Avenged Sevenfold New Album - Nightmare

Avenged Sevenfold released Nightmare - their fifth album - in the summer of 2010. Produced by Mike Elizondo (Dr. Dre, Eminem) and mixed by noted engineer Andy Wallace, Nightmare was in the works when the band's beloved drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, passed away. The Los Angeles Times has praised Nightmare's "elegiac power ballads," and called it "the band's most personal effort yet." USA Today declared, "A7X has as broad a musical palette as any act in metal, with soaring guitar melodies and sorrowful ballads that offset growling metalcore vocals and Metallica-like jackhammer rhythms."

Avalon's Comments: Avenged Sevenfold

For the hardcore lovers, check out Avenged Sevenfold. They have three albums out; Sounding The Seventh Trumpet, Waking The Fallen, and their most recent, City Of Evil. They're currently working on a new album.

My favorite song by them is probably "Unholy Confessions" or maybe "Beast And The Harlot." Both are fast-beat, and aren't completely screams. I got into them watching Fuse summer of 2005 and saw Bat Country, then my friend recommended listening to them more.
