Bring Me the Horizon (BMTH) is een metalband uit de Engelse plaats Sheffield (Yorkshire).

Bring Me the Horizon werd opgericht in 2004; de bandleden kwamen uit verschillende groepen. De band gebruikt elementen van hardcore punk en heavy metal in hun muziek, waardoor hun genre omschreven wordt als metalcore. Met het uitbrengen van "That's the Spirit" in 2015 waren veel fans ontevreden omdat het te 'Pop' zou zijn voor waar de band voor staat. In een interview in 2017 heeft de band aangegeven weer een stap terug te gaan met hun nieuwe album waardoor het misschien wat gaat lijken op "Sempiternal".

De naam is afgeleid van de film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl waar Jack Sparrow aan het einde zegt "Now, bring me that horizon"

De band heeft een contract met Epitaph Records, voorheen hadden ze een contract met Visible Noise Records & Thirty Days Of Night Records. Zij waren destijds de eerste band die zich contracteerde bij dat label.

Bring Me the Horizon heeft in het begin van 2008 een tweede studioalbum geschreven, en opgenomen. In mei en april waren ze in Zweden met Fredrik Nordstrom, die gewerkt heeft met bands als At the Gates, Arch Enemy, I Killed the Prom Queen en Dimmu Borgir. Het album werd uitgegeven op 29 september 2008. In 2010 brachten ze het album ''There Is A Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is A Heaven, Let's Keep It A Secret''. (afgekort, "There is a Hell..") Nadat gitarist Jona Weinhofen was vervangen door toetsenist Jordan Fish bracht de band in 2013 het album "Sempiternal" uit. Dit album werd gezien als het album dat Bring Me the Horizon op de "Front stage" zette. Twee jaar later bracht de band in 2015 het album "That's the Spirit" uit.

Bring Me the Horizon are a British rock band, formed in Sheffield, England in 2004. The group currently consists of lead vocalist Oli Sykes, drummer Matt Nicholls, guitarist Lee Malia and bassist Matt Kean. They are signed to RCA Records globally and Columbia Records exclusively in the United States.

The band released their debut album Count Your Blessings in 2006. Upon release, the album's deathcore sound polarised listeners, and was largely met with critical disdain. The band began to break away from this sound with their second album Suicide Season (2008), which was considered a creative, critical and commercial turning point for the band. Bring Me the Horizon released their third album, There Is a Hell Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven Let's Keep It a Secret., in 2010, propelling them to greater international fame, whilst incorporating influences from classical music, electronica and pop. Their major label debut, Sempiternal, (2013) achieved Gold certification in Australia (35,000) and Silver in the United Kingdom (60,000). That's the Spirit (2015) debuted at number two in the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200. Their sixth studio album Amo (2019) became their first UK chart-topper. In the same year, the band also released Music to Listen To... (2019). Post Human: Survival Horror followed in 2020, the first in a planned series of four projects under the Post Human name, with the second installment, Post Human: Nex Gen, released as their seventh studio album in May 2024. The band have also released two extended plays and two live albums. They have received seven Kerrang! Awards, including two for Best British Band and one for Best Live Band, a BRIT Award for Best Rock/Alternative Act and have been nominated for two Grammy Awards. The band has sold over 5 million records worldwide, and have topped the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart with songs such as "Throne", "Drown", "Mantra", "Parasite Eve", "Teardrops", and "Kool-Aid".

The style of their early work, including their debut album Count Your Blessings, has been described primarily as deathcore, but over the course of several albums, the band has shifted its style and moved in a more melodically-oriented direction by combining their approach to metalcore with elements of electronica, pop and hip hop.
