Bring Me the Horizon

A happy Easter it was indeed for the wild fans of Britain’s Bring Me the Horizon. Smashing performances by New York’s post-hardcore band The Sleeping and Canada’s Straight Reads the Line set the scene for the young crew to excite the crowd with their explosive sound.
The night began with some inspiring words from The Sleeping’s front man, Douglas Robinson, as he told the crowd to “be open-minded about music and to show respect for all genres.” He explained that although the musicians play heavy metal, that’s not the only sound that exists.
But when the peace died down, all hell broke loose. Lights shut off as little girls screamed. BMTH hit the stage. The band performed five tracks off their latest album Suicide Season. Although guitarist Curtis Ward was not present due to his departure from the band, the group was highly successful at fulfilling the hyper, sweaty crowd with thrilling screams and riveting drums.
Profanities were shouted and the audience was out of control as many leaped their way onto the small stage. The quiet town was awakened.
The electrifying night would have slain the Easter bunny, but luckily, only left a holiday for young ones to remember.
