BRING ME THE HORIZON Explains PRESSURE FESTIVAL Cancellation

June 25, 2007

Britain's BRING ME THE HORIZON was forced to cancel its previously announced appearance at the Pressure Festival, which took place June 23-25 at the Gysenberg Hall in Herne, Germany.

Commented the band: "On the way to the show our front tire lost a wheel bearing and we almost crashed! We had to wait overnight in place for a part to be ordered in. It was proper shitty and were all gutted, but there was nothing we could have done. We are so sorry to anyone who came to see us and we wasn't there; we feel like total letdowns, but we couldn't have helped it. Hopefullly we can come back soon and make it up to you guys."

BRING ME THE HORIZON has posted its first-ever promotional video, for the track "Pray for Plagues", at YouTube. The song comes off the group's debut album, "Count Your Blessings", which is scheduled for release in North America on August 14 via Earache Records.

In the seemingly short span of three years since their formation, BRING ME THE HORIZON has "accomplished more in that time than most bands do in 10," according to a press release. "In 2006, BRING ME THE HORIZON was the recipient of a Kerrang! award for 'Best British Newcomer' and held steady on MySpace's top 100 list of most played bands, currently boasting a playcount of 4.2 million plays. BRING ME THE HORIZON was only one of two U.K. acts to chart in the MySpace top 100 (the other being COLDPLAY). In addition, they've toured with bands such as BLEEDING THROUGH and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and performed a show-stealing set at the U.K.'s Download Festival."

BRING ME THE HORIZON is being licensed to Earache through the band's U.K. label Visible Noise. Julie Weir, the A&R director of Visible Noise says, "BRING ME THE HORIZON are an extreme and incendiary band, and where better for them to be released in the US than through the home of extreme music!!" Earache Records U.S. label head Al Dawson believes that the band's future now burns even brighter: "We are overjoyed to be given the opportunity to work with BRING ME THE HORIZON — they are one of the most talented extreme bands to come out of England in the last few years."
