Avenged Sevenfold New Album- Hail To The King

6spd · 08-22-2013, 10:47 AM

Any other Avenged Sevenfold fans here? HTTK is awesome, I've listened to it so many times streaming it on iTunes!

Where is the 'remove rep' button when you need it? I hate that song with a heat of a thousand suns.

Just heard the next single Shepard of Fire on Octane this morning. They say it is Metallicaesque. I didnt really get that feel from it. It had bells at the beginning. For whom the bell tolls? But the radioheads are claiming it sounds like Sad but True....ummm again no.

Other than that I hope the album is good. I really like some of the riffs from Hail to the King. But lyrically it got old quick after a few listens.

Heard the whole album, nice comparison its very A LA modern Metallica/Guns n roses style

6spd · 08-22-2013, 11:27 AM

Right, its a style. A7X plays different scales than both GNR and Metallica, favoring straight up minor with creepy chromatics rather than rock-infused minor.

So far my favorite is Heretic and my 2nd is This means War, but Heretic tops it IMO

6spd · 08-22-2013, 01:03 PM

What's the name of the one with the really long guitar solo?

ZBro16 · 08-22-2013, 04:02 PM

Drastic change for A7X. I think this screams to me that the Rev was the brains behind this band. Not that the rest of them aren't musically talented, I just find this album to be far less musically intriguing.

But I'm a music snob.

The Rev seemed like a very zany person (hence A Little Piece of Heaven) and that showed in the writing. I think this new album is a straight up, better-than-anyone-else-can-do-it in this day and age, display of classic and modern metal. Especially when modern bands either produce cookie cutter mainstream hard rock or muddy, distorted screamo. For instance, there are a lot of modern rock bands, but they just about all sound like sevendust or slipknot.

I personally like the back to basics riffing style of this album. It'll add another dimension to their live shows thats for sure.

Only thing Im worried about is replayability. I can replay city of evil through carry-on all day everyday, and I do, but thats because its so intriguing. The new stuff... only time will tell but I have hope.
