Background
In 2011, Bring Me the Horizon were finishing up the tour that was held in support of the band's previous album There Is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret. After this they wished to issue a remix extended play consisting of electronica remixes of tracks off the album, all done by British electronic producer Draper, in the attempt to release it by January 2012. However because of the band's label situation with Visible Noise it was cancelled.[3][4] Later on in the year in July it became announced that the band would release their fourth album on RCA Records.[5] Although the band's split from Visible Noise wasn't strictly aggressive, the band wanted to join a major record label due the lack of resources and support an independent label could offer during the album's development and promotion.[6] RCA Records have given Bring Me the Horizon lengthy support since their signing, the label introduces their signing or Bring Me the Horizon with the statement "signing you is as important as signing Metallica".[6][edit] Writing and recording
In 2012 the band decided to stop both their touring and their appearances in the media, instead to focus on the writing of their fourth album, with rhythm guitarist Jona Weinhofen saying "we're not very good at getting motivated to write on tour".[7] The band initially wanted to start recording the album in May, however Sykes believed it was too soon and that the band should just demo for a few months instead.[8] The band posted several images of them recording at a ‘Top Secret Studio Location’[9] which was later revealed to be the Angelic Studio in Banbury, Oxfordshire.[10] The band announced that by September they would be entering the studio for the pre-production for the album.[11]Vocalist Oliver Sykes revealed in an interview with Kerrang! that Jordan Fish of Worship had been working closely with Bring Me the Horizon in the studio, helping write the album and contribute electronics.[2] His role developed over the course of writing the album as he was initially there to be instructed by the band in what to do but he slowly started to have more say in the album's writing.[2] As his role continued he eventually became "essential" to the framework of the album and that he became "one of the leaders in terms of composition".[1] Sykes has said how both Fish, lead guitarist Lee Malia and himself would spend days writing in his own home.[1] Throughout the development of the album he was never announced as an official member of the band but would tour with the band in support of Sempiternal.[2] However in early 2013 Rocksound magazine confirmed Fish had left Worship and joined Bring Me the Horizon to become a six piece band.[1] By the middle of September it was announced that Terry Date, who is known for his work with bands like Deftones, Limp Bizkit and Pantera would be the album's producer.[12] Sykes said he admires Date's production work shown on White Pony and Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water.[8] Sykes believes that some of the work Date has done on the band's production makes Bring Me the Horizon sound like a completely different band.[8]
On 3 November 2012, the band invited fans and the Drop Dead Clothing team to enter Angelic Studios to record the gang vocals for Sempiternal.[13] Jordan Fish acted as a conductor for the crowd.[14]
[edit] Composition
[edit] Musical style
Despite Sykes doubts with joining a major record label in terms of the bands musical output, believing they would try to convince Bring Me the Horizon to release something more radio friendly, instead RCA and Sony have pushed the band to "write the heaviest album they can."[6] Although instead of going for a heavier sound, Bring Me the Horizon pooled more diverse influences in preparation for the writing of Sempiternal. During the development of the album Sykes said he, along side Jordan Fish were inspired by all the music they heard throughout their daily life and thought about how it applied to their style. Taking influence from hip hop, reggae, pop, dance[2] and both the soundscapes and "weird pianos" from film soundtracks.[8]Describing the album as blending pieces of their previous three albums and then creating "a whole new sound" Sykes summarises the album as having a "massively" influenced by various electronic music genres.[6] Sykes also sees the album as possessing a very euphoric "happy sad" feeling[6] and this is shown where one of the tracks on the album surfaced to sound like the soundtrack to the end of the world.[15]
[edit] Lyrical themes
Lyrically, the album which is still penned by Sykes are much more positive,[15] more tongue-in-cheek in comparison to the dark lyricisms of the previous album, There Is A Hell.[6] The album's lyrics are also focus of self reflective themes of analysing the consequences of his actions on peoples live and transforming them into an apology.[15][edit] Release and Promotion
On 5 November 2012 the band announced that they had hosted a website domain for the album 'sempiternal.info' in which they release an audio clip of 'Shadow Moses' The website also displays an artistic video which eventually forms a symbol (the Flower of Life) which will most likely be part of the album's cover art.[16] On 9 November the band played a free gig in their home town of Sheffield before co-headlining the UK Warped Tour Festival in London with Lostprophets.[17] The first single from the album, "Shadow Moses", debuted on Daniel P. Carter's Rock Show on BBC Radio 1 on January 4, 2013. "Shadow Moses" was officially released as a single on iTunes on January 14, 2013.sumber : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sempiternal_%28album%29
