Oli Sykes is not one to bite his tongue, & when it comes to music, Bring Me the Horizon take no prisoners. One of the most polarising & eclectic bands to emerge from the UK rock scene, Bring Me the Horizon have refused to sit still. Taking their sound from its brutal roots & bonecrunching riffs to ever more unexpected places, they have expanded the horizons of their own music whilst fighting their way from niche scene-clubs to main stages worldwide.

Behind the noise, there is a restless, pulsing creative spirit which, coupled with a brilliant business acumen; saw the band break out of the underground to become a sensation.

Together, they have been through hell, & have come out the other side swinging. For Bring Me the Horizon, the sky is the limit now. ...
