Can Oli Sykes Still Scream? Bring Me The Horizon Revisits Their Raw Roots!

Bring Me The Horizon is a famous rock band from Sheffield, England. They started their music journey in 2004 and quickly became known for their heavy and aggressive sound. Their first album, Count Your Blessings, was released in 2006 and was full of loud guitars and intense screaming from their lead singer, Oli Sykes. Now, 20 years later, the band has decided to re-record this album to celebrate its anniversary. This news has made fans both excited and curious. Many are wondering if Oli Sykes, who is now 39 years old, can still scream the way he did when he was a teenager. Screaming is a big part of the band's early music, and it takes a lot of energy and a strong voice. Oli has had some problems with his voice in the past, including an injury that made him cancel shows in 2019.

Another topic fans are talking about is the lyrics in the old songs. Some of the words have been called aggressive towards women, especially towards Oli's ex-girlfriends. Back in 2006, people did not talk about these things as much, but now fans are more aware. Sash Vee, a fan who started listening to the band after their later albums, says she likes the old songs because they show where the band started. She thinks the album is like a time capsule, but she also believes it would be good to update the lyrics if they are not okay anymore. She says, 'If you're going to have the opportunity to remaster something, then why not, let's update the lyrics as well. '

Oli Sykes talked about the new recording and said it was fun to go back to their roots. He remembers that when they first made the album, they did not have much experience and did not know how to get the sound they wanted. He said, 'There was no-one there helping us with BPMs and tempos and all that. We had no clue what we were doing. ' Now, with more experience, he thinks the new version will sound much better and be easier to listen to. He also said they did not change the songs too much because fans love them the way they are. Vocal coach Jade Maris explained that screaming can hurt your voice if you do it wrong, but there are safe ways to do it. She said, 'As long as you're practicing safely, you're checking in, as long as you don't feel any pain or discomfort, then generally it's safe to continue. ' The band will play the whole album live in Manchester in July, and fans are excited to hear how Oli's voice sounds now. The re-recorded Count Your Blessings will be released on July 10, and tickets for the concert are already on sale.
