BRING ME THE HORIZON : The Myspace Deathcore Early Days

[@illheart]

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

[@xtheyan]

100% 🤘🏻

[@donbaker5707]

As is this is what the edge of your seat was made for

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

​@@donbaker5707I always saw that as just metalcore

[@KingdomHeart556]

Actually objectively true

[@cole2075]

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.

[@xtheyan]

Yes ! Same here … even though Count your blessings will always have a special place in my heart 🤘🏻🔥

[@Fel1xF7W]

NeX GEn sucks :/ I loved amo and liked some of post human

[@localmilfchaser6938]

@@Fel1xF7WWHAT??? They literally went back to some of their metal roots reminiscent of sempiternal

[@TheOneTruePatriot]

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

[@Schoobs31]

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.

[@xtheyan]

Awesome ! Yes they were on top 🤘🏻🔥

[@TimmyTurner421]

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

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

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

[@Aric--]

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

[@slumberska]

thanks for the video! I love all their incarnations, and every new album is an eye-opener, but that sweet myspace era was truly the time that made us who we are now, I guess. I still remember my first bmth gig back in 2008, and god, it was sooo good. small club, dozens of kids (well, kids only) and that unique 00’s spirit I still keep deep in my soul :3

[@spitefulcrow5026]

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

[@xtheyan]

Thank you !! Yes on my most recent videos it’s a bit shorter I think for the copyrights but I’m trying to put songs as long as I can 🤘🏻🔥

[@slavetotheneedle1990]

Oli was one of the few vocalists who didn't lose his scream as the show went on, vocals always sounded as fresh on their last song as their first

[@OrionOfTheVioletFlame]

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.

[@tshred666]

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.

[@rileydepiazzi8458]

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

[@xtheyan]

Thank you ! Yes I think it’s always cool to see where it all started 🤘🏻🔥

[@TheUndergroundRave]

When I was a young teen I met a guy online that was so into BMTH he got a Medusa tattoo on one hand, a rose on the other, and throat tattoo. Emo swoop so big you couldn’t see his eyes. I personally used to fall asleep to Suicide season every night like a lullaby 😂 Oli really had the sauce. BMTH single handedly launched me into the punk I am today

[@jimmygardner4817]

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

[@veraanastasiaramirezrozas1633]

I had discovered this band around 2013. And so Sempiternal was something I did listen to quite often. I do remember how polarizing the comments were when the album came out. And now fastforward it is considered one of their best. Its always amusing to me to see how people's opinions change over time. I feel like after they retire, the band is going to be praised even more. I had listened to their previous works, and it is quite clear to me that they were always going to take an experimental route.

[@lou_gubrious]

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

(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

[@bubbacalling]

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.

[@danmaycock9238]

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.

[@bradyalberson6]

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 🤘

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.

[@Broimsatan]

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

[@xtheyan]

I competely agree ! Even if sometimes we're disappointed by the new direction, we should still be grateful for the album we loved and wish them the best , instead of complaining ! 🤘🏻🔥

[@Broimsatan]

@xtheyan defenitly and honestly when I was younger or even 5 or 10 years ago I would down on these artists and I just wasn't taking the time to just say to myself they dint care about making money they are taking a huge risk and that rakes courage. I defenitly can tell you want to go more deeper into giving us knowledge on these bands but you keep it on the subject your channel is about and I really admire that. I never read tge comment asking if you had a band or if you were on Spotify?

rip old bmth

[@dead_memelol]

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).

[@tshred666]

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
