RANKED: The top 10 Bring Me The Horizon Songs

Bring Me the Horizon have spent nearly two decades evolving from heavy deathcore

pioneers to genre-blending rock giants. With massive hits, emotional anthems, and unpredictable shifts in sound, they've created one of the most exciting catalogs in modern

rock. As they gear up to headline Reading and Leeds Festival this summer, here are 10

essential tracks that define their journey.

10) Pray for Plagues

Where it all began: pure deathcore mayhem. “Pray for Plagues” is messy, brutal, and utterly

unhinged—exactly what BMTH fans craved in 2006. While it doesn’t represent where the

band is now, it’s the chaotic DNA behind everything that followed. It’s raw, untamed, and

essential history.

9) DiE4u

“DiE4u” is BMTH at their genre-blending best. A mix of emo, pop, and cyberpunk fever

dream, it’s glitchy, infectious, and darkly catchy. Lyrically, it’s a tale of toxic love and self-destruction, a sleek anthem that bridges Post Human and amo with confidence—personal enough for longtime fans but polished for a new generation.

8) Shadow Moses

A fan favorite and a game-changer. “Shadow Moses” marked the moment BMTH stepped

into the big leagues, merging raw intensity with electronic textures. That chant—“This is

Sempiternal!”—is still a festival staple, and it’s one of the tracks that solidified their place in

the modern rock pantheon.

7) Chelsea Smile

“Chelsea Smile” is the epitome of the scene era. The riffs are massive, the vocals are manic,

and the breakdowns are relentless. It’s violent, ridiculous, and has stood the test of time, still

delivering an electrifying punch every time it’s played.

6) Drown

With Drown, BMTH took a huge risk—and nailed it. Stripped of the typical screams, it’s raw,

vulnerable, and anthemic. It’s the track you play when you’re falling apart but still want to

scream your heart out. Stadium-sized in its emotional weight, it showed a different side of

the band and became an instant classic.

5) Can You Feel My Heart

From the first haunting note, Can You Feel My Heart grabs you. A perfect blend of synth-pop

sadness and rock grit, it became a viral hit long after its release. It’s atmospheric, honest,

and one of the band’s most defining tracks—a true fan favorite that’s both dark and deeply

relatable.

4) Kool-Aid

Heavy, gritty, and groovy, “Kool-Aid” brings back that darker edge fans had been craving. It's a throwback to their heavier roots but filtered through a modern, polished lens. With a

hypnotic groove and anthemic energy, it’s BMTH flexing their creative muscles while staying

true to the sharpness they’ve perfected over the years.

3) Mantra

With a swaggering riff and biting lyrics, Mantra kicked off the amo era with a bang. Punchy,

sarcastic, and undeniably catchy, it’s a middle finger to expectations, delivering a bold

curveball for fans. It’s energetic, layered, and brilliantly unpredictable—just like the band

itself.

2) Throne

Everything about “Throne” is designed to make you feel invincible. It’s loud, polished, and full of defiance. From the arena-sized hooks to the empowering lyrics, it’s a song meant to be screamed at the top of your lungs in the car or in a massive festival crowd. It’s BMTH at their most anthemic and empowering.

1) Doomed

More than just a song, “Doomed” is a moment. Quiet, dark, and experimental, it builds slowly into something massive and painfully human. It’s the perfect opener to That’s the Spirit and encapsulates the band’s evolution: bold, vulnerable, and unafraid to embrace the weirdness. A track that defines who BMTH had become—and what they still are. Bring Me the Horizon’s legacy is defined by their ability to risk, reinvent, and refuse to be boxed in. From deathcore outsiders to genre-blending headliners, they’ve constantly evolved without sacrificing the raw emotion that makes them so special.

As they prepare to headline Reading and Leeds Festival this summer, they’ll prove once again why they’re one of the most important and unpredictable bands in modern rock. It’s not just about the songs they play—it’s about how they make every moment feel monumental
