There is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen it, There is a Heaven, Let's Keep it a Secret

Bring Me The Horizon are defining the sound of modern metal. The Sheffield band's third full-length album - the snappily titled 'There is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen it, There is a Heaven, Let's Keep it a Secret' - is the sound of one of the UK's most exciting bands fulfilling their true potential and taking their unique brand of heavy music to urgent, exciting and dark new levels.

After the commercial and critical success of previous album 'Suicide Season' (2008), BMTH were determined to explore the more experimental side of their music, refusing to be confined to the unwritten rules of the Metalcore scene that spawned and catapulted them to worldwide domination. From the progressive opening riff and digital manipulation of choristers in the epic "Crucify Me", to the violins of "Don't Go", to instrumental track "Memorial", it quickly becomes clear that this is an album like no other.

"Since the release of 2008's Suicide Season, Bring Me The Horizon has been catapulted into the forefront of the modern metalcore scene, garnering many fans. With 'There is a Hell...' everything has improved - the songwriting, the compositions, and especially the lyrics. Debauchery was the general gist of Suicide Season, whereas some of the themes of There is a Hell revolve around the consequences of that album. While Sykes lyrics remain as vague as ever, they've never been as vulnerable. Throughout the album, he struggles with his inner demons, thus the title. It immediately begins with the vicious six-and-a-half minute opener, "Crucify Me." The beauty is in the contrast. From the changes in tempo to the vocal exchanges between Sykes and guest vocalist Lights, your attention never wanders off.

Forget what you know about Bring Me The Horizon, as 'There is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen it, There is a Heaven, Let's Keep it a Secret' will destroy any and all preconceived notions about the band. The aggression and passion that bleed from each song will stay with you, making this record instantly relatable. The sonic evolution of the group is remarkable, and the dark, introspective lyrics of Oli Sykes will not only be cathartic for him, but for many."
