btw I said it on another video but this video is new so you should react to Spiritbox's new song Holy Roller, you won't regret it (btw yes it is the same guy, Oliver Sykes, he was like 18 or 19 when he made this song)
I know I keep adding on to my comment but to answer "how does he even have vocal cords" he actually stopped screaming as much a few years ago and that's why his newer music isn't as heavy, he had good technique after awhile but he did it for so long it messed up his throat. last year or so a fan at a concert begged him to scream in a song and he gave in but when he did it it messed up his throat baaaad and he had to stop from the pain
@@iakonasisler4808all rumours and lies.. watch the odd interview. you'll find out facts instead of fan made BS. He was self taught,the whole band were. But he actually contracted laryngitis whilst on tour,he was advised to end the tour and he refused. He ended up seriously hurting his vocals and having to stop the tour for alot longer. If you try screaming this song with little or no technique,you wouldn't get through a full song, let alone a set. He screams amazing live now though btw. Better than he's ever been live for all his vocal styles. Saw them 3 weeks ago, and they did diamonds aren't forever. And it was sooo good. He never used to warm up his vocals either didn't help, but he religiously warms them up now.
Always good to see people check out their older stuff. The evolution of different bands is always very intriguing. Most people only check things out from their newer sound and have no clue they used to go this hard!
@@mfales43he was self taught or 1, And he didn't do it incorrectly. If you just screamed this out without any technique, you wouldn't get through a full song,let alone a full set, and you'd be coughing and spluttering like an idiot. Try it. It hurts like a b1tch. The facts are,he contracted laryngitis whilst on tour, he was advised to end the tour,and he refused. Hence vocals done in. And they weren't blown out completely. He never used to warm his vocals up either,which is a must with any vocalist going on tour especially harsh vocals. This unable to scream properly is a fan made rumor.
This song was a HUGE deal back in 2007-2008. Oli had crazy range, and yes, he hurt his voice often. As for their change? They just grew up. The members of BMTH are actually young for how long they have been out. They have just matured and grown. Oli is only 33 now and they have been a band for like 15 years.
@@brysonxdboth great tunes. I'd be so bored with BMTH now if they still did the same old sh1te. Evolution is key to a great band. They still bring the heavy,but blend it beautifully with their more melodic sound.perfection 😘
@@brysonxd there's only Amo that was drastically different. That's the spirit has some amazing tunes on it. Lyrically amazing too. I didn't like Amo or that's the spirit at 1st. My daughter introduced me to the band with those 2 albums and I hated them. Then I heard Sempiternal and saw them for what they are. Just pure talent. I hated their older stuff too. But it's slowly grown on me. I've always been into metal/rock. But hated anything heavier than metallic in their thrash days. But BMTH have been the gateway for me to appreciate a much heavier sound. I would have Never listened to anything like suicide season 5 years ago. Just thought it was relentless screaming. And to thats their aim. Trying to get more rock into mainstream. They're nominated for Brit awards this year. And kool-aid got to number 20 in UK charts. And not the rock charts. That's unheard of. Nothing that heavy gets a chance.
Yes chris Bring Me The Horizon were the best at the time when they recorded their album count your blessings. This song pray for plagues is still one of my favourites & the other songs on this album are good aswell. Oli sykes's vocals were really good at the time but he has said in interviews that the band were young & they did not know what they were doing in the studio when they recorded this album everything was a mess & it was a dark time for the band. But luckily the band went back into the studio & recorded their second full length album suicide season which was much better then count your blessings because the band had changed up their sound from deathcore to metalcore & fans of the band still loved their sound although it was a massive shift in style for the band. Please react to diamonds aren't forever or the sadness will never end by the band both songs are absolutely amazing. Great reaction as always chris keep them coming.
this era wasn’t dark at all, they just had the scene look. in fact oli said one of the reasons the lyrics were so bad on this album was because they hadn’t experienced a very bad life to that point. it was around suicide season it really got dark
@@jeux2322 well Oli had experienced some bad shit. Terry Hurst effected hi pretty badly, but he didn't want to write about that at the time. Until they made there is a hell,vans by that time he'd lost a few more friends and moved onto drugs evt. . And they didn't care what they were singing about. They were just young and dumb at the time,with very little experience. All self taught. Which is pretty wild considering where they are today. ADHD and just wanted to vent and go nuts
Yeah, he's the same vocalist, in those days were very common that vocalist of any Screamo or desthcore band do growls or screams, that's why bmth became famous because of his brutal growls, as you say we loved him because of his demonic voice.
Yeah same vocalist...old BMTH was like this ever since Sempiternal they started evolving their sound and he started to sing more. Let’s see a Fakers Plague reaction by While She Sleeps 😀
They never made an album that sounded like a previous one, even their first ep's are different from the first album, the band didn't start with "sempiternal" and I could say that's where it started to end. Just watch the video showing how "parasite eve" was made, who explains the song to Matt is not Oliver or Jordan, it is Lee who has to explain to him what to play.
But nothing like "medusa" from one of their first ep, he did a pig squeal in the middle of the song Or the lyrics in "tell slater not to wash his d*ck"
The demo-version of medusa is of their first demo, not their ep. But i definetely like the album version of medusa better, because oli's inhale pig squeal sounds a bit cringy :D But tell Slater not to wash his dick has like the best breakdown in BMTH history!
Oli used to be addicted to Ketamine but he eventually went to rehab and got off it and then they recorded Sempiternal and there sound has never been the same since ...I still love them always will
Dude this album is so fucking good! I appreciate where they're at now, amo is great, but their first album is solid and sorely missed! Yeah that's the same vocalist for sure, Oli used to do things very differently back then
@@bradhuff5131 A matter of opinion of course, but both of those great albums are not solid to me. Some of their best material is spread between CYB and SS, but that's the era that hooked me. amo is the first album I feel that has reached this level of front to back consistency, every album in between is a little hampered by weaker tracks.
@@AwesomeBrickSauce Definitely not sustainable as Oli has shown, let alone from a commercial success standpoint. But I will always appreciate this album in their catalog and lament at least one similar followup, but I appreciate the evolution as well!
When Metalcore/Deathcore became popular in 2006-2009 this band was THE BAND, most popular band at the time. React to Tell Slater Not To Wash His Dick, best song on this album imho.
If only you could understand the lyrics lol and he did actually mess up his vocals at one point but I just saw them like two years ago and he can still scream pretty damn well
It's funny when people react to their old stuff. I was a teenage hardcore kid in 2007 when I saw them at the local american legion. This is Oli Sykes the same vocalist. Every guy wanted to be him and every girl wanted to be with him.
Been in love with BMTH since I first heard Deathbeds in 2014. There isn't an album or ep I don't like. Also, WHAT is that song you're playing during your reaction outro?! I am digging iiiit.
This is the BMTH I was never a fan of, but back then I was never really into these sorts of screams I might like it now but I’m always going to be a fan of the newer BMTH more, Sempiternal onwards 😊
5:00 Fun fact Ollie seriously damaged and fucked up his vocal chords because back in the day he didn't have proper technique so maybe thats what ur hearing and sensing.
Dude his screaming technique is fine the problem is he pushed himself too far live without being well practiced. People need to seriously stop saying this its old as shit
Nice!!! Welcome to the bring me the horizon old school!! Personally I prefer this old BMTH it's the way I knew this band .... One suggestion or two, the next one should be alligator blood or the comedown
Poor Oli lost his vocals and had to go to rehab for that. That’s why BMTH went from heavy to the softer stuff they they play now. But Oli claimed this year was “the year of the guttural” so I’m sure we might be hearing some old Oli screams if he can do it.
honestly though i'd stop listening to bmth when their songs stopped sounding like this so i continue to surprise myself with every new album of theirs that i still like ahahahah this was really good to listen to and sing when you're a teenager who's mad at the whole world bc no one understands you lol
Oh finally someone reacting to GOOD BMTH lol Not that poppy crap they are making now. This album (Count Your Blessings), the album before (This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For, 4-song ep) and album after (Suicide Seasons) were all great. They started changing a ton starting with the next album. They started going toward more "Party" sounding metal in Suicide Seasons, but it was still good. Like still deathcore, but much more "destroy shit during a killer house party from being wasted outta your mind" deathcore. There's a video for Chelsea Smile, the second song on that album. It's literally a house party for the video, which sums up what I meant. And yes. The same vocalist. Oliver Sykes. These vocals are commonplace in deathcore and most extreme metal. Hell, most death metal uses harder to do screams than they do.

Try doing a song off each album to see their progression. For the next album called suicide season do the song Chelsea smile or diamonds aren’t forever
Well there is tons like this out there. Just check out bands like Whitechapel, Suicide Silence or Carnifex. They did similar stuff to what BMTH did on their first Album, but in better record-quality :D
You NEED to react to Gojira man, best metal band amongst us today hands down. Please check out Heaviest Matter of the Universe, the live version or even lyrics, they are INSANE live
Yes dude that’s the same vocalist olí Sykes this was the only album that I liked came out in 2006 I never listened to them anymore cause you know they change so much but this album is sick! The only good album they have
Yeah that's Oli alright, he didn't know how to growl properly when they first started and he blew his focal chords very fast, you can hear his growls weakening in every album, it's just recently starting to come back after years of proper training
Lmfaoooooo yesss it's Oli just before he blew out his vocal cords and changed their sound before Suicide Season album. Not your cup of Tea?? God, you're weak 😅😅
Yeeaaa, old BMTH is a whole different animal. Welcome to heavy
Pray for Plagues? Oh boy here we go
