Bring Me The Horizon made sure that their headline set at Sonic Temple this weekend was one to remember with a very special guest joining them.
That guest was MAPHRA, the incredible vocalist who has gone viral for her cover of the band’s 2015 track ‘Doomed’. The version has spent the last nine weeks in first and second position on the Billboard Hot Hard Rock Songs Chart, only recently been knocked off the top spot by mgk and Fred Durst’s ‘Fix Ur Face’. It has racked up over 19 million streams on Spotify alone, and the one-take video on YouTube has been viewed over 21 million times.
Basically, it is a phenomenon.
And for BMTH to notice and appreciate what is taking place with their song showcase just how they continue to have their ear to the ground in terms of what is going on in the scene. So, on stage at Sonic Temple in Columbus, OH, the two worlds collided in a spine-tingling, unifying, triumphant manner. With Oli Sykes and MAPHRA pushing each other further and further vocally, the result is undeniable. It also demonstrates what happens when you put yourself out there. Your heroes do take notice, you know?
