Shadows also threw a little of everything into the track, showing both melodic and screaming vocal approaches and even preaching a rant a few times in the song. Though the track didn't chart, it did become a fan favorite.
The song was written by the band's drummer, James "The Rev" Sullivan , but really turned out to be a group effort with all of the members chiming in on vocals at one point. The track almost had some extra pull early on as it was targeted for use in the Transformers soundtrack.
However, the band didn't finish the song in time, so it later turned up on the soundtrack of the film's sequel. Sure enough, a month later, the self-titled Avenged Sevenfold record debuted at No. It's kind of funny to wake up and see the words Avenged Sevenfold at the No.
So once again thank you from the bottom of our hearts. With the record doing well, Avenged Sevenfold pushed forward with "Afterlife" as the next single in January of The track was one of the more ambitious pieces on the record, including the addition of an orchestral string part that caught the ears of listeners.
In fact, fans voted "Afterlife" as the best song off the album in a poll at the band's website. Vengeance revealed that the song was about a man who dies early and finds himself in heaven. Upon entering, he realizes that he has too many things to do on Earth and to go back and make it right, he must escape from the afterlife.
Though it didn't fare as well as "Almost Easy," it did climb to No. Showing their versatility, "Dear God" had more of a country feel. In fact, Muzik Mafia member Shanna Crooks can be heard on backing vocals.
The final single from the record was "Scream," which brought things back to the heavier side. The tension building rocker arrived close to the end of support for the record, with the band announcing on Halloween, that fans were invited to make their own videos for the song as part of a contest. People have already seen me in my weakest state, I was humbled as far as a human could be. And those feelings are documented on the album. People are going to know everything we went through, they will see our sincerity.
Whereas before you might take shit for granted, now I feel deserving of every little triumph we have. And we know we have thousands and thousands of kids cheering our every victory, which is an incredible feeling. Jimmy contributed so much to us and now we get to carry his legacy on our shoulders and bring it to the entire world. But right now, they have unfinished business, for Jimmy and for each other.
Shadows slowly. Nothing we decide now is going to bring Jimmy back. In a July issue of Kerrang! Avenged Sevenfold. Svalbard in The K!
From Pink Floyd to Rammstein, these bands have seriously freaked out their fans…. Previous Entry Next Entry. And the absolute highlight? Put in context, though, and its impact is all the more hard-hitting.
Shadows later told Kerrang! Somehow, it all works incredibly well. Award for Best Album in It simply has So. Case in point: Brompton Cocktail. Named after a pain-relieving mixture of morphine, cocaine and heroin, it opens up with M.
