While they're currently one of the biggest pop-rock/metal acts on the planet, many remember a time when Bring Me The Horizon were the much maligned deathcore kids with emo fringes. Gaining momentum with each album, and slowly morphing their sound into a form of electronica-tinged metalcore over time, it was 2013's fourth full-length Sempiternal that not only silenced naysayers but elevated the group to staggering new heights, thanks to the addition of keyboardist Jordan Fish, who remains their secret weapon to this day. Produced by the iconic Terry Date (Deftones, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park), his presence as well as the sonic indebtedness to the aforementioned acts, led to an expansive yet cohesive work that married heaving breakdowns with ethereal post-rock, while showcasing elements of nu-metal and post-hardcore that would embolden their future direction. Lyrically delving into frontman Oli Sykes' battle with ketamine addiction through harrowing and earnest depictions, and featuring his first foray into cleanly sung vocals, Sempiternal remains not only the band's high watermark, but the album that legitimately "changed it all". Celebrating its ten year anniversary on a lush picture disc, it appears enough time has passed to finally class the LP as the modern classic it has always been.
