Check out ‘Nightmare’ inside plus M Shadows speaks out about the track!

Avenged Sevenfold have released a special YouTube clip for the track ‘Nightmare’ and you can check that out below.

Speaking on the Pulse of Radio, M Shadows has said the following about the song: “‘Nightmare’ is one of those songs that was the beginning of the record and it was setting us up for this big story,”

“Jimmy loved the lyrics so much that when he passed away, I didn’t want to change them. And I figured, if this record’s gonna be about Jimmy, I’m not gonna change stuff he loved about it, ’cause there’s already so many songs that are about him, or with him in it, and just have to do with that whole dark side of everything we were going through.”

Mike Portnoy delivers! :O
For the love of dear DIO come over here with Mike!

Fuckin awesome, like a darker City of Evil.
Hope the rest of the album can match this!

And Portnoy is on form as usual!

It certainly aint the best A7X song but it isn’t bad and has a catchy chorus.
Strange to think of a 6.30 minute long single to.

I fucking love it!! If this is where the album is gonna be, I can’t wait :)

AshesArise

i know the Rev will be proud of this record

Nailmann

this is really good.. lookin forward to this album now..
is it just me or does m shadows sound a lot like hetfield in this song??

Im a fan of A7X, not the biggest but that drum part has the rev’s name written all over it. Mike Portnoy did a really good job on it. The lyrics were really clever aswell so hopefully this album should be pretty good

Alright elson mate, you’ve made your point!

Anyway, this song is absolutely awesome. Ive been listening to it non-stop for the past day. Cannot WAIT for the new album and the potential UK leg touring it.

Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Mindblowing, lyrics are brutal!

Elliot, exactly what I’m thinking. I really hope they come to the UK.

frannibal

some bits of this seem really oddly reminiscent of metallica, even the vocals at times sounds like hetfield. strange.

Love it. Hope they come back to the UK soon

@Frannibal, yes i agree very hetfield-esque, but i am not moaning, its a very promising start to what hopefully will be the album of their lives

@elson14
shut the f**k up. if you dont care for the song, then dont waste your time posting negative comments so we dont waste our time reading them.

I LOVE IT :) things are looking good so far for this album!! foREVer

Ian McWilliams

Its awesome.

That song bored me to tears, the drums were yawn inducing, and the vocals sleep inducing. The only thing that stood out were guitars, and even then, I was bored. Also people *cough* Dani *cough* others have opinions, and we have a right to post them. So quit whining like a bitch when someone doesn’t bow to your whim. However I bought Exodus’s new album today, best fucking thing I’ve ever let my ears listen to.

Good song, BUT…… does this not sound like all their other songs from the last 2 cd’s?

Don’t get me wrong, its good but surely its time to come up with something new?

elson14

i post what i want you dick, come on ok who does it sound like? a7x thats it, dont get me wrong this song is better than the whole last album but fuck me its nothing amazing,
the only good thing is there’s a better drummer on it.

Nightmare is Gr8t and is a class apart from their last album.

I’m not an expert, but I think you just made the best point. You obviously know a lot about what youre talking about. Thank you for being so upfront and so honest about the subject matter. I really feel like I have a better understanding now.
