Comment by Aanchel June 2, 2010 @ 8:40 amso far away i like the name
Comment by BC June 2, 2010 @ 8:40 amActually thats the only thing that I don’t like in this post lol….reminds me way too much of shitty Dragonforce
Comment by Drew June 2, 2010 @ 1:34 pmreminds me of that song by staind
Comment by David Castleman June 2, 2010 @ 8:55 pmlol i dont know anything by them, but i do know that Dragonforce has the words “so far away” in the chorus of like eight of their songs….one of the many reasons why i think they straight up cant write music
Comment by Drew June 2, 2010 @ 9:05 pmI’m so fucking excited!
Comment by Vayne92 June 2, 2010 @ 8:41 am“god hates us”…

Comment by Christina June 2, 2010 @ 8:44 amIts killin me
why do you say Jesus? if god hated them so does he lol
Comment by Metal June 2, 2010 @ 11:00 am11 minutes!!! The longest songs they got are so beyond epic.
Shattered By Broken Dreams, I Won’t See You Tonight, MIA, Strength Of The World, A Little Piece Of Heaven…all those were only 7 to 9 minutes…
Comment by Brandon June 2, 2010 @ 8:45 amIm pretty sure its the song “Fiction” that the rev wrote right before he died. im excited in a very sad way.
Comment by Anonymous June 2, 2010 @ 9:27 amI hope 5 minutes of the song isn’t a solo and intro
Comment by Jmac June 2, 2010 @ 10:11 ami do. thats the best
Comment by Anonymous June 2, 2010 @ 3:34 pmnope, shadows said they put a song after that one
Comment by Anonymous June 2, 2010 @ 10:18 amthey said that fiction was the second to last song in an interview
Comment by Anonymous June 2, 2010 @ 10:25 amgod hates us…thats what the title of the DBN post about the studio
Comment by BC June 2, 2010 @ 8:45 amIs this 11 minute-long song Fiction? The one the Rev called his masterpiece and the song that has clips of him singing in it?
Comment by mesa June 2, 2010 @ 8:45 amIf I remember correctly, M said that “Fiction” would be the second to last song on the album.
Comment by deathbatnews June 2, 2010 @ 8:52 amyea it was supposed to be the last song but then they moved it around
Comment by BC June 2, 2010 @ 9:08 amWhen did he say that?
Comment by Lands. June 2, 2010 @ 9:41 amin one of his interviews that i saw one here listened to too many in the past few weeks to remember which one…sry
Comment by BC June 2, 2010 @ 10:08 amHe said it in one of those recent interviews that were posted here a few weeks ago. The interviewer was asking about Fiction and called it the last song on the record and Shadows said it was the second to last song.
Comment by PM7X June 2, 2010 @ 10:10 amOh, I wonder wat the last song is gonna be called.
Comment by Lands. June 2, 2010 @ 10:34 amNo, i think that will be a short song
Comment by Anonymous June 2, 2010 @ 9:28 amA good 3-5 minutes? Lol. I hope, all I know is that it was written by the Rev and it was the revs nickname and it started off with the title Death.
Comment by Lands. June 2, 2010 @ 10:08 amshit! i hope so. i think i recall someone saying that fiction was the last song on the album but i could be wrong but if it is then FUCK YEAH!!

Comment by Stephanie Cote June 2, 2010 @ 9:05 amAhhhhh, I can’t wait to get my hands on thiiiis!
Comment by Vanessa June 2, 2010 @ 9:08 amAll I can say is…damn it. I can’t fucking wait, and yet at the same time I’m nervous because I know this album will break my heart.
Comment by Sarah June 2, 2010 @ 9:09 amIf god truly exists then he hates Avenged Sevenfold, and I refuse to surrender my will to that asshole.
Comment by Sephyr June 2, 2010 @ 9:16 amHow can you say He hates them?
Comment by Danniel June 2, 2010 @ 1:42 pmThey’re famous, rich and you know
God most certainly does not hate Avenged Sevenfold. The five guys were his greatest creations and they display what humans are capable of doing. They are the best of men, and if God exists, he recognizes that.
foREVer </3
Comment by Luke June 2, 2010 @ 3:36 pmOoookay.
Comment by Scratch June 2, 2010 @ 3:38 pmDear God/God hates us: please help me to understand…it’s because jimmy died…?
Comment by matt V June 2, 2010 @ 9:16 amIt might be one of the former ‘concept’ songs. And even if it isn’t, that doesn’t mean it necessarily mean that ‘God hates us’ as in ‘God hates Avenged Sevenfold’. :P
Comment by Sarah June 2, 2010 @ 10:22 amI completely agree with you Sarah!!
Comment by Alicia June 2, 2010 @ 10:53 amyes but maybe it means:”God hates mankind because He lets men die and suffer…” but in my opinion this is blasphemous…
Comment by matt V June 3, 2010 @ 3:44 amWow, an 11-minute song! I’m so anxious for Syn’s song! *_*
Comment by Rianna June 2, 2010 @ 9:17 amOw God, 1 month and 25 days for the album to be released. I CANT WAIT!
Can anybody scan it for us? :)
Comment by arielle June 2, 2010 @ 9:19 amI am so excited for this album… Mayhem fest the day the album is out… Gonna be so good. :D A7X foREVer!
Comment by Emilee June 2, 2010 @ 9:22 amI cannot wait to see them at Mayhem!!!! ahh :D
Comment by Stephanie Cote June 2, 2010 @ 11:18 amthe only thing that sucks for me is getting up early so i can get the album before mayhem.. in a way i want it to get leaked so i can be somewhat familiar with the songs before i see them!
foREVer
Comment by Rob June 24, 2010 @ 8:55 amThis is gonna be an amazing record. and very hard to listen to without tearing up… but i cant fucking wait.
Comment by Chazzy Vengeance June 2, 2010 @ 9:25 am‘god hates us’? ahh cant wait! >.<
damn it all its gonna brain fuck me!!!
Comment by shagydrummerx June 2, 2010 @ 9:30 amMaybe the last song will be “I Wont See You Tonight Part 3”? If its 11 minutes long then its gotta be that song, since the first 1 was like 8 minutes long.. Hopefully the ‘God Hates Us’ song will be amazing. if it is the heaviest thing they have ever done. Im just saying, this cd looks to be amazing, I cant wait to listen to Fiction and So Far Away. I cant wait til this cd is released.
Comment by Lands. June 2, 2010 @ 9:32 amAll I’m gonna say is, that comment that “God Hates Us” is the heaviest thing they’ve ever done better not be exaggeration… Unless, of course, they mean ‘heaviest’ in that it’s the most emotional or disturbing/depressing.
Comment by Skull Cupcake June 2, 2010 @ 9:32 amUnholy Confessions – Dear God – God Hates Us
Headin back to the roots!!
Comment by JC June 2, 2010 @ 9:34 amdammit

Comment by Metal June 2, 2010 @ 10:56 amO my god!!! I can’t believe it! I’m so excited!!!
Comment by Sojacked June 2, 2010 @ 9:40 amThe emotion of the band has clearly been channeled through the songs, just their names say it all…
Comment by Tholomew June 2, 2010 @ 9:43 amYet another song titled “So Far Away” that’s probably going to be an all-time favorite of mine, along with Staind’s and Crossfade’s.
Comment by Julie June 2, 2010 @ 9:45 amSo we got 2 more song titles that’s cool. I think this album will shock the music industry.
Comment by josh June 2, 2010 @ 9:48 amFUCKYEAH!

Comment by rexy June 2, 2010 @ 10:18 ami’m super excited.
Comment by ruth June 2, 2010 @ 10:22 amYES. I always love new details on the record. So far this is easily the most hyped up record of my life. This is how excited I was for the last record…times 100,000,000,000! I wonder what the 11-minute song is going to sound like..
Comment by a7xfreakdrummer June 2, 2010 @ 10:26 amEPIC :)
Comment by Ghostflame83 June 2, 2010 @ 10:44 amhell yeahh..!!
-nightmare
Comment by a7xjandro June 2, 2010 @ 10:28 am-danger line
-So far away
-god hates us
-fiction
Nightmare should be the first song, then So Far Away. Then to end it, I think it will be Fiction then Danger Line? If thats the last song.. Then idk where God Hates Us will be put.. Maybe 6 or 7.
Comment by Lands. June 2, 2010 @ 10:36 amI wonder how many songs will be on this album i heard in a interview..shadows said they have 11 ideas does that mean 11 songs???
Comment by Jonathan June 2, 2010 @ 12:32 pmFuck yes!
Comment by Inge June 2, 2010 @ 10:36 amlmao its gonna be the best when i first get the record.
Comment by Jeremy June 2, 2010 @ 10:39 amlol im gonna stay up all night listening!!! XD no one better disturb me -.o
This is like slowly peeling off a band-aid….hahahaha!! I am sooooooo ready for this album!! Patience is not a virtue I was blessed with, so I’m on pins and needles for this new album. I appreciate their creativity and how they push themselves to do something different with each album, all the while keeping the hard rock roots that have made them my favorite band of forever and always. So I’m ready to rip this damn band-aid off already….come on July!!!!!!
Comment by Christen June 2, 2010 @ 10:54 amI have never been so hyped up for a record in my entire life….this is the coolest thing ever, I CANT WAIT!!!! brains will melt at the epicness XD
Comment by Alicia June 2, 2010 @ 10:57 amHow many songs is there gonna be over all? :S
Comment by Hannah7X June 2, 2010 @ 10:57 amSWEET!!! CANT FREKIN’ WAIT!!! xD

Comment by Andrea June 2, 2010 @ 10:58 amOMJ i so can’t wait for this cd…ahhh i’m so pumbed!!!
Comment by Zacorra June 2, 2010 @ 11:04 amman i’m beyond stoked. mostly for fiction though.
eep.
<3
Comment by dvengenz June 2, 2010 @ 11:18 amOh man, can’t wait any longer!
Comment by Aline June 2, 2010 @ 11:21 ami’m going to shoot a pasty load in my shorts.
Comment by niko. June 2, 2010 @ 11:32 amLmao!!!
Comment by ^britt^ June 3, 2010 @ 9:11 amNot sure if this has been answered. I’ve read and watched and listened to sooo many interviews. I can’t fully remember…haha
Comment by Thomas June 2, 2010 @ 11:50 amHas the number of tracks on the album been released yet?
I’m hoping it’s a big amount.
No they haven’t said I don’t think. And I follow them very closely.
Comment by Aaron June 2, 2010 @ 1:55 pmI thought I heard 9 somewhere.
Comment by Scratch June 2, 2010 @ 3:35 pm11 mins…awesome,i absolutely love all their lenghty songs
Comment by me June 2, 2010 @ 11:51 amI don’t think there will be a I Wont See You Tonight pt. 3 as the only reason there was two parts is kinda like Slipknot with Vermillion pt. 1 and 2. But I do wanna say an 11 minute long song will be pretty epic and could be the best thing ever for Live shows. My question is I wonder if Syn and his dad will duel guitars for Syns song to the Rev ;)
Comment by Terrance Phifer June 2, 2010 @ 11:57 amI Wont See You Tonigt pt.1 and 2 is about Justins Sane? the lyrics is parts of his suicide letter, or am I totally wrong? xD
Comment by RaZoR June 2, 2010 @ 2:43 pmNot quite… Justin didn’t commit suicide, he tryed though! And the “part 1/part 2” thing is inspired by Pantera’s “Suicide Note” (which also as a ballad-like part 1 and a hardcore part 2).
Comment by Anonymous June 7, 2010 @ 3:09 pmA song heavier than their STST/WTF stuff? Can’t wait to hear it, and the 11 minute song (their long songs are always great)
Comment by Jon June 2, 2010 @ 12:01 pmSomeone know if the song “God Hates Us” was written after or before jimmy´s death ?
Comment by Anonymous June 2, 2010 @ 12:04 pmPretty sure it was after, as a letter to him.
Comment by Revenge June 2, 2010 @ 12:39 pmno i think it was before the only song that was after was the one syn wrote so far away
Comment by BC June 2, 2010 @ 12:55 pmI’m pretty sure it was before, since Jimmy wrote most of it, including the drums that Portnoy played. Since Portnoy probably didn’t write any drum parts, they must have already been written by Jimmy, which would mean before.
Comment by Seth June 2, 2010 @ 1:54 pmPossible bane for the last song: the reverend bartholomew plague?
Comment by zach June 2, 2010 @ 12:18 pmThis album will go down in history. Its gonna be soooooooo fucking amazing! I hope they still have that instrumental they always used to play live – I’ve been waiting a year and a half for that
Comment by FretMuppet June 2, 2010 @ 12:28 pmyeah man that sounds soooooo good. I hope its in one of there songs….if not an instrumental. But i bet itlll sound better with lyrics and more to it.
Comment by eh7x June 2, 2010 @ 12:48 pmAnyone else think the last one is gonna be ‘Fiction’? I can’t remember if Matt said what number that one would be, but Jimmy’s songs are usually longer; look at ALPOH.
Comment by Revenge June 2, 2010 @ 12:40 pmfiction is the second to last it was going to be last but i think syn said they moved one after it
Comment by BC June 2, 2010 @ 12:56 pmWell, I’ve read that that song exist out of piano parts and 3 lines of lyrics, so I don’t think that’s enough for 11 mins
Comment by lean99zz June 2, 2010 @ 1:28 pmMatt said in an interview fiction is 2nd to last.
Comment by Anonymous June 2, 2010 @ 1:40 pmMatt said that Fiction is the second to last song on the album.
Comment by Aaron June 2, 2010 @ 1:54 pmGod hates us better have som screamo, crazy drumz,n awesom guitar solo,this album sounds lik da best A7X album,A7X foREVer!
Comment by Sergio June 2, 2010 @ 12:41 pmthat was the one with the picture that DBN had a while ago with lead voc, screan voc, verse bgn, total nightmare and god hates us
Comment by BC June 2, 2010 @ 12:59 pmand yes i think it will
i cant fucking wait to hear this whole album, im anxious for Fiction writen by the rev and God Hates us. its gonna be fucking sick!! best album forever forsure!!
Comment by Chris Chaos` June 2, 2010 @ 12:44 pmPssible name for last song: the reverend bartholomew plague?
Comment by zach June 2, 2010 @ 12:49 pmi bet that “sorry did i wake your sleep” thing is a joke referring to the album cover. probably a child and a giant deathbat haha
Comment by eh7x June 2, 2010 @ 12:50 pmWell, why would god take someone so close to us knowing all the pain and misery it would cause us. Because he hates us. That must have been their mind set writing that song. Man, i can’t wait to hear this record!
Comment by Julian June 2, 2010 @ 12:54 pmIf you search Zinio.com you can see a preview of the magazine and it lets you zoom in on 3 pages so you can read the article. Its a really good interview!
Comment by SaraLeann June 2, 2010 @ 1:25 pmlol, 11 mins :p that won’t even fit on youtube
Comment by lean99zz June 2, 2010 @ 1:25 pmTo claim the heaviest song yet…..they better live up to the hype thats all Im saying :D
Comment by Terrance Phifer June 2, 2010 @ 1:29 pmCut it out withthe I won’t see you tonight part 3 bullshit. Those songs were about suicide
Comment by Anonymous June 2, 2010 @ 1:39 pmI’m so exited about this album, but ”down to the devil’s show, to be his guest forever” and God Hates Us…I hope they’re not turning satanic, lol.
Comment by Danniel June 2, 2010 @ 1:40 pmLol! I doubt it. God Hates Us makes me think of the feeling a person gets once someone dies, like “Why them? Why did god have to take them?” You start to scorn god for it. That’s only my guess, though.
Comment by Scratch June 2, 2010 @ 3:33 pmReally looking forward to it, not so sure there’s gonna be an IWSYT pt. 3. What would it be about? Pt. 1 was the view from the person who committed suicide, and pt. 2 was from a good friends view. What else could their be?
Comment by Seth June 2, 2010 @ 1:56 pmno the idea is that the new “11 min heaviest song ever” has to beat IWSYT pt 2 in heaviness
Comment by Alley June 2, 2010 @ 3:18 pmThe 11 minute song isn’t gonna be the heavy one…they didn’t give a title for the 11-minute one and the heavy one is called “God Hates Us”
Comment by Drew June 2, 2010 @ 6:06 pm…I’m not thinking you understand what I said… It just doesn’t make sense to have an IWSYT Pt. 3.
Comment by Seth June 2, 2010 @ 7:39 pmah man i’m not a cryer, but this is gonna be such a hard album to listen to without crying =[
Comment by JordanA7X June 2, 2010 @ 2:37 pmhaving said that though, we could be hearing screaming on ‘God hates us’
God, an 11 minute songs? The long songs are always fucking brutal. (MIA, I Wont See You Tonight, ALPOH) & I can’t wait to hear “God Hates Us” as well.
I’m very proud of these boys. They’ve really worked hard on this album.
Comment by Alex June 2, 2010 @ 2:40 pmHeavier than Desecrate Through Reverance or I Won’t See You Tonight pt. 2? Could they do that without the sreaming?
Comment by Seba June 2, 2010 @ 2:47 pmLet’s hope not lol. I’m personally crossing my fingers for screaming on this album
Comment by Drew June 2, 2010 @ 6:07 pmMe too! But I try not to think about that… :P
Comment by Seba June 2, 2010 @ 6:33 pmI can’t fuckin wait! I KNOW that this is going to be epic.
Comment by Alyson June 2, 2010 @ 3:07 pm11 minutes??? If I’m not wrong… the last song is “Fiction”, The Rev’s song… so that song is a 11 minutes song? o.O
Comment by Polay June 2, 2010 @ 3:21 pmno it was moved to the second to last song they moved another one to the end
Comment by BC June 2, 2010 @ 4:03 pmFUCKKKKKK, I JUST CAN’T WAIT!!
Comment by SYNNER June 2, 2010 @ 3:26 pmomg cant wait!
Comment by emilyA7X June 2, 2010 @ 3:59 pmwasn’t there a song that shadows wrote for him as well?
well anyway i cant wait to see them…anyone who’s going to San Diego on September 18 to see them tell me!
A7X foREVer
<3
Heaviest thing they have ever done eh?
Comment by Brandon N June 2, 2010 @ 4:33 pmEven heavier than I Won’t See You Tonight Part 2?
only waiting this album!!!
Comment by Malus June 2, 2010 @ 5:55 pmOkay, I stand corrected, looks like God Hates Us was a title after all =p
Comment by David Castleman June 2, 2010 @ 9:04 pmomfg I can’t wait for this.. I CANT FUCKIN’ WAIT!!
Comment by ChrisPL June 3, 2010 @ 8:23 amHeaviest song ever huh…can’t fuckin wait!
