Behind the track
Can You Feel My Heart
by Bring Me The Horizon
Sempiternal came out in 2013 and quietly rewired what Bring Me The Horizon could be. Keyboardist Jordan Fish had been playing sessions with the band, and when he joined full-time his electronic instincts changed the whole equation - he's credited as both performer and co-songwriter across the record, threading synth into the metalcore DNA until the sound was something genuinely new. The album debuted at number three on the UK Albums Chart, and a decade later Metal Hammer called it 'the most influential metal album of its generation.' Before Sempiternal, mainstream breakthrough had stayed just out of reach; after it, the band became one of the biggest names in modern rock.
