Bring Me The Horizon played the first of their “Count Your Blessings” 20th anniversary shows yesterday, July 10th. The celebrated alternative metal band took over B.E.C. Arena in Manchester, England for a full album performance of their aforementioned deathcore debut. That show opened a two-night residency at that venue celebrating that record.
Of course they didn’t come alone, stacking the bill with a roster that included Static Dress, Dying Wish, Heriot, Rolo Tomassi, Car Underwater and Still In Love. Yesterday’s set also transpired on the same day Bring Me The Horizon‘s fully re-recorded version of their aforementioned album arrived online and in stores under the banner of “Count Your Blessings | Repented“.
As expected, Bring Me The Horizon ran through that album in its entirety during their time onstage, complete with the first live airing of its newly included bonus track “Dehumanized“. The band then followed that nostalgic deathcore set with an encore performance that saw them serve up some more setlist rarities in “Suicide Season” and “Re: They Have No Reflections” — both of which were last performed over a decade ago.
“Blessed With A Curse” and Diamonds Aren’t Forever” finished out the concert. Fan-filmed footage of the entire set has since emerged online and can be seen below. As it stands now, the band have a few more 20th anniversary stops for that album planned, including another stop tonight, July 11th, at the B.E.C. Arena, and an October 11th stateside performance at this year’s ‘Furnace Fest‘ in Birmingham AL.
“Count Your Blessings” has benefitted from a renewed interest amid the hype leading up to the release of this 20th anniversary edition, with that 2006 outing having newly hit silver status (60,000 copies) in the UK on May 15th of this year.
