Bring Me The Horizon

Is change really such a good thing? Certainly not, according to many fans of English rock quintet Bring Me The Horizon. The Sheff ield band began their career in 2004 as purveyors of deathcore metal. They swiftly moved away from this extreme sound to less aggressive styles. This moderation in their music coincided with a distinct increase in the band’s popularity and record sales. Their last , 2015’s That’s The Spirit, received universal critical acclaim. It took top spot on the Australian and Canadian charts, hit number two in Britain and equalled this position on the . But have the band now drifted too far away from their rock roots? Their sixth studio album, Amo, is set for release on January 25. Although frontman Oliver Sykes says the new album is more experimental than their last record and every song on Amo is completely diff erent, the band’s rock-loving fans feel what they’ve heard so far is much too pop- orientated for their taste. The video for Bring Me The Horizon’s latest single, Medicine, is posted at ASPIRING: wants new people to get into his music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MocF43ncu8I Reaction has been decidedly mixed. One fan even suggested they should now call themselves Bring Me The Ariana Grande. Other detractors have at least admitted the song is catchy even if it is not the type of music they want to hear from the band. “It’s the poppiest album we’ve ever made,” admitted Oliver Sykes. “But Hoodie SZN is a big Amo is a concept album that explores every aspect of love.
