Already being heralded as one of the most anticipated albums of the
year, Bring Me the Horizon’s upcoming fourth studio album,
Sempiternal, will be the defining sound of heavy music in 2013. It is
scheduled for release on April 30th; soon after the band will invade the
US for their first appearance here in over a year and a half, as
headliners on the 2013 Warped Tour. Recorded with super producer
Terry Date (Linkin Park, Deftones, Soundgarden) and mixed by David
Bendeth (A Day To Remember, Paramore), Sempiternal is an
embracing ride through soaring vocals, supercharged melodies and
what can only be described as spine-tingling metal anthems. Bring Me
the Horizon have always been at the cutting edge of combining
electronics and hard music (they were one of the first bands to work
with an up and coming young DJ named Skrillex), and here the dense
orchestral textures bring out the melodic side of the band as never
before, especially on first radio single “Sleepwalking.” "There's a very
euphoric sound coursing through the album, a very uplifting but yet sad
sound," says front-man Oliver Sykes. "Electronically, it's far more
advanced than anything we've done before." With the immense
critical and commercial success of their previous albums, including
their breakout Suicide Season (2008), BMTH take heavy music to the
next level, incorporating dynamic elements of hard music to create the
most exhilarating album of the year.
