"Bringing Jordan into the mix changed things completely he opened up so many more possibilities." "We worked from a computer, laying down ideas and riffs and working on them tirelessly until we had what we wanted." For the first time, "Sempiternal" sees a new member appearing on the record, Jordan Fish, who takes on keyboard duties on the record as well as during live performances. "Writing 'Sempiternal' was a completely different process," comments Sykes. The band also brought in David Bendeth ( A DAY TO REMEMBER, PARAMORE) to add to the all-star production lineup and mix the album. The five-piece, consisting of Oliver Sykes, Lee Malia, Matt Kean, Matt Nicholls and Jordan Fish, recorded "Sempiternal" over a three-month period with super producer Terry Date ( LINKIN PARK, DEFTONES, SOUNDGARDEN). "Electronically, it's far more advanced than anything we've done before." "There's a very euphoric sound coursing through the album, a very uplifting but yet sad sound," says BRING ME THE HORIZON frontman Oliver Sykes.

Proving to be perpetual favorites among fans, the CD's first single, "Shadow Moses", came charging out of the gates last week after premiering on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show, forcing Epitaph to post the song on YouTube a week in advance due to popular demand. CYFMH going viral on TikTok kickstarted a whole new wave of BMTH fans years after initial release, which is just another contributor to why this may be considered their most defining work.British metalcore act BRING ME THE HORIZON will release its fourth album, "Sempiternal", on April 29 in Europe via RCA and one day later in North America through Epitaph. Currently sitting at 160 million views on Youtube, it's their most popular song of all time. It’d be a sin to not start off with “Can You Feel My Heart” (CYFMH) for short. It’s definitely some of their more accessible music, making it incredibly easy to recommend multiple tracks off of the record. Don’t get me started, it’s an inevitable topic for a future blog post.Īdmittedly, “Sempiternal” is not my favorite album of theirs, but there’s no denying the impact this album made on the music world. Granted their time as a deathcore band had already passed long ago at that point. Ironically, it’s their first album to produce a major radio hit with their first single, “Shadow Moses.” As a longtime fan, it was shocking to hear my favorite deathcore “scene” band on the radio. BMTH’s vocalist and primary lyricist, Oli Sykes, said that he had doubts about how joining Sony would affect their sound. Upon first listen, it’s not hard to notice that it’s their first album under a major record label (Sony.) The production value is through the roof. The 10th anniversary of the album’s release was on April 1st, so it’d be foolish to not take a deeper look into the album that for many, put BMTH on the map when it comes to modern metal. Between recently going viral on TikTok and with the unforgettable “Sandpit Turtle” memes, it still holds the attention of many. It’s fair to say the album is on theme with its title. "Sempiternal" is an archaic English word meaning "everlasting time.” Fittingly, Bring Me the Horizon’s fourth studio album “Sempiternal” is a timeless, trendsetting album that showcases just how artistic and talented BMTH are as a band.
