British rock band Bring Me the Horizon has recorded material for seven studio albums and two commercial releases, the most recent being Post Human: Survival Horror, released in 2020. The band was formed in Sheffield, South Yorkshire in 2004 by Oli Sykes, guitarists Lee Malia and Curtis Ward, bassist Matt Kean and drummer Matt Nicholls. The band independently released their demo album The Bedroom Sessions locally in mid-2004, gaining some local traction until they were noticed by several labels and were signed to Visible Noise and Thirty Days of Night. Via the labels, they released their debut EP This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For on Visible Noise in late 2004 in Australia and 2005 in their home country where it reached number 41 on the UK Budget Albums Chart and was branded as deathcore by critics.[1][2] Their subsequent debut album Count Your Blessings continued this sound and was released in 2006, it ended up cracking the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number 93 and debuting inside the top ten of the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart. Due to the hype surrounding the band in online circles on platforms such as MySpace, they gained a quick following with the release of singles such as "Pray for Plagues" and "For Stevie Wonder's Eyes Only (Braille)", which lead to them being presented the 2006 Kerrang! Award for "Best British Newcomer" shortly after the album's release.[3] The band would later fizzle out their early deathcore sound with the release of their follow-up second album Suicide Season in 2008 that would more prominently be known as metalcore, it would also end up becoming their first album to chart on the US Billboard 200.[4] The album would also feature their first collaborations such as Sam Carter of Architects and JJ Peters of Deez Nuts. In 2009, Ward left the band due to personal differences, with rhythm guitarist Jona Weinhofen joining in his place.[5]

In 2010, the band entered the studio for the third time to record There Is a Hell Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven Let's Keep It a Secret.. It was released that October to mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised the symphonic experimentation while they primarily retained the metalcore influences from Suicide Season. In 2013, Weinhofen left the band while new keyboardist Jordan Fish joined the band, reinventing their sound and introducing electronic elements as heard on their fourth studio album Sempiternal (2013) that was released to universal acclaim among fans and critics alike. It became a commercial success, being their first UK Top 5 album peaking at number 3, number 11 in the US while also topping the Australian Albums Chart and UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart for the second consecutive album running. The lead single "Shadow Moses", became the first song by the band to reach the Top 100 on the UK Singles Chart, while the other singles "Can You Feel My Heart" and "Sleepwalking" experienced similar success by being certified silver, gold and platinum in several markets.
In 2015, the band released their fifth studio album That's the Spirit, which to date is their greatest commercial release worldwide. It spawned its first platinum-selling record in the UK for 300,000 units, while also being certified Gold in the US and several other markets. It also marked the turn in a commercial mainstream rock sound for the band, which aided their first UK Top 40 hit in "Drown" where it peaked at number 17, that remains as their highest charting hit in their home country to this day. "Throne" became the first song by the band to go platinum in the UK as certified by the British Phonographic Industry. Only one of the seven released singles failed to be certified by the BPI, "Oh No".
The band later released their sixth studio album Amo and the first commercial release Music to Listen To... in 2019. The subsequent releases marked the transition for the band as pop rock. Amo's lead single "Mantra", as well as the album as a whole, was the first released material by the band to be nominated at the Grammy Awards.[6] It became their first chart-topping album in the UK, followed by their most recent commercial release Post Human: Survival Horror which spawned three UK Top 40 hits in the likes of "Parasite Eve", "Obey" in collaboration with British singer Yungblud, and "Teardrops". Survival Horror is the first of four commercial releases under the Post Human banner. The follow-up Nex Gen was released as their seventh studio album in May 2024.
