Release Date: April 2, 2013 Sometimes I like to start off reviews with hypothetical questions, and this one will be no exception, so to start off this review, have you ever listened to a band that you either never liked or used to like, and suddenly find yourself enjoying them again? Well, that's how I feel with English metalcore turned melodic hardcore outfit Bring Me the Horizon. I used to enjoy this band quite a bit back in 2008, when I was into a lot of metalcore and post-hardcore...

On their Wiki, this British band is described as a 'metalcore' band. This doesn't really do them justice. For better or worse, these guys are a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, and they take that even further on this, their fourth album. This album lurches from one style of heavy music to another, often in the one song...

Bring Me The Horizon have not built up a fanbase by playing it safe, and Sempiternal marks their most striking--and fearless--evolution to date. From the skittering electronics dominating the opener "Can You Feel My Heart" to the frail croon of Oli Sykes on "And The Snakes Start To Sing," BMTH both impress and inspire at every turn. There's plenty of metallic crunch to sate diehard moshers, and the spiteful anthem "Anti-vist" is pure hatred unleashed...

Recent listeners to Nick Grimshaw's Radio 1 breakfast show have been woken with a jolt following the surprise addition of Bring Me The Horizon to the station's playlist. The riffs of 'Shadow Moses' may be a strange accompaniment to your tea and Weetabix, but it's all part of the Sheffield metal band's bid to become a Proper Big Deal in 2013...

Bring Me The Horizon SempiternalBy Bradley Zorgdrager This record features the least ridiculously drastic musical change Bring Me The Horizon have made between albums. From chaotic metalcore to deathcore to chug-heavy metalcore, it took the Sheffield band four tries to finally come into their own on 2010's There Is A Hell, Believe Me, I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret. Sempiternal is both a continuation and expansion of that release...

In 2010, no one was expecting Bring Me The Horizon to release the kind of album they did. There Is A Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is A Heaven, Let's Keep It A Secret was such an incredible progression from the band's Suicide Season that it knocked mostly everything in the metalcore community on its ass. Having gained newfound respect and plenty of new fans with that release, the community now had expectations for the Sheffield, England band, and sometimes that can make or break you...

Coming off the back of a blistering performance at Soundwave, teasing us with some new tracks from this forth coming album, we now get to hear the whole record and fans will definitely not be disappointed. Their trademark metalcore sound is still prevalent but the band have enlisted the help of Jordan Fish to add keyboards and electronics to the songs to give a new dimension that seems to fit in well. Jordan's influence is stamped all over the opening track "Can You Feel My Heart Beat"...

From the moment Bring Me the Horizon released their 2006 full-length debut, Count Your Blessings, hatred reigned down upon this young British band. They were a bunch of swoopy-fringed teenagers, raised on Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park, trying to rip off the riffs of At the Gates and other extreme metal royalty with no idea of what they were doing, or why. It was all style and no substance; and boy were they deservedly crucified for it...

Sound: Bring Me The Horizon formed in 2004 from members of several recently dissolved local bands in Yorkshire, and were immediately signed as the first band to Thirty Days of Night Records. They recorded their first EP in 2004, but did not gain any significant attention for it until it was re-released by Visible Noise in 2005. They released their first full length album, "Count Your Blessings", in 2006 and then won the Kerrang! Award the same year for Best British Newcomer...
