10 Musicians You Love For The Wrong Album

4. Bring Me The Horizon - That’s The Spirit

What You SHOULD Love Them For: Suicide Season

Way back when, before they were boiler-suit-wearing space rock titans with a residency on Radio One and an arsenal of synths the size of a small armada, Bring Me The Horizon were just a group of lads from Sheffield with a love for metalcore and side fringes like tsunamis.

Recent releases That’s The Spirit and Amo may have brought the band to a much broader, more mainstream audience than anyone could have foreseen in their early days of chaotic live shows and punished vocal chords, but in some respects, that was when BMTH were at their best.

Second album Suicide Season was a wonderfully executed, surprisingly sophisticated slab of metal goodness for a band so young that managed to be both heavy as f*** and arrestingly melodic too. If you need convincing of just how good the record is, you need only look at how heavily it influenced the later work of peers like Architects, Asking Alexandria, and While She Sleeps.

Bring Me have always been a lot more forward thinking than they are perhaps given credit for, and while they continue to push the envelope now that they have achieved megastardom, you still can’t beat the unrelenting rush of Suicide Season.
