Few bands have undergone such a diverse genre journey as Bring Me The Horizon. Starting with Count Your Blessings in 2006, they’ve proven with every album how a band can continuously evolve and grow through bold sonic experimentation. From metalcore and deathcore to full-on pop tracks - BMTH have done it all.
Today we’re presenting our top 16 Bring Me The Horizon songs - check to see if your personal favorites made the cut!
It Never Ends
We’re kicking things off with a song from the 2010 album There Is a Hell Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There Is a Heaven Let’s Keep It a Secret. “It Never Ends” is one of the first tracks that comes to mind when thinking of the album’s tracklist - not only because it was the first single. The song shines with expertly woven electronic elements, combined with the raw energy of early BMTH releases and equally intense lyrics.
Blessed With A Curse
“Blessed With A Curse” follows as the second-to-last track on the same album, making its personal lyrics and comparatively calm sound all the more unforgettable.
Go To Hell, For Heaven’s Sake
With Sempiternal (2013), we first saw the influence of Jordan Fish, who would later become deeply involved in their production (until 2023). On “Go To Hell, For Heaven’s Sake,” his synth-driven atmosphere is unmistakable - one of many tracks from the album that helped push BMTH higher in the charts.
Mantra
“Mantra,” the first single from Amo (2019), takes a different direction entirely. The whole album marks a major genre shift that not all fans and critics embraced. It’s far less heavy and much more pop-leaning, and “Mantra” is the perfect example of this softer sound - but still undeniably BMTH, and completely gripping even without screams. Oli Sykes' vocal evolution plays a huge role in that.
Drown
“Drown” is nothing short of an anthem - though BMTH has quite a few of those in their catalog. Once again, it’s a first single - this time from the 2015 album That’s The Spirit. It’s one of the most listened-to songs among BMTH fans, and even though this unexpectedly melodic side was brand new at the time, the emotional rollercoaster it delivers makes it unforgettable.
LosT
Fast forward to POST HUMAN: NeX GEn (2024)! We got to hear quite a few singles before the full album dropped - “LosT” among them. The lyrics may be far from happy, but the song itself is a ton of fun. From this release onward, the band is no longer working with Jordan Fish, making the sound of their next record all the more intriguing.
DArkSide
Another fan-favorite from the new album, “DArkSide” stays dark and personal lyrically, but as always, BMTH manage to turn heavy topics into massive anthems.
Parasite Eve
On POST HUMAN: Survival Horror (2020), “Parasite Eve” stands out as an absolute highlight with serious addictive potential. From the stunning intro (recorded with a Bulgarian choir) to the menacing verses and the alarming chorus, this track pulls you straight into the world of "Parasite Eve". Ironically, it was written during the time of the approaching COVID-19 pandemic.
liMOusine
Not one of the most-streamed songs from NeX GEn, but one that definitely deserves more attention. It slows things down and stands out with its heavy, haunting melodies. The moody atmosphere is beautifully completed by the feature from Aurora.
AmEN! (feat. Lil Uzi Vert & Daryl Palumbo)
We’re staying with the new album that gave us so much fresh BMTH material. “AmEN!” wastes no time - it’s the hardest-hitting track on the record. And with features from Lil Uzi Vert and Daryl Palumbo, you get everything at once: screams, melodic clean vocals, a catchy chorus, and rap.
n/A
A track that never became a single, but with its dark humor and guaranteed earworm status, it absolutely belongs on any top list. It may start off slow, but really picks up steam - definitely a song for rough days, one that might even leave you grinning by the end.
Sleepwalking
Back to Sempiternal - because we absolutely can’t leave out the album’s second single, “Sleepwalking.” Sitting right on the edge of the mainstream, this track revealed a side of BMTH that brought in countless new fans.
Kingslayer
Things get wild here. Bring Me The Horizon blend their heaviest sound with an energetic party beat and a guest appearance by Japanese band Babymetal. The result? A track that makes you want to dance, headbang, and sing along - all at once. Live, “Kingslayer” is a must-have on the setlist, even when Babymetal can’t join them.
Shadow Moses
You only need to hear the first line to get pulled right back into this live favorite: “Can you tell from the look in our eyes?” The first single from Sempiternal also hits hard with fans of Metal Gear Solid, not just for the intro melody, but also for the title - Shadow Moses Island is a fictional location in the game.
Can You Feel My Heart?
If it isn't the Bring Me The Horizon anthem, then what is. From unforgettable live moments to viral memes, this song has been everywhere since 2013 and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It’s the powerful opener to what many consider BMTH’s most iconic album - we're talking about Sempiternal, of course.
Throne
We wrap up the list with “Throne.” While Sempiternal rightfully gets heaps of praise, That’s The Spirit deserves its flowers too. “Throne” is a perfect showcase of everything BMTH had learned about their own sound up to that point.
