The mighty Music For Nations today announce a very special 10th anniversary
reissue of Bring Me The Horizon’s groundbreaking fourth globally acclaimed album
‘Sempiternal’ .
Originally released in 2013, ‘Sempiternal’ is one of the most definitive metal albums
of a generation. It smashed preconceptions with it’s trailblazing release and was
both forward-thinking and innovative. It was also the perfect nod to their metal and
post-hardcore roots; but with a fresh genre defining approach. It was the record that
would catapult the band to global success on a grand scale. It opened the doors to
stadium shows and appearances at some of the biggest and most diverse festivals in
the world, namely Glastonbury, where they played for the first time in 2016.
Band frontman Oli Sykes adds “I feel like this is the album that changed everything
for our band, both in commercial success terms and personal terms. I was
struggling with addiction and my relationship with the band before this record was
fractured and I felt the only way I could apologise for my actions was to knuckle
down and pour everything into a record. This record brought our band closer than
ever and for that it will always have a special place in my heart.”
To mark the decade of an album with a heritage and sonic veracity still firmly intact, a
special 10 th anniversary vinyl pressing, and cassette tape have been carefully
fashioned to emphasise the music and underline the enigmatic artwork still steeped
in symbology and mystique. An almost yin-yang black and white approach to the
picture disc set and cassette features an inversion of the album’s original colour
palette, and a zoetrope effect animation picture disc to bring the ornate beauty of the
design to live on the turntable.
