Review: Bring Me The Horizon - Sempiternal
Keeping up with Britain’s unrivalled reputation of extraordinary musicians, Sheffield’s Bring Me The Horizon (consisting of Oliver Sykes: vocals, Matthew Nicholls: drums, Matt Kean: bass, Lee Malia: guitars and Jordan Fish: programming and keys)’s career has fallen nothing short of remarkable.
This year is going to be huge for BMTH, as it sees the release of their most recent and forth album Sempiternal. Although the record is not set for release until Monday 29th April 2013 it has been leaked onto the internet.
With super-producer Terry Date (Linkin Park, Deftones) at hand for the production of Sempiternal, it was safe it say it was expected to be awesome. The album is once again charged with lyrical beauty, catchy riffs and pumped-up, amp-blowing melodies.
Forever the voice of the Crooked Youth, BMTH have never been a stranger to a religious theme in their songs, or an anti-religious theme as the case seems to so often be. But with the added political themes in this album that are prominent in such songs as Anti-vist, I really feel that Bring Me The Horizon has taken up the bar once again in lyrical standards. There is also a very strong theme and feeling of the band’s history and starting again running all the way through the album.
Many people have bashed their newer albums, saying that Oli’s voice is nowhere as good as it was and that they should of stayed as grindcore, but that band has gone through various genres such as; grindcore, deathcore, metalcore and still has been able to maintain a huge fan base and sell out shows. I think that’s proof enough that even though you may not like what BMTH are doing, they’re good at what they do.
TheSprout obviously does not endorse the leaking of albums, so pre-order Sempiternal
