Sempiternal

Product Information

The band announced that by September they would be entering the studio for pre-production of the album. 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.

The album spawned four singles (" Shadow Moses"; " Sleepwalking"; " Go to Hell, for Heaven's Sake"; and " Can You Feel My Heart"). They felt that they didn't need the isolated environment as much since they had a couple of months to rest after the tour for their previous album.The album debuted in the United Kingdom at number three on the album chart [70] and number one on the rock chart [71] with over 9,000 copies sold in its first week. The album was certified gold by the RIAA on 26 April 2016 for surpassing 500,000 sales though the RIAA misspelled the band's name and certified the album as "Beyond the Horizon". Sykes also sees the album as possessing a very euphoric "happy sad" feeling [6] and this is shown where one of the tracks on the album surfaced to sound like the soundtrack to the end of the world.

Sykes has said how both Fish, lead guitarist Lee Malia and himself would spend days writing in his own home.It smashed preconceptions with it’s trailblazing release and was both forward-thinking and innovative. Previous examples of where they've written was Arboga, Sweden for Suicide Season [10] and rural Scotland for There Is a Hell. 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. Bring Me the Horizon] still have a predominantly "metalcore" sound, but they have added in a lot of ambient passages in their songs and have minimized the heavy breakdowns.

Sykes believes that some of the work Date has done on the band's production makes Bring Me the Horizon sound like a completely different band. Afterward, they had intentions to issue a remix extended play consisting of electronica remixes of tracks off the album, all done by British electronic producer Draper, aiming for a tentative January 2012 release. 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). He also commented on how the album would explore similar territory as their third album There Is a Hell.When asked about the leak of Sempiternal, Sykes commented by saying: "I'd make a play for it happening because I was so sure. We carry a broad range of CDs and vinyl (7”/12” singles and LPs) and specialise in indie, alternative, rock, punk, metal plus a few other genres. On 9 November, the band played a free gig in their home town of Sheffield before co-headlining the UK Warped Tour Festival in London with Lostprophets. Bring Me the Horizon embarked on their headline tour of the United States in support of Sempiternal. This then led to the band streaming the album online until its release date, which was pushed forward from 29 and 30 April to 1 and 2 April for Worldwide and North American release, respectively.
