This song is biblical af. I love it. The story of the wh**e of babel. The ancient city of Babylon. This is what made me first fall in love with A7X. The songs were always so intricate and intelligent
Yes and nope. Babylon the great is not the old Babel, it's all the false religions together, also called The Harlot. The beast is where she sits on and it represents the political global organizations. According to Revelations in the Bible, The Harlot (Babylon the great, The religions) will come mounted on The Beast (The Politics), The Beast suddenly would attack her and eat her, meaning that the politic governments around the world will sooner or later attack the "false" religions around the world destroying them forever.
i really hope you get to review "i wont see you tonight" parts 1 and 2, full of soo much emoion, such a story behind it, theres highs and lows, its the biggest roller coaster of a song ever
It's about REVELATIONS 18. I was surprised how many of their songs are Bible related.... CHAPTER 4 (Genesis) is another. And their Band Name also comes from Genesis
I remember reading a few articles about how often they were asked if they were a religious band and their answer was essentially "No, but the Bible is kinda metal AF"
You should definitely make a reaction to "buried alive". Typical A7X up and down and M.Shadows at his best! After Afterlive my favorite and the absolute favorite song of my 14 year old son!
Definitely need to do Higher from them one of their most underrated songs imo you should also check out let there be rock from ACDC the guitar work on that song in MENTAL
Like many others have said, you should check out the live version at LBC, this video cuts out the intro/outro and the final chorus, which in my opinion is the best part of the song
A lot of A7X music videos cut out parts of the songs. Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country, Afterlife. All the music videos irritate me. Classics but cut out too much
Next has to be Bat Country. It's their signature song. Hail to the King, The Stage and MIA are great too. They are not emo but got labled as such due to this video and get a lot of hatred. Vampires and emo are different things. I think this album has themes relating to the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Por favor Adorei ver sua reação e interpretação da música Cosmic, e sei que será ainda melhor se assistir o videoclip oficial que saiu. As ilustrações mostram as respostas que faltavam para um melhor entendimento, sem contar as diversas novas emoções que irá sentr. Se puder fazer um vídeo reagindo ao videoclip de Cosmic ficarei imensamente grato. Obrigado!
Ya gots your Whore of Babel or the Sodom and Gomorrah and City of Babylon stufff, and also the 7 sins. I dug this album back in the day, it was out in 07 actually as I was in High School. It was like I heard a speedy emo metal answer of sorts to Megadeth, Danzig and stuff but in a Punk/00's kinda vibe I was 17 when this was out. I also want some fangs still like that. I like your creepy as shit staring too! Keep it 666!! -Max
I don’t think you’ve gotten around to listening to Mike Patton yet, definitely give it a try. Prob my fav vocalist, the shit he can do with his voice is amazing. If I were to suggest songs prob god hates a coward from tomahawk - mojo from peeping tom- ashes to ashes or midlife crisis from faith no more. Anything he’s done is gold tho lol
are you going to go back to live at the lbc? I've suggested previously that you react to the whole concert so hopefully you can make that happen! I would especially react to it so you can re-listen to this song since the music video cut a few parts out.
It's just biblical imagery made metal, nothing crazy. Even their name, Avenged Sevenfold is from Genesis regarding Cain killing Abel and God saying something to the effect of "Abel will have vengeance sevenfold." (Their song Chapter 4 from Waking The Fallen is exactly about Cain killing Abel and his journey for penance from God for his sin of murder).Their debut album name, Sounding The Seventh Trumpet, is a reference to Exodus and the End Times where trumpets will sound from the heavens and signify the end times. "And All Things Will End", the last song on WTF, is another reference to Exodus.
