Sejarah Bring Me The Horizon

Bring Me The Horizon diawali dengan pertemuan masing-masing personelnya di scene musik lokal d Sheffield. Awalnya, Oliver Sykes (vokal), dan Matt Nichols (drum), udah pernah ngeband bareng. Gitu juga dengan Lee Malia (gitar), dan Curtis Ward (gitar). Mereka berdua pernah ngeband bareng, di sebuah band cover version Metallica.

Matt, Lee, dan Curtis, udah berteman sebelumnya. Maklum, mereka adalah mahasiswa d kampus yang sama. Berangkat dari ketertarikan musik yang sama, mereka akhirnya memutuskan untuk ngeband bareng. Matt langsung merekomendasikan nama Oli, untuk jadi vokalis.

"kami akhirnya setuju untuk masukin Oli, ke band kami. Soalnya, pas pertama kali nge-jam, kami terpukau banget dengan screaming Oli", ujar Lee.

Nggak berapa lama. Matt Kean pun bergabung sebagai bassis. Awalnya, pertemuan Matt Kean dengan Oli termasuk konyol. Saat itu, Oli dan Matt Nichols lagi ada di sebuah bis dari London ke Sheffild. Matt Kean juga ada di bis yang sama. Oli pun ngajak Matt Kean untuk ngobrol. Obrolannya nggak jauh-jauh. Pastinya seputar musik.

"dan setelah ngobrol2, kami merasa nyambung untuk urusan musik. Mereka akhirnya mengundang saya untuk coba2 latihan bareng. Selanjutnya, saya diterima masuk band mereka, dan kami ngeband bareng mulai dari situ", ujar Matt Kean.

Nama Bring Me The Horizon diambil dari kalimat yang diucapkan karakter Jack Sparrow, dalam film Pirates Of Caribbean. Perjalanan bermusik mereka termasuk hebat. Baru terbentuk tahun 2004, sampai sekarang mereka udah mulai merilis sekitar 2 buah album dan 1 mini album....
