are encapsulated in here.
The screamer...uhm, sorry the singer of the group is a 22-year-old kid, and he’s even vegetarian!!!
It seems that the fact I was listening to Bring Me The Horizon made my mother think that I’m out of it, listening to someone vomiting.
