2000s Metal Band Perform Fan-Favorite Song for First Time in 20 Years

2 Mins Read

Bring Me The Horizon are treating long-time fans to a groundbreaking weekend of performances, and they’re making history while doing it.

The British metal band has been revisiting their debut album in honor of its 20th anniversary, recently releasing a re-recorded version of the career-defining Count Your Blessings.

Count Your Blessings | Repented features updated versions of the original ten tracks, along with an additional new song titled “Dehumanized”.

“I think a lot of people think that we hate that record or are embarrassed by it because we don’t play it,” frontman Oli Sykes said in a statement. “Really, we were just always disappointed with how it sounded. It was never about rewriting history. It was about making the record we’d always heard in our heads.”

On July 10, the band played the first of two huge shows at the B.E.C. Arena in Manchester, England. During the show, they played the re-released album in full, which meant that some songs were unearthed for the first time in decades. One song being the fan-favorite interlude track “Slow Dance,” which was performed live for the first time since 2006, per Setlist.FM.

The heavy instrumental track is the sixth track on Count Your Blessings | Repented and has long received praise from fans.

“I miss when bands released instrumental bangers like this.” one person wrote in the comments of the official lyric video.

“THIS is what the edge of your seat was made for! I always loved this instrumental,” commented another. “Impossible to skip!”

Formed in 2004 in Sheffield, England, Bring Me The Horizon became a pivotal part of the mid-2000s metal scene. The band has won countless awards over the course of their 22-year career, including the award for Best Rock/Alternative Act at the BRIT Awards 2024.
