Avenged Sevenfold-City of Evil

The new album is coming out June 7th, i've been waiting for this release since the release of their last album. I'm fucking stoked.

Here's the link to their site for more information.

download the first track "Beast and the Harlot"

The only worry I have is the singer said he won't be screaming anymore right? So I worried they would tone it all down to more rock stuff. Ug. But...

I'll go download that track and see if my worries are justified.

Alright after listening to the track here is what I think...

Music composition- Excellent as always. Glad to see they haven't toned it down like I was worried they might.

Verse vocals- I don't know, sounds too hair metal to me. Then again Avenged Sevenfold always gives off that vibe.

Chorus vocals- I like these. Good to see they are keeping the melodic edge too.

Crazy dual guitar solos- Excellent. More bands need to do this.

Lack of screaming vocals- Sad, but I can live with it.

Overall it's pretty sweet. I'll buy the album day one.

never liked 'em
still don't like 'em

Thanks for the track.

I miss the screaming, but maybe there will be some on other songs. But with Brinstar said i can also live with it, this song kicks ass and i believe the whole c.d will...just like always.

Soooooo....let's hear more about this.

*obligatory negative comment*

PISS OFF SISTER!


....no need for dickheadedness

worst band/humans ever.

What I don't understand is that (from what I've seen, anyway), Avenged Sevenfold seem to be totally cool and popular amongst all the sXe edge/hardcore types. Don't they realise that Avenged Sevenfold are the cheesiest band EVER?

I thought edgers were supposed to hate gimmicky cheese and have a no bullshit attitude or something.

Evidently not when it comes to 'Zacky Vengeance' and the crew!

Maybe they like kick ass music.

All straight edge, hardcore, and metal is cheesy to me. Add in punk and emo and every other scene. People get up on stage and they act differently, it's hilarious and, if looked at from an outside perspective, would definately come off as cheesy. But oh well, I'm there for music so I don't care.

too bad this music is lame

**** sits back and waits for all the scensters and elitists to come out and have a pop at a7x for being popular****

avenged sevenfold being god awful has nothing to do with being "scene" or "elitest". they were terrible when they were a ska band, they terrible when they were like a weird proto-punk/funk band and the one dude looked like he was in 311, and theyre terrible now as one of those dark, "glammy", shitty metalcore bands.

they were ska?!?!?

. . . .

was thier name at least as good as "Skabba the Hut"?
(I gotta admit, that's a funny ass name)

yeah, but they were prolly at their worst when they were like, weird proto-punk garbage. i remember seeing them play the last nemirah show and being like "are they fucking serious?"

no shit?

i shouldn't be surprised, but... wow, they truely are bandwagon-jumpers out to do what ever it takes to "make it big".
