I see absolutely nothing wrong with that sentence--after all, sometimes you need long sentences to break up the flow of a paragraph (and in any case, it seems that this semicolon use is exclusively a choice the author made to articulate and punctuate a point)--but you do bring up an interesting point, namely, #animmensepileoffilth.

Sentences, man. Sentences.
