First. I can't load it from where I am, but I assume it is bad.

In just after the hate comment!!

Meh it had some alright musical elements for like 20 second periods but overall it was just bland and wandering. I liked the harsh vocals actually but his clean voice does not do it for me.

dear god this is bad

Not gonna listen, but it's bad.

Typical mediocre A7X

Can't wait to check this out! I fived all their albums.

I'm actually half way through now. The music is just so bland.

And Matt is a travesty.

Acquired taste.

To be fair, this is really bad.

Acquired taste.

And it took some work but I learned. You can too.

fun fact: i actually hadnt listened to it when i made that last comment.

still havent heard it. nor do i want to.

Don't bother.

And it took some work but I learned. You can too.

whether its good or not is up for debate. Some will say it sucks cuz its not their type, others like it. I happen to like avenged sevenfold, does that mean my opinion is wrong? lol

"I happen to like avenged sevenfold, does that mean my opinion is wrong?"

yes.

whether its good or not is up for debate. Some will say it sucks cuz its not their type, others like it

Way overproduced.

lol sarcasm? just being honest, this site just seems to have a huge hate on for them haha

oh hahaa

This is like a 4chan "You Rage You Lose" video if I've ever seen one. See how long you can make it through the song before you get angry and go back to listening to Waking The Fallen...

This song wasn't anything special, mediocre considering what this band is capable of. I dont understand all the A7X hate on this site.

Because you like them.

like omg, avenged sevenfold is totally the greatest band evar! lol

Anyone else notice that this is supposed to be the theme to black ops? They're about 6 months late on that. This is funny cause BO is a great and this.... Is not.

m shadows' fucking nightmares = 2deep4u

We hate them cause they are bad. Some people like bad music. Now THAT'S insightful.

Uhh

A7X obviously isn't ready to die. Which wouldn't be bad if they made another waking the fallen and not this piece of crap.

I might be the only person who thinks Waken the Fallen is their worst album.

"I dont understand all the A7X hate on this site."

Even Metal has hipsters buddy. And a lot of them are on Sputnik.
Although Avenged do take themselves a little too seriously for guys wearing eyeliner.

Song's decent. Sounds like a b-side from Nightmare.
Losing hope this band will ever be as good as it used to be.

Wrong. Song/band is bad and should not be listened to by people over the age of 14.

I don't get what you guys are talking about i love this song... well i loved the end anyway, the bit after the music stopped

Sputnik hating on something that isn't some obscure euro black metal EP that sounds like it was recorded underwater with a yack back and mixed by hellen keller? No shit.

For being just a one-off single the band cranked out, this song was surprisingly really good. Could have easily replaced several of the tracks on nightmare. Awesome intro and a really fun solo.

I didn't think the song was that bad honestly. If they bring back the harsh vocals more for later material I'll be happy.

How many songs have they used that same intro in? 15?

Another Call of Duty?? *facepalms*

Band is unbelievably awful.

lol@ people still caring

I like it. Pretty cacthy.

I liked the second half of the song where they threw in the piano melody from the main menu in Zombies and then it was ok till the end. The first half is pretty bad though, mostly due to Shadows' vocals.

"Sputnik hating on something that isn't some obscure euro black metal EP that sounds like it was recorded underwater with a yack back and mixed by hellen keller? No shit."

lolololololololololololololololol

Seriously, what the fuck are they talking about, CoD:BO? Pretty sure that game has already been out for a minute...

Yeah I just noticed it says 'forthcoming' game up there lol Black Ops has been out for a while now, the song itself is featured on the new Zombie map Call of the Dead from the Escalation map pack that came out Tuesday.

Alright, thats kind of what I figured - that it might be part of a map pack or something.

yep this sucks alright

yep this sucks alright [2]

It's not THAT bad. Better than s/t, but that's not saying much. What happened to Matt? He just sounds like a prick now, used to like his vocals on Waking the Fallen.

"BO is a great"
haha no
Anyone who thinks the newer CoD games are good hasn't played enough video games.

Song is ok. I never really liked A7X, Shadows' vocals have got to be some of the worst in rock.

1. Click on link
2. Video begins to load
3. Wait, seven minutes of A7X?
4. Close tab

I have nothing against A7X, I used to like them before I got into heavier stuff, but this song is pretty terrible... A7X fanboys need to stop claiming that everyone disliking the song is bashing A7X just because they're A7X; the song is just bad.

Also Battlefield > CoD, who else is looking forward to November for BF3 and Skyrim?

This sucks

Sounds like... well, everything they've ever written after "Waking the Fallen" Good way to do some variation, A7X

This would have fit on Nightmare quite well, though it might have been a tad ironic...

In all honesty it isn't that bad comparatively, it sits slightly above most of their mediocrity for me.

The ending is awesome.

anyone hearing some call of duty zombies music going on at 4:40?

Whispering in songs is really fucking hardcore now.

I hate whispering in songs.

Sputnik hating on something that isn't some obscure euro black metal EP that sounds like it was recorded underwater with a yack back and mixed by hellen keller? No shit.

You's are all so spiteful, haha. Avenged Sevenfold have had some mediocre song's and their sound hasn't exactly been consistent over the years but that doesn't necessarily make them a "horrible" band.

"Sputnik hating on something that isn't some obscure euro black metal EP that sounds like it was recorded underwater with a yack back and mixed by hellen keller? No shit."
Don't forget- Vinyl only.

Actually, make that cassette; we don't want to get all stylish and shit

It's good. Not great but good.

did Portnoy play on this?

drumming is as boring as ever

My little brother showed me this and insisted that I would like it. I have to say it's gotten to the point where they literally can't get any worse. It's sooooo boring (Like CoD)

Wow out of all the drummers they could have got. They pick the most boring one who used the same 2 double bass patterns through the whole song damn near, hell Zac from Parmore drums better than this...

Man, nothing like a new Avenged Sevenfold song to bring out the cynical nerds.

Flat out mediocre. Typical A7X. I never liked this band because their vocals always bugged me.

Vocals bug lots.

youtube comment: "screamo is more highpitched and with different guitar styles(less hard) metalcore is normally deeper vocals with heave emphysis on breakdowns(excuse my spelling)"

heh heh heh heh that's just plain silly

@ ItalianStallion: Just cause I'm not fond of something doesn't mean I can't post on it. Maybe you like A7X. Great. I could see how someone could. I for the most part, don't.

1st half of the song is kinda bland. When that piano section hits, that was outstanding. I dont know why they dont incorporate more piano sections into their music, cause it seems like when they do, they usually do it very well.

fuck these guys, only good album of their is waking the fallen. and that at most is a 4 but id give it a 3.5

but fuck you if you spout shit without actually hearing them.

Some parts weren't half bad, but otherwise was pretty bad, especially Matt


Why won't they kick that douche out already?

hahaha johnny

My big brother insists that M. Shadows has a badass voice. Then again, he's a big A7X fanboy.

thank you for that lovely information

No prob. It's just that I told him what most of you think about his voice and he says you're morons. Different strokes obviously.

that was sarcastic no one cares about what your brother thinks

Cool.

yep

i was actually really interested

I fap to the thought of your brothers fandom.
does this phase you?

The best part of the song is definitley where Matt isn't singing.

the best part of this song is when it fucking ends. fuck this band. they are just awful.
