In the aftermath of Shadow Moses, the hype for Sempiternal went supernova Epitaph Records (the band’s US and Canadian label) were forced to release the video for the song early, and on February 23 the album was leaked online a whole two months ahead of its release date. Ten years on, it remains an absolutely bulletproof song. Even if you were a fan of BMTH already, you couldn’t have seen it coming: Shadow Moses’ inescapable chorus, gang vocals, groove-heavy riff, stirring synths and seemingly endless supply of hooks was everything that Bring Me The Horizon had ever promised to be in a perfect four minutes and three seconds. If you were one of the people to hear it that day, then you can probably remember having to scrape your jaw off the floor in the immediate aftermath of the song finishing. Carter debuted the song Shadow Moses on BBC Radio 1. The first listen to this new sound that fans got was on January 4 2013, when Daniel P. It was a turning point for the album when he got involved, he’s responsible for a big part of that new sound.” I don’t think many people find people like Jordan in life, someone you can trust to do something like that. We connect on a very similar level, even if we don’t know the same bands and music, we both know the same elements of music and what makes a song good. He’s got loads of style, he’s got loads of ideas and he listens to music that I don’t listen to. “He’s amazing,” Sykes told The Independent of Fish. This clearly led to some tension within the ranks of BMTH, with an announcement two months prior to the record’s release that guitarist Jona Weinhofen had left the fold and that Fish was now a full-time member. Where initially he would play what he was told, he was now going back to Sykes’ house after a day spent in the studio and continuing to write with the vocalist and Malia, away from the rest of the band. But as their desire to use more electronics grew, so Fish’s role increased, to the point where, as Sykes told Rock Sound, he had become “One of the leaders in terms of composition.”įish’s confidence grew as the recording went on, and he began to dictate the sound and feel of the new material. Jordan Fish had begun working with the band as a session musician for the album, adding keyboards and samples to the new songs.
He certainly could, but it wasn’t Date who proved to be the key contributor in helping Bring Me the Horizon find their new identity. But it was Dates' work on Deftones White Pony and Limp Bizkit’s Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water that really sealed the deal, BMTH believing Date could make them sound like an entirely different band. They were joined by producer Terry Date, a man responsible for capturing the sound of some of the most definitive metal records of the past 30 years: Vulgar Display Of Power, Astro Creep 2000 and Badmotorfinger to name just a few. BMTH did no press at all during 2012, instead holing themselves up in Angelic Studios in Brackley, Northamptonshire, writing material and listening to scores from movies as inspiration, with the 28 Days Later soundtrack proving a particular favourite.
