Sempiternal

Sempiternal is BMTH’s fourth studio album and introduced a change in the band’s musical direction. Following the unceremonious departure of rhythm guitarist Jona Weinhofen, the introduction of keyboardist and producer Jordan Fish had a huge impact on the final record. This included a wide range of film score, electronic and pop influences. BMTH had always incorporated electronic elements in their music, but these elements were included in the foundation of the songwriting for the first time on Sempiternal.

Oli explained the album’s concept as a process of realisation for every song to lead into the next. The term “Sempiternal” is an old Latin word meaning “eternal, unchanging.”

[In a way] It’s too hard to say what the album’s about and that’s why it’s called Sempiternal, which means ever-lasting journey and that’s why our logo is called “The Flower of Life.” That’s sacred geometry and it basically represents everything that goes on in the universe.

Four singles were released from Sempiternal: “Shadow Moses,” “Sleepwalking,” “Can You Feel My Heart” and “Go to Hell, for Heaven’s Sake.”
