This song is from their album Waking The Fallen which came out before City of Evil! Edit: Yes it is Matt screaming.

The vocals are from shadows. The song is from waking the fallen, after this album they stopped these kind of screams in city of evil. Definately you need to check i won't see you tonight part2 it's similar style or even heavier and the lyrics are very deep. Make sure to remember what part 1 is about and sounds like before you do it. Nice reaction!!

Next Eternal rest

Like your voice and your reaction. Fan from Brazil. 😝

React to avenged sevenfold waking the fallen resurrected documentary

Haha great reaction. I know all my fellow a7x fans really want to hear eternal rest right when the song ends with “YOURE ALL DEAD TO MEEEEEEE” then the guitar blasts for eternal rest.

Played with a true conviction. They firmly believe in what they've produced here. That makes it all the more essential listening. Love 'em or hate 'em. A7X command by the hard work alone, that we at least hear them out with an open mind. Stupid thing is, I can't remember details ! The brain just won't click into gear today. Never the less, that's my issue, not the bands or Randi's.

My introduction to Avenged was through this album, Waking the fallen. I immediately latched onto this because it was really different than what I was used to listening then, like Lamb of God, Disturbed, and tons of other bands. This album was really influential to the bands that came after 2000s . The melodies, breakdowns, song structure, vocal melodies, everything was different. And I think that helped the band to stand out. I guess the vocals were done by Matt himself. Jimmy and Synyster had this other band called Pinkly Smooth. You should check that out too.

This is my favorite a7x song ever, it’s so good

knew you’d like this one, check out radiant eclipse of the same album, heavy riffing and screaming like this one

Finally !

Been waiting so much for this reaction!!!!! ty!!! keep it up!

should listen to this one with eternal rest right after, feel like the songs go together

I believe the screamer is the Rev

Avenged sevenfold - "The wicked end" or "the fight" to completely different vibes that you'll get from these songs Or if you want more a7x screamo check out "eternal rest" it has a ton of wicked energy, and I love how they ended it BTW "the wicked end" is from "city of evil" this song is from "waking the fallen

Next Crossroads by avenged Sevenfold. Please

Wow thanks so much for all the time you've put into these guys, I like the shirt A request, Linkin Park - P5shng me away live in texas is a really good one

M. Shadows voice was really good back then.

This song had more punk rock influences with the arrangements, drumming n guitar style(pick slides), etc. of playing n even the "whoa" lyrics. Used heavily in earlier A7X n used often in(some Genres)of punk rock. NOFX has a song called whoa on the whoas I believe. Mocking punk that overly uses that lyric as a breakdown too often. Even if poking fun at bands they admire, it's NOFX....🤔😄

This is the song you want to shake a pram to

I hate it when Eternal Rest isn't immediately after lmao this is my all time favorite song ever thanks for taking the time to listen

All Matt

You're really hearing a ton of those hardcore punk and punk rock influences on this song. They're not as prominent as on the first album, but still there on Waking the Fallen. This song hasn't been explained or analyzed a ton, but I view it as a mix of annoyance at both religious people and anyone who has expectations of someone creating something important. It seems Matt was saying reverence devalues the meaning of what he's doing. Like projecting religious imagery into the band's music where it doesn't exist takes away from his actual messages, and criticizing the band for not making the music a person wants devalues their attempt to release something musically valid to them. He's not trying to pander to them and be dishonest about what he's looking to achieve. All of these people looking at him, praying that he goes to heaven or trying to get on his good side so he'll make music they want, don't really care about him and are just defiling his career by trying to put him into a box. They don't care that he's happy with what he does and what he wants to do. They just want him to be who they think he is and do what they think he's doing. They don't care that he gets to heaven or that he wouldn't be happy if he made sellout music for them, essentially. Friends should support what he's doing and be grateful for who he is. The vocals were all Matt, this song is a definite gem, and I'm glad you love it! 🖤

This song is sick huh?
