Avenged Sevenfold Hail To The King, ltd.ed.

2013, Highly anticipated after the sudden death of drummer Jimmy Sullivan, Avenged Sevenfold are back with their seventh record HAIL TO THE KING. This new album is great, this album is true, this album is epic and another fitting tribute to James ´The Rev` Sullivan. The band answers their loss with honest, heartfelt emotion without losing the trademarks like sinewy lead guitars and Metallica-esque riffs. ,,Shepherd Of Fire", ,,Doing Time" and ,,Crimson Day" deliver more of the almost metallic onslaught that all the fans adore. As hard as this record pummels you, it caresses the listeners. There are mid-tempo songs like ,,Heretic" that evoke blood, sweat and tears. Or ,,Requiem", one of the most epic songs on the record. HAIL TO THE KING is almost impossible to appreciate. Maybe: Better than NIGHTMARE.
