Titled Hail To The King, the album is the follow-up to 2010′s Nightmare and will land on August 26, and will be the first Avenged album to feature no writing credits from The Rev, who tragically passed away in 2009. I liked their last album quite a bit so I'm looking forward to this. Of the little metalcore/metal I listen to, I really enjoy these guys.
The title track sounds pretty damn awesome to me, it has a great Iron Maiden vibe going on.[video=youtube;aRPiPb_UcdI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRPiPb_UcdI[/video]
Here is a video containing all released snippets. They sound great! [video=youtube;P3a3n7m-I3I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3a3n7m-I3I[/video]
Yah It really is bad. I've always really enjoyed the cover of Nightmare though. Seemed the least cheesy looking one.
All of them were kind of m3talz \m/ but at least they looked good. This looks very poorly put together.
Here is the full version of Hail to The King. Not sure how I feel about this song. It's kinda boring...[video=youtube;YTqiW654FkU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YTqiW654FkU[/video]
After giving it a few more listens I've grown to like it. I just hope the full album is a lot better. The solo is great though.
So they decided to change the album cover (prolly after all the negative reaction). Worst part is that this isn't any better.. maybe even worse:
How many variations are there going to be of the Waking the Fallen cover? They should of just stuck with the original Hail to the King cover.
