Bring Me The Horizon Sempiternal

Throughout Sempiternal, Bring Me the Horizon soften their metalcore stance by emphasising surging electronic programming and more overtly melodic flourishes. Strings add an anxious grandeur to "Crooked Young", ice-melting piano and searing gang vocals mitigate the thorny fury of "Sleepwalking" and anguished synths augment the post-hardcore rush of "Can You Feel My Heart". Still, Sempiternal's occasional aggressive outbursts make it clear that the band haven't totally forsaken their heavy roots, with "Shadow Moses" boasting concrete-drilling riffs and Oli Sykes' frantic, gravelly vocals.
