The funny part of this song is that M Shadows has used a country style accent. M Shadows has vocals that can make you go absolutely bonkers! He switches from innocent, slow vocals to harsh, vengeance filled vocals almost effortlessly. The drum cover is totally insane!! The bass kicks in at 00:38, and the vocals start immediately from that point. Listen to the intro and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Well, he shreds like crazy, but he doesn’t ‘move’ you. You might be familiar with perhaps the most famous shredder of all time, Buckethead. The awesome fact about Synyster Gates is that he is not only one of the most best shredders of all time, but his solos have a rhythm that move you.
At 00:18, Syn makes a rocking entry (with what I can say) with the lead guitar. Review: The orchestral musics kicks off from the starting itself, and it’s kind off catchy. Ironically, The Rev also died at a young age and he is the one who has composed this song. The lines ‘I don’t belong here, I gotta move on dear Escape from this afterlife cause this time I’m right, to move on and on far away from me’ justify my version of the song. The dead lover tries to force the other to live with him/her, but the other doesn’t want to. I think it’s an eternal love story between two lovers, wherein one of them dies and goes to heaven (The Afterlife). But when I listen to this song, it’s meaning is completely different to me. So he tries to escape this ‘place of peace of light’, i.e The Afterlife (Heaven). What it tries to convey to us: This song is about a man who dies at an early age and goes to heaven, but realizes that he has much too do before he leaves earth. The original version has a duration of 5 minutes and 55 seconds, whereas the radio/ video edit has a duration of 4 minutes and 1 second. The video of this song has cut the starting violin part, the bridge (wherein The Rev has given his vocals), and the ending violin outro. The song was written by the late Jimmy Sullivan a.k.a The Rev. It was released to the public on January 29, 2008. History: This is the third track from the self titled album “Avenged Sevenfold”. This American band mixes orchestral music with some epic shredding (courtesy Synyster Gates) and vengeful lyrics mixed with vocals meant to blow your head off! Seriously, A7X is ONE of the BEST heavy metal bands in the world!!
If you are a fan of heavy metal, then you must know Avenged Sevenfold, or else you don’t know heavy metal.
