We were doing alright and playing some shows and now… now we’re one of the biggest heavy rock bands in the world. Oli explained the shift as due to maturing in age and shifting interests, as well as a desire to take the band further than ever before: This was a conscious decision for the band to embrace melody and reach a wider audience. With the official addition of Jordan Fish on 2013’s Sempiternal, the group has steered towards a more stadium-friendly alternative rock sound. In their original incarnation, they were known for fast blast beats and deathcore influences.
