Remember when i said i was done with list's?
Yeah i am not, as my good friend Annika suggested for me to do this list so shout out to her!
Now this list is all about A7X as you can gather from the gifs and title of this post. I'll name my 10 fave tracks and we'll rock out cool bro? Cool!
I used to be a big Avenged Fan when i was a teenager i have come off them a bit since their work after Nightmare album has so far not been too good but we will see if they pick up again. Before we begin their self titled album is my fave album followed by Nightmare so expect to see a bunch of those songs wind up here. No idea what else to say other than READ ON!
Great song to kick off my list and one of the most played songs by them aswell. It's the story of the fall of Babylon. The Harlot signed a deal with the devil to being as many to his side as she could, and demons were always with her. The devil and the harlot were the key to the fall of Babylon. When she finished her job, though, and returned to the devil, he then took her soul because everyone loses when they side with him over God. The end part is a quote "serve above or be a king below with us" Is loosely based on Paradise Lost, where they discuss the fall of Satan from heaven. He believed it better to be a king in hell than a servant in Heaven. Though once you're in hell, you're soul is forgotten and gone forever and you can never be redeemed.
Beautifully structured song in my opinion right from the start and i utterly love the bass track to this song it's killer! Straight from M.Shadows mouth. Afterlife is about a man who died but as he gets into his afterlife, he realises that there's too much stuff back on earth for him to do so he tries to escape from his afterlife.
What a song! It's about how when we go through life, we have to face many challenges, but here the person speaking says that he is willing to face them and live on. Also , time passes and we don't have a lot of time to full fill our goals.
When a7x wrote this song, they very well could have been writing from the perspective of a soldier (i tend to think so because of the drumline), but it can easily be taken as a metaphor for depression, suicide, or be related to by everyone who has fought their own war in life and coming home after it. A beautiful, well written song. The entire Nightmare album is a masterpiece.
This is a wicked song it's sound is quite incredible i find and how they blended in with the cod zombies sounds also was wicked! The song appears to be written from the viewpoint of Dr. Richtofen. It's been confirmed by M. Shadows in an interview with Revolver that he did write the song about the Call of Duty Zombies storyline. The "evil" is the results of research on Element 115 which caused humans to be zombified. This research used to belong to Doctor Maxis. Richtofen killed Maxis and essentially stole his research (the "evil").
It is directly related to Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The Music video is actually made to resemble the movie. The phrase " Too Weird to Live but to Rare to Die was actually said about Hunter's long friend Oscar Zeta Acosta. If I remember properly this song was released after Hunter S. Thompson killed himself with a single bullet to the skull, hence the "My Hand is on the trigger, I'm ready to ignite". The Phrase at the beginning and closer towards the end "I'll make a beast out of myself, helps get rid of the pain of being a man" comes from Dr.Johnson's quote "He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man". This same quote is at the beginning of both the Book and the Movie. EXTENSIVE RESEARCH FOR THE WIN! I have also never seen the movie but i have heard this song quite a lot!
The lyrics are based on the devil's intent to turn a person's life around for the better, and to prove he's better than the divine. These few lines give it away. See, I have pity in watching you suffer. I know the feeling of being damned alone. Well I can promise you paradise, no need to serve on your knees. Immerse yourself into the kingdom of redemption. Pardon your mind from the chains of the divine. It was said in an interview that this song was supposed to be "Like a roller coaster through Hell" by Shadows himself.
Ah a loving tale of boy meets girl boy kills girl eats her heart commits necrophilia, girl comes back to life kills boy, two go to hell get married, hell breaks out on earth and everyone lives happily ever after naww sweet romance right? What else can i say for this song, it's fucked up, fun, funny, catchy and a good song quite frankly.
This is my most listened to song by the band and for it's overplayedness (it's now a word) on radio or tv music stations in the past it is not number 1 i know it's a bit odd but hey i utterly love all the songs i have wrote out here and assembling them was pretty tough but hey that's where i will leave off because i forgot where i was going to follow up with but anyway what's this song about? Drugs/Alcohol abuse? Nightmares? Bad trips? Depression? Suicide? Mental Health? Yeah it's about them all and i'm not quite sure again with what to follow up with but it's a great track you know despite me not liking the fact it was massively overplayed.
What a song! One of my most listened to by the band, i know it's a surprise right to pick a song not on their albums but this is a fantastic song. Quite addicted to it and how catchy it is and how metal as fuck it is also and how it's message plays off. Shadows said himself; this song is obviously about carrying on through bad times, but he also said that the lyrics had a very special meaning directed towards the band and how no matter what they'll carry on as a team. The music video is also one hell of a creative video.
