I’m not quite sure what to think of these guys. I like the way they sound, definitely, but it’s kinda hard to classify them. <a href=“www.purevolume.com/avengedsevenfold”>Their purevolume site</a> says they’re Hardcore / Metal / Punk. I agree on that, actually. They’re very versatile in their sound. Although, they do stick more to the metal side.
I recently got their newer album, Awaking the Fallen, and I love it. They’re all very talented in the fact that they actually know how to use their instruments, rather than just randomly putting shit together and hoping for a good sound.
Anyone else have some thoughts on this?
Edit: The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is the screaming… but I don’t even mind that too much.
I was supposed to see them once, in like the 8th grade, but they didn’t show. They’re allright I guess, nothing that special. If you like them then you may like the Blood Brothers, who are hella better.
I’ve only heard this song called ‘Darkness Surrounding’ wich I totally hate, and I’m not that impressed by their good musicianship, but that could be just me.
Well, compare them to a lot of bands out now, and you have yourself the reason I like them. They’re a breath of fresh air compared to all this annoyingly similar bullshit =\
They don’t sound all that different in my opinion. There was this programme on a radio station once wich featured Avenged Sevenfold and a lot of other shit and it all sounded the same… god I’m never listening to that again… the programma even had a name with ‘Metal’ in it… All I could think was: Where’s the fucking metal??
