Bring Me the Horizon (sometimes abbreviated as BMTH) are a British metalcore band from Sheffield, Yorkshire. Formed in 2004, the group currently consists of lead vocalist Oliver Sykes, lead guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls and keyboardist Jordan Fish. They are currently signed to RCA Records globally and Epitaph Records exclusively in the US. The style of their early work has primarily been described as deathcore, but they started to adopt a more eclectic style of metalcore on later releases. Furthermore, their
After the release of their EP, the band was noticed by local UK label Thirty Days of Night Records,[4] who signed the band. Bring Me the Horizon was the first to be signed to the label.[7] They then were put on a four album record deal complemented by the EP was then re-released on January 2005.[4] The re-release of the EP gained the band a significant amount of attention, peaking at no. 41 on the UK album charts.[8] At this time right up until 2008 Kean, and Oliver’s mother Carol Sykes were the de facto managers of the band.[4] The band was later awarded Best British Newcomer at the 2006 Kerrang! Awards ceremony.[9] The band’s first tour was in supporting The Red Chord across the United Kingdom.[4] The band got a lot of early tours by tricking venue promoters. For The Red Chord support, Kean emailed promoters and pretended they were opening on all of the dates, when in reality they were supposed to only play at one of the shows on the tour (the venue that was local in their own home city), this led them to being booked for the whole tour. In another case, Sykes impersonated Oliver Mitchell (the singer of Johnny Truant) through creating an email account with his name and contacted a promoter to put Bring Me the Horizon on their tour.[4] Their live performances in their early history were fueled by alcohol consumption where the band would get so drunk they would vomit on stage and would damage their own equipment.
