"It's a Growl Thing"

This is a blog that focuses on metal, rock & hardcore/punk music. I'll be writing reviews on songs that I like, albums I love and concerts that I enjoyed! You'll find both new and old music here.
Bring Me The Horizon + Your Demise @ Trädgår’n, Gothenburg (11/5-12)

I haven’t done a review in aaaaaaaaages. I’ve been busy with loads of stuff and I’ve been quite lazy as well. Anyways, I went to see Bring Me The Horizon in Gothenburg and they brought Your Demise with them!

Your Demise: I knew who these guys were before the show, but I really hadn’t listened to them a lot. Before the show I listened to a couple of songs and thought it was pretty okay. Hardcore/Post-hardcorish. The crowd seemed to like them and they got them going pretty well from what I saw (I was up at the bar at the time and not on the floor for their set). It was a pretty good gig, they seemed to enjoy themselves and the singer was pretty good. 3/5


Bring Me The Horizon: The main act of the show! I’ve been looking forward to seeing them for about 5 months now and I was really excited to hear their new stuff live. They played 7 (!) songs from the new album (The set was 12 songs) and it was amazing. Oli Sykes’ voice was a lot better than last time I saw them at the Metaltown Festival 2011. The crowd was definitely good, a lot of moshpits and great sing-a-long parts. The band had a really tight sound and it sounded really great. The new tracks where really good live and it was fantastic hearing Empire (Let Them Sing) and The House of Wolves, since they are two of my favorite tracks of the album. The only song I missed from the new album was Seen It All Before. 
I was pretty disappointed that they only played 12 tracks, they could’ve easily done 16. The concert was pretty short, but I really enjoyed myself and it was fun. I came home with a black eye as well so all in all, great weekend! If you’re tempted to see Bring Me The Horizon, do it! 4/5
