Grammy-Nominated Bands Bring Me The Horizon & The Fever 333 Rocked The Fillmore

Bring Me The Horizon.

Bring Me The Horizon.

Grammy-nominated rock band Bring Me The Horizon released their sixth studio album Amo in January. Amo is the band's most experimental album to date and possibly the most divisive album for longtime fans. But it may also be one of their best musically and commercially with hit songs “Mantra” and “Medicine” but also some of the deep tracks like “Sugar Honey Ice & Tea” and “Heavy Metal,” which round the album out nicely. It’s the only time in the band’s history that they have had a #1 album in the U.K. The band first gained notoriety as one of the premier deathcore bands in the mid 2000s and slowly gained a “poppier” sound with each successive album, leading them to be one of the most popular rock acts to date.

BMTH are currently on the First Love Tour supporting the latest album with special guests The Fever 333 and Thrice. The sold0out show at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver this past Monday was packed to the brim early. Fans were setup to see fellow Grammy-nominated artist The Fever 333, who are known for their crazy onstage antics, particularly front man Jason Butler (formerly of Letlive). Old-school hard rockers Thrice were sandwiched in the middle, playing a solid show to setup for BMTH.

BMTH are known for putting on entertain and theatrical performances with a great light show to match. The set started out with a bang, with streamers flying throughout the venue as the notes for “Mantra” shook the building. Even with a couple of technical difficulties in the first few songs, BMTH powered through like nothing was wrong. The band rarely plays any songs from albums older than Sempiternal, much to the ire of the OG fans, but they still rocked the heavier songs from that album. The set was topped off with the #1 single from the band’s last album Throne, and they then sent everyone home with a confetti shower to celebrate a night of amazing music.

The guys are on the tail-end of their U.S. tour before they take a quick break and start again on a Mexico and South American tour. You can check out Amo for yourself and follow the band here.
