What
a great moment I caught there to write about Bring Me The Horizon
when their new album is released (go and buy it right now!!), I'm
already drowning in my feelings because this album is the best thing
that happened so far this year apart from Fall Out Boy coming off
hiatus.
This time I know exactly how I got into the band. I was just looking through my tags on tumblr when I saw a pic of Oli. If I haven't mentioned it yet: I have a huge weakness for tattoos and since Oli is covered in them from head to toe I wanted to find out more about him and his band. Again I already knew Bring Me The Horizon but I also knew that they're heavier than the bands I usually listened to. Nevertheless I gave them a shot and thought to myself “well, this is a little bit too much screaming for me“. However, they kept going around in my mind, I literally had the urge to listen to them even though I didn't really like it. This is probably the weirdest experience I ever had with a band because in the end I listened to them when I hit rock bottom and suddenly everything made total sense to me. I lost count of the times I cried while listening to It Never Ends and Don't Go and actually felt better afterwards because it's like Oli understands you. Maybe I interpret songs too much and lyrics and everything but music is the only thing on this crazy planet that makes sense to me so I stick to it. I mean, how can you not believe that Oli understands when he screams into your ear: “We all have our horrors and our demons to fight but how can I win when I'm paralysed? They crawl up on my bed, wrap their fingers round my throat, is this what I get for the choices that I made?“
There are more of these brilliant lyrics I clinge to whenever I need it and I feel like there are a million things left unsaid but I honestly don't know how to put my feelings for this band into words, so I'm just gonna say thanks to Bring Me The Horizon for keeping me sane when I'm about to lose it.

I
will write a proper review for Sempiternal when it's finally mine (in
two weeks.......) and analyse each word of every song because as far
as I can tell (thanks to Spotify by the way) there's a lot of amazing
stuff waiting for me to be worked with.
