y is it if a band stops screaming or changes the style people think they sold out or they rnt good anymore,if ur in a band u know everyone's style of music changes (usually softer), its hard to constantly scream and not hurt ur voice...give shadows a break guys
@BrittLay You and all the other faggots that say that need to go die in a hole. Correction, he stopped screaming because HE DID NOT WANT TO SCREAM ANYMORE!.
I think that this song is so much better live, I mean the screaming in the cd is cool but i prefer when shadows doesn't scream so much, I think is sound so much better without so much screaming. Sahdows' voiec is amazing and he sounds great in this song, I don't think is better with the screaming, A7X is so much better now than before.
great song, they actually did start to play this live again for the last couple shows of their most recent tour. Shadows screams a little bit, I have a video of this live from the AC show on my page
jaysus why can people just accept that they use religious reference in their songs! a lot of bands do! i mean chapter 4, the actual band name, lips of deceit, crossroads, beast and the harlot lyrics, to end the rapture,desecrate through reverence! so what if its religious names and lyrics, doesnt mean the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD are god freaks. watch all excess. its all explained
They went to catholic school when they were younger. The name Avenged Sevenfold is from the story Cain and Abel, as is the song Chapter Four, because that's what part of the bible Cain and Abel is from.
They're not religious, they just make a lot of references because they make for good songs.
He just does it to keep things fresh. He didnt to just scream in every song. Which is ok by me, because it just keeps it fresh and new. Doesnt overuse the screams.
just because this band has 'sevenfold' and a couple of their songs talk about the Revelation doesn't mean they are Christian. If they're swearing in other songs it can be obvious. how? I'm a Christian.
yes. i do swear when i'm mad. nobody is perfect. it is the most unlikely thing for a Christian band to be singing this kind of music, and it is very unlikely that they would dress like that.
They all were brought up as Catholics. They went to Catholic school when they were younger. I don't know who got kicked out, but at least The Rev did.
I'll stay patient here. A lot of metal bands (or previously metal bands) make religious references... Doesn't mean they believe it. They just think it makes for good song material. They've publicly stated they're not religious.
they never said they didnt have religious lyrics, they said they are not a religious band, meaning they dont preach christianity on anyone, all their religious lyrics are about sinning. Chapter four, Beast and the Harlot are both basically straight outta the bible
he did get surgery, that's true... but that is not the REASON he stopped screaming... and if you listen to the interview with Mudrock (their producer) on their DVD it is clearly stated that he wanted to evolve into a vocal-based band the whole time... it was their "plan."
This gives me some hope for the new album. Im mean what happend last album. NO SCREAMING! it was one of the reasons they WERE awsome.plus the way m. shadows sings was just not nothing compared to the album before that.
the thing is that they shoudn't play WTF's song live if he dont want to scream. I dont care about his choice, screaming was the shit , new stuff is also sometimes good but hell, invite a screamer or simply DONT RAP ON SECOND HEARTBEAT .their ruining their own music.
Okay listen and listen good matt chooses not to scream he didnt pop a blood thing he sings for 1 day for 2 hours take the next day off and then sings for 2 hours again the next day thats how it has always been because of the certain quality to his voice thats why he sounds like he does
its matt screaming at the start of the verse. yeh we all know he wantd to sop screaming after city of evil, but look at the hair of syn, its not long, and his hair was long in coe.
There is screaming, and it's done by Shadows. Based on his appearance, it's apparent that this is quite soon after "Waking the Fallen", which, in my opinion, is possibly their best album. City of Evil is too nasally for my taste, but it has some nice tracks. Anyway, Shadows is screaming, this is before he ripped his vocal cord.
im sick of all this crap bout shadows "ripping his vocal cords" or "gettin vocal surgery" go watch all excess and then you'll know that he just didnt want to scream anymore....untill this new album that im gettin the day it comes out......god im just so sick of all the crap from people though
the singing isnt the whole album dude. i know its your opinion, but every track on city of evil is instrumentally amazing and genius. and he didn't rip his vocal chord. watch all excess, Shadows made the decision not to scream on the next album 2 years before it was even made (city of evil)
well, in city of evil m shadow wanted it to be pretty much all singing and minimal screaming,and ever since then he's been saving his scream for the new album. that's why he never really screamed songs during live shows from previous albums inbetween city of evil and new album...if that made any sense at all
The crowd is so fuckin' into it. Awesome!

He would half scream/half sing on Waking the Fallen and sing on City of Evil
