In the second part of our interview with British metalcore sensations Bring Me the Horizon, the band members discuss their history, the blood-drenched cover of their latest album Suicide Season, horror movies and more. Click "more" to watch. Read more...

In the Shirley Bassey song "Diamonds Are Forever," which was the theme track for the 1971 James Bond movie of the same name, the British chanteuse croons, "Diamonds are forever/They are all I need to please me/They can stimulate and tease me/They won't leave in the night."

Experience has taught Bassey to seek possession over passion and that diamonds have enough value to heal her torn heart. By contrast, the Bring Me the Horizon song "Diamonds Aren't Forever," from the British metalcore's 2008 sophomore record Suicide Season implies that nothing has value since life is but ephemeral. "Throw diamonds in the sky/We'll stay gold forever/I can promise you one thing/ Death will take us all/ I can promise you one thing/ You will die alone/ We're all going to hell, we may as well go out in style."

Clearly Bring Me the Horizon have impact, but if you ask us, Bassey has more panache, and the film intro to "Diamonds are Forever" is pretty damn hot.
