Bring Me The Horizon - Count Your Blessings (Black Vinyl)

Count Your Blessings is the uncompromising debut album from Sheffield metal heavyweights Bring Me The Horizon, returning to vinyl in this limited black LP edition. Originally released in 2006, the record captures the band at their rawest, before the wider stylistic shifts that would later take them from the UK underground to arenas around the world. Built around furious guitar work, relentless drumming, abrasive vocals and punishing breakdowns, it remains a defining document of the mid-2000s British deathcore scene. Its impact can still be heard across contemporary heavy music.

The album opens with the fan favourite Pray For Plagues and rarely eases its grip. Tracks including Tell Slater Not To Wash His Dick, For Stevie Wonder’s Eyes Only (Braille), Black & Blue and (I Used to Make Out With) Medusa showcase the intensity and youthful urgency that first set Bring Me The Horizon apart. Even the brief instrumental moments add atmosphere rather than relief, making the record feel like a continuous surge of tightly controlled chaos.

Although the band would later incorporate electronic music, alternative rock, pop and industrial influences, Count Your Blessings remains essential for understanding where their story began. Its blend of death metal aggression, metalcore dynamics and sharply executed breakdowns helped introduce a new generation of listeners to extreme music, while its cult reputation has only grown as the band’s audience has expanded.

This 2026 pressing marks the album’s first European and UK vinyl pressing in a decade and its first North American pressing since 2018. Presented as a limited black vinyl LP, it is an ideal replacement for a difficult-to-find earlier copy and a key addition to any Bring Me The Horizon collection. For fans of deathcore, metalcore and the heavier end of 2000s alternative music, this is the sound of a major band arriving with no interest in compromise.
