Bring Me The Horizon is One of My Favorite Bands

Bring Me The Horizon has catapulted to the top of my list of favorite bands since I discovered them earlier this year. They’re among my all-time favorite bands, a spot otherwise only previously occupied by Led Zeppelin and Twenty-One Pilots.

Their act is theatrical, their music videos are amazingly creative, and they have so many top tier songs that I don’t even know where to begin. It’s such a chaotic, intoxicating mixture of anger, poignancy, and pure nihilist weirdness that I can’t help but find it compelling. On top of it all, the execution is incredible: the song composition is dynamite, the vocals are great, and the holistic sound is uniquely them. They feel like a natural evolution of hard rock.

If you imagined what hard rock should sound and look like in the future 30 years ago, Bring Me The Horizon is probably exactly what you imagined, but better. Neon, highly produced, angry, dystopian. Half Blade Runner, half Mad Max.

When we talk about Digital & Spiritual Nihilism, Bring Me The Horizon embodies the general vibe of the whole thing so perfectly. I’d go so far as to say, alongside Grimes, Bring Me The Horizon is the official band of Digital Nihilism. If you’re not listening to BMTH, I’m not sure what to tell you.

My favorite songs have to be, in order: Mantra, Throne, Nihilist Blues, Ludens

Ludens was just released. Here’s the official video:
