AVENGED SELF-TITLED REVIEW - THECELEBRITYCAFE.COM
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.
