Avenged Sevenfold - Exist [Music Video]

Thanks to National Geographic for this awesome video “Earth (Making of a Planet)”. I was able to edit a hour long video into a 15 minute Avenged Sevenfold song called “Exist” from their new album “The Stage”. This song was based on The Big Bang, so I used it for the creation of Earth. Hope you enjoy it!!

[@RazeD]

I feel the song was more based on the viewpoint on the entire universe, not just the earth.

[@buffytheslayer1299]

15 minutes and 46 seconds of reasons why A7x is my favorite band

[@EdgyCraft]

seriously i would write a 10 page paper on why they are the best if i had to

[@Relics275]

Why is Avenged Sevenfold called A7x?

[@g3tr3kdkid4]

@@Relics275 it's from the bible. "Sevenfold" means "7 times"

[@nicolethorpe9368]

What I love about A7X is that they explore many new and interesting themes in their music rather then keeping to just one constant theme that is present in most music these days- sex, drugs and breakups. Each of their albums express a new theme, particularly from their self titled to present album. In Nightmare we truly feel the pain they went through after losing their best friend and drummer Jimmy Sullivan, and The Stage- holy shit it has to be one of their best. Not many musicians in modern days would strive to explore the theme of science within their music, but A7X did. How this band has evolved really blows my mind. Exist has to be one of their number one songs- it has to be. Avenged Sevenfold NEEDS to win that grammy. They have to. I believe in A7X xx

[@PowuhToSeven]

The media has an agenda and our job is to be aware

[@sovietelmo3000]

Jeez we get it, they’re a good band. No need to keep sucking the kool aid out of their dicks

[@gtyrone83]

That screaming note at 10:53 makes my eyes well up. This is Avenged's masterpiece. It deserves a Grammy.

The Timelapse of the Universe 0:00-1:31 The almost empty universe 1:31-2:20 The Big Bang 2:20-4:06 The constant yet instability formation of stars and exo planets 4:06-4:40 The formation of the Milky way. A place utterly insignificant and almost unregarded among the other millions 4:40-5:20 Earth formed and a part of us slips away forming the moon, which gravitates towards Earth. Forever then. 5:20-6:10 Our planet Earth revolving around it's axis, cooling down... 6:10-6:56 Water showering over Earth and the so thought Art begins 6:56-7:26 Evolution takes place from the first anaerobic heterotrophic bacteria to the hominids 7:26-11:45 Humans. The wannabe supreme beings reigns over. ( I sincerely do not know if this was a pretty neat idea) Till then, bask in with the final words of My Tyson. 11:45-15:40 ... "Until the rise of a new visionary culture, the cosmic perspective; a perspective in which we are one, fitting neither of the above nor below, but within."

[@Darthtoaster]

Amazing! I hope A7X makes a music video for this song at some point. I can end up being a masterpiece.

[@rubemevangelista3868]

I personally think it's more likely to be a lyric video. But since it hasn't come out yet, I don't know...

[@ElaborateTiger]

This song doesn't have enough lyrics to warrant a lyric video, it's mostly instrumental.

[@rubemevangelista3868]

It has. But 80% of it is just instrumental. Even so, I don't think it's impossible to make a lyric video out of this. Especially with the song's concept. However, I think we would have already seen it if they were planning to make it.

[@MarioGarcia-tr4ev]

[@kwstassamaras7879]

Brilliant work. These images especially in the last 5 minutes are exactly what i had in my head while listening to the song. Like how the world has evolved around us and the meaning of our existence which is the exact meaning of the song. I was hoping someone would make something like this. Well done man

[@shane2432]

Kwstas Samaras I thought of floating in space and stuff like that

[@TheOnceAndFutureKing]

Kwstas Samaras: " Like how the world has evolved around us and the meaning of our existence which is the exact meaning of the song." I'm sorry, but are you implying that the universe revolves around us? If so, then I'd have to disagree. I mean, Neal DeGrasse Tyson's speech is basically about believing that this belief is extremely arrogant and that there's so much more o ut there.

[@kwstassamaras7879]

I said E-volved not RE-volved. I know my english is not the best but dont get hung up on a phrase or a technicality. I think most people understand what i mean. I also believe there's so much more out there.

Lyrics I. The Creation [instrumental] II. Earth Our truth is painted across the sky In our reflection we learn to fly No hand to hold us No one to save us from tomorrow Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the dreams of everyone No light to follow A shot in the dark Does anybody know? Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the dreams of everyone High from the heavens I can't see the pain Does anybody care? Think for a moment of all the lives Stripped of their essence before their time We stand to conquer But is there nothing left tomorrow? I'm sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the dreams of everyone There's no light to follow A shot in the dark Does anybody know? Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the dreams of everyone High from the heavens I can't see the pain Does anybody care?

[@liamw6976]

My man this is a phenomenal edit/music video. Thank you so much for this

[@murphy5895]

This is one of those videos that humble me in an existential way. Many of us claim that humanity is a mistake and irredeemable, and that we cause too much chaos in this world to do any good. However, this video proves something different. Chaos, randomness, and wild events are what created and shaped this world. Earth was built, destroyed, and rebuilt naturally until it became a habitable and healthy planet. It is only natural that we as a product of this world would do the same. We will continue to make mistakes and rebuild, rinse and repeat, until we finally get it right. Once that happens, we will be ready to venture out beyond our rock. Not as one single race, nation, or culture, but as an entire species of individuals. Of course, that won't be the end of it. We will continue to make mistakes, figure things out eventually, and then go on until again we get it right. It's a perpetual cycle of creation, and whether it is divine will or simply the nature of all things, we cannot deny that it exists.

[@dautolover]

Haha, I've seen this documentary a bunch of times. It's probably my favorite video to learn about the Earth. And you've just coupled it with an amazing song from one of my favorite bands.

[@guitardad801]

That was the goal . Thanks for the comment

Simply the best band of the last decade. Hope they open for GNR in UK and in Europe.

Thanks man, Being that you saw A7X "7" times. The question is, are your going to break the 7x into 8 ? :)

wow. this is pretty much what went through my head when I listen to this song. I love it when Matt starts singing "sailing away beyond the reach of anyone" the camera timing on all of the vocals made me feel like I was flying with Matt's voice. again amazing job.

[@egsiio]

Avenged Sevenfold always had different genres on their each album, many people hate it but that's why I love it! This is one of my fav A7X song! Great job with video

[@asb102296]

I'm not going to lie I was very skeptical when I saw a video put out by someone other than the band, but this video was incredible and definitely does the song justice. Very fitting images that are just as thought provoking as the song itself. Awesome video!

This is how education should be taught.. Dramatic. Exciting! Thrilling. Also its a proven study that people who learn while listening to metal perform exceptionally better than country or rap. Something to do with Metal and Classical music having the key chord structures. Key chords tones and vibrations are keys to unlocking higher consciousness .. Theory.. We don't learn.. We already know everything and we remember.. All information within our reality is stored in our genetics.
