Avenged Sevenfold To Take Their Time On New Album

Band Photo: Avenged Sevenfold (?)
Avenged Sevenfold frontman M. Shadows says the band plans to take its time writing the follow-up to 2005's City of Evil. While the boys have been working on new material for a few weeks now, Shadows doesn't see the band hitting the studio until at least May. And when Avenged do, the singer said they'll track the disc without the benefit of a seasoned producer. "We're 90 percent sure we're going to produce it ourselves," said Shadows, who recently helped produce the Confession's new LP. "We want to do it ourselves because we know what we want." He said fans can expect the album's tracks to be bigger and longer, and added that he hopes to have the disc out by the fall.

They might know what they want, but to the remainder of the posts to be posted, the consenus will probably be that we all hope that A7X forget their new album and forget how good of a band they think they are. They suck. I hope they f*** up their album horribly. Please don't go in the studio at May...How about December 2184?

here we go...START hating on some music that you havent heard-start hating on a band thats out there spillin blood and guts because they love music-DIRECT ME TO YOUR SITE that shows your true metal -do you seek out A7X just to bash them?-I see archenemy84 at every A7X post, then he'll go on about HIS favorite bands and how ther so much better, like its his little soapbox forum.who gives a f*** A7X isnt my favorite but Im in a band, and I give credit where credit is due!
UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FRETBOARDFIEND, i believe in giving credit when it is due as well and im not doubting these guys talent as musicians but i doubt there songwriting ability, not to mention they dress like fags, as well as the fact that they are not metal and shouldnt be on this site


11. writes:
i went to their website for the hell of it and they have gay lameass artwork. and the music sucked. i agree with post 9. ill give them credit as talented musicians in their area and style. and yea, they dress like fags. im not gonna say sh*t like i hope they die or anything, i they ACTUALLY have fans and all that....

Avenged Sevenfold is the cancer of music. I cannot believe how people listen to this sh**. I cannot believe how people can call this pop band metal. They must be retarded. Metal is Massacre, Bathory, My Dying Bride, Mortician, Zyklon, Candlemass, etc. A7x does not qualify as metal. It is mainstream pop garbage for brainless sh** flinging monkeys.


16. writes:
I never post here cause i dont believe in argueing over music. All i know is that if anyone is comming to this site, they are a fan of METAL! Whether it be black metal, glam metal, grindcore, death or nu-metal....We all know good music when we hear it. Remember music is not a sport, it is an ART!

17. writes:
YES, I'll be happy to give credit where credit is due. Unfortunately, that does not apply to A7X. I'm sorry if that upsets FRETBOARDFIEND. Ohh too bad b****. I don't have to hear what their music will sound like because it all sounds like sh**. How about some metal: Arch Enemy, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Opeth, Rammstein, Megaherz, Heaven Shall Burn, Mudvayne, Children of Bodom, Vital Remains, Lamb of God - the list goes on and on. That is metal - not the garbage A7X slings out and calls an album.

19. writes:
they changed their sound completely in order to sell thousands of records. they said "f*** our current core group of fanst that have been with us since day one. if they dont like it too bad". that is nice. i have never liked these guys, but their older stuff is raw and aggressive and couple that w/ the fact that they are talented and you had a decent band. however, they changed their entire sound and persona just to sell records. they cancel tours in order to make more records to sell. Avenged Sevenfold stands for everything that metal is not.......they are a glam rock band that changed their sound not for the sake of progression, but for the almighty $$$ because that is what music and art is all about right???? okay, my point....i hate these f***in guys and everything that they stand for.

20. writes:
mr.soapbox did exactly what I thought he would, do just what he does at all A7X posts loui has it right in post #16 thats cool if you believe in the devil archenemy84 and you want to listen to music with screamo vocals-some people dont-get that through your thick scull! music is ART -try making some sometime and you might understand that you cant please everyone all the time-Once you actually start writing songs and leave and hang w/ guys(and chicks} on tour you realize how hard that sh** is and how hard everybody works to do there own sh**-and knowbody puts down other people for doing what they do !maybe if your lucky you'll get a chance to see what I mean and when you come back and sit at our keyboard you'll......... what the hell you wont learn sh**

22. writes:
People who Bash A7x are just upset because they will never be as talented as a7x. Their music sounds great. f*** all of you haters. Sure they have changed alot. but the real fans are the ones that can accept the change and love it.
ps. anyone know when they are recording their next album?

23. writes:
P.S in North Hollywood. P.S allot dudes in metal look "Gay" and they have for a long time. I dont fancy their music becasue they sound too much like Guns n Roses on a good amount of their tracks. Id rather listen too the real thing. And Dime wouldnt give a sh** if they played walk all the time, because Vinnie Paul is a fan of theirs. Dont talk for people u dumb sh**, half u NERDS only started listening to Pantera after Dime passed and claim to know sh**.

24. writes:
WTF? WTF...what the f***ing hell is wrong with whoever the f*** wrote in post 22? Are you implying that the people - including myself - who bash A7X are really just envious of their talent? WOW, did you ever f*** up at reading in between the lines. I don't think that we give a f*** if we will be as talented as A7X. No, we're thankful enough not to look like a bunch of drama queens dressed in makeup. Please, everything aside, there is much better metal out there and A7X is certainly not one of them.

25. writes:
Okay, and to post 24, I don't think you're correct at all to say that people started to listen to Pantera after Dime's death. That's just f***ing immature and even hypocritical of you, dumbass. So you can shut the f*** up. Pantera were a great band with their heavy and aggressive style throughout the 1990s, and I don't think that despite the awful tragedy of Dime's death, there would a sudden influx of people like you to say, "oh, let's listen to some Pantera." I mean, come on. Sure, I listen to it more often, but I listened to their music before he was fatally shot. So don't come on here and start preaching your sh** when you don't even know sh**.

Post 16, Louie -- Amen!! Nonetheless, I'm sure we'll see a few examples of people taking it the wrong way..
Hey anonymous -- I like the name. I'm also very, very, very upset that I will never be as talented as Avenged Sevenfold.
If I don't get frustrated when I listen to the likes of Slayer, Necrophagist, Nile, and Pantera, how exactly would I get frustrated listenining to Avenged Sevenfold? Don't tell me Avenged Sevenfold compare to any of those bands. Those bands have all established themselves within the metal community. You got the reason wrong, buddy.
I like to give bands a chance. I also like to know what they're about [if I dig their music]. From various interviews [online, and in Metal Hammer], I get more sh** about drug use and groupie gangbangs. While it's all fun and games and rock n' roll....what are they doing for music? What are they changing? What's the big deal?
If the music is just THAT good, then it'll be easy for me to pass over the other activities of a band. But when they throw some sh** that's been done before [80's metal...] at you...I just don't want to listen..It's nothing new. Sure it's awesome to recognize your roots...but to copy them?
Attack away motherf***ers.

OMFG!! it must be a cold day in hell maybe i passed through to an alternative dimension an aeon of time must have passed while i slept last night i am actually going to agree with coco on something the time and date are noted maybe its like when jfk was shot and neil armstrong quoted that pre-written line make a note of this anyone who knows me but here goes "this band of c*** suckin transvestite whores must be destroyed" i might add that they are the offal of the music business and they are as straight as the earth's orbit round the sun these f***'s suck a$$ and i believe a fan of A7X told me one day the "reverend" was the best drummer on the planet well maybe i did pass through to another dimension because in mine he's as skilled as Stephen Hawkins on the drums so endeth the sermon lol.Any f***er with a stage name as queer as the reverend deserves to be put down.Nothing like stirring the ant's nest hit me back A7X fans or are you to insecure to accept someone elses view of your "band" and see it as a personal attack.i hope they do take a long time on this album hopefully we'll all be f***ing dead when they finish it lol

I like Avenged 7fold. I also like slayer and Lamb of God and Shadows Fall and many other bands. I think it's funny that you cyber-dorks get on here to feel big by talking trash about them. If you don't like them then why spend the time reading about them on here, and much less writing about them. Different people like different music. Hey, cyber-nerds, maybe now you can go to the lord of the rings website and tell how you think the wizards should handle the ring. Losers. Go ahead and talk sh** to me now all you want. I won't be returning to this forum.

Your right we will, your a f***ing weak piece of sh** FiSH...
Anyway when they came to NZ the local metal radio had an interview with the guitarist and he was the biggest jerk ever. When asked about local shows he said he never really got out and supported the local metal acts! There was other sh** that made me think they were a$$holes but I can't remember.

35. writes:
Some of these metal punks seem to resent it whenever some of their music actually has some music to it. Those guys probably should listen to more Rap. A-7X is a credible band and a he11 of a lot more enjoyable than your juvenile little rants. Don't like them? Fine. Go away and be miserable in your sad little definition of the metal world. Better yet...GO KILL YOURSELVES and save the world the headache.

39. writes:
Not that I'm a basher here, but I eat, sleep and breathe metal. It's a huge part of my life. I see bands like A7X corroding one of the things I love. I must fight for what I feel is right no matter what, just like I fight other things in my life. It does make a difference, it makes a difference to me. And I do praise my favourite bands obviously.
Anyway dude, I don't really mind what A7X do or if people like them, I don't consider them metal.

Has this site changed its name to fa**otunderground.com lol bash em ? no i'd like to play PINATA with em though using a sledgehammer to bash em open to see if these fa**ots actually have any human organs lmfao these queers don't belong on metalunderground.com maybe its a dual server.The simple fact is they are not metal they are sh** production-lined thoughtless sugarcoated manufactered talentless pap whose only reason for existing is to make as much money for its sponsors and band members by systematically ripping off its fans 1 by 1 who are either to f***ing stupid or so brainwashed or inbred that they cannot see the reality for what it is this is a money making scheme they contribute nothing to music as an art form and i think they should start to release 3 albums a year from now on as the shelf life of a boy band isn't as long as it used to be its pre-teen fans grow up quicker these days lmfao

50. writes:
Well, okay, first off, two things...If you are going to cite Pantera's live album 101 Proof, do it respectably - not 101Proff, fa**ot. Second, please do the respect of ArchEnemy to spell their band name right too. You really are a b**** for misnomers and mispellings...
And now to being with your pathetic response - basically a bunch of jargon and juxtaposed phrases which you only understand as you're full of sh**...If you would only open your mascara-lace eyes to realize that you too are posting on this forum, so who is the hypocrite now? I'm not talking sh** to people about their taste in music; I simply listed the bands I most enjoy listening to, and are actually defined as metal. You know, NOT the posers and girls that comprise A7X.
Please, your spelling makes you look like a dumb PIECE (NOT PEACE) of sh**...actually, you probably know that there are two spellings of the word peace and piece. HAHA. So why don't you take your own advice and go hang around on myspace and post to whoever the f*** reads your lame a$$ profile about how we shouldn't bash A7X or whatever the f*** you post....Don't do rulin kmadd any injustice here, dumbass....at least he has the decency to agree that A7X are a bunch of immature posers...and by the way, that makes you an immature poser, too...

archenemy you are post # 24 -Im a guitar teacher and one of my students brought me a A7X song BEAST AND THE HARLOT to teach to him most of the chords werent to much trouble some heavy riffing- but the guitar solo's were definitly advanced arppegios,double stops,speed picking sweep picking etc...some of this has been done before but there was alot of original melody in these guitar solo's Im just glad to see some lead work out there thats worthy-alot of the above mentioned bands owe alot to the music you people so quickly put down- I remember punching a guy square in the mouth at school for saying KISS sucks -well maybe they do but they sure have alot of fans-and alot of your favorite bands would site ACE FREHELY as an influence-I have a feeling A7X will be around for quite awhile whether you like them or not!-those boys CAN play guitar

Thats like saying scratching your nails down a blackboard or a squealing cat is a symphony i don't give a f*** if they can actually play what they ACTUALLY play is the worst kind of cynical sell-out production-lined sugar-coated pap designed to make money they are a band for a job or career not because they want to make music to push boundaries and challenge perceptions of art they exist just to make $ they look like fags and wear more makeup than the Moscow state circus clown troupe.They don't belong on this site and anyhows a friend of mine was trained on classical spanish guitar he told me stuff like nile behemoth pestilence death cynic and any other technical death metal is by far the hardest to play that doesn't mean everyone should like it this thread does not belong on this site neither do these a$$ f***ing tranny whores.The fact that they might be able to play is totally irrelevant their music and image outlook and attitude totally f***ing suck that is THE point.

56. writes:
city of fear, 80-90% of a song your playing riffs, and A7X riffs are tired rehashes of ancient metal ideas, watered down gothenburg riffs and flogged emo cliches.
Guitarists today must reach a level and the level has definately been raised because of the 80s heros. Sweep picked arpeggios, economy picking, tapping (and its ALL been done before) is mandatory. In todays scheme they're just average guitarist soloists.
By the way, what do you mean when you say double stops?

what a f***ing dumb website, METALUNDERGROUND.COM. You have too be kidding me. The mere FACT that the morons running this site post news about supposed non metal bands baffles me. Plus their is no f***ing underground in metal, but then again i guess Avenge Sevenfold is. f*** THIS WEBSITE, I DONT BELEIVE i actually found this pile a sh**, and the only good thing is that u dont have to register to post.

I'm just surprised the a$$hole in post 58 decided to even post any f***ing remark if he is that frustrated. I hope I don't see your sorry a$$ posting such stupid remarks on this forum since you apparently have no f***ing reason to post on it...
OH, and by the way, it's not that we're kids and it's not we have a say as to what metal is and what metal isn't....Hmmm, maybe it's called a f***ing opinion, you insensitive little b****? Don't f***ing make massive generalizations about the people on this post....Most of us disagree here, but you come here and start going off on a f***ing tangent...This is a forum to agree or vehemently disagree on how much A7X sucks....Not for sh**heads like yourself CRO_MAGKINGS (whaterver the f*** that means by the way) to digress and make such irrevelant comments. Wow. What a f***ing loser, whoops, I mean POSER.

I hate death metal where can I go to bash that crap- I hate glam metal too, I hate speed metal hmmmm what else?screamo sure sucks what do ya call that crap!chick singers dont belong in metal
{my opinion-archenemy84-lol}
I like IRON MAIDEN go ahead say some sh** about them! what kinda metal do we call them? you guys just keep making up all your new metal names.If ya dont like it dont buy it -

Well you see Iron Maiden are pioneers of metal fretboardfiend and have been making records for 25 years A7X is not fit to be mentioned on the same thread as Iron Maiden they are dio-metrical opposites 1 sux the others are legends maybe you have the intelligence to work out which is which ? or maybe i give you way to much credit ?

70. writes:
Nice posts from 63 onwards. Love to see the showing of support to continually bash these fags.
Okay, quick response to fretboardfiend: I don't understand how you hate death metal: it comprises many of the great band metal today such as my favorite Arch Enemy, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Children of Bodom... and so on, so please elaborate if you wish.
Glam metal, yes, I hate glam metal too. I will agree with you there.
Why hate speed metal? It f***ing rules, especially DragonForce. Great songs and amazing solos.
Female singers DO belong in metal, especially Arch Enemy as it's a perfect fit for that band. She has amazing vocals and adds a metal edge to that band that is truly great. Nightwish and Evanescene are the other two metal bands with female singers..and Lacuna Coil...maybe? I can't remember, but it's sweet that are female singers in metal.
I won't say sh** about Iron Maiden dude. No f***ing way. Iron Maiden, like the great band Pantera, are pioneers of their own respective sorts. Thank god for the existence of those bands and many other metal bands.
To summarize, let's not forget the important aspects of this forum...
1.) METAL f***ING RULES! Anybody who f***ing disagrees, leave this website right now because you're f***ing idiots who probably don't give a sh** about talented musicians and awesome music.
2.) AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, A7X f***ING SUCK!!!
Any questions?

i love how fretboardfiend puts down an awesome band (arch enemy) and supports the glam queens of a7x, shall we compare?
1. arch enemy is metal, a7x is not
2. arch enemy has a badass guitarist in michael amott while a7x has a guy who tries to look like slash tho i doubt he can play anywhere as good
3. if i never saw a band pic of arch enemy after 2001 i never wouldve guessed that there singer is a chick (who can growl really awesome) while m. shadow can't sing or growl and sounds really emo
4. Danial Erlandson fantastic drummer, guy from a7x nothing special
5. Arch Enemy has kickass guitar solos/riffs, a7x has crappy pop riffs/melodic bridges/solos
6. Arch Enemy is metal, a7x is not (the most true of them all)

Thank you slayerdisciple for your thorough reasoning. Appreciate it.
Now, what the f*** is wrong with post 71? Hmm....How about everything? The one thing I love is that whoever this f***ing moron is that while he/she/it is poorly insulting our posts of bashing A7X, it could mean that whoever this fag is could also be nominated for the most sh**ty personality award for such deragatory language. My god! I'm so f***ing insulted....
Yeah right b****. Please. Go crawl back to your little f***ing hole you call a cave and please live in darkness and sh** that is A7X. I hate the notion that you think you can make such generalizations - you truly are an idiot who has no f***ing clue who we are as individuals, and therefore, can no way make such erroneous comments. For we know and care, you could be the f***ing ugliest girl on this planet (or guy - because I don't give a sh**)! And if you think that Angela Gossow looks likes she's on smack, what the about the f***ing band picture of A7X on this forum? I mean, come on. A group of drag queens to prefer to paint their nails and wear rogue and mascara and fufill their duty to actually come up with a decent song because their music is awful. Start signing up? Does anybody else feel this b****'s post is so full of crap that it's just worth ignoring? Clearly, you have no musical insight and please, if you want to argue that A7X has even the smallest hint of musical talent, please do so in a fashion that doesn't start criticizing us like we're blind. Arch Enemy f***ing pwns A7X any f***ing day.
So, take your head out of your a$$ and see if you can't be any more of a b****...and by the way, you sound like a little whore, too. A7X is a bunch of whores. Wow, aren't you in good company, you f***ing poser.

Im not defending A7X but I'll Listen to there new album-and if I like it I'll buy it,if I dont I wont.-are they GAY maybe-you might be to

Haha city of fear, snapped. Anyway, as a songwriter and guitarist of about 6-7 years I can say
a) that A7X songwriting is poor. Just poor. I have probably only heard 3-4 of their songs and that's all I need. Case in point the first riff in the song "Unholy Confessions" is a watered down At The Gates rip off, I wrote stuff like that when I was 14 and thought it was cool. Then I grew up. I now write more technical death/thrash songs.
b) Why the hell should we care if they put all this effort into recording practising etc if the music is sh**? I'd rather praise a band like Necrophagist who do everything A7X do except, well 7X better.

Hmm...Excuse me...Fretboardfiend, you are a complete f***ing moron. Okay, Dragonforce and A7X are competely discernible. Whoever posted the reasons that someone is bashing A7X for the same reasons as DragonForce is f***ed up. Speed metal rules and so does DragonForce. A7X has no f***ing talent whatsoever compared to DragonForce. My god, what a f***ing insult.
Oh yeah, and I can't wait for A7X's new CD either. I've been eyeing that document and mail shredder from Staples (you know, the commerical?)...Well as soon as it comes out, I'm going to f***ing shred it and laugh at sh**ty and f***ing lame a$$ band. Please, that's my resolution. Keep bashing A7X and shred some of their awful CDs. Please, I'd rather shred K-Fed (I mean K-f***) and A7X's CD...Hey there's an idea...A DUET between the band of drag queens and THE QUEEN OF RAP....
THAT WOULD BE THE WORST INSULT EVER!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA.

A7X RULES!! M SHADOWS IS SOO FUKIN FYNE!!!!! haterssssss have no life that they sit and comment on a7x posts. if u hate them sooo much y sit here n write it. no one cares whether u hate them or not. Just cuz they changed their style since fallen or whatever doesn mean their POP.. For yall info.. TRUE METAL FANS WOULDN'T SIT THERE AND LABEL OTHER BANDS ABOUT BEING POP BEING THAT WHEN METAL FIRST STARTED IT SOUNDED POPPY SOO HAAA f***ERS!!!!

Uh, Black Sabbath was far from pop, TRUE METAL FANS as you say would know that. Something tells me the above person is a f***ing idiot. Probably the post.
"if u hate them sooo much y sit here n write it"
f***ing hell it's like groundhog day here, different day, different retard, same dumb arguments. This f***ing band is eroding metal, in fact they should never be used in the same sentence as metal.
If they're huge and successful, awesome for them. If they want to wear make up, great go nuts! But if they try to pass their music off as metal that crosses they can f*** right off.

Um..I'm so f***ing sorry, you stupid narrow-minded little b**** crazylilj. We have no life? Hm....I didn't know that just by sitting down to write insulting comments about how badly a bunch of sh**-faced drag queens automatically says that we have no life as individuals? Now aren't you f***ing retarded? True METAL FANS BASH A7X because they are not metal, dammit. I can't even understand the last part of your post in #112, so I won't even bother because it's a waste of my f***ing time....
KoRNBoY, you f***ing disgust me. I hate the way you write. You think you're so cool by writing in such an inane fashion. Wow, you must be 12 years old. Or younger for all intensive purposes. Please, you don't f***ing deserve to write on a forum that discusses METAL and not the writings of how you spell and type, you stupid little f***.

115. writes:
hey crazylilj, you have no life, wasting your time by posting pointless sh*t that no one cares about. we actually get a point across unlike you. you care about if we hate them or not, cuz otherwise you wouldnt be posting here. and the point of bashing A7X is cuz theyre not metal and metal was not originally poppish you probably dont even know what pop is.

why am I city of fear? because I agree partially with what is being said?WRONG I wont fall to all your level. of course you totaly agree-I think archenemy84 is liquidmetal77-or his sister-no I dont pay attention to staples commercials-sorry -and read my post #20 #74 SPIT OF THE ELDER GODS if you can wrap your tiny little mind around what Im saying.

Haha, yeah SURE! So you post something and then ten minutes later your brother comes on the same thread and post straight after with the same agenda.
And this happens twice. And one says he's a guitar teacher and the other ones called fretboardfiend.
AND most of all note the similarities in all your posts with the use of a "-" -around your sentences like this- Come on dude, fess up and maybe people will forget your lameness.

Uhh..please, save your crap fretboardb****...Don't come onto this forum preaching modesty and fairness and for everyone here not to digress...No one actually gives a sh**. The point is, you moron, that A7X sucks. And if you want to continue to talk about topics on a certain subject, then this moron with an alias zacky is a f***ing tool. What the hell is wrong with you? Nobody gives a sh** who you think is hot, you lonely little fag.
And nobody cares what your respsonses are fretboardfiend. Please, we all wait to see what you're going to write next, yes, that is our joy in life. Please. And while you're at it, at least spell relevant correct before you start stating such redundant phrases and irrelevant points that no one really cares to read.

What a f***ing loser, as soon as he gets found out that he's bullsh**ting everyone here with multiple accounts he's all "its my brother!!!11" quickly followed by "waaaahhh you found me out, your gay, I'm not coming back!". Holy sh**, what a fag. And for your information learning guitar and writing songs is the reason I go on the computer, if you've ever heard of powertab (although your a sh**head so probably not).

So true rulin.... fallendeath1234...yes, why don't you read some of the previous posts and stop telling us to digress when we really don't give a sh**....Okay, so this forum is on A7X...Hm... A bunch of p***y a$$ fags whose music is f***ing awful and I hope their new album f***ing sucks so that they actually go away.

I don't know, Cynic. I mean really. I've seen A7X live - they f***ing suck. Their support act - CKY- was better than A7X. Give me a break. I didn't know half their songs then and I certainly don't give a f*** about them now. Even their webiste design layout has GAY written all over it. Please. Save your breath.


144. writes:
ok. stupid on my part. but if u would listen to the words in a7x then u would think 2 but in the song burn it down, it is talking about how we need to stop living in the devils hands and live for god, so maybe u should listen 2 that. im not bashing on any of u guys but seriously, just listen 2 it before u start bashing it.



152. writes:
Are you a f***ing dumbass? Last time i checked, this website was called metalunderground, not emofags.com, so why the hell should we leave this entire site because of a couple of bands we don't like such as this one when their is more than a few bands on this site?

154. writes:
OK, a) changing names is lame fallendeath123/angelfromhell.
b) Avenged666, how can you possibly justify a band being metal... oh god I'm having trouble typing your reasoning is so retarded....losing breath.... last words coming.... THEY AREN"T f***ING METAL! If you like them, cool, good for you, I hope you enjoy their next album etc. But don't taint the name of metal.

155. writes:
Um...Their new album will just be as sh**ty as their most recent album because they f***ing suck. I hated the fact that they were on Ozzfest 2006 - they do not deserve that headline nor are they metal. The ppl with the A7X clothing are all of their fans - which was probably all of them. Please. They really are a bunch of drag queen emo fags parading around as Santa's elves dressed in black. I don't give a sh** about their lyrics because I don't need to hear them again. I saw them live once - and I thought they sucked.
Whoever the f*** wrote Post 151, who the f*** are you to say who and who not should leave this website on account of your pitiful sh**. And by the way, even if I did, I would find another website, look up another SAD A7X headline and start ripping the hell out of the emo fags some more. So either way, YOU f*** OFF b****!

ok b****! why say that bout me on this page, when u can f***in say it to my face?? u r the 1 who needs to get a life. i am tired of ur sh**, all u do is say u like rock bands, BULLsh**! u r a f***in poser. hinder my ass. i am the 1 that introduced u to f***ing a7x and u prob dont even like them. i am also the 1 who showed u this page, soi am the 1 that should be commenting a7x, not u!! get a life and by the way ppl we are step sisters so I AM NOT REALTED TO THIS UGLY b**** SHE IS ONLY MY STEP SISTER NO BLOOD RELATED AND SHE IS THE BIGGEST POSER U WILL EVER MEET!!! so critisize her all the hell u want!!! and by the way HINDER SUCKS a$$ b****!

People always say it's their sibling, no sh** only a couple of days ago some fag tried to say it was 'his brother' but there are always obvious similarities in his posts.
Within an hour you girls swapped and started posting? You both have random blasts of caps lock, both never start the post with a capital letter, and both use 3 lots of ! in a row. Coincidence? I don't know, its funny to read though! In my experience, emo/goth/metal/punk chicks all dress the same anyway.

162. writes:
haha i just read everything from my last post up until here and damn, f*cking hilarious!!....i still think posts156-160 is the same person. i agree with cynic and plus if theyre using the same comp to type up all that sh*t then why dont they just say that to each other instead of typing up all that???? its just the same person trying to cover up...although it is kinda funny what was posted.

163. writes:
slayerdisciple has a good point theyre not really metal but in my own oppinion i like them just they have way to many soft parts in some of there songs. Like Unhoy Confessions, some riffs are heavy non the less, but the slower parts make them look like a retarded emo, good charlette wanna bee Nu-Meral garage band :)! lol


165. writes:
honestly, who takes the f***ing time to see who does the right f***in comps. and just so you mother f***in losers know, we got into a fight, and both decided to quit raggin on each other and just stick to what the sites about. you f***in losers don't need to know everything that happens in my life, or honestly hers either. and i never said I was heavy, i like a lil of this, a lil of that, and no f***in way i would lie to impress you losers. you can ask my step if she does, but we're nothing alike. the only similarity is that we both like a lil of the same music. so ya'll can go f*** yourselves, i'm out.

ok, im sittin right beside my sis right now, and i dont care what u think, becaust in reality, imnot a devilworshiper! i am a christian and i got on this site to look at a7x's new album. so think w/e u want. i like a7x u dont. get over it. so just go bow to satin and i will have a great CHRISTmas! and i hope u start to love god! because if u turn to him them ur life will be better! so dont wanna start probs! lmao bec!!! so im just gonna go!!! but seriously get off this page and go spend some time with ur family or worship satin or whatever u want!!!!!

I would believe your two sisters apart from the fact that in post 144 you've already admitted to posting under different names.
"listen u stupid Mother F****** get a life and just go home and listen to your gay a$$ fag stupid dumb music." -- Haha, yeah you sound like most of the straight edge christians I know.

170. writes:
HAHA. All I need to do is read one post from one of the sibling b****es and I get their point. Okay, you happy? So shut up? We're not going to leave this site because of A7X's sh**ty music. They are not metal and they just plain f***ing suck. Even their website layout is awful. So keep on complaining...We will too. But right now, it's a hell of a lot more fun to rip the f*** out of your statement than it is to agree with it. Obviously, nobody would even want to say it truthfully to your face because it's pointless and irrelevant.
And like the dumb b**** fallendeath123 succintly puts it "bow down to SATIN," LETS CONTINUE TO BASH THE EMO FAGS AND ALL ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS IN THE SPIRIT OF HOW sh**TY THESE QUEENS TRULY ARE!!!

U f***ing dumb p.o.s. What the f*** is the OBSESSION with emo on this f***ing site, for a bunch of so called metal heads U f***ers know allot about EMO.AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH f***ING POSERS!!!!!!!!! CAUGHT ALL OF U!!!
p.s i do not like Avenge Sevenfold and i do not condone their music. i am mearly trying to understand why u losers call AX7(g&r ripoffs) EMO! U f***ING POSERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


175. writes:
Yes, death metal rules and so does black metal.
Whoever the f*** decided to write in post 171, Cynic is right. I'm not saying that A7X is emo, you moron. They just sound like a bunch of fags and should be classified as emo as they are not metal. Get lost dumbass.

176. writes:
did i ever f***in say to get off this site?? i think not. and a7x is a good f***in band, so is six feet under, hate eternal, and a few others whoever the f*** 6-Wretched-6-Soul-6 didn't put. i'm not a poser, but i never said i was heavy metal. i like a lil of this, a lil of that, my sis showed me this site and i thought it was cool, but if a bunch of dumbasses like you pratically live on it, i ain't gettin on it no more. so f*** off!!

178. writes:
yo i'd just like to say that i've been readin the comments on this post and i have decided that i am in a deadlock. Now i'll admit right now that i am no metal head, tho i do enjoy the music, and the only reason i found this website was that i was looking for the release date of A7X's new album. Funny how i found this ws when #1 A7X is DEF NOT metal. i totally agree with that. The other half of my argument and many may share this opinion, is that i have noticed that metal heads or whatever u might wanna call urselves are a very close-knit community and i feel that it is retarded of the moderaters of this ws to #1 show an outdated pic of the band, and #2 to even have them on this ws.
In conclusion, i would say those who have actually heard A7x's music are entitled to an opinion, but those who took one look at that pic and judged should just pls stop wasting ppl's time by posting biast slander.
cheers

Okay, this one f***ing sentence goes out to the b**** who calls itself angelfromhell: READ YOUR OWN POST - #151...That should explain your crisis, but sadly your ears or your eyes as A7X clearly f***ing sucks...
I've seen them live and they f***ing suck. I don't need to see another picture of them because they probably look even f***ing worse without their makeup on their faces...

184. writes:
archenemy, who seriously cares?
people have a right to listen to what they please, not something which you deem appropriate.
i personally have no interest in them, but seriously you gotta respect other people's opinion.
and the other people might take cue and respect you opinion too.
no wouldnt that be better for everyone?


186. writes:
Do you think I seriously care what other people say about A7X? That is not to say, however, that I do not look to see what people hate and somehow love about A7X, but it's a forum; okay, nobody here I think really cares because it's just another running tab of people who post their thoughts, and like myself, continue to bash A7X while a few continue to support their gay act. So whatever; I'm not here to dictate...I am simply here to bash A7X for the drag queens they are, and you have the personal preference not to read it, then please, by all means, don't. Now, isn't that fair? Or does anyone really care?

Dude, Amott was a hired gun for Carcass in 91's Descanting the Insalubrous and though he has writing credits for two albums (Most notably Heartwork, even though he left in 93) if anyone was going to reform Carcass it would be Bill Steer and the drummer whose name eludes me at the moment.

i have no idea what all of you "metalheads" are talkin about..A7X is metal...there are just not your kind of freaking bash the f*ck out of the instrument metal...They are more rock n roll with a taste of metal...and they are trying to be like their biggest influences GNR METALLICA and no matter how much u hate it ...PANTERA

the reason they fired their producer was so they could get back to their style of music. i.e: seventh trumpet and waking the fallen, as poser as it may be, city of evil was an album for them to gain fans and make a name. i dont expect to hear crap like that again from a band that rocks as hard as they can.

202. writes:
What's the difference what genre of music they fall under, the fact remains that they have a sound unlike any other metal/rock band out there. You would think you'd at least give credit to the amazing duo of Gates and Vengeance. Gates' lead guitar is amazing with Zacky close behind. The drummer (Rev), by anyone's standards is superb. If you put aside your single mindedness, about what genre they fall under, you can at least take the memebers one by one and give them their just do. For every one who doesn't like them, there are twice as many people who do like them, and they can laugh if off all the way to the bank!
203. writes:
Gates' lead guitar is amazing with Zack close behind yea f***in right trust me if i heard anythin good from these 2 i would be a fan despite the crappy emo image, Rev is barley even considered decent by my standards so nice try on that one, next to a drummer like Gene Hoglan or Pete Sandoval or any other drummer in the thrash/black/death metal scene makes Rev looks like the drummer from korn
