Avenged Sevenfold Band • Page 3

This is actully really awesome.

 

Threw in waking the fallen and mostly regret it lol

 

apparently the new album is done

 

What's Elon Musk doing with them?

 

I feel like the idea of Elon Musk going by a stage name Synyster Gates would be entirely on brand for him.

 

Only words I can come up with on the new album is "theatrical clown rock"

 

Clown seems pejorative. Unless you mean like a sad clown, like tragicomedy? Not sure I really get it.

 

More just the image that my brain generates when listening to it, for some reason. But yeah, this really isn't my vibe at all; Waking The Fallen was my jam when it came out, but I haven't really liked anything they've put out since.

 

I guess I see Waking The Fallen the same way I do FOB's Cork Tree. It's a good album and has the DNA of what they'd become, but it's still a little too generic compared to the more varied and vibrant palette they'd paint with in the future.

 

Every Avenged Sevenfold Album Ranked Worst To Best (thehardtimes.net)

 

Cannot disagree more with having Nightmare and the self-titled over City Of Evil, The Stage, and the new album.

EDIT: To clarify, I feel like having a concept to work around and removing their creative brakes has allowed Avenged to really go above and beyond as a band with progressive elements and artistry.

The self-titled, while great, sounded like it had one ear toward mainstream success, and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, I think the fact that both The Stage and Life Is But A Dream seem unconcerned with being adaptable for radio works to their benefit.

Meanwhile, Nightmare to me is a harder album to digest; less accessible but not any more interesting for it. It's got good songs, but it's also got a few that are just kind of boring, IMO, to the point of almost being formulaic.

City Of Evil, I think worked because it wasn't deliberately accessible but managed it anyway on the strength of the songs. The Stage and Life Is But A Dream feel like they go closer to achieving that balance than the others.

 

this is sick!

 

this would be a fun tour if they did it, but a one off is still cool, love those two albums!

AVENGED SEVENFOLD announce club show celebrating 'Waking the Fallen' and 'City of Evil' (revolvermag.com)

 

Annoyed that they not gonna do any UK headline dates on this album cycle, their headline set at Download Festival last year was confirmed to be their only UK show on Life Is But a Dream album touring cycle :(

 

That feels like a blunder, not sure why they they would do that

 

I truly don't know what's going on, a fan actually met M. Shadows on the streets last year the night before one of their headline shows in Germany and they asked him if he was trolling about not doing any UK headline dates in 2025 and he said he wasn't and they announced a European tour for this summer and no UK headline or even festival dates over here.. it's such a blunder for a band that has had a number 1 album over here, headlined the main stage at download 3 times and have grew their fan base in the UK from the ground up from small venues to selling out arenas to now by the looks of things can't be bothered to do UK headline tour
