Review
Bring Me the Horizon's album "Sempiternal" really came through as a game-changer when it hit the shelves in 2013. This record is an epic mashup of genres—nu metal meets electronic with dashes of ambient and pop vibes, creating a standout sound that’s hard to pin down but easy to get obsessed with. The album name, "Sempiternal," means "everlasting time," a nod to the deep themes of introspection and self-discovery woven through the tracks. Each song feels like a journey through time, exploring personal and universal questions.
The impact of "Sempiternal" was massive, partly thanks to hits like "Shadow Moses" and "Can You Feel My Heart,” which blew up and became anthems for many. Chart-wise, the album was a beast, clinching the top spots globally, including a No. 3 debut on the UK Album Chart and a significant presence on the US Billboard 200. The addition of Jordan Fish, formerly of Worship, turned out to be a pivotal move for the band. His knack for blending electrifying electronics with the band’s core sound contributed heavily to the album's success. Plus, having Terry Date as the producer? That just put the cherry on top, ensuring the album not only had depth but also a polished sheen that made it accessible to a broader audience. "Sempiternal" isn't just a musical release; it’s a milestone for Bring Me the Horizon, marking their bold step into new creative territories. - Ethan
