History YMMV / BringMeTheHorizon

* GrowingTheBeard: Each and every album by them is better than the former. ''There Is A Hell... There Is A Heaven'' has been lauded as this by journalists. ''Sempiternal'' even more so. Of course, whether ''That's the Spirit'' continued the trend is still being debated.

** For ''amo'', it's "Mantra" or "Medicine".

** Forget the reaction to ''That's the Spirit'', the reaction became [[SerialEscalation more intense]] with ''amo''.

* {{Narm}}: Whenever Oli's growls/screams/whichever would revert to his regular voice on ''Count Your Blessings''.

%%* {{Wangst}}

** Avrrted with Music/{{Grimes}} with her feature on "nihilist blues" off of ''amo''.

* WTHCastingAgency: Pop singer Music/{{Lights}} guests on "Crucify Me" and "Don't Go".

* NightmareFuel: "For Stevie Wonder's Eyes Only" aims for this with such lines as "I whispered in her ear: fear me, dear, for I am death".
** The song itself is bad enough, but their fates in the "Alligator Blood" video:
*** [[spoiler: Oli getting the "Death" card, then suddenly convulsing and dropping dead from what appears to be a heart attack.]]
*** [[spoiler: Jordan being left to freak out with a spider on his chest.]]
*** [[spoiler: Matt (Nicholls) getting mauled by vampires.]]
*** [[spoiler: Lee [[{{Film/Hellraiser}} solving a puzzle]], then suddenly getting dragged into the darkness.]]
** The [[http://epitaph.com/media/releases/0045778700660.png.1200x1200_q90_crop.jpg artwork]] for ''Suicide Season''.
** The "Follow You" video, especially the part where a non-violent woman is trapped in her car, while everyone else is trying to break in, eventually, they just blow the car up... with her in it.
*** The opening shot too, where a dog is licking its dead owner's [[EyeScream empty eye socket]].

* Narm: Whenever Oli's growls/screams/whichever would revert to his regular voice on ''Count Your Blessings''.

* MisattributedSong: "The Fear That Gave Me Wings" by Glory Of This.

** Each album put out breaks the base a bit more, but then came ''That's The Spirit''... [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh, dear god.]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse: They've gradually became this for metalcore.

%%* FauxSymbolism

** Definitely started happening to them when Sempiternal came out. Suddenly a bunch of metalcore bands started mixing their sound with electronic music.

** For ''That's The Spirit'', it's "Throne".

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: According to many, many fans when they {{Genre Shift}}ed from deathcore to metalcore, and only moreso when they began experimenting with NuMetal.

* [[HeReallyCanAct He Really Can Sing]]: It took four albums, but Oli finally sang clean vocals on ''Sempiternal''. It was worth the wait.

* FauxSymbolism

* {{Wangst}}

* [[CrowningMomentofFunny Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yywtE-fXvFU PSA]] at Leeds has to be seen to be believed.
** Also, "This is not an announcement. [[OurProductSucks This is a warning]]".
*** For their 2016 Australian tour: "[[https://www.facebook.com/bmthofficial/photos/a.152403978657.117120.51545473657/10153939725223658/?type=3&theater This is not a drill. Please try to remain calm]]".
** From the "Follow You" video: "Love is deaf, blind, and [[SophisticatedAsHell fucking dumb]]".
*** Hell, just the video itself; the protagonist happily singing and dancing through a HatePlague, because he's on his way to meet his girlfriend... [[CrossesTheLineTwice who turns out to be a zombie]].
** The Suicide season track "Football Season Is Over".
--> Where the fuck can I hail a taxi? Arm out '''LIKE A NAZI!'''

* TheScrappy: They are currently one of the most hated bands in the metal scene, if not one of the most hated metal bands in history. It's very hard to find a metalhead trying to defend them, and even harder to find one who admits to being a fan. You'd think that as a band that so few metalheads claim to like, that they'd get less recognition. The reasons behind their strong {{Hatedom}} aren't exactly known, though.
** BMTH has actually matured and refined their sound very much since their debut, and as of now they are actually a very mature and nuanced band with a strong sense of song craft. Their hatedom does not seem to descend from their music, but from their image, since metalheads tend to hate metal influenced bands with a non masculine image. In fact BMTH is currently one of the most innovated and experimental {{metalcore}} bands in general as of ''Sempiternal'', and is probably one of metalcore's biggest [[EnsembleDarkhorse Ensemble Darkhorses.]]

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: According to many, many (former?) fans.

* BrokenBase: After NewSoundAlbum ''Suicide Season''.

* WTHCastingAgency: Pop singer {{Lights}} guests on "Crucify Me" and "Don't Go".

* FaceOfTheBand: Frontman Oli Sykes. Lots of his female fans don't even listen to the band ([[PeripheryDemographic or heavy music at all]]). Also, it isn't terribly uncommon for an attempted conversation about the band to go a little like this: "Hey, uh, you ever heard of Bring Me The Horizon?" "Oh man, I [[LoveItOrHateIt hate/love]] ''that guy''!" That said, former guitarist Curtis Ward was pretty popular as well, probably thanks in part to being a bit of a LargeHam like Oli.

* HarsherInHindsight: The song "Deathbeds" is a duet between Oli and his then fiancee Hannah Snowdon about how they would spend the rest of their lives together... except their marriage lasted a little over a year before Oli apparently caught Hannah cheating on him.

** Their fates in the "Alligator Blood" video:

** For "Count Your Blessings" it was Pray For Plagues.
** For "Suicide Season" it was Chelsea Smile.
** For "There Is A Hell..." it was Blessed with a Curse or It Never Ends.
** For "Sempiternal" it was Shadow Moses, Can You Feel My Heart, or Sleepwalking.
** For "That's The Spirit", it's Throne.

** From the "Follow You" video: "Love is deaf, blind, and [[SophisticatedAsHell fucking dumb]]"

* TearJerker: "Suicide Season".
** "Don't Go" certainly qualifies, especially the interplay between Lights and Oli which is then followed by an epic and heart rendering guitar solo.
** "Visions".
** "Sleepwalking" from ''Sempiternal''.
*** Same could be said for "Hospital for Souls" of the same album.
*** "Can You Feel My Heart" may qualify, with lyrics like "I'm sorry brother, so sorry lover, forgive me father, I love you mother."
*** This line as well:
--> ''I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone''
--> ''[[DespairEventHorizon I long for that feeling to not feel at all]]''
--> ''The higher I get, the lower I sink''
--> ''[[SanitySlippage I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim]]''
** One of the bonus tracks on ''Sempiternal'', "Deathbeds", can definitely qualify. Oli's voice in that song... He sounds like he's trying hard to hold back tears.
** Most of ''That's the Spirit'' in general could qualify.

** "Sleepwalking" from ''Sempiternal''

* GrowingTheBeard: Each and every album by them is better than the former. ''There Is A Hell... There Is A Heaven'' has been lauded as this by journalists. ''Sempiternal'' even more so. Of course, ''That's the Spirit'' continued the trend.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While certainly popular in the UK, their American fan base might be even bigger. And yes, they're big in Japan too.

* WTHCastingAgency: Pop singer {{Lights}} guests on "Crucify Me" and "Don't Go".

* DeadHorseGenre: In an interview, Oli Sykes said that {{Deathcore}} has become one, hence the band's GenreShift to {{Metalcore}} for ''Suicide Season''.

* SignatureSong: "Throne".
