Kingslayer was released in 2020 on Bring Me The Horizon's Post Human: Survival Horror, a collaboration with Japanese group BABYMETAL that blends metalcore with electronic and J-pop elements. The opening became a favourite for short form edits because it builds and drops in under ten seconds, fitting intros and transitions perfectly. Fans of both bands shared the section across gaming, anime and fitness videos, where its recognisable pulse signals that something intense is about to happen without needing the full song.
About this sound
Kingslayer intro is the opening riff from Bring Me The Horizon and BABYMETAL's metal track, used for intense edits, entrances and gaming montages.
The clip captures the first seconds of Kingslayer, where a glitchy electronic pulse and whispered build quickly drop into heavy guitars and pounding drums. It sounds urgent, dark and futuristic, mixing metalcore aggression with a hyperpop style vocal hook. That instant escalation makes any ordinary moment feel like a boss fight entrance. Viewers recognise the tension in the build and the release of the drop, so even a short loop creates anticipation before a reveal, a highlight play or a dramatic turn in an edit.
