AVENGED SELF-TITLED REVIEW - THECELEBRITYCAFE.COM

2009-06-16T23:51:00.000-07:00

TheCelebrityCafe.com did a review on Avenged Sevenfold's selftitled album. To be quite honest, I never really understand why reviews are made of albums that have been released for over a year ago, but I guess it's still interesting to see how people review things. Follow this link to read the full thing!

Avenged Sevenfold has always been a band obsessed with retribution, as
their name and recorded output show. Peculiarly for a monstrous metal band, the
members seem to have no problem turning a reflective eye inward rather than, but
occasionally with, a vicious eye pointed at the outside world. Their self-titled
fourth album is the band’s perfect mix of the two moods.Seemingly, “Avenged” is
something of a concept album. Though the band has not released any materials
sponsoring this notion, a majority of the songsconnect in ways that are more
than just thematic similarities. The “story line” behind the record appears to
concern the evolving fate of an unnamed man as his violent tendencies and lust
for adventure distance him from his true love. As he roams, he finds increasing
emptiness and loneliness overtaking him, making the protagonist regret his
decision and lose himself in self-destructive tendencies. The album ends on a
disquietingly ambiguous note as the lead character’s fate is never stated,
though it is implied he has found some kind of inner peace.

WHY THE WORLD NEEDS AVENGED SEVENFOLD - EXAMINER.COM

2009-06-16T23:46:00.000-07:00

Billie Shoemate from Louisville Metal Music Examiner wrote an interesting article on Avenged Sevenfold, full of praise and simply providing an explanation of why the world needs Avenged Sevenfold.

Avenged Sevenfold is wearing the boots, leaving a death bat logo right on the
rear end of the music industry, hopefully leaving it there for many years to
come as this amazing band shows metal how it should be done.

TOP 10 A7X SONGS - ASSOCIATEDCONTENT.COM

2009-06-15T21:39:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we asked you to share your top Avenged Sevenfold songs, and today we’ve come across an in depth look at another list of Top 10 Avenged Sevenfold songs from AssociatedContent.com. We’ve just selected the top 3, but you can find the link to the entire list below.
3. Seize the Day – City of Evil (2005)
Now, Seize the Day has one of the most intense meanings. The message being conveyed has to do with the fact that life is short, and could end at any moment, so you should live your life to the fullest every moment. This is a kind of change of pace Avenged Sevenfold song, at least in my opinion, and although not the intense instrument play, it has the meaning behind it which sets it apart from the rest.
2. Chapter Four – Waking the Fallen (2003)
Chapter Four displays supreme drum play at the beginning of the song which sets the tone throughout. Song is great for making covers, getting pumped up for a sporting event, or just relaxing to and listening.
1. Afterlife – Avenged Sevenfold (2007)
From the sound of the song, I believe it to be about someone who had died, possibly from drug overdose or something along those lines, and is asking for another chance at life. Afterlife displays incredible instrument play, great vocals, and a great meaning. Best song on their newest album, and possibly their best created.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD CONCERT REVIEW

2009-06-09T01:02:00.000-07:00

Avenged Sevenfold first appeared on the rock scene in 2001, when they dropped their first album. Not much noise was made though, until their smash single "Bat Country," was released in 2005. The hard rocking group has now graduated to playing arenas. Avenged Sevenfold headlined the bill as their tour rolled through the Oracle Arena. Vacaville natives Papa Roach delivered with everything a rock show should be. The hometown band supplied solid performances of old and new songs that the fans ate up. "Last Resort," as well as "Scars," were met with huge ovations. Lead singer Jacoby Shaddox, most recognizable nowadays for his stint as the host of MTV's Scarred, is obviously no stranger to the big stage. Shaddox ran the length of the stage many times, ending a few songs in the middle of the general admission crowd. Papa Roach may not be the most talented band out there but they do provide catchy songs and a front man who is extremely entertaining. The night took a turn from pop punk to hard rock when Buckcherry hit the stage. The tour veterans are best known for hits such as "Sorry," and "Everything." They can certainly crank up the amps though. Many fans in the audience may have been expecting the radio version of this band to show up at the live show and that was not the case. Lead singer Josh Todd was shirtless for the bulk of the set, playing to the girls who were pushed up against the stage. Todd's stories between songs, mostly about his drug use, were not only funny but kept the pace moving as well. The general admission floor flooded with fans when Buckcherry took the stage, and the mosh pits started shortly after the first song had begun. The set concluded with "Crazy Bitch." The bands performance overshadowed those of their tour mates, with amps still buzzing, the band exited.Avenged Sevenfold brought an elaborate stage with them. It was hard not to look at the bands logo as it was plastered on every possible empty surface. Lead singer M. Shadows emerged and was met with huge screams. Donning his signature aviators and all black attire he launched into "Almost Easy." Avenged Sevenfold gives off the vibe that they are trying way too hard to be a hard rock group. While most of their songs fall under the pop rock title the band tries to sound, and look, edgier live with stacks of amps and black leather jackets. Whatever they're trying to do it doesn't quite work. The huge advertisement behind them, that apparently the band calls a stage, negates the indie underground vibe the band is trying to emanate. Minus all the showmanship the group is solid musically. M. Shadows has a voice made for rock and Synyster Gates provided guitar riffs that shortly took the attention away from the overuse of the lights and smoke. Judging by the attendance, the arena was about a quarter full, it doesn't seem that Avenged Sevenfold is ready for gigs of this size. They closed out the show with the aforementioned hit "Bat Country." The show would've been better suited to a smaller more intimate venue, maybe in a few years, with a few more singles under their belt, the band will be back.Concert Review By: Tyler Sobie DoubtingSalmon
