City of Evil is hands down my favorite album, and my favorite style that they would play. You get tastes of it in later songs like Natural Born Killer from the Nightmare album or St. James from Hail to the King. However, when a band experiments with their styles with every album its fun to listen to it new as you never really know what you're going to get and that's exciting! Not my cup of tea on this first track, but maybe it'll grow on me with the rest of the album they release

13:27 avenged in their Trax podcast in which they talk about this song they reference what you're saying. Specifically in the strings and the horns, they wanted a very raw and human sound; tiny imperfections and all. And the solo, originally synyster wanted to do the solo on some weird 7/8 string fretless guitar contraption, but eventually was talked into just playing on a regular guitar. He was apparently really attached to trying to make the weird contraption work and because of that hated the end product solo in Nobody for a while. Anyways, back on track, A7X are perfectionists, but they embrace human imperfections and raw sound

Excellent work in Nobody! Im betting some real soul searching took place between man and man, and man and instrument.

When you said it has to grow on you...that's 100% true. Both my buddy and I separately listened to the album and were like "I mean, it's cool and different but nothing GRABBED me." I've literally listened to it dozens of times now and absolutely love it.

WOW. I always felt that City of Evil was my favorite for many particular reasons that I could cherry pick, and the other albums were missing "something" for me, but I never realized it was that power metal feel. Your words give meaning to a sensation I couldn't put my finger onto.

I wasn't big on them on past titles but this song hits hard and I love the riffs and vocals on this song. I have to say it is their best in my opinion. That tone in the background for vocals is the best.

Absolutely right on the city of evil album, great video on the new song, this brought back memories of getting annihilated by through the fire and flames on guitar hero 😂

For non guitar players.....it's his voice. How every singer sounds different, so do guitar, bass, and drummers. This is high praise to basically someone is able to change their "Voice" after years and years. I love this song and hope this is the direction A7X keeps going.

A legend taking a look at another legend, what a treat! Love to see you checking out some of there other songs, such as cosmic. Btw, City of Evil definetly is a power metal album in disguised.
