Approaching maturity with fifth album ‘That’s the Spirit’
From out of Sheffield, in Britain, the youngsters from Bring Me The Horizon are setting a course for other musical horizons with their brand new fifth LP “ That’s the Spirit ” (release 11/09). They swapped label Epitaph Records for Columbia Records, flagship of major Sony Music Entertainment, and did the same with the breakdowns and screams drenched metal-/deathcore that they’d been so successful with.
With the arrival of newest band member Jordan Fish (keyboards, vocals & producing) on previous alum ‘ Sempiternal ’, synth lines and orchestral elements had already crept into the songs and now the guys have totally fallen for a more poppy approach that leans in the direction of indie- and alternative-rock. Music mag Rolling Stone described it like this: “ That's the Spirit sounds more Muse and Linkin Park than Metallica and Lamb of God ”, while figurehead Oli Sikes, who sings noticeably more than he screams, mentioned in Britain’s NME that the album is a sort of conceptual reflection of the darker, more depressive side of life. With influences from bands like Jane’s Addiction, Panic! At the Disco, Interpol and Radiohead.
