Sleepwalking (Bring Me the Horizon song)
"Sleepwalking" is a single by British rock band Bring Me the Horizon and the second single to be released from the album Sempiternal, on 1º March 2013. Widely received as one of the best Bring Me the Horizon[1] songs by fans and critics alike, it is the first single to feature front man Oliver Sykes guiding the song along a melancholic track through the use of clean vocals, moving further away from the strictly hardcore progressions and further towards experimentation with electronica.[2] The track combines synthesizers, ambient electronics and clean vocals with the band's typical use of heavy guitar riffs and screams. A music video was released for the single on the band's vevo channel on YouTube. The track is the second most played song on their spotify account, with 23 millions plays.
In a track-by-track interview with Metal Hammer, frontman Oli Sykes announced his intention to make this song the second single and described it as "one of [their] best written songs".[3] In its first week the song reached № 4 on the UK Rock Singles Chart, rising to number 3 the next. On 28 February it was BBC Radio's "Hottest Record in the World".[4] A 10" vinyl of the track was released for Record Store Day (20 April 2013).
