In every successful business you need a Visionary and an Integrator. It’s crazy how these 2 naturally fell into these roles and took the band to a different level.

[@carolinecoy3164]

Yeah. They seem miss matched and like chalk and cheese. But it works so well. When they were talking about Oli wanting to do this different weird stuff and Jordan was like nah that's not guna work. All I had in my head was The short clip where Oli wants to add elephant noises in teardrops. But it worked 😂😂

[@EdoCFH]

The person who for the most redefined the metal scene of today's era. His job in arrangements, incorporating pop structure and modern sounds has been monumental. If Falling in Reverse is cool now, is because 10 years ago we had Sempiternal and people have accepted new sounds in metal.

[@martinw2235]

They are clearly a huge influence on today's scene, but we do need to recognize that they are an evolution from what Linkin Park was doing. A significant step forward, to be sure, but there is connective tissue there.

[@EdoCFH]

@@martinw2235 The Linkin Park - BMTH pipeline is real, agree

[@terribletimmy2]

The fact Jordan doesn't think Sempiternal is anything other than "borrowing" from influences is just... so insane. That album is still the best Album I've heard in the past 10 years. It is THE metalcore album to me, and set the tone for the entire scene for a decade.

[@emkstr]

Yes! They borrowed from other influences but made something completely new. That's talent and vision.

Jordan is definitely their secret weapon. *Obviously* they're all 100% proficient and with their own instruments but when Oli was really struggling with his vocals, Jordan really saved the day. Yeah I really respect his influence.

[@LordMorgoth90]

Oli is an awesome frontman (I'm quite shocked about the fact that he couldn't sing at all before, freaking impressive how he sings now lol). But man, this guy is so talented that he took BMTH to a different level. To be honest, I started to like them more since Sempiternal. Besides that, he looks so nice and humble. I love this interview, probably the best you have done Finn. Thanks and regards from Spain!

[@sebastianpacheco9846]

This is incredible, the fact that Finn is interviewing a key member of, I would say, one of the biggest rock/metal bands right now shows how much his channel and his status in the scene has grown. Congratulations on the interview that has really been very good.

I’ve never clicked on a video faster. Finn, thank you so much. I am enamoured by this band and have been since a kid. Truly such an inspiration.

[@lrn5152]

You know, I would actually like it if BMTH did a full orchestral album. Sempiternal and the Royal Albert Hall concert is as close as that gets. I think an orchestral album would be a very good way to break into another new area of music that frankly hasn't been done often.

[@KingKrouch]

The usage of symphonic instruments really gives that concert an entirely different vibe. Happy Song is one of the getaway examples, it’s strangely higher energy than the original. Symphonic metal is rarely done right, but I’d like to see their take on it.

It puzzles me that some people are still like "are they ever gonna be heavy again?" dude, they released Post Human Survival Horror in 2020, what more do you need? Recount Your Blessings?

[@carolinecoy3164]

Those people will always moan. Not like there isn't so much deathcore out there. Go listen to Lorna shore and shut ya bitchin😂😂. You're either on board with BMTH or ya not. But they've not been deathcore for so long,the moaners just need to get over it. and just enjoy when they do bring out some heavy. It's like they want them to make music just for their tiny minds. They even call people not true bring me fans if they don't just like that. Like. WTF 😂😂

[@chrisoconnor8928]

Lol. They definitely should release a song with that name though!

What they mean by heavy again is all the songs need to be nothing but rawrs and dissonant riff salad that run together in such a way that you have to check to see if it's the same song or not.

Wonderful interview, very interesting. ... because I am a late comer to BMTH and I am fascinated by their journey. I would LOVE for Finn to get to talk to Oli as well, obviously, that would be an interesting follow-up to this. But if that doesn't happen, this is great anyway 🙂

I loved this. And I love that you can put BMTH on shuffle and you never know what you're guna get next. But it still always has the BMTH essence in there. I can't understand the whiners. I loved the Sempiternal album but I'd be bored if that's all they sounded like. Jordan is so modest. He sings too and sounds great. Can't believe Oli was totally tone deaf😮 does that mean the melodic parts in can you feel my heart( the sing that's very personal to me) was all electronically enhanced. Still he's done so well and worked really hard with his singing voice. Would love more guitar solos in their heavier songs though. That's really the only element that's missing. You don't notice it's missing at the same time because there's so much going on. Congratulations on LosT. It's amazing. And the video is GreAT

I first got into metalcore back in 2014 with asking Alexandria being my biggest band long story short fast forward to 2020 I had no hope for asking, ya is cool Danny is back but not my style then heard post human and I was like Godammit dog I missed on BMTH all these year not only that heard they weren’t heavy either but ones I heard king slayer with baby metal I knew I was listening to the wrong band all these years who completely were not in for the “heavy music” thank you Jordan Fish! and everyone in bring me the horizon.

[@dnlvf11]

I've been following BMTH religiously when I was younger, and it felt like they hit a wall and/or a plateau pre-Jordan. His addition to the band was a godsend, and they're not showing signs of slowing down. The new single even gives me hope that they're making something that can rival Sempiternal's impact on the scene. Always looking forward to what they're going to do next!

i dove into bmth in 2020 after hearing mantra by chance on a random playlist my roomie was listening to. they are my fav band hands down. at the time i thought that album was how they always sounded then i found the later albums and i completely fell in love with this band. the only album i dont like is count your blessings but i wasnt into that. SS was amazing, even the edm covers. there is a hell is amazing, sempiternal is beyond amazing, tts is great but theres a couple songs i dont vibe with, same for amo (love mantra and S.h.i.t and wonderful life) post human was so good. i love that whatever music im in the mood for, my fav band has a song to quench that thirst. that is so rare to find a band that not only dont give a shit about what ppl want and just make their own art, but they dip into all the genres i like and its so cool.

[@Snakes.StartToSing]

For me the thing with count your blessings is that it came out when I was starting high school. So it holds a nostalgic place since all my friends liked it too. But sempiternal and that's the spirit are soooo good. And there is a hell is so underrated. One of the most influential bands, now other bands are kind of copying their style

wow it's amazing how Jordan is on point with his retrospective on the song choices for amo. Not sure why he's surprised about Sugar Honey Ice & Tea, it's a fking amazing song, definitely one of their top songs ever. It's an amazing album, I honestly think mother tongue is the only weak song on it (and medicine feels like a leftover from TTS) but I can imagine them making even better songs as he says. Man their storage of unreleased songs must be a goldmine, I LOVE their experimental stuff like on "Music to listen to" and "amo" too, I hope they dont hold back on those, eventhough I think Post Human is a masterpiece and want so much more of that.
