Sempiternal tightens the band's songwriting to a three-name core: every track is written by Oli Sykes, Lee Malia, and Jordan Fish, the partnership that took over the band's authorship from this album onward. The shift from a five-way band credit to this trio is the clearest writing change in their catalog, and there are no outside writers anywhere on the record.
Sempiternal is the fourth studio album by Bring Me the Horizon, released in 2013 and the record that reinvented the band. It marked the arrival of Jordan Fish, whose programming and electronics reshaped their sound, and a move away from screamed metalcore toward soaring, melodic anthems. Produced by Terry Date, the album narrows the songwriting to a core trio of Oli Sykes, Lee Malia, and Jordan Fish, a partnership that would drive the band for the next decade. Singles 'Shadow Moses,' 'Sleepwalking,' and 'Can You Feel My Heart' became fan favorites and the album reached the UK top three. Widely seen as their breakthrough, it transformed Bring Me the Horizon into a mainstream rock force.
