Avenged Sevenfold have revealed the album cover, title, and release date for their highly anticipated sixth studio album. Titled Hail to the King, the record will be released on August 27. All the details were uncovered via an online scavenger hunt that led fans to different websites, including RevolverMag.com, that were hosting puzzle pieces. Avenged Sevenfold will also be playing a free show at the Hollywood Palladium on August 26 to celebrate the album release.
I know this will get me downvotes, but the single bored me a bit and the rest of the album isn’t doing much for me. Everything feels a bit safe. Nightmare was a bit all over the place and took all sorts of twists and turns from beginning to end. This album really isn’t doing that for me, but I’m hoping it grows on me.
I felt kinda like you do, but now I’m hearing it for the 4th time and I’m becoming fond of it more and more
I was sitting down watching TV when i got a migraine headache and so i decided to go get some Advil for it but before I got to the kitchen my computer started playing “requiem”, within seconds my headache was gone. I believe I have stumbled upon a new medicine. Just think if one song can relieve a headache what could the whole HTTK album do????? OMG
What’s everyone’s favorite? I’ve only listened up to requirem but I love them all. I heard the last 3 are great! Is crimson day and heretic good?
Crimson Day and Acid Rain are my favourite. Tops I Won’t See You Tonight pt 1 as my favourite song of all time.
after the first listen, i would have to say planets, shepherd of fire and coming home. acid rain is definitely up there too. i’ll need to give it a few more listens though
Requiem, this is war, and shepherds of fire are my favorites. I like acid rain a lot also. Every song is good, it’s hard to pick a favorite
YES JUST YES THIS ALBUM IS JUST SO AMAZING
Great album, as expected. I have been monitoring this page since Hail to the King was put up here. Glad to see the leak happen. Acid Rain seems to be a community favorite all around.
The lyrics are phenomenal
I actually like all the songs. However, I can’t seem to pick a favorite.
Syn Did say he thought they were some of the best Shadows has written. He was right.
20,000,000/10 would buy 30 times over
sputnik music gave this album a bad review. sputnik music can suck a dick
Are you sure it was them or just a user on that site ?
oh never mind it was a user. that makes me feel better now, but still the dude gave it one listen and expressed his thoughts…one listen
What a bunch of low life moronic haters. Clearly the only genre they like is Metalcore since they seem infatuated with that word.
Anybody know the chorus of Acid Rain? I’m trying to type out the lyrics for all of the songs but I’m struggling with some parts.
All I can hear is “Children play in the garden” lol. I have no idea
That’s what I was thinking, but it just doesn’t seem right. Hmm…
Kinda sounds like “Can we still play in the garden, dance as the sun slips away”
Our day has come,
It’s drawn in the sky
So don’t shed a tear now,
Be thankful for the time
Life wouldn’t be so precious, dear, if there never was an end
Children still play in the garden,
Dance as the sun slips away
We stand on the edge now
We’ve come so far
Through all the dust, it becomes clear
You will always be my heart
There’s no death, no end of time, when I’m facing it with you
Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
Not even stars last forever
Cleanse us acid rain
Stand near to me
Don’t look, be brave
Over the blackened moon,
I’ll carry you away,
Through the planets we fly…
not sure if they’re accurate but that’s what i found online :3
I NEED ALL THE LYRICS RIGHT NOW omg the parts that i can interpret myself are so beautiful and perfect *_*
So nobody has found St. James yet
No ones gonna get it till the albums actually released. The only reason it was leaked was because A7X leaked it themselves and didn’t put out the bonus track. It.should be here the 21st. Because thats when the album comes out in Argentina
After listening to this album for the 5th time, I’m really liking the song heretic. That songs is really catchy and amazing
Anyone remember that one clip that got leaked a while back of that crazy ass guitar solo, kinda reminded ya of iron maiden. I noticed its not on the album, I wonder if it is in St. James. I hope so, I was looking forward to hearing that. It sounded badass, if its not in that song then what’s it from
which one? post it here.
I couldn’t find it, but it was posted a while ago. It was a clip of a minute long epic guitar solo. It was definitely a7x
i don’t recall anything like this and, belive me, i’ve seen every clip…
Sputnikmusic is gay, there is so many haters of this album. I think people are deaf and wouldn’t know a good album if it hit them in the vagina
Ok…..that blast in around 2:55 of Planets is so fucking dirty oh my god. That clip has been played for months, but with it’s build up and Shadows it’s fucking amazing…….F!
What’s your favourite song from Hail to the King so far? :)
Shephard of fire drumming sounds like trust by megadeth
Absolutely loving the album on second run through today lol.
Shepherd Of Fire had me air drumming at my desk at work haha
Fucking sweet album – loving This Means War, Heretic and Shepherd Of Fire.
I am sat air-drumming at my desk at work lol
Something that’s really pissing me off is that for years now, people have complained that A7X isn’t metal and they need to change. Now, with this album, A7X wrote a love letter to classic metal and people are still complaining about it lacking originality, which it clearly has with M. Shadows’ songwriting and singing.
Sputnik Music is fucking stupid. The reviewer only listened to the album once. The reviewer obviously has no experience in music reviewing. You can’t listen to an album once and expect to know all of the elements that make up each and every song. Ignore them and listen to somebody who actually knows what they are talking about on a different site. This was a great album!
Some emo kid review I guess…
The album is nice but not the best so far for me, it’s missing something… Something that Waking The Fallen and Nightmare had that make me love these albums. HTTK have a sound like City Of Evil, which is really not my fav one but there’s some masterpieces in here like Requiem, This Means War, Doing Time and Coming Home.
I really love coming home too!
I’m sorry, but HTTK sounds NOTHING like “City of Evil”. That album is a masterpice, IMO. HTTK, not so much.
Not the whole album but some songs sounds city of evil-ish like Heretic and… that’s much it lol.
Actually better than I thought. It doesn’t break new horizons, but damn is it a good listen. Shepherd of Fire has an addictive riff and made me air drum xD Other favorites are Requiem, Coming Home, and Acid Rain. Solid effort, they are going places.
http://simplysevenfold.tumblr.com/post/58803210673/syn-gates-on-vocals-m-shadows-playing-lead Is this St.James?
no
this album is so boring
And so is that fake shit you call WWE
Daniel Bryan! *clap *clap, *clap *clap *clap. Daniel Bryan! *clap *clap, *clap *clap *clap. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Who’s that?
Who’s that?
the bearded one, the most over superstar in the E right now. Yes! Yes! Yes!
Lame name. Doesn’t capture my interest. “The Rock”. Now that’s a name. This guy’s thing is that he has a beard? Umm… Ok then.
the rock is a bitch
But a guy WITH A BEARD and two first names isn’t? Man, WWE is confusing. Isn’t John Cena supposed to be your poster boy? His ugly mug is plastered on all the crap I see littered around Walmart these days.
john cena is actually out 4-6 months bcuz hes getting elbow surgery. Daniel Bryan is the future face of the company.
Is it because he has a beard?
im done here
No you’re not.
The rock is the best and an amazing actor as well. Daniel bryàn is gay and annoying. The new asking alexandria sucks. It’s not them, what happened to their heaviness, now their just another emo band. Get the fuck out of here with your gay wrestling shit and your emo ways of trolling
you guy deserve a medal.. come on.. asking alexandria deceived me :/
Asking Alexandria are way less emo, wtf u talking about? they are more an 80s influenced metalcore band now.
the WWE is “fake”? so are movies and tv shows pal. Plus the superstars actually put their bodies on the line every night. Pure ignorance.
So what’s your point? Many TV shows are fake. But WWE takes the cake for being the most scripted fake crap ever.
I’ll agree with you there. 20 foot jumps onto whatever, are still 20 foot jumps.
Asking Alexandria… ermm
I would approve if Coming Home were to be the next single.
