Members reo73 Posted August 24, 2005 Members Share Posted August 24, 2005 I finally got to hear these guys' music and to tell the truth I was completely blown away. Kinda like Prog meets Shred meets Nu-metal meets Queen. Great guitar work and amazing solos, amazing heavy riffing and very cool vocal melodies. So what's the scoop with this band?

Members wor lez Posted August 24, 2005 Members Share Posted August 24, 2005 I liked their last album a lot, and thought they were awesome live. I dont like the new album though - his singing style really grates on it. Its much more of a whine and he never sounds like hes actually trying hard like on waking the fallen.

I heard he had some serious vocal issues and was told to pretty much change his style or he would permanently lose alot of his voice. I can't remember where I heard that though...

Members GregMan Posted August 24, 2005 Members Share Posted August 24, 2005 I've only heard "Bat Country" and I like it a lot. But the drums are recorded TERRIBLY - worse than St Anger drums. Which is a shame because it sounds like the drummer kicks ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members reo73 Posted August 25, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 I don't know anything about their story or their names but I was suprised to see a bunch of guys that look like they stepped out of Good Charlotte rock and shred so much. Their sound is original (at least from my point of view) which is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dimes Bag Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 How come no one has mention AVENGED SEVENFOLD around here before? cause everytime they are brung up, someone has to say something about their names. but I personaly love avenged sevenfold. I bought city of evil not too long after it came out and I'm still impressed with the harmony everywhere. vocals, guitars, vocals & guitars, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nrarocks Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 people definetly mention them from time to time. they own, simply put. they're very tight and fun to watch live, and yes, their drummer is a beast, especially live. the names are kinda lame, but they rock and that's all that matters.

I can't remember where I read that either. yeah thats true. he CAN still scream, just a combination of it hurting his voice and a more mature sound that makes him not do it (much) anymore.
