Sempiternal is still considered one of Bring Me The Horizon’s most iconic albums and is the first to feature Jordan Fish. Matt Nicholls personally names the album as the best of their career because the band put it together during a very difficult time.

To write properly for the album, the band took a break from touring. Some fans were recorded for choirs, as well as team members from Drop Dead Clothing, Sykes' fashion label.

The logo features the Flower of Life, which ties in with the album title Sempiternal, meaning “everlasting”. Due to numerous personal problems in the band, burnout, and Oli Sykes' rehabilitation, themes like addiction and forgiveness also run through the album.

By the way, the song title “Shadow Moses” was originally just a working title that somehow stuck. The intro and outro are inspired by the game soundtrack of “Metal Gear Solid” (“The Best Is Yet To Come”), while the title refers to a location in the game.
