Why Avenged Sevenfold's M. Shadows Quit Screaming 

Listen to his voice here. He literally needed to rest, now he sounds amazing.

He is such a talented musician and a great dude

I love how he’s humbled asf, theyre a band im so glad i loved in middle school and still love as an adult, great fuckn guys 🖤

Shame because of how great of a screamer he was. Makes people respect the art a lot more

this dude doesn`t look like 40 years old

I really think the screaming parts on waking the fallen seem well thought out and not random. They contribute to the songs and theres a perfect balance between cleans and screams. In surprised that he claims they were only there because they couldnt think of anything better. To me they really fit the context perfectly. On city of evil however I dont think screaming would fit very well but thats because the riffs and progressions of the songs were made to be more melodic. I really love all their albums though, they are all masterpieces in their own way.

Respect to my favorite singer of all time. I appreciate your work, thanks for every moment you gave us.

I want to see M. Shadows play with guitar

Waking The Fallen is the best album.

I really think he'd do great without the screaming he's an awesome vocalist but I'd miss the screaming lol

What we've heard in LIBAD and in their new live performances 🖤🤟🦇

He is so humble

Well it would be nice if he reworked some songs off sounding the seventh trumpet with singing, so OG fans can get to hear those songs live

I didn't know M. Shadows was getting into Euro Power bands like BG and SA! I remember people who wouldn't even give those bands a chance but would rock with Avenged Sevenfold RELIGIOUSLY!!! That's fucking hilarious to me! I'm glad he was digging that music too like I was!

Not a musician and def not a singer but I agree with Matt when it comes to screaming. I've watched some of the videos where men unexpectedly learn fry screaming almost right away with of course guidance and given they follow the proper technique. It's not the same case when you're screaming or trying to hit hight notes with certain melody because each song has to sound different from each other.

@NaPo7 he stopped screaming and distortion on his voice because of throat complications

I heard a rumor he tore his esophagus or something on stage in a small room in like 2004

He sounds like Norm MacDonald

I also prefer Avenged Sevenfold's songs without too much scream, just a cherry on top. Waking the Fallen has many scream but also nice clear melody, like I Won't See You Tonight pt 2 and the popular Unholy Confession. And today I think he almost use no scream at all in every song? But still sounds amazing. The Stage is by far my most favorite A7X album

It's nice that he trying something new thats not so mainstream. I mean everybody is screaming these days its really all he same and boring.

Sonata arctica mainittu! Torille!

Father and son 🤣

I know why he stopped, it was his decision. He never had surgery like many had speculated. He wanted fully clean vocals to be in their third album, moving away from metalcore.

Didn’t he injure himself from screaming? Or am I thinking of someone else?

damn wikipedia...full of BS lol

You know what Leonard Snart says about plans

I heard ,while i was in HS 2004 2006 he damaged his vocal chords and had to get surgery. There r performances around 2006 where he dodnt scream anymore while doing Waken the fallen tracks.. soooo i calll capppp

he did not

He should go back to metal

He had a great singing voice but I think he lost it shame though I thought the stage vocally was bad like i said shame
