Long time user of Metalstorm, long time listener of metal.

I simply don't understand why Bring Me The Horizon has been "blacklisted" from this site. Surely their music is metal.

I get the feeling that people don't want the band on Metalstorm purely because they don't like them. Sorry, but that isn't a good enough reason. They should be on this site, and if people want to rubbish them and rate them poorly, then feel free to do so...

Well i don't like this band, but if they "blacklisted" i guess BFMV and A7 should be kicked from this site.

Bring Me The Horizon has nothing to do with Screamo whatsoever. DEeathcore it is with some slight grindcore thrown into the equation. And albeit shit it still is metal.


I don't really understand then... I mean, who is the one that says that x band is blacklisted? The staff? Because if it is the staff then I seriously don't understand how they are blacklisten if they are clearly metal enough, I fail to see a good reason.

I see we have Atreyu and 36 crazyfists and clawfinger on Metal Storm now. I think the argument for not having BMTH is slipping.

No one. NO ONE. Can put together a decent argument that Atreyu belong here more than Bring Me The Horizon.

Disagree. Atreyu has been around long before BMTH. Atreyu sort of pioneered the melodic metalcore style while it seems that BMTH just rode their coattails and added some weak death metal influences. The only reason they have notoriety is due to the fact that tons of scene girls think Oli Sykes is attractive. Now I'm not saying that Atreyu isn't guilty of having tons of girls love them too due to their looks, but Atreyu's songs just seem way more thought out. They also diversified their sound from the usual metalcore into just heavy rock like on Lead Sails Paper Anchor.

I think it's irrelevant as to who came first or if BMTH "rode their coattails" of other bands, they're metal, and they should be on this site.

Well yeah, they can both be on the site. I just think it's wrong to say Atreyu should go when they clearly were around before BMTH was and innovated the melodic metalcore sound.

I have no idea why BMTH is banned but The Devil Wears Prada is on here, Horizon could shred circles around Devil, and thats saying a lot!

I honestly think it's due to a lot of the negative backlash BMTH has gotten from metal purists. I don't like BMTH or TDWP but if TDWP is here, they might as well add BMTH as well.
