Avenged Sevenfold
City Of Evil

THE REVIEW

Hello everyone, today I find myself writing the second review of the album "City of Evil" by Avenged Sevenfold, since Divodark's review did not truly reflect this fantastic album.

As we already know, A7X (official abbreviation for Avenged Sevenfold) have released 3 albums (and not two as dear Divodark makes it seem). The first one titled "Sounding The Seventh Trumpet", where we find a "POWERFUL" band with songs full of Growl, except the beautiful Warmness on the Soul, which we remember was released as a single, the second "Waking The Fallen", and the latest "City of Evil".

Already the cover, in my opinion, is very beautiful, depicting the famous Deathbat (icon of the band) riding a horse with a metropolis in the background (I believe it is the City of Evil). Aside from the cover, let's remember that this album is signed by Warner. Now let's put the album in the player and analyze this third (and not second as Divodark says) masterpiece by the Californian band.

The first track we have is "Beast And The Harlot", which is also the second single from City of Evil. In the first 20 seconds, it seems like an INTRO, but it's a very full and beautiful song. Then, a muted string connects this to "Burn It Down", beautiful and lively. The third track is "Blinded In Chains", where the drummer's excellent skills are highlighted. At about 2min. 50sec, there's an impressive drum passage (I still don't understand how he manages to do it). After this, we find the fantastic "Bat Country" (my favorite), the first single from City of Evil. The fifth track is the beautiful and aggressive "Trashed And Scattered", followed by the beautiful "Seize the Day", the third and last single from City of Evil, a slow and melancholic song. Beyond the song, the video is also beautiful (really not to be missed). A breath of wind connects this track to "Sidewinder". The eighth track is "The Wicked End", which starts with a nice bass passage. We then have "Strength Of The World", a song that is slow and harmonious for the first minute, but at 1min. 20sec, it turns into a beautiful song with 9 minutes worth listening to. As the tenth track, we have the song dedicated to "Dimebag" Darrell, former Pantera member. The last track "M.I.A." has a war theme, and the lyrics are really beautiful.

Recapping 11 tracks all worth listening to, in short, A7X strikes again. What you will find inside City of Evil will leave you stunned, confused, and in love with this band that is destined to become the greatest band in the WORLD!!!

Comments are welcome A LOT!!!; - )

I take this opportunity to greet everyone who knows me, especially Monia who gave me the inspiration to describe this album!
