Avenged Sevenfold consists of:
M. Shadows,
Zacky Vengance,
Johnny Christ,
Synyster Gates,
And Mike Portnoy (touring member replacing The Rev - Deseased)
My Rating - 4.5/5
"Nightmare" is Avenged sevenfolds fifth studio album, and the first without previous drummer "the Rev" who passed away in late 2009. Fiction was the last song wrote for the album by the Rev who died shortly after compelting it, due to some studio time before his death there were a few vocal and drums files that were, perfectly, tuned. The song Fiction contains a vocal duo between M. Shadows and the Rev it is also the first song off all 5 albums to not contain any guitar riffs. The first song "Nightmare" has been nominated for best song at the "kerrang awards" but lost out. "God Hates Us" is the first song scicne the City of Evil album to contain screaming lyrics from M. Shadows, Mike Portnoy, while not being a permanent solution, has filled in well to finish the album and all of the 2010 touring dates. The bands musical style has differed on each of the previous 4 albums and this one doesnt differ from that trend, while there are hints of new there are also hints of the A7x of old. "Save Me" becomes the longest song the band has recorded, not counting "I Won't See you Tonight Pt. 1 and 2 which were recorded individually, at 10.53 minuites in length.
With a lot of emotion put into "Nightmare" where A7X ends up is anyone guess, but this album should keep fans satisfied for a while to come, and you can gaurentee with the loss of one of their main song-writers Avenged Sevenfolds style will change yet again on any future album, A change that i for one welcome as its striving away from the normal rock genre.
