Last night, UK metalcore kings Bring Me The Horizon kicked off the opening date of their UK tour, bringing with them a huge support bill that features US metalcore crew and current Metal Hammer cover stars Bad Omens, nu gen leader Cassyette and British alt rockers Static Dress. The gig was something of a historic one for the headliners, as it marked their first live show since the surprising departure of keyboardist/percussionist Jordan Fish towards the end of last year.
Near the end of Bring Me's 19-song set, Sheffield's finest invited Bad Omens frontman Noah Sebastian - yellow balaclava and all - on stage for a run through classic Sempiternal banger Antivist. "We've brought this band all the way from America," shouted Bring Me frontman Oli Sykes at one point. "He's jetlagged, he's dead, he wants to see a real fucking circle pit!"
