It was released on 1 April 2013 worldwide through RCA, a subsidiary label of Sony Music Entertainment, and 2 April 2013 in the United States and Canada through Epitaph. It is the first album to feature former Worship keyboardist Jordan Fish and was believed to be the last album to feature guitarist Jona Weinhofen. However, Weinhofen's role within the album's development has been faced with controversy. Written and recorded throughout 2012, ''Sempiternal'' showed the band pool diverse influences from electronic music, ambient music and pop. "Sempiternal" is an archaic English word denoting the concept of "everlasting time" that can never actually come to pass. It stems from the Latin word "sempiternus" (a concatenation of root "semper" and suffix "aeternum"). The album has thus far spawned four singles ("Shadow Moses"; "Sleepwalking"; "Go to Hell, for Heaven's Sake"; and "Can You Feel My Heart"). The album made its debut at No. 3 on the UK Album Chart and is their second successive album to top the ARIA Charts in Australia. It also managed to reach No. 11 on the US Billboard Chart with 27,522 first week sales, making ''Sempiternal'' the band's highest charting album in America until ''That's the Spirit'' debuted at No. 2 in 2015. Upon its release, the album received critical acclaim. ==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.'' Afterward, they had intentions to issue a remix extended play consisting of electronica remixes of tracks off the album, all done by British electronic producer Draper, aiming for a tentative January 2012 release. However, because of the band's situation with their then-label Visible Noise, it was cancelled. Later that year, in July, it was announced that the band would be releasing their fourth album on RCA Records. 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. An example of this is where front-man Oliver Sykes and his brother, Tom, who directed the movie wanted to release a "behind-the-scenes" documentary of ''Bring Me the Horizon's'' tour called "Lads On Tour". This was to be a part of a re-release of their third album. However this didn't happen as Visible Noise couldn't pay for certain parts of the film. RCA Records have given Bring Me the Horizon lengthy support since their signing, the label introduces their signing of Bring Me the Horizon with the statement "signing you is as important as signing Metallica". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sempiternal (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
