SYWH reader Lincoln awared us to this facepalm-y story on NME:
Bring Me The Horizon have said that post-rock bands like Explosions In The Sky and This Will Destroy You are set to be a big influence on their fourth studio album.
The band are soon set to begin work on the follow-up to ‘There Is A Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There Is A Heaven, Let’s Keep It A Secret’ and are likely to be back in the studio by summer 2012, with guitarist Jona Weinhofen revealing that he and guitarist Lee Malia have been getting inspired by post-rock for their new material.
Weinhofen told Alternative Press: “Lee and I are listening to a lot of post-rock lately. It might sound strange, but we listen to this laid-back, epic music and think ‘If this was heavy – if we made metal out of this kind of music – it would be exactly what we want to sound like”.
The guitarist also said that the band have “really big aspirations” for their fourth album, but they haven’t got much written for the record as yet.
If this isn’t proof that 2012 will be all about the No Fun Club, I don’t know what is. On the bright side, it will be really funny to see Tumblrsluts and former scenebros continue their transformation into hipster fggts.

Bring Me The Horizon will now be accepted by IMNs EVERYWHERE
nah, IMNs still think they are a generic deathcore band. It’ll take at least 2-3 more albums before they actually gain acceptance. IMNs are hard to convince of things. Try telling them that Mastodon were better before all the singing. The butthurt is awe inspiring.
JFAC has been a straight-up Decapitated clone and breakdown-free for like 4-5 years, and IMNs STILL associate them with pig squeals and deathcore. BMTH is forever cursed no matter how they change, unless they change their name and look.
I am a fairly big IMN and I think Mastodon were better before all the singing.
emmanuel by august burns red is the best post metal ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9n4dY4PbE8
if they keep sludge out of it ill be down for it 100%
keep me posted!
No. Just… no.
I’m so glad someone will FINALLY make heavy, mostly instrumental, “epic” music. That’s never been done before.
And not only that, a band as talented as BMTH will be at the helm!
next week: details on Suiside Silence’s new drone/power electronics album
skrillex invents drum and bass
“we got really into Bastard Noise & Sunn O)))))”
There’s so many things wrong with this comment, I don’t even know where to begin. This has been a thing since the late 80s/early 90s with Neurosis, and there have been so many bands that play this kind of music. Your claim that “this has never been done before” only shows how hopelessly ignorant you are about anything even remotely related to metal. And I won’t even touch “a band as talented as BMTH…” for reasons stated above.
U ‘really get what this blog is all about’
You really understand this site, don’t ya buddy.
Guise, I think someone forgot to issue this faggot with a sarcasm detector.
A wild IMN appears!
Wild IMN used “undeserved sense of superiority”!!!
it’s not very effective…
Devin Townsend, i choose you!
Hahahahhahahahah!
@ABR… Whoosh: noun; The sound of a joke going way the hell over somebody’s head.
*cough*
Animals As Leaders, Chon, The Wiggles…
“Epic” music/bands that are heavy but are instrumentally inclined that have been around for awhile lol
So, wait. They’re basically just going to rip off Deafheaven?
Hopefully they’ll rip off Amia Venera Landscape. Mosh + basic post-rock so hipsters love it.
Move over Neurosis, BMTH is here
They should go back to beeing deatcore pronto!
+1
I know I’m probably beating off a dead horse here, but Count Your Blessings>>>>>>>>
BMTH IS EVOLVING!
SOMEONE QUICKLY PRESS B
I love post shit like Amia Venera Landscape and all that. Also, Suiside Season is the best BMTH album, by far. DAT GITAR TONE
This will probably be my 2012 album of the year (srs) NFG>
They announced on their Facebook a day or two ago that “the chill out record has been cancelled due to label issues”
“Fuck, I’m so bummed!!!” – nobody
Looks guys, it’s great that you want to try new things, but you got famous off open A chugging, that’s where your strength is, just stick with it. Now go out there and sell some more hoodies so we can eat.
-The Management
consultant: “But sir, our research indicates that sales of neon are down 40% this quarter. I’m not saying we have to go full hipster, but clearly SOMETHING must be done!!”
We need to up the “Oli Sykes Ratio” on our merch by at least 50%. If Austin Carlisle can sell incredibly gay shirts with his face on it, WE CAN TOO!
*applause from everyone at the brainstorming sesh*
I think this is referring to the remix album slated for release on New Year’s. Either way I’m still interested in what BMTH sounds like trying to write 10 minute songs
There’s a good chance I will unironically like it, I’m a sucker for that kind of gay shit.
I really like Pelican a lot, you guys.
Maybe this won’t be so bad.
Scale the Summit?
i see what you did there
Post-cascadian tumblrcore?
Gotta mention that This Will Destroy You and Explosions in the Sky are the most entry-level basic post-rock bands. BMTH will probably hype up their album as totally post-rock to lure in hipsters, have like two post rocky outros and an interlude, and then just sound exactly like their last album.
Which wouldn’t really bother me that much. As long as it makes me want to headbang while listening to it NFG.
I don’t know what all this “post” shit means, but at least they aren’t trying to go true hardcore.
they already did that
Post-rock is “rock instrumentation without the rock aspect” so basically just “intricate and nuanced music.” Now I dig it when I want to chill but it most certainly is NOT fun music and you want to avoid it when getting drunk. Boring ass shit.
Its cool that the kids have a band that’s willing to change into hipsters with them. I had to do it alone
From what I’ve seen its a pretty even split. When There is a hell… released most of the girls at my school thought it was “omg sooooo deep and introspective” and most of the guys were saying “I liked them better when they played real metal”. As a casual listener I found both groups pretty lulzy.
U ONLY LIVE ONCE SO GO FVCK A DOG…. my bad, wrong band….
AND KILL YOUR MOTHER!!!………..or…not….
“In b4 live photos of Sunn O)) with “WUMMMMMMMMMMM” on top in varsity font and BMTH approach Crazy Town-like levels of trolling by doing an ISIS cover.”
Lost my shit at this one. And when they said something about post-rock but metal.. Fucking post-metal, man.
i think itll work. Its not like theyre gonna be a full on post rock band. Next step for srscore
IMO it wouldnt be that huge of a curveball if hardcore went all post metal in the next few years. Isis released Oceanic 10 years ago, and that is when post-metal became a ‘real’ subgenre of metal. According to the law of hardcore ripping off metal that came out 10 years ago, we are right on time. Looking forward to Suicide Silence’s new concept album about the totalitarian police state as told through a clumsy metaphor.
Also, there is no way that any deathcore band would be acceptable by IMN standards before 2020. It takes at least 10 years for a once-hated band to become acceptable to like.
What? Most of those “post-metal” bands are a bunch of ex-straightedge hardcore guys gone hipster, aping Neurosis and Mogwai but managing to be even more pretentious. Isis was called metalcore when that Poison Eggs ep came out. Not a new thing at all.
I swear to god, if they cover isis…
You’ll post a lengthy, stangry, butthurt review, detailing each particular thing that you hate about the cover, followed by two paragraphs about why 20 million scene kids have got it wrong, and only you know “real music”
<3 you IMN's
A+
Name sarcasm not detected.
Fuck your sacred cow band. Aaron Turner is a youth crew jock and Hydrahead ripped off Buzzoven.
BOOM
Moving mountains already plays post rock geared towards tumblrsluts.
But they only get heavy for like one song. More for tr00 pop punk bros who want some long post-rock songs.
Holy shit, haven’t listened to these guys in ages. Did anyone ever notice they’re named after a Thrice song?
they toured with thrice a few months ago and all
i liked them best when they were tbdm/atg-core xD
When was that? Can’t seem to ever recall any of their albums being melodeath, or anywhere near it.
that’s why he added “core” at the end of the comparison
/watch?v=pWwfu-Mu8i4 ;)
Honestly, I saw this coming with the last album. Listen to Crucify Me, listen to the melodic break in It Never Ends (“if we make it through the night… if we make it out alive…”)
and honestly, I welcome this change. It’s natural to get old and want to start making more “mature” and “serious” music because, honestly, what musician wants to be playing their teenage/early 20s angst shit into their 30s and 40s? (inb4johnathandavis)
lol @ mature and serious…
I actually like Explosions In the Sky…now I’m gonna have to worry about tumblrsluts ruining that for me.
Even when I was in my post rock phase I thought this band was terrible :(
I was never into the band but HOLY SHIT, this is both fucking hilarious and depressing. Depressing because I’ll never get to go to a show full of tumblrsluts to try and have some fun with (they’ll all be srs and “deep” now) and hilarious because…LOL! Man, I don’t even know how to react.
Also, lol @ another post-rock band. There’s like so fucking many already on bandcamp.
And yet another band follows Thursday’s footsteps and get themselves 10/10 ratings on Absolutepunk.com forums. The said band members pull off beardo looks on photo ops.
ugh, this exactly
Srsly though,here’s what I get from their entire discography:
2004-”This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For” – OMG U GUISE,HAVE YOU HEARD NORMA JEAN!!!?!??!?!
2007-”Count your blessings”-OMG U GUISE HAVE YOU HEARD TBDM!??!?!??!?!?!?!(on a side note,there are some decent breakdowns here and there)
2010-”Suicide Season”(and i may be wrong here,but still)-OMG U GUISE HAVE YOU HEARD EMMURE?!!?!? (srsly though,listen to Goodbye to the gallows before Suicide Season;no fucks given tho,since ss is their best album so far-the breakdowns are sweet!)
2011-”Тhere’s a hell..bla bla bal” omg you guise we’re srs muzishuns nao…(lol at Oli for namedropping Pink Floyd as an influence on this album;tbh i haven’t listen to it in it’s entirety- i pretty much gave up when i saw Sykes floating around with his douchestache)
And while I’m on the britishcore subject,WTF HAPPENED WITH AOAA?!?!?
“Pig squeals are in this year”(2007) => “We’re so gonna come out as srs death metal on the next album,just you wait”(2008) => “lol,told ya”(2010) => “guise,hello,partycore…..anyone?”
cool story bro
Lol self-zinging?
obviously xD
see: Sioum
inb4 Oli Sykes grows a beard and gets fat to fit in with his new scene.
I like bmth though, so I’ll probably buy this.
Like, as if Devil Sold His Soul never done anything like that. Without bothering giants like Isis, Pelican or even Neurosis, DSHS are a fairly recent band that completely got the ”dreamy/epic post-rock + pissed off metal” vibe. And they’re english, like BMTH. On a side note, they also must be same age. Oli, you and the bunch are dreadfully late. P.s. Check DSHS 2010 opus! It’s good!
In that article they state they if they could just make that sound heavy. They would get what they want. Apparently these guys are not dwelling too deep into post rock at all because they are citing the two most well known post rock bands (still very good bands mind you.) But do they not realize that Post rock already has a metal counter part. Way better than however these guys probably plan to fuck it up. For instance.
