The backing vocals the rev does before Self titled are the following: - Backing screams on The Art Of Subconcious Illusion - Gang vocals on "Strength Of The World" - The "All Alone" in the bat country chorus Aside from that everything is Matt from STST-CoE with the rev receiving his first vocal parts in Self Titled.

[@jkitchen2003]

18:00 oh man, you’re gonna love city of evil

[@gravewalker9162]

One thing you shoul know about this band is that they are a real family, all the members were childhood friends from elementary-middle school (Except Johnny, he's a few years younger than the rest and joined in high school), they all grew up together playing music together, in their first album Matt's (lead vocalist) girlfriend did the backing female vocals and screaming, then became their manager and they got married, her sister is married to Syn (lead guitarist), and Syn's father sometimes plays the guitar in some of the songs. It wasn't until Rev's death in 2009 that they got a new member that wasn't basically family to them. I think this is the biggest reason why they're all so compatible and in sync together and can make these great songs in perfect harmony an coherence.

[@JMRxYM]

you HAVE to do the live in the lbc show so you can see how truly godlike matt was before he blew out his vocal chords. That also has the rev on drums as well

[@moncalimarimoncalimari8964]

This, city of evil, self titled, and nightmare make up one of the best four album runs in metal. All four are masterpieces, definitely check them out

[@noahtheiguana935]

I’d go as far as to include httk in this list, so underrated, and a little to shat on imo

[@evanterwilliger7010]

Love all those albums and wtf is my all time favorite album but ride the lightning - black album or kill em all - justice (depending on who u ask) are by far the best 4 album runs ever

[@moncalimarimoncalimari8964]

@evanterwilliger7010 yeah that's probably the best, opeth and sabbath had amazing ones too

[@juancontreras2711]

They did as their idols Pantera, making great albums in a row

[@UStrom3169]

chapter four has been my favorite song for the past 10 years. Trust me it never gets old.

[@TheSadistNat1on]

i been listening for 20 years ooof..

[@TortoisePlanet1212]

Chapter 4 is literally one of those songs that just. Gave the world a sneak peak to not only what they would do in the future but also just what they are capable of as musicians.

LMFAO when you made it to I Won't See You Tonight at the end I was literally laughing my ass off when you were talking about how good the end vocals were HAHAHA awesome review bro... Would definitely love to see you react to the rest of their albums after this if you think this one is this great. haha You have a great musical insight I must say haha

sitting in the denver airport for a 10 hour layover trying not to fall asleep…and this shi pops up. BANGER like always mayne

[@kankstank4395]

Not the DENVER Airport

[@xGabe11]

This is my personal favorite A7X album. Thank you for making it special. Chapter Four is a BANGER!!! Hahahah i love how you really exemplify all of the songs on this album. Repeat for sure. 🎉🎉🎉

[@nickwelch3649]

The switch ups in songs from them are why they are one of my favorite bands ever, along with my favorite band ever System of a Down. Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan was Avenged Sevenfolds drummer and he was a monster, sadly he passed away just before they released their Nightmare album. Also the guitarist Synyster Gates is one of the best shredders ever, they are so talented.

[@juancontreras2711]

Man and Matt's voice is something special for real

[@mattmcsherry761]

I'm SO glad someone else has as much appreciation for Clairvoyant Disease as I do. It's so good I think my top 3 from this album are And All Things Will End, Clairvoyant Disease, and Radiant Eclipse.

[@k86735]

3 bangers

[@MortonCammar]

Damn yeah it was one I didn't really take note of when first listening but over time I started to love Clairvoyant Disease. It's fun as fuck to play on guitar as well, so that helps. It's easy but just genuinely nice sounding. That little bridge thing after the solo sounds so good.

[@PoliAstroN]

Avenged is crazzzyyyy good. Next album, City of Evil, is one of my favorite albums of all time, period, from any band. If you liked Waking The Fallen, you’re gonna LOVE City of Evil The band members by the way, real names and (stage names) Singer: Matt Sanders (M. Shadows) Lead Guitar, Piano, Backing Vocals: Brian Haner (Synyster Gates) Rhythm Guitar, Backing Vocals: Zachary Baker (Zacky Vengeance) Bass: Jonathan Seward (Johnny Christ) Drums, Backing Vocals, Piano: Jimmy Sullivan (The Rev) [RIP] Jimmy, The Rev, was the original drummer of the band, from their creation in 1999, until his early death in 2009, at the age of just 29. Following his death, other drummers that have played in the band have been Mike Portnoy, Arin Ilejay, and the current drummer since 2015- Brooks Wackerman. The Rev was a musical genius and had a huge part in songwriting. Heavily regarded as one of the best drummers of his generation, possibly of all time. He inspired many drummers. (including me)

[@ev1lsm1th]

Avenged Sevenfold has a story arc a lot like Deftones. This would be like jumping into Deftones between Adrenaline and Around the Fur, the further forward you go in their discography the more their sound changes (Although the hardcore kids were fucking PISSED about it back in the day).

[@GC-gb2jv]

I was one of the ones that was pissed 😂 first album came out in high school and were my favorite until they signed to wb and i threw their cd out my car window 😭 it took me til like 2012ish to try giving the newer shit a try

What I love about Avenged Sevenfold is with each and every album they give you their best. This is the best that they can do right now. They take what they know and make it better. And when they put out their next album, they’re gonna do the same.they take what they know and make it better. It’s the best that they can do. It only gets better from here.

"Fun" fact - I Won't See You Tonight is based on the band members' good friend, who attempted suicide

[@Rouxgarou96]

I’m glad someone loves Chapter Four as much as I do, such a cool song.

[@HeavyMetalForLife]

Best album ever made! It only gets better every time you listen to it. Amazing reaction 🫡

[@revjoey]

A very underrated album, even though it is one of the best metalcore, most people only know the soft groove, but Waking is often missed by bastards, Thank you for the overall reaction to this album.

[@Spot-t]

This reaction touched me man, rewatched it already now. Hoping for a future album reaction from their catalog, personally any of them I'd recommend, although I'm mostly a fan of Self-titled and City of Evil. (also the Desecrate through reverence ending is my favorite on this album, it's very melodic: "Don't waste your time, and don't waste mine.." And also the bassline in the early parts of I Won't see you tonight part 1 especially.)

[@dylanvasicadrums]

Dude, The Rev, I love that dude so much, he’s the reason I play drums, he was amazing, RIP. If you think this album is dark lyrically, Nightmare is a whole lot darker than

[@kennyc9219]

If you’re excited by the singers voice now wait until you see him do it live. Surprised more people aren’t throwing out their Live in the LBC videos since they’re probably their most reacted to videos. You could do the whole concert since the whole thing is on KZbin in high quality or start with the first song Critical Acclaim. Live in the LBC is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Marc-xo2rx]

best band ever. the most talented guys. Every album is a masterpiece

[@totallyscp0492]

Let’s goooo, can’t wait to see the City of Evil reaction

[@TheSadistNat1on]

If you dont already, youll end up loving how eternal rest kicks in. the album jus flows perfect and that lead playing and the vocals end up being great. yap, eternal rest is really cool how it switches up. all the parts play off eachother, its genius. you actually have a great ear hearing that right away, being able to enjoy it..that means u know how to listen

[@Trentacle]

This album slaps.

[@TeeTeeRB]

I've probably heard this album 1000 times by now and I still say "God Damn" under my breath like at 36:57. Shit is so relatable. Waking the Fallen is damn near perfection.

[@tim.noonan]

59:05 Jimmy Sullivan, ‘The Reverend Thomolew Plague’, best known as The Rev. Dude was an absolute monster on the drums. He wrote a lot of Sevenfold’s songs and lyrics, and did a lot of the vocals in their later works (by that I mean their self-titled album) before his passing in 2009. Their music after he passed is great in its own way, but it’s definitely not the same band without him if you ask me.

[@snitchex5087]

this is my favourite band thanks for reacting, what's different about this band is that almost every album sounds different from each other, all of them are under metal genre but every album is different subgenre of metal, for next reaction on this band i suggest "city of evil"
