Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon reveals which album introduced him to metal.

Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes recently answered some questions on Cameo . In one of them, the musician talked about the first album that made him fall in love with heavy music – and revealed that he didn't like it that much at first.

“The first metal record I bought… it depends on what you consider metal. The first two were Linkin Park and bands of that type. The first album that made me think 'wow, this is metal' was Killswitch Engage … I think it was [ Alive Or Just Breathing , from 2002],” he says.

“I remember hearing this album for the first time and thinking, ‘My God, this is really heavy.’ We were on vacation and I was going to Spain on a bus that left from England and took 24 hours, so I bought the album before getting on the bus,” he continues. “The first time I heard it, I thought it was too heavy for me. ‘I don’t like this. It’s too crazy.’ But then I had nothing else to listen to, so I kept listening and when I arrived in Spain I was already in love.”

Oli Sykes also said that after that experience, he started listening to different death metal bands, such as Decapitated and Suffocation , until he moved on to something even heavier, like Zao . "I'm grateful for that," he concludes.
