2013 was a year jam-packed with epic releases, memorable pop culture moments, internet meme mania and the relief of surviving the 2012 apocalypse (well, not really). Music found itself in quite an interesting place; riding from the explosive high of 00s metal that seemed to dim as quickly as it lit, the early 2010s became something of a cooling-off period for the rightfully exhausted metalcore genre. Once every band you could find on a Warped Tour lineup had played the same riff into its grave, a change was well overdue.
Enter Sempiternal, released April 1 2013 by Sheffield five-piece Bring Me The Horizon. The expansive 13-track LP (if we’re counting deluxe editions, which we are) became a monumental release not only for the band’s career trajectory, but for what countless late-2010 metalcore bands would later example as their base for making music. Today, as the album's tenth anniversary draws near, we’re ranking every song on Sempiternal from start to finish.
