Shattering preconceptions of punk and metal, Avenged Sevenfold blaze a bold new path with 'City of Evil'. Fusing punk with melody, metal intensity with an adventurous spirit, the drama and darkness moves effortlessly from the powerful vocal punch to thick cascading melodies, from loud and fast to epic. Influenced by everyone from Pantera, Metallica and Iron Maiden to Bad Religion, Misfits, Guns 'N Roses, prog-metal and experimental rock, Avenged Sevenfold seek their own musical vengeance with 'City of Evil'.

Even though Avenged Sevenfold's first two albums clearly got them lumped into the emo camp, the California quintet always hinted at the heavy metal influence of bands like Iron Maiden. With their major-label debut CITY OF EVIL, not only have they fleshed out these tendencies via the intricate riffing of dual guitarists Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates, but they've begun to dabble with more intricate, prog-like song structures. And with singer M. Shadows recovering from vocal chord surgery, he employs a considerably more melodic approach.
The first half of CITY cleaves to what longtime fans have come to expect: dive-bombing call-and-response riffing and furious double-bass-drum attacks, peppering cuts like the soaring "Burn It Down" and the equally ferocious "Blinded in Chains." Following the power-ballad tendencies of "Seize the Day," with its subtle piano accompaniment and Shadow's full-bodied crooning, things get really interesting. Song lengths start to hover around the seven-to-nine-minute mark, and intriguing nuances come into play, like the boys' choir and 14-piece string section that defines the epic grandeur of "The Wicked End," and the Latin jam complete with flamenco flourishes that close out "Sidewinder."

This album is helarious, i bought ti cheaply for laughs and in all honesty have listened to it quite qa bit, its just the lyrics are funny (in some songs like the ebast and the harlot) and the vocalist sounds helarious, the music itself is really quite cool, especially the guitaring, though i must say that seize the day is the 1 really outstanding song fomr the album, its really great, good album

I love Avanged Seven fold. Their music is the type you can really get into and sing along. This cd is a really good buy. M. Shadows (who sings) has a great voice and their music goes really with his style of singing. Seriously a great band and a great cd... ^_^
