Suicide Season

Last updated

There isn't an artist in the world who doesn't listen to an album that they've done and go, 'I could have done that better', but I think on the whole, in every aspect of recording and just the way we did it, we did ourselves proud with that album.

Singer Oliver Sykes in an interview, 2012. [8]

As Bring Me the Horizon received more recognition and acclaim, Suicide Season has been looked upon more fondly than when it was first released. [19] [28] In 2012, when Rock Sound inducted the record into their "Hall of Fame", the band members reflected on Suicide Season positively. [8] Jamie Kossoff, one of the remixers on the Cut Up! edition of the album, noted that electronic and dance music remixes of heavy music were not common before the Cut Up! edition was released. [11]

Metalcore is a broadly defined fusion genre combining elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk, that originated in the late 1980s. Metalcore is noted for its use of breakdowns, which are slow, intense passages conducive to moshing, while other defining instrumentation includes heavy and percussive pedal point guitar riffs and double bass drumming. Vocalists in the genre typically perform screaming; more popular bands often combine this with the use of standard singing, usually during the bridge or chorus of a song. However, the death growl is also a popular technique within the genre.

Deathcore is an extreme metal subgenre that combines death metal with metalcore. The genre consists of death metal guitar riffs, blast beats, and metalcore breakdowns.
