This would also be the last album to feature Curtis Ward on rhythm guitar. The band later released a two disc special edition of ''Suicide Season'' which features various musicians and producers remixing tracks off the album, entitled ''Suicide Season: Cut Up!'' This was released on 2 November 2009 in the United Kingdom through Visible Noise and on 12 April 2010 in the United States through Epitaph. ''Suicide Season'' spawned three singles ("Chelsea Smile", "Diamonds Aren't Forever" and "The Sadness Will Never End"). The album debuted on the charts of five countries. Critically the album received a mixed response. Though praised from the musical shift from the style of 2006's ''Count Your Blessings'', the album was criticised for its song writing and musical aesthetics. ==Background and recording== After the release of band's first studio album 2006's ''Count Your Blessings'', the band began experiencing an extremely hateful reaction from fans to their music. They cited that very few publications featured them and in drummer Matt Nicholls' opinion the band had gathered strong hatred from 'proper metalheads'. For example, when the band supported Killswitch Engage in 2007 the crowd began throwing bottles at the band before their set had even started. When preparing the music for ''Suicide Season'' vocalist Oliver Sykes and lead Guitarist Lee Malia agreed that this record would be the "make-or-break" factor for the band and that it had to be different from ''Count Your Blessings''. ''Suicide Season'' was written recorded in Arboga, an isolated Swedish village with producer Fredrik Nordström. Lead vocalist Oliver Sykes described Arboga as "Nowheresville".〔(Metal Hammer "Bring Me The Horizon Exclusive" article )〕 Sykes considered the isolation Arboga provided as ideal in comparison to the constant activity in Birmingham, the recording location of their first album: "We recorded ''Count Your Blessings'' in the middle of Birmingham and it was very easy to get distracted. Arboga is a village with nothing in it apart from a tiny shop and that was it".〔 In during the initial recording of the album Nordström initially was absent from working with the band, in Sykes perspective he drew his own conclusion based on ''Count Your Blessings''. However he turned up midway through their recording process and was shocked by the music they had written, and from that point became more involved in the recording process. Nordström also taught the band some basic levels of recording and production so they could work through the night. By the end of the album he said it was "one of the best CDs he's done in years". The album cover features a girl holding her intestines. Sykes explains this in an interview, stating "The whole idea behind the cover is that the girl (the cover ) has her intestines out and it’s about spilling your guts basically, and opening up to the world." Whilst in Arboga the band caused a controversy and lit an unlit, prepared bonfire in the middle of the forest, they were put in the local paper for destroying a pagan celebration. The album features guest appearances from vocalist JJ Peters of Deez Nuts, Sam Carter of Architects and Luis Dubuc of The Secret Handshake.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suicide Season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
