AVENGED SEVENFOLD: New Single 'Hail To The King' Available For Streaming

"Hail To The King", the new single and title track of AVENGED SEVENFOLD's sixth studio album, "Hail To The King", can be streamed in the YouTube clip below.

The "Hail To The King" full-length CD will be made available on August 27. The title and the cover artwork (see below) were uncovered via an online scavenger hunt that led fans to different web sites that were hosting puzzle pieces.

The long-awaited follow-up to 2010's "Nightmare" was once again produced by Mike Elizondo and is the first to be wholly written without drummer and key songwriter James "The Rev" Sullivan, who died in December 2009. Sullivan has since been replaced by Arin Ilejay, a former member of CONFIDE.

Asked how "Hail To The King" is different from AVENGED SEVENFOLD's previous efforts, AVENGED SEVENFOLD singer M. Shadows told U.K.'s Kerrang! magazine: "For the last few records, people have asked what we were listening to — and it's always been the same records, it hasn't changed. It's always been PANTERA, METALLICA, MEGADETH and AC/DC. We feel that metal dropped off after the '90s in terms of production and songwriting. Metal music isn't at the forefront as much as it used to be."

He continued: "We wanted to write a record that was highly influenced by the early '90s records and mid-'80s records we grew up on. Then we went back even further and were influenced by [BLACK] SABBATH and LED ZEPPELIN. We studied those records, looked at what they were doing and how they were doing it. A lot of them came out of the blues, so we studied the blues and classical music. We just wanted to write a record that was different."

Regarding what it felt like to be writing a full-length album for the first time without Jimmy, Shadows said: "When we started the band, The Rev didn't write much. Up until 'City of Evil' [2005] and the [2007 self-titled] white album, he didn't write much except his drum parts. So we kind of got back to before that. I definitely didn't like it very much, though. [In the past], we'd get to a point where we had written six or seven songs and we'd feel completely drained. That was when he would always come in with three or four great songs, and that would pretty much fill the album. He brought a different influence; he was a full-on metalhead for life, and he could always write in whatever style you were looking for. So when we got to tracks six and seven for this album, we really missed him. I really wished Jimmy was there to finish the album up. But that wasn't the case, so we had to really take our time."

Shadows also spoke about how Arin has settled into the band saying: "He killed it on this record! He did everything we needed him to do. We didn't go in there and write all the drum fills for him, or get on Pro Tools to fix it all. He just killed it. He knew what he needed to do, put in lots of work in pre-production and mentally got to the place he needed to be."

He added: "The record will surprise people, because the drumming is completely different to anything we've done before. That's because of the way the songwriting is. We wrote songs that needed this type of drumming. I spoke to Arin and said, 'Look, people are going to come at you because of what this record sounds like. They're going to think you should be overplaying like Jimmy and Mike [Portnoy, ex-DREAM THEATER and drummer on 'Nightmare'] played.' But if The Rev was here with us, this is how he'd have played it. He wouldn't overplay it, he'd sit back in the groove and he'd try to make it as powerful as possible, rather than as technical as possible. I asked [Arin] if he was okay with that; I asked if he was okay with the hate he was going to get. He said he was, and that he wanted to do whatever was best for us and the songs."

AVENGED SEVENFOLD took several months off after it finished touring to promote "Nightmare" — which included a headlining run on the 2011 edition of the Uproar Festival.

Asked how important it was it for the band to take a break before beginning work on the new CD, Shadows said: "We had to recharge our batteries. We wanted to wait until some inspiration came to us. We didn't want to go in too soon and throw out some crap. We needed the time off because we'd been touring so long, and it was time for us to settle down and get our bearings back. We would have imploded if we had written a record straight out of the touring cycle. We don't want to throw out a turd; we don't want to suddenly put out a terrible record becase we rushed it."

He added: "We literally sat around for a few months. And then you get bored of that, so you go write a record because you're fucking sick of it. Sometimes, lying around on the couch gets you pumped up, because you have a moment where you realize that you can't just do that for the rest of your life. We all hit that point, so we were and wrote a record."

AVENGED SEVENFOLD will celebrate the album release by playing a free show at the Hollywood Palladium on August 26.

Как то очень вымученно, даже обидно :(

Слава богу они перестали играть свою тошниловку, которую играли до предыдущего альбома. Очень даже хороший хэви-коллектив получился из них. Молодцы.

Простенько как-то. Но всё равно качает. Чувствуется дух 80-х.

Juron

Классный трек, ждем альбом, вот они говна точно не выпустят

soilmate

"Город Зла" и одноименный были их вершиной. Без Преподобного совсем не то, хотя по синглу не судят,нужно ценить 08.27.13 релиз целиком

Eu_Gene

Недурно. Но надеюсь на большее разнообразие на албуме.

Bloodstained Cross

я удивляюсь все больше с каждым их альбомом! каждый по своему великолепен! достойная альтернатива старичкам)

=======================================
Пусть вымучено, зато слушать не обидно.

если и к этому альбому прилепят тэг металкор, будет очень смищно )))

Приятно удивило. Хорошо, что больше Heavy стало.

Как заново группу для себя открыл...

16 июл 2013

Mercenary Man

AnyMetalYouLike, +++. До "ночного кошмара" считал эту группу унылой до нельзя и уже не на что не надеялся, но как только они сменили вектор в сторону классического метала сразу стало ясно, что ребята идут правильным путём. Песня до сих пор "качает" до предела.

hansi_hrb

Песня простая дальше некуда, но может их ждет судьба Металлики, которая после смерти Бертона выпустила не один хороший альбом.

16 июл 2013

dual-berettas

вектор в сторону классического метала группа сменила ещё на городе зла..
и вообще ты как-то неправильно их слушал, потому что кошмар не так уж сильно отличается от их творчества 2004-2008, и "классического метала" в нём если и больше, то ненамного

16 июл 2013

Mercenary Man

dual-berettas, невнимательно скорее, чем неправильно :)

16 июл 2013

JPV

Сомневаюсь, что все песни на этом альбоме будут как эта. Авенгед и славился многообразием тем и рисунков, так что судить по одной весь альбом кощунственно. Ну а то, что группа давно уже в высшей лиге металла, может отрицать только полный идиот.

16 июл 2013

Mercenary Man

Давно слишком громко сказано. Года с 2007. До этого материал всяко был ниже по кач-ву, чем сейчас.

16 июл 2013

-AntAreS-

Ну, даже с 2007г - это уже очень даже неплохо. И по-моему, они - одна из тех групп, которые достойно защищают честь Heavy Metal. А альбом обещает быть отличным.

16 июл 2013

dual-berettas

Хотел написать что-нибуть критичное, но потом подумал, что в этом есть резон, ведь действительно 2007 их самый зрелый и законченный альбом. С другой стороны, в нём нет того огня, который есть в более ранних работах, и вот его-то Mercenary Man таки и не прочувствовал. А жаль, ведь это самое главное.

Какими то Iron Maiden стали, утрачивают свой стиль. Один не запоминающийся мотив на всю песню. Надеюсь на альбоме будут треки и получше.
Mercenary Man. Heavy Metal групп для примитивов вроде тебя и так полно, а вот групп со своим стилем все меньше и меньше. Лучшие их творения как раз до Nightmare.
