Rolling Stone Talks To Zacky Vengeance About Wrapping Up "Nightmare" Without Jimmy

Published on July 03, 2010 @ 1:03AM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

Rolling Stone did an interview with Avenged Sevenfold guitarist Zacky Vengeance about wrapping up "Nightmare" without their drummer and best friend Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan.

Avenged Sevenfold have survived a hellish six months since the death of their drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan in December 2009, but their upcoming disc Nightmare was actually 98 percent completed before the 28-year-old fell to an accidental drug overdose. "It's the darkest, the coldest, most numb album I've ever heard, because we went there during the hardest time, basically with tears in our eyes, and recorded the songs our friend had helped write," guitarist Zacky Vengeance tells Rolling Stone. "Having to listen to the demos he played on, we put up a shield. We turned the rest of the world off, marched in there, and went to work. Looking back, I don't even know how we did it."

Metal Hammer Reviews "Nightmare" (Album) In August Issue

Published on June 30, 2010 @ 6:32AM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

Metal Hammer reviews Avenged Sevenfold's upcoming album "Nightmare" in their August issue of the magazine. Read it below!

“Avenged Sevenfold’s courage cannot be emphasized enough. It’s not a stretch to say that the band’s decision to shoulder on through the adversity that befell them with the tragic passing of Jimmy ‘The Rev’ Sullivan and to grab the bull by the horns and record and release a new album verges on the heroic.


It comes as standard that the average A7X song takes more twists and turns than most bands manage in an entire album, but the first half of nightmare sees the band reigniting the complex blood ’n’ thunder feel of City of Evil. Welcome To The Family showcases A&X’s love for SoCal punk rock with a Metallica-sized stomp, Buried Alive is part ballad and part arena-ready metal anthem and the title track is a tour-de force of quality riffs and unshakeable vocal lines. The musicianship levels are once again skyscraper-high and you’ll find reminders that Synyster gates is this generation’s ultimate guitar hero throughout.


The second half of the album, including the near-11-minute closer, Save Me is, understandably, a somber affair. There’s no way around it, the last three tracks are grueling due to their intensity and melancholic feel, but the therapeutic effect this will have had on the band is something that will be celebrated in the future.


In this respect, one has to feel for M Shadows. Though his vocal are as powerful as ever, having to record in the wake of losing a lifelong friend must have been the most gut-wrenchingly difficult thing he’s had to do in his entire life. The lyrics throughout Nightmare are so soul-bearingly raw that at points it can make you genuinely uncomfortable.


‘This can’t be real, I’ve lost my power to feel’ he grieves on the soulful tone of Victim, while So Far Away sees Shadows wondering ‘How do I live without the ones I love?’ it’s when the emotion and lyrics collide like an uppercut to the throat that things really kick up a notch. The piano breakdown in Danger Line genuinely sounds like Shadows could burst into tears at any second as he sings, ‘I never meant to leave this world alone/ I thought that we’d grow old’. On the flipside of the coin, God Hates Us sees him record the angriest vocal take of his career in the aural equivalent of him offering to take the man upstairs outside for a kicking. Dream Theatre drummer Mike Portnoy’s genius throughout the whole album isn’t only to play at the highest standard; it’s to pay tribute to The Rev’s unorthodox and unique style.


That A7X have continued as a band is reason enough to applaud them. That they’ve managed to create a body of work that still kicks as much ass as they always have through these conditions, should see them rightfully recognised as one of the best bands of their generation, and Nightmare as the ultimate tribute to a fallen friend.”


A big thank you to Caddie for typing this up for us!
