It would be easy to see modern Bring Me The Horizon (BMTH) play festivals, stadiums and arenas to sold out crowds and forget where they came from. Their current music is a frantic mix of metal, rock, pop and electronic elements that has rewritten the heavy metal template, but as teenagers in Sheffield in 2006 they were a different beast altogether. Their debut ‘Count Your Blessings’ was one of the earliest and heaviest deathcore releases, and paved the way for the group’s wild future successes.

Back in April, BMTH announced a special 20th anniversary re-recording of their debut, titled ‘Count Your Blessings | Repented’, produced by frontman Oli Sykes and guitarist Lee Malia, and mixed by Buster Odeholm. The 10 original tracks are brought to life with modern engineering quality, in a way the band describe as it being “reborn, sharper, heavier and more vital than ever” – adding a new level of intensity to songs like ‘Pray For Plagues, ‘Black & Blue’ and ‘(I Used to Make Out With) Medusa’. Speaking of the choice to remix it in a way that was both true to the original while still fresh and novel, Skyes remarked “We can’t have this record sounding like what bands sound like today. It needs to be the best version of what it sounded like in 2006.”

After dropping the new and improved ‘Black & Blue’ as the lead single from ‘Repented’ 2 weeks ago, fans have been desperate for more tracks before the album releases on the 10th of July. As luck would have it, BMTH announced a new single and music video named ‘Dehumanized’ at the start of the week, and teased it with short clips of the band covered in blood ahead of its release yesterday. ‘Dehumanized’ is the only new, original composition for the record, added as an 11th track for the reissue – here’s the track listing for ‘Count Your Blessings | Repented’:

1. Pray for Plagues – 2026 Repented
2. Tell Slater Not to Wash His Dick – 2026 Repented
3. For Stevie Wonder’s Eyes Only – 2026 Repented
4. A Lot Like Vegas – 2026 Repented
5. Black & Blue – 2026 Repented
6. Slow Dance – 2026 Repented
7. Dragon Slaying – 2026 Repented
8. (I Used to Make Out With) Medusa – 2026 Repented
9. Fifteen Fathoms, Counting – 2026 Repented
10. Off The Heezay – 2026 Repented
11. Dehumanized

‘Dehumanized’ carries the feel of the classic material despite being written 20 years later, and stands on its own as a crushingly heavy deathcore track. Sykes’ screeches and growls which made him famous sound phenomenal in 2026, the breakdowns hit in all the right ways, and the video is a violent, visceral tribute to early music videos from the genre. The song serves as a big closing statement at the end of the record, celebrating both old and new eras of the band’s catalogue. Check the song and video out below:

To celebrate 20 years of ‘Count Your Blessings’ and the release of the reissue, Bring Me The Horizon are set to play several one-off headline shows where they will play the album in its entirety for the first time ever, alongside some bonus performances from the same era of the band. The two UK July shows on the 10th and 11th will be at Manchester’s B.E.C. Arena in partnership with the city’s alternative gathering Outbreak Fest, with a stacked bill featuring Static Dress, Dying Wish, Heriot, Rolo Tomassi, Car Underwater and Still In Love. Then after completing their North American tour with their contemporary music dubbed ‘POST HUMAN: NeX GEn – The Third Ascension Program’, they’re ending the year with another ‘Count Your Blessings | Repented’ show at Birmingham, Alabama’s Furnace Fest on the 11th of October.

‘Count Your Blessings | Repented’ releases on the 10th of July on streaming, CD and vinyl. The singles ‘Black & Blue’ and ‘Dehumanized’ are out now.
