The new Bring Me The Horizon song is sweet

Like most guys who grew up listening to metal I towed the line and totes hated on BMTH for being stylish emo pretty boys and not real, ugly, hairy metal dudes. Then I saw them support Killswitch Engage in 2007 and holy shiz they could bring it live. I didn't have an epiphany and fall in love with them or anything, I just realised that it didn't matter what they looked like, they could bring the mosh. Soon after they released Suicide Season but it wasn't until a year or so after this that I got into that album. In many ways it is the perfect scene mosh album and if you haven't given it a fair shot I think you should. Especially if you're into working out and being angry at the world in 30 minute outbursts. There are breakdowns all over the gaf and his range of vocals is great.
Lol, U MAD? 'The Lord of Sorrow'

After that they brought out There Is A Hell... but I was let down a little by it. Maybe it was because I went from not caring about the band to being interested and now had great expectations, maybe because the sound quality on the torrent I got wasn't up to scratch, I don't know, either way I figured Suicide Season was a great album and that was that.

But then, out of nowhere (to me at least, I wasn't paying attention to them) comes Shadow Moses! My goth, that perfect for arena mosh chorus, the breakdowns, the vaguely (gasp) punk verse, the slipknot-esque parts, and of course THIS IS SEMPITERNAL! This rules, more like.


What's funny is that regular metal dudes seem to like this song and in doing so hate themselves for it! Win!
