Bring Me The Horizon's first three albums built them a dedicated fan base that worshipped the very ground they walked on and saw them win awards, play shows across the world and get signed to a major label. Along with the fans were those who doubted the band and harboured a dislike for them but that seems to have come to an end with fourth album Sempiternal drawing in more and more positive reviews by the day. They've already found themselves gaining increased exposure in the mainstream with "Shadow Moses" having awakened listeners of Radio One on their way to work and being named as number one on Kerrang's Rock 100.
From the experimental electronics, like on opener "Can You Feel My Heart?" to the ear shattering musical breakdowns and the ever poetic and ultimately striking lyrics, Sempiternal is a showcase of diversity and creativity in the very best of ways. Tracks like "And The Snakes Start To Sing" see them matured, playing with a careful quiet and Sykes' vocals rarely doing more than singing softly whilst "The House Of Wolves" is heavy to its core and "Antivist" is a throwback to previous records adopting their anthemic full of swear words can't-help-but-scream along style, "middle fingers up if you don't give a fuck."
With this atmospheric album, it seems pretty safe to say that Bring Me The Horizon surpassed all expectations and are set to achieve much bigger things in the near future.
