How Hot Should Pizza Oven Be?




Avenged Sevenfold-Avenged Sevenfold

Earlier this year, a popular British magazine, in introducing the new album more interesting year, with respect to Avenged Sevenfold, poses this question: Will the A7X to write an album more over the top of City Of Evil?
good question, because all we asked him to. Yet the band, from my point of view, having done everything possible to promote the previous album (almost a year and a half tour) will be the brain and not a little deep thinking about this question. Luck has it that the five Huntington Beach for ideas they have in spades, and in fact after a few months of total silence, the frontman, M. Shadows, announced that the new album would follow the philosophy: less is more.
promise kept.
is closed then the page linked to City Of Evil, the album's most ambitious, lavish and technical Avenged Sevenfold to land on another route, different and a bit 'less moody, made from a strong rock base where pop melodies and metal riffs come together.
Put it this way, if City Of Evil album was the band's baroque, this is what neo-classical.
Actually, the attack of this new self-titled album, is still the sign of the complex technical and stylistic solutions. Indeed Critical Acclaim has powerful riffs, and new at the same time: for example Shadows using a style more "spoken", or The Rev singing, but overall this is a great piece that will look great live.
Almost Easy, by contrast, keeps his promise: metal less technical ride, but with the addition of a plan that is very appropriate backbeat and chorus that will delight fans Sevenfold on stage. The new A7X
pass mainly through the third track, entitled Scream , which leads them far enough away from their past, but shows considerable creativity. Another nice gift for fans and for those who love songs with a lot of groove.
In the next song brings up the musical references in the past have made the fortune of A7X: Afterlife attack has a loooong Maiden is in general a structure close to the English band, not counting the refrain that fully shows what the band knows how to flirt with California-based reasoning with pop.
Gunslinger shows the first sign of links with the past band's creative because it takes up the discourse of balld Seize The Day, but did not repeat the excellent result. Instead
Unbound us back in territories Maiden-like, with clear references also to the style of City Of Evil and finally with the long-awaited couple of guitar virtuosity of Gates-Vengeance. Beautiful even in this situation the level of background el'approdo the final stage of the song that has become ever more lavish and then culminate in a verse played by singer Shanna Crooks. The next song is
Brompton Cocktail : a great rock song, with the addition of arches, which once again brings out the groove side of the band and the ability to create infectious choruses, all the better to prepare the listener coupled with the album Lost -A Little Piece Of Heaven.
The first song sticks with the two guitars that are chasing each other recalling that still know how to wear Sevenfold elegant and gorgeous as the dress and when they want and that Syn, despite his young age, can challenge head-on the best guitarist around. The second is really the stroke of genius, the challenge, the chance: this is about Danny Elfman goes metal! Eight minutes of pure musical madness, between dark and mysterious atmosphere, melodic strings, all on a sumptuous carpet rock. This song alone is worth the album price: just fantastic.
Finally, all culminating in Dear God, country-pop song listenable, but that adds nothing to the value of the disc.
From the perspective of this text we can speak of a step forward and one back for the courage Brompton Cocktail of is certainly to be admired (from memory I do not remember a metal song that speaks of euthanasia) and the text of A Little Piece Of Heaven is sick and crazy at least as the background music, while in Gunslinger Almost Easy and , texts fall a bit 'anonymity.
Once finished listening to Avenged Sevenfold is all the more clear and obvious: there really was the turning point (and there are three!) And once again was faced with courage and intelligence fielding el 'musical intuition. If with Waking The Fallen the A7X had invented the "metalcore played by Metallica" City Of Evil and the "born from the fusion of metal Iron Maiden / Guns 'N' Roses / Pantera" with this album he invented the "pop-metal with Avenged Sevenfold and at once sweep away all the pop metal 80 years.
If this will mean there will really be put into the Walk Of Fame. Long live the
Avenged Sevenfold!
