Avenged Sevenfold

[Mattman]

there;s already a thread about his band

Then put it in there.

City Of Evil is a GREAT album!

[Oddy]

i love city of evil. fucking great album. i find myself listening from the second half onwards but. maybe the first 5 songs or so are yet to grow on me.

i hated avenged sevenfold earlier albums with a passion. sounding the seventh strumpet and waking the fallen. when i heard those albums i thought jeez this band could be so good if they actually wrote good songs and not shitty genereic metal core. now with the new album they've broken away from metalcore finally.

City of Evil = Pwnage

Just been reading about them in the latest Kerrang mag.  3 of the members favourite albums are GN'R ones so they seem to be big fans and the article cites them as the most dangerous rock 'n' roll band since GN'R so im definately intrigued but i get the feeling Kerrang may be talking out of their arses...they seem to have a habit of doing that, anywayz i think i might download some of their stuff see what their like....anyone got anything positive to say about them?

If u like screamo vocals u'll be okay, but it just turned me off....

They made me laugh - I couldn't even get through 1 song when I listened to the CD at a store.  This is the kind of music you listen to to piss off your parents or go see live in concert b/c you like to mosh and crowd surf.  Pretty shitty music/band.

You obviously don't like hardcore, or probably any punk for that matter. Metalcore combines metal riffs and melodies with hardcore breakdowns, vocals and energy. It's one of the best fusion genres out there. It's not thrash, so it's not fair to compare it to that. It's its own thing. Thrash, intrestingly, takes a lot of its style from punk.

mrlee whats songs dis you heard? 

totaly crap? i can understand you dont like it the songs but the new album its pretty cool and indeed sounds alittle bit like Guns .

May i just say, when i posted that, some idiot sent me a few songs over msn, from there previous albums which was screamo, i hate that stuff, but they told it was from the new album, so i thought  fuck that.

Luckily i heard "the beast and the harlotte" and was blown away, so i got the album and it was great, other than the lil weaky parts they put in for chorus's or something.

I like the old stuff too, its just the new stuff totally eclipses it.

Downloaded "Bat Country" legally from Musicmatch and I must say, it's damned good stuff. I'm gonna pick up the album tommorrow.

[BLS-Pride]

I bought the CD and I was impressed with the guitar and drum works. They have some real, real talanted players in the band. Their songs are pretty good. Could be in the emo grouping but I do not refer to them as that. Promising young band with a different feel to the modern day metal.

Covering Walk. Pretty fucking good. Poor quality.. But you can still get a feel.

[mrlee]

there new single almost easy is a big improvment over there earlier stuff.

finally they ditch the stupid cheese.

[The Dog]

almost easy is a good tune.  critical acclaim is ok, growing on me but i could see getting bored of it fast.  can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

[Robman?]

I agree, I like almost easy, and critical acclaim kinda sucks. This band rocks, though it would be great if they ditched the eye shadow as well.

yeah, the whole "image" thing is just a distraction, i have a feeling they'll be ditching it soon.  still though, i can't think of any other bands out there in the mainstream that are trying to sound like true hard rock/metal besides avenged sevenfold.   Thats not to say there aren't, i just don't know who they are.

and this is awesome by the way:

[Robman?]

I agree.

I still think the band is bordering on becoming a true credible hard rock band, with songs like bat country or almost easy, and becoming something different. They could easily become a great band, like it says on the new issue of guitar world, or they could become a shitty band like dragon force.

what are you on about?, Critical acclaim owns!.Almost easy isn't nearly as good.

The new song is good but i still think critical acclaim is really catchy.
