interact with the crowd. The band opposed these rules by initiating walls of death. Bring Me the Horizon embarked on a full European headline tour to support the album in April 2011, starting in the United Kingdom. They toured with Parkway Drive and Architects as their main support bands, while their opening acts consisted of The Devil Wears Prada in the UK and the dubstep group Tek-one for the continental Europe leg. The tour received much positive press and was considered their biggest headline tour ever; Rock Sound called it the "tour of the year". The tour was not problem-free. On 28 April, Matt Nicholls broke his arm while playing football with members of Bring Me the Horizon, Parkway Drive, and Architects; instead of cancelling the tour, Architects' drummer Dan Searle filled in, causing the length of Bring Me the Horizon's set list to be halved.

The British publication Rock Sound gave the album significant critical acclaim. Upon its release, Rock Sound writer Pete Withers praised
