?!? I never heard of this band, then suddenly they appear in Guitar World. I dunno if there a punk band, tho'. They seem to be more into tricks then playing (City of Evil is full of them). - Thu, 24 Nov 2005 6:22pm

I wouldn't say they're underated. They've been around for a few years. They were originally signed on Hopeless and put out 2 cds with them (Sounding the seventh trumpet and waking the fallen). I saw them last saturday in van with death by stereo. I can't say i was dissapointed but I probably wouldn't go see them again. The Major label thing seems to have gone to their head as with most bands. - Thu, 24 Nov 2005 7:06pm

I first saw them several years ago at the Warped Tour. Lots of make up. Buddy can do some singing though. I heard that whatshisnuts from Death By Stereo did some learning from the singer from Avenged; no idea if it's true. - Fri, 25 Nov 2005 8:40am

They look like Good Charlotte.
They sound like Motley Crue.
Basically the entire band needs to be purged from this earth for there has never been a band that sucks so hard before. - Fri, 25 Nov 2005 4:38pm

I think their new stuff is shiet. The new music video is so un-metal, pfft. I used to be really into them, I still like some of their old stuff. Not too into the huge fashioncore thing. - Fri, 25 Nov 2005 5:52pm

I thought Waking the Fallen was a pretty sweet album. The new stuff doesnt do anything for me. I saw them two years ago at warped tour on one of the side stages and enjoyed it. - Fri, 25 Nov 2005 6:13pm

I find there music/songs from City of Evil are full of tricks, can this band actually play a song without padding it with crap?!? - Fri, 25 Nov 2005 8:42pm

I actually listened to "Waking the Fallen" today, now that's a good CD. BTW: Metalcore? Can you honestly call a group that likes to pad there music with guitar tricks talented?!? It's like a newer version of Steve Vai. :) - Sat, 26 Nov 2005 11:35pm

Steve Vai didn't use protools.


and this band is soooooo far from Metalcore it's not even funny. I don't hear any hardcore, as Avenged Sevenfold is not a form of punk. I don't hear any metal either, as having a double kick and playing solos doesn't make you metal automatically. - Sun, 27 Nov 2005 1:41am
