Bring Me the Horizon was formed in March 2004 after all the founding
members, who had all been a part of several local and separately defunct
bands were noticed by Thirty Days of Night Records and formed the band while signing them, being the first band ever signed to the label.[1][3] In the months following their formation Bring Me the Horizon created a demo album, titled Bedroom Sessions,
featuring two songs that would be re-recorded for their debut release.
The demo featured three tracks: Shed Light / Metal Song, Who Want's
Flowers When You're Dead? Nobody. and an instrumental version of
Rawwwrr![3] The band's name is derived from the final line of the film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, in which Captain Jack Sparrow says "Now, bring me that horizon."[4][5]
The group released their first EP, This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For
on 2 October 2004. The EP was recorded in Nottingham over the course of
two weekends, recording the drums and bass guitar in the first weekend
and then guitars and vocals in the second weekend in the studio.[6] It was re-released on 20 January 2005 through Visible Noise.[1] The re-release of the EP gained the band a significant amount of attention, peaking at 41 on the UK album charts.[7]
In 2006 Bring me the horizon was awarded Best British Newcomer at the 2006 Kerrang! Awards ceremony.[3] They released their debut, full-length album Count Your Blessings
in October 2006 in the United Kingdom and in August 2007 in the United
States. Across late November and December 2006 Bring Me the Horizon
accompanied Lostprophets and The Blackout in a UK tour.[8] In January 2007 Bring Me the Horizon replaced Bury Your Dead on Killswitch Engage's
European headline tour. The slot as a support was offered as Bury Your
Dead withdrew from the tour because of their vocalist, Mat Bruso,
leaving the band.[9]
