BRING ME THE HORIZON

Since 1962, Marshall has been the amp choice of the guitar gods. But while we’ll never tire of the crunch and sneer of Marshall-powered classics like Back In Black and Appetite For Destruction, the British brand is the sound of here and now, providing the guts behind modern rock’s most exciting new albums.

Bursting out of the Sheffield rock scene with 2006’s debut album Count Your Blessings, Bring Me The Horizon have shaken the planet with their heartfelt, hooky and seismically heavy brand of metal. And while this year’s chart-topping sixth album Amo advances their savage early sound with flavours of pop-rock and electronica, guitarist Lee Malia tells us he can always rely on his JCM800 and JTM-45 to deliver the goods.

What’s it like being in Bring Me The Horizon right now?

“It’s all been pretty crazy. We got to UK#1 with, which I don’t think any of us ever expected. You know, 10 years ago, we never thought we’d be top of the pop chart, making that kind of music. We never expected the Grammy nomination for , either. Even though we didn’t win, it’s still a wild thing to happen. Everything’s just going really well for us at the moment.”
