Great news from Sales. Ahead of projections! But still 6 days to go and we aren't there yet. A7X fans: Surprise the World with a No 1!
To those not speaking English well, this means that the album is selling much better already than they expected in the first place! Keep it up! Be sure to pick up an actual copy of the CD at a record store, so we can get this album to #1 on the Billboard 200!
We've seen some photos of this before, but check out this cool video Avenged Sevenfold added to their YouTube, that shows you how the "Nightmare" banner took over the building!
Avenged Sevenfold On The Cover Of Tomorrow's Kerrang! Magazine
Avenged Sevenfold is on the cover of tomorrow's Kerrang! magazine. The magazine also includes a cover story with the band.
Avenged Sevenfold - Inside their brave new world!
With this week's release of Nightmare - their first album since death of Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan in December - Avenged Sevenfold are slowly getting back into band business. But are the four friends ready to be "under the microscope" so soon?
Avenged Sevenfold sent out this message in their mailing list:
In honor of all the fans around the world who have supported us during this difficult year, and throughout our career, we are excited to announce we are broadcasting a special live concert webcast this Saturday, July 31, at 7 PM EST from Syracuse, NY.
This week's webcast is timed to coincide with the release of our new album, Nightmare, available in stores and online HERE starting tonight at Midnight E.S.T.
Thank you to all the amazing fans from the bottom of our heart for all the love and support you have always shown us.
The Daily Iowan has reviewed "Nightmare" and gives it a 3.5 out of 5. The review starts of with: "Avenged Sevenfold is the modern day Guns 'N' Roses." That's a pretty big compliment, if you ask me. Read the full thing here or the final verdict below:
At this point in Avenged Sevenfold's career, the band shows it has musical talent and songwriting ability beyond many of the radio-rock bands of today, even though it still falls into some of the same formulaic traps of past albums.
Nightmare is a better album than the group's previous effort, and while it may not satisfy early fans' "appetite" for the heavier sounds on City of Evil, it is the band's best work since that album.
411 Mania wrote an extremely long, but good review for "Nightmare". If you want to read it in detail, head over to this page and enjoy! Below is their final verdict:
If you’re a fan of Avenged Sevenfold, Nightmare is a must-have for you, and immediately! If you didn’t like this band before, this one MAY change your mind, but you’ve gotta’ come into the listening experience with an open opinion about A7X. As a fan of this band, I loved this album and feel it is their best work to date. If Avenged Sevenfold can continue to heal and find a permanent drummer sometime down the line – Mike Portnoy is a great choice if that stars can align for that to happen – I see them becoming one of the elite hard rock/metal (what’s in a label anyways?) acts of this era. This album is incredibly moving and is better than any tribute to the late Rev I could have possibly imagined. I gave this album a very high rating because of how moved I was by its content, songwriting, and just the truly amazing performances of everyone in the band. I will hold this album dear to my heart for a long time and think many other fans will as well.
We did it! Avenged Sevenfold's new album "Nightmare" is the #1 album on iTunes!! Props to everyone who downloaded it! Now let's do the same and get this album to #1 on the Billboard 200! Get your copy of "Nightmare" today!!
Avenged Sevenfold's Book Of Nightmares is SOLD OUT. If you were thinking of buying it, you are too late! For those of you who ordered it, it's in the mail, so stay tuned for your order to arrive!
My Review: Revolver Magazine - Avenged Sevenfold Special Collector's Issue
I was one of the lucky people who got to have a copy of Revolver Magazine's Avenged Sevenfold Special Collector's Issue before its release. First of all, I would like to thank editor in chief Brandon Geist for sending out the magazine across the pond!
Like many of you, I was very excited to see the magazine and to read the articles. First off, I started flipping through the magazine and ended up laughing at some of the never-before-seen photos. A much younger Avenged Sevenfold, baby photos and family photos of Jimmy, outtakes of photo shoots and so on. I was blown away by the amazing new photos of the band and the band members. We have already seen a few, but they were nothing compared to these.
Of course, after that I started reading the magazine. It's divided in ten chapters, all telling different stories. It starts of with the the band telling you how they started. Avenged Sevenfold from day one. We all know the story, but this is the band speaking. It's not some random interview. It's them telling their story, to you. In chapter two, the band tells you about how they became bigger and better. They tell you about their struggles and what they did to get where they are today. Chapter three is the chapter that really made me shed some tears. The guys tell you about Jimmy's last days, the days after he passed, memories... It was hard to read, yet good to read. As silly as it may sound, being a fan, it made me feel closer to the band. It made me understand them more. Chapter four is Revolver Magazine talking to Jimmy's parents Barbara & Joe. They share with you a lot of old photos and memories of their son, things that will definately make you laugh and love him even more.
These four chapters alone make it worth your money to buy this magazine. These four chapters are like a little book, Avenged Sevenfold: From then till now. They are a collector's item, a must-have for every fan.
The other six chapters include an interview with The Rev, guitarists Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance answering your questions, Avenged Sevenfold breaking boundaries with their fourth album and more!
Last but certainly not least, through out the magazine you will find seven codes that you can scan with your mobile phone. Each of these codes leads you to exclusive Avenged Sevenfold content that is not available without the codes of the magazine.
So, to cut a long story short: from a fan to a fan, you want to get this magazine. Because if you don't, you're simply missing out on something great. This magazine does what a good movie should do, make you laugh and make you cry. I want to give major props to Revolver Magazine, because they put out a great gift for us Avenged Sevenfold fans.
Get your copy at a local news stand or get it at the Online Store of Revolver Magazine!
Metal News reviews Nightmare, and gives a 8.7 out of 10!
Read the full interview here or look at the conclusion below.
Should you buy it? YES! Without a doubt you should. This album is incredible and has a variety of different tastes to suit most music lovers let alone Avenged Sevenfold fans! Highlight of the album is definitely “Fiction” as it being the last song which Jimmy wrote and last song for him to be a part on in body. Low point is Danger Line I’m not too sure what the band wanted to achieve with it its not terrible just a bit misplaced! However the album is certainly worth buying so go and buy it!
