Bring Me The Horizon's EP

Artist: Bring Me The Horizon
Album: This is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For
Label: Earache Records
Release Date: Sep 25, 2007






Re-released in the U.S. this past September, Bring Me the Horizon’s This is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For is a blood and adrenaline pumping ride incorporating elements of death and metalcore into a furious fusion of movement and sound. BMTH’s sound is unrelenting, combining the likes of Dillinger Escape Plan, Animosity and The Black Dahlia Murder into a seamless, yet chaotic listening experience.

For an EP, the four tracks on this disc pack in more punches than most full length records — technical guitars, off speed tempo changes, an unhinged vocal attack and thunderous drums on each track. Oli Sykes vocal range impresses as he shifts from cleanly shouted lyrics to unintelligible guttural growls and screams. His delivery is both emotional and full of fury as he spits out his lyrics. Guitarists Lee Malia and Curtis Ward deliver a one-two attack with precision riffs and shredding leads. Matt Kean on bass and Matt Nicholls on drums provide a chaotic and apocalyptic landscape for the rest of the band to play with.
