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.
what about st. James? :C
Gotta wait for that one unfortunately
Its one song, just wait.
this album is like a journey…
I dont know why but I didnt like the album at first…after a couple of listens I’m now addicted
Could St. James be that acoustic song that was supposedly leaked from their site? I cannot find the link to it, however. Does anybody know what I’m talking about? It kind of sounded like Zacky singing… even if it wasn’t I still liked the song. I’m probably way off here though.
No that was some other band. I know what your talking about.
avengedsevenfold . com /tholomew
I don’t. What does he mean?
Play the first station on that site, press the left-most button on the bottom
it’s not official radio though, u know?
Yeah that’s what I was trying to clarify to Matt. The official is
avengedsevenfold . com /radio
But it don’t exist anymore
ok, didn’t get it at the beginning, sry :)
Upon looking through the source code of that site, that song is from here: https :// soundcloud . com/andygibson/sets/1999-2
His name is Andy Gibson
So Hail to the King comes out on the 21st of August in Argentina. Right now in Argentina it is August 20th 7:35pm. So in five hours, assuming they get it right at midnight, will they have access to St James? I wanna hear it.
I was just about to go to sleep…
Lmao sorry.
It’ll be worth it
Remember that crazy duel guitar solo that had syn sweeping like a mad man that got released. I bet that’s st. James, it sounded like crazy iron maiden riffage. I hope it’s st. James, I wanna hear the whole thing.
The All Hail Andronikos one? I’m trying to remember
Do you mean this one /watch?v=GbwHAxd3BNk&list=PLpSW6gVRk77EPmRAMdsj2KFjIa6Z4Ym6s&index=5
That’s Planets
I can’t think of any others that remotely sounded like a guitar solo
It was rhapsody of fire, go figure it was on an album that I don’t have
Is this St. James

Is this St. James
http: //youtu(dot) be/RrcughcKs2w
Ok now I remember that. People say it’s not them and that it is Rhapsody of Fire. Plus that video came out a whole two months before Avenged started getting everyone pumped up for the new album. I don’t think it’s them.
I have every rhapsody of fire album and I don’t recognize that. It sounds like avenged sevenfold style
Yeah it does sound like them. We’ll just have to see one St James comes out, hopefully tonight
it is Rhapsody of Fire, song Lost in cold dreams, 3:35 http ://www.youtube. com/ watch?v=iBtcRE3bGLo
Interesting. Wikipedia says Synyster Gates is the lead vocals on St James. Didn’t know that until now.
That will be exciting to hear
Unless it was a troll who did that. I swear I’ve read every interview and haven’t heard any information about St James.
it’s true, Syn takes lead vocals, Shadows takes lead guitar
I saw a tweet with a picture of wikipedia saying Matt was lead guitar, and syn was lead vocals for that song. When I went and looked it up on wikipedia, it didn’t say that at all. I think someone is trolling.
And how would you know this?
Wikipedia trolls
Because I saw Jericho talking about it in his tweets. He’s close personal friends with the band…the same day he accidentally tweeted the release date.
But, I guess the only way for us to know for SURE is to wait until the track is released.
That clip I showed ya I was wrong, it’s rhapsody of fire lost in cold dreams
Album verdict 8.2?!! Who the fuck came up with that bullshit
I rated it a 10
Ohhh it goes by what people vote? now it makes sense
I personally have it as an 8.5, so the rating is no bother to me.
My vote of 10 just bumped it up to 8.5……you’re welcome
Only 4 more hours until the possibility of listening to St James
Can you explain how and possibly where?
What do you mean?
In Argentina the album is released on the 21st. That’s in 8 minutes from now, and there’s a possibility that St James is released with it
Goddamn i would kill for a link!
oh dear lord.
Has to be a troll. I know Shadows can play guitar, but as the lead? I doubt it.
i don’t :D do you remember #allhailadronikos video? somewhere around 0:29 Syn is definitely singing. Not talking, singing. Have you heard any backing vocals on the album so far? Correct me if i’m wrong :)
Yes I have actually. Listen carefully to Crimson Day. There’s definitely backing vocals, but I think they’re Shadows
Yea, Shads has backing vocals in 2 different tonations in almost every song. But Syn doesn’t :)
To be honest it was a bit of a disappointment for me.. It had 2good songs 2 decent and the rest was just way out of normal from A7X.. :s and everybody always thought that now is gonna be the time they take us back to Waking the Fallen and City of Evil. It is still worth a listen and give it your own opinion. i would rate the album for something around 5-6 out of 10
Planets colliiiiide!
Anyone find St James?
not yet, searching a while…
WHERE ARE YOU ST. JAMES?
Anyone find St. James?
Ah… I didn’t realize I was listening to Metallica..
This does not sound like Metallica
OH really. Why don’t you listen to This means war, then listen to Sad But True by Metallica, then tell me how you feel. I haven’t listened to it all the way through but there are several songs that have VERY similar composition to that old school “metal”/ rock n roll..
That’s what they were going. An old school classic metal sound.
There is, however, a difference between going for a classic metal sound and basically lifting one of the more memorable metal verses in existence. It wouldn’t have taken much for them to distance This Means War from Sad But True. I find the album incredibly solid, but that really was a misstep.
don’t you like that ? are you insane ?
I wish… metallica isnt this slow. Every song is the same slow riff with the simplest drum beats designed for guitar hero it seems. A total let down =(
So every song sounds the same? Ok…..
The same slow riff? Did you listen to the songs? Lol
Anyone else realise that Coming Home’s guitar solo sounds like Save Me’s solo?
We need St. James!
Man this is Metalicas best album yet!! Wait… Crimson day is Nothin else matters. This means war is sad but true. The only song that sounds like A7X is doing time and that song is week. Come on now. You already got in trouble for stealing Overkills logo, then in trouble for the album work for this album looking too much like Lich Kings. There should be a cat symbol instead of A7X for copy Cats!
stfu, crimson day ? nothing else matters ? you is a true metalhead…
is it brad from ffdp ?
So your really going to sit here and say those songs don’t sound exactly the same?
You only compared 2 of 11 songs to Metallica (and honestly if you’re a fan of either you’d know they aren’t all that similar) yet you say it sounds like a Metallica album?
Also, Overkill didn’t create the winged skull; google new england tombstones and you’ll see plenty.
I find it funny how you commented trying to come off as a smart ass and end up looking ignorant as hell.
Since others have done this, I suppose I will. I give the album a 9/10. I think it’s by far their best work. I actually after listening about 6 times think Hail to the King was the weakest song. And I think it’s a great song, so that’s saying something.
Shepherd of fire- when it comes to intro songs I think this really continued the trend that avenged had for having great Intros. Do I like it more than previous album Intros? I would have to see it live to tell. A great song. Syns solo is awesome, I love it here.
Hail to the king- a solid song through and through. Gives a good example of how the album was going to sound when it was the single we only had.
Doing time- reminds me of demons off diamonds in the rough. I’m not entirely wild about his vocals through the chorus but I love the rest of the song and love the energy. It’s growing on me.
This means war- yes, it has a fair amount of similarity to sad but true it had beginning and rift parts, but this song is one of the better ones. Great solo, and Matt’s voice shows it’s power.
Requiem- this song has power all through it. I love how syns solo comes in. The choir is awesome. Again, well written and done well by every member.
Crimson day- a solid song. It reminds me a little of So far away. Not much to say, but it doesn’t really need a lot said about it.
Heretic- I don’t think this song gets as much love. I personally love Matt’s voice and like how it does have an older sevenfold sound ( CoE). Listen to this a couple times, it’s great.
Coming home- this is a song that many people have picked to be their favorite and for good reason; this is a really upbeat song that to me is a polar opposite of crossroads lyrics with that it has what seems to be a religious twist in the second verse. This is just an enthusiastic song with great emotion.
Planets- one of my favorites. It’s just a terrifying evil awesome sounding song. It reminds me of an epic battle ( which is what they were going for ) the orchestra parts are welcomed as always.
Acid rain – pure emotion. Almost made me cry when I first heard it, I thinks lyrically it’s one of Matt’s best songs. A truly epic ending to this album.
I love how they completely nailed that old school metal sound they were going for with this album
Wow. What asshole downvoted this?
Some dude is just going and down voting everything, he clearly has a strong social life.
Or maybe someone just doesn’t like the album?
If you don’t like it, there’s no need to come here and down vote everything just because you don’t like the album. That’s like walking in to a church to tell everyone how dumb god and religion is. It’s just retarded and unneeded.
I don’t care if he doesn’t like the album, he’s going around and down voting every post lmao
Why do you care about something so stupid? People actually care about what button someone clicks in regards to a conversation they aren’t even taking part in?

Any questions? :D
Yeah, I have a question. How could you ever forget Waking The Fallen in your rankings?
Fuck man!!! Kill me please, now… I’m burning from embarrasment…
i fixed it… but now i’m going to the mountains to die alone
Die alone after listening to the recently leaked St. James! hahaha
I to 95% agree with you and your ratings. But I´m posting a comment about mine soon enough, but let´s just agree that Acid Rain is a masterpiece (And so this album) A7X is back and delivered once again!

I honestly wasn’t expecting a song from this album to be my favorite Avenged song of all time. Acid Rain is just an absolutely incredible song and major props goes to Matt for his voice range on this song.
