Bring Me the Horizon recorded their second studio album Suicide Season in Sweden with Fredrik Nordström. In promotion of the new material from Suicide Season the band embarked on their first headline tour of the United States, as well as appearing in the 2008 Warped Tour. In May 2008 Bring Me the Horizon was the main supporting band on I Killed The Prom Queen's farewell tour in Australia with The Ghost Inside and The Red Shore as supports.[3] Although the tour was short and was only 9 days long it sold out rapidly.[4] On 18 September 2008 Suicide season was released in the United States on Epitaph and 29 September in Europe through Visible Noise, it was promoted using the tagline "September is Suicide Season".[5]In 2009 Bring Me the Horizon was at 2009 Kerrang!

In March 2009 during the Taste of Chaos tour, guitarist Curtis Ward left the band.[7] Australian guitarist Jona Weinhofen, formerly of Bleeding Through and I Killed The Prom Queen, temporarily replaced Curtis before being asked to join the group on a permanent basis.[8] A video of a staged fight between Oliver Sykes and Architects' lead singer Sam Carter, filmed in October 2009 and uploaded to YouTube, caused some Bring Me the Horizon fans to send hate mail to Carter. Carter later made it clear in an interview with Kerrang! that the whole thing was a joke, as did Sykes.[9]
In November 2009 Bring Me the Horizon released a remixed version of Suicide Season, titled Suicide Season: Cut Up!. Musicians and producers featured on the album include Ben Weinman, Sonny Moore, L’Amour La Morgue, Utah Saints and Shawn Crahan.[10] That year Sykes guested on the Admiral's Arms song "Dawn of the New Age", which appeared on the EP "Stories Are Told", released in November 2009.
