Avenged Sevenfold: Parental Advisory - Avenged Sevenfold

Finally a new metal band that seemed to have moved away and sticks a middle finger and the awful emo rubbish that seems to be popular at the moment. Whenever any band are given the label 'metal' these days it instantly conjours up images of dreads, pink twisted beards head banging and a singer growling un-understandably down a mic (and they still manage to include lyrics with the booklet), but dont let this stereotype pigeon hole Avenged Seven Fold. They have some of the best vocals a have heard on any metel record, with as much range as the great sebastian bach. Great guitaring with riffs that would not be out of place in iron maiden or metallica with solos ...  Read the complete review

Avenged Sevenfold have been around for a lot longer than you may think, having released their first album in 2001, however mainstream success was not acheived till 2005's stonker 'City Of Evil'.

Avenged Sevenfold are by far the best band that I have ever heard and I think that they are quite possibly headed for immortality. Many people don't like the music on their latest self-titled album but I disagree most strongly, I think that the new album is purely excellent and I think that is because of the new places that the band are taking their music. As any true fans of A7X will know, M. Shadows had to have re-constructive surgery on his entire throat and trachea making him wary of doing all the heavy metal 'Screamo' that they used to do. I've met the man and he told me himself about the surgery and how he couldn't even talk at all for almost a month ...  Read the complete review

AVENGED SEVEN FOLD: AVENGED SEVENFOLD Critical acclaim 05:14 This song has an amazing drum beat and some cool little guitar riffs in there too. The best thing about this track is M will sing and then he will like sort of rap a verse and say stuff like so how do you feel knowing that every kid in America has the guilt on there hands because they are defending your country. Really amazing track Almost easy 03:54 This song has a brilliant video to it and the lyrics are flawless. The tempo and rhythm could not be better. I also like the little sarcasm shadow's uses after one of his lines singing im not insane he will do a sarcastic laugh ...  Read the complete review
