Sempiternal

Product Information

On 3 November 2012, the band invited fans and the Drop Dead Clothing team to enter Angelic Studios to record the gang vocals for Sempiternal. RCA Records have given Bring Me the Horizon lengthy support since their signing, the label introduces their signing of Bring Me the Horizon with the statement "signing you is as important as signing Metallica".

Originally released in 2013, ‘Sempiternal’ is one of the most definitive metal albums of a generation. In the US, projections of the album selling between 24,000 and 27,000 in its first week were confirmed as it sold over 27,000, achieving a place of number 11 on the US Billboard 200. However, in later interviews when asked directly about the song and its meaning the band members revealed that it's not strictly about Weinhofen (although he did serve as an inspiration), but rather deals with modern day people's hypocrisy, particularly on the Internet; where people either state reckless negative opinions and argue with other people which "not actually helping" or on the contrary preach whatever they feel is right to change the world for the better while at the same time behaving in a manner that belies their own statements (thus making them "ANTI-vists" instead of activists). During the development of the album, Sykes said that he and Jordan Fish were inspired by all the music they heard throughout their daily life and thought about how it applied to their style. Music For Nations are proud to present a celebration of 10 years of Bring Me The Horizon’s sempiternal.It was released on 1 April 2013 worldwide through RCA Records, a subsidiary label of Sony Music, and 2 April 2013 in the United States and Canada through Epitaph Records. The band initially wanted to begin recording the album in May 2012, however, Sykes believed it was too soon and that the band should just demo for a few months instead. Although the band's split from Visible Noise wasn't strictly aggressive, the band wanted to join a major record label due to the lack of resources and support an independent label could offer during the album's development and promotion. As his role continued he eventually became "essential" to the framework of the album and that he became "one of the leaders in terms of composition". The song's looped vocal pattern was created by Fish as Sykes couldn't think of lyrics that fit in the chorus, but they then became a significant part of the song's structure.

The album is also seen as taking the electronic elements that have progressively surfaced in the band's career [26] and incorporating them into the foundation of the songs. By the middle of September it was announced that Terry Date, who is known for his work with bands like Deftones, Limp Bizkit and Pantera would be the album's producer. Sykes explained that while There Is a Hell examined mannerisms such as dealing with great amounts of depression, Sempiternal examines learning how to deal with that stress. At the end of this video it was revealed that the album was scheduled to be released on 29 April 2013.

He also commented on how the album would explore similar territory as their third album There Is a Hell. It was also the perfect nod to their metal and post-hardcore roots; but with a fresh genre defining approach.

It didn't work out as well for us this time because we liked that before as we were always touring, and we needed somewhere quiet to go. It stems from the Latin word " sempiternus" (a concatenation of root " semper" and suffix " aeternum"). The album's lyrics are also focused on self-reflective themes of analysing the consequences of someone's actions on people's lives and transforming them into apologies [36] and described as having "a more considerate, contemplative and self-aware demeanour". In 2011, Bring Me the Horizon were finishing up the tour that was held in support of the band's previous album There Is a Hell Believe Me I've Seen It.It opened the doors to stadium shows and appearances at some of the biggest and most diverse festivals in the world, namely Glastonbury, where they played for the first time in 2016. This, however, received a positive response from the band as they prepared something due to the "phenomenal demand".
