Bring Me The Horizon THEN VS. NOW - Riffs From Their First Album and Last Album (2021) Riff Battle

[@Scorpionmatero98]

I just realize that guitarist n drummer of bmth are kinda underrated

[@gunnarmagnus]

Oh yeah for sure dude! Crazy underrated. So versatile.

[@matvejkap]

Their names are Lee Malia and Matt Nichols for those who wants to know. And yes, they're amazing

[@jacobminnish7025]

Lmao really you must not listen to there old stuff guitar is right up in your face in the mix

[@anmerespinal2028]

Oli takes the Spotlight all the time so 🤷🏻‍♂️ (also Jordan Fish) that kinda annoy me cause i love Matt

[@lukavoutilainen7884]

Lee is very underrated

[@SuicidalChocolateSK]

It's crazy how good the riffs and songs are on CYB for how young they were, idk.

[@MrCholoPants3415]

Nah, their new riffs are just generic and bland, and the band was popular so the melodies stuck in your head from hearing it a billion times. The old stuff is par for the course. If you played guitar back then you would've written something similar.

[@JBXL1000]

@@MrCholoPants3415 dude you have no clue

[@zacvotruba8374]

And for being sponsored by First Act at the time, they really got those guitars sounding good. CYB will live on forever in my mind as one of the best deathcore albums of my childhood

[@nevernothigh9]

Zac Votruba they were sponsored by first act during count your blessings?? Bro what

[@WilliamFBogey]

The original guitarist left

[@Childofbhaal]

The breakdown in Tell Slater still makes me wanna freaking rage so hard. Even though I got most of my angst out it just slaps so hard.

[@calebolota]

the high pitch solo at the end always give me goosebumps the first album is such a banger and it aged preety well imo, but its almost uncanny how with each album they sound different but always hit the spot

[@Thatfangirloverthere]

I’ve never noticed the similarities between dear diary and pray for plagues before that was cool

[@thg5207]

Yeah they go together so well...

[@JacobNates]

Man I didn't realize how much At The Gates used to be in there

[@northtimo666]

Metalcore is basically At the gates with breakdowns and melodic choruses sometimes.

[@joehardwaree]

The entire genre of metalcore owes royalties to At The Gates and In Flames LOL.

[@Brieflyme]

Not all metalcore is inspired by melodeath, but yeah. That style of the genre was everywhere.

[@JacobNates]

I'm just gonna say it's probably no coincidence they recorded a few albums with the same producer who did Slaughter of the Soul and the classic In Flames albums

[@okaytimeforplanb2868]

A man of culture! ATG got me into heavy music.

[@CrocoX1]

Man that tone sounds amazing especially during the breakdown of tell slater

[@AdrienShadow]

To be honest, I'd want a re-recording or a re-imagination/remix of CYB, with their modern production quality like Black Veil Brides' "Re-stitch These Wounds" and maybe throw in/experiment some new addition/influences from their later works to them as well like synths from Jordan and maybe some clean vocals as well for harmonizing, making it sound like if CYB was made today. Post-Human is surely the closest inspiration we'd get to that~

[@Frezonr]

You should watch the " Pray for plagues live on wembley " it sounds sooooooo good imo

[@ianbarr9925]

There's an album tribute to that album on Spotify. Worth checking out... I can't remember who's on it. Maybe Varials or something. The whole album rips and I hadn't heard of many of the bands before.

[@jayxofofficial]

Really not that new, but if you listen to the infant annihilator version of pray for plagues its actually pretty fire, a bit modified but really good

[@shizuri3056]

One of few guitar battles where every guitarist isn't toxic to each other :DD

[@robertoboderocuriel6801]

I Will always say that CyB is maybe their best album along with Sempiternal, mot because maybe I'm a corekid at heart, bit because they were game changers to the whole genre

[@Aric_EPU]

In terms of lyrics CyB is easily bottom tier. Like, even they admitted they were trying to be as edgy as possible.

[@SrOminoso]

They made one of the best deathcore albums just because they wanted to be edgy, that's talent

[@guavazombie4107]

If CYB had better production it would’ve been my favorite

[@landhomer4627]

they should remaster cyb

[@samufer5598]

amazing work man, to be somebody that is able to play songs from "count your blessing" means you are such a master playing

[@javihernandez2755]

While CyB has a lot of cool riffs and the instrumentals are faster and more technical, I believe Post Human (actually everything since Jordan came, for that matter) is way more musical, more focused, like the songs are a whole and not a bunch of cool ideas put together. That's why now they can go softer like in Amo, heavier like in Post Human or make anything in between and it will always make sense, that's how far they've got as musicians and composers

[@Fel1xF7W]

there is a hell will always be their best album though, even though oli sounds like an emo kid

[@ams25666]

@@Fel1xF7W sempiternal to me is their best

[@Fel1xF7W]

@@ams25666 sempiternal is their magnum opus but TIAH has the rawness that Semp doesn't because of the production

[@ams25666]

@@Fel1xF7W I can agree with that . TIAH is still one of my favorite albums ever. Really enjoyed watching the evolution of the band since Count Your Blessings

[@Fel1xF7W]

@@ams25666 BMTH is a revolutionary band and definitely one of the best rock bands of the 21st century. i've kind of moved on from them though since their lyrics stray to the emo side more than punk. been listening to parkway drive's horizons and KWAS a lot

[@marshallsmith619]

Man, I feel like their new stuff is a bit groovier and diverse. I have to go give the new album another listen through cause I never picked up on the guitars and drums as much as I should have. Unfortunately, I've only seen BMTH after AMO just released, and that album is great, but one of their weakest.

[@antonholmberg911]

yeah the new stuff is kinda similar to nu-metal in ways or just straight up butt rock, and i do prefer that sound.

[@corbindallas18]

First off I'm diggin the stash. Second I'm definitely diggin that seven string you got there. Very nice 👌 Thirdly - This one is tough because I like circa 2006 and 2020 just as much as the other. On that note tho, I do think that they completely killed it with Post Human.

[@ThomasHogue]

Thanks man! I'm torn too I think I like the songs overall more on Post Human but there are more cool riffs on their first album. But the real battle is mustache vs no mustache

[@corbindallas18]

Strange to compare. CYB is deathcore PH: Survival Horror is alternative metal/nu metal/electronic rock

[@schmixes4891]

From the view of someone who didn’t grow up listening to BMTH: CYB seems like heavy for the sake of Heavy. Post-Human has heaviness but with a purpose and that’s the only way I can think of to describe it

braille has got to be one of my fav bmth riffs, its just so fucking nasty, keep up the good work man

[@JEsterCW]

I love CYB cause it's so technical and unique style, it's not typical deathcore riffing/tune or anything theyve got something there what made this album so good. Medusa and prey for plagues are my fav tracks from CYB album and its also impressive that they were just teenagers and theyve recorded so good deathcore album and ive tried to learn few songs from CYB album and medusa is like one of the hardest shit on this album to learn, so technical parts in the riffing. It always been my fav album from them. *To the author of this video, great quality of sound, camera and overall production aspect. The idea of "acting" and camera being cut in the middle is not the most orginal thing and became pretty generic for recording that kind of videos, but overall amazing job buddy!*
