You’ll Have A “Nightmare” On May 18th. Hear A Clip Of The Song Now!
May 6, 2010, 3:45 pm
Filed under: Avenged Sevenfold, News

This post on Amazon would suggest Avenged Sevenfold’s brand new single “Nightmare” will be released on May 18th. The song apparently runs 6 minutes and 16 seconds. You can preview the song here. The preview has now been taken down, I hope you guys got to enjoy it while it was up!  I won’t allow links to the preview in comments because it was taken down for a reason. Hope you guys understand!

Enjoy the single cover art below:

Big thanks to Alec for sending this in!

Comment by Anonymous

twenty? thats it, I already got it downloaded, on my ipod and on repeat.

Comment by Seth

omg how?!

Comment by Anonymous

How did you download it?

Comment by LKN Park A7X

I use the freeware mp3mymp3, just google it, it allows you to record whatever youre playing off your speakers.

Comment by Seth

can you email the part you have recorded. they took it off so you cant preview it anymore. my email is jpereira6@live.com I would appreciate that if you could do that for me. thanks

Comment by paul

It is still on youtube. Just download the youtube to mp3 converter (google it, I think it’s by a company called freesoft, or something similar) and you can get anything on youtube with that.

Comment by Dr BreakDown

Could you upload it somewhere?

I wasn’t able to use a sound recorder at the time and now they took it down…

Comment by PM7X

MOD NOTE: We won’t be posting any links here as it was taken down for a reason. We hope you understand.

Comment by deathbatnews

OK, yea I understand.
Amazon probably wasn’t supposed to release a preview.

Comment by PM7X

yeah, I’m just gonna keep it to myself, like DBN said, its for a reason. Don’t worry though, only 12 days.

Comment by Seth

Please give us a download link!

Comment by Locotes

Comment by Mary

Portnoy’s done a great job. I’m so excited for this that words just can’t explain!!

Comment by Renee

Omg! the drumming made me cry.
I know I’ll cry through the entire album.
M.Shadows sounds amazing!! :D
I can’t wait!! :D

Comment by Sarah Plague

btw :D Mike did an AMAZING job on the drums.
It’s sounds just like the rev.

foREVer <3

Comment by Sarah Plague

Fuckin sick!! lol mike sorta goes beast mode in the preview lol

Its your fucking nightmare

Comment by Arron

Mike Portnoy, in my opinion, sounds like he’s fitting quite well in A7X. But still i bitterly remind myself that its not The Rev behind the kit….:'(

Comment by Noel Contreras

But it’s the Rev’s drum tracks that he wrote when they were writing this album that Portnoy is playing. Portnoy said he’ll stay true to Jimmy’s tracks, so I’d like to think this is Jimmy we’re hearing.

Can’t stop listenin!!! Love the lyrics so far and Shads Axl voice rocks!

Comment by GFall

got to listin before it was taken downnn hearing A7X again and it being a new song was orgasmic!

Comment by haley

I wanted to hear it more!!! :O Damn that they did take it down

Comment by RaZoR

the cover is very waking the fallen looking. I love this song already! I’m probably jumping the gun big time but this already sounds better then the last album and city of evil. It sounds like S/t and waking the fallen combined. the haunting background noises and piano remind me a lot of the waking the fallen songs.

Comment by j-mac

i think it’s like they took everything good from city of evil and self titled, and put it into this album. with a hint of waking the fallen in the background with the haunting and creepy piano and stuff. so fucking excited

Comment by synystersam

Yeah Very Waking the fallen Style

Comment by GFall

You guys, stop asking for links, you obviously can’t post them here. Respect the band, they obviously didn’t want it on Amazon.

Comment by Seth

i downloaded a copy of the preview!

Comment by Jeremy

From the way everyone is commenting, we can make this the #1 download on MAY 18th!
foREVer!!!!

Comment by Nikki

We will!

Comment by PM7X

now to decipher the lyrics!

Comment by j-mac

I’m already figuring out how to play it on the guitar! XD

Comment by cheesypotatoe

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Warner Music Group.

Comment by fatboy

For those who got to listen to the preview:
WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE?
I mean, guitars, vocals, drumms, lyrics?
TELL!

Comment by Mamerto

what’s your email address?

Comment by synystersam

Honestly the preview was a huge tease. I almost wish i didn’t hear it. I think it was the chorus and it had shadows singing. Drums sounded just like jimmy. I think it went ” It hurts to know, that you belong here….. your fucking nightmare” Not sure if thats 100% accurate but it was something like that. It wasnt a big guitar part, just some power chords i think……..BUT IT SOUNDING FUCKING RAD. It was only like 20 seconds.

Comment by eh7x

Hey, I just heard it!!
I could listen to it until the album comes out!

Comment by Mamerto

vocals- very much like everything on the last album. at first its shadows shouting then it goes into the haunting chorus that to me sounds like a mix of waking the fallen and S/T. there are backing vocals and also a piano in the background. the chorus ends with all the music coming to a halt and shadows saying ” It’s your fucking nightmareeeeeeee.” then it goes into shadows sounding like axl rose a bit saying “Now your nightmare comes to liiiffffeee.”

guitar – all i can say from the 30 seconds is it is very avenged sevenfold.

drums- again sounds a lot like the rev is drumming even though its not.

all in all the song has a very haunting vibe which fits the fact that the song is called “nightmare”

Comment by j-mac

Damn, Thank you very much

Comment by Mamerto

just go listen to it! they put it back on youtube.

Comment by synystersam

Arrrgghhh, greaaat

Comment by reccarebellion

you guys should check out my music video that I made for afterlife. It’s pretty sweet. If the link doesn’t work or get posted, just youtube search ‘rydson afterlife’

Comment by steve

Nice afterlife video looks really awesome

Comment by Max

Nice, pretty smooth and complicated =D

Comment by reccarebellion

HOLY FUCK!
I CAN NOT WAIT!
Damn but i missed the frikin preview…fml.
foREVer!

Comment by Lauren

On the part that says ‘Nothing stops the madness turning haunting yearning pull the trigger’ it kinda sounds like The Wicked End where it says ‘Now I know I’ve seen it all in my life of misery’

Looks like its gonna be an awesome album..can’t wait to buy it..but then again A7X could put out a record of silence..and i would still buy it..lol

Comment by Karina

YES! I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who thought this. A little different rhythm for the vocals, but very similar.

So fucking excited!

Comment by Gpag

yea that definitely looks like jimmy!! it looks as though it symbolizes jimmy’s spirit (smoky effect) leaving his body.. at least that’s my interpretation of the cover.. looking fwd to the album!

Comment by Michelle

I heard the preview it’s FUCKING A!! the best thing ever! if someone download it or whatever plz send me this on e-mail

violet_vengenz@hotmail.com

Comment by shaggydrummer33

You can find the preview elsewhere…

Comment by Anonymous

…I got it guys. Thanks for the offer. A7X community is the shizzle. Glad to see other people love this band as much as I do (but I am old enough to be most of ya’ll father!)

man…they are really bringing in the G-N-R sound. shadows has that same sound axle does. Its tight as all get up. Mad props to MP for keeping the Rev’s vison and spirit alive with his drum tracks…sounds like the rev is sitting on his shoulder baning away!

Comment by snuffy

i think i got the lyrics figured out:

‘Nothing stops the madness turning haunting yearning pull the trigger

You should of known, the price of evil
and it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
oooohhhhh it’s your fucking nightmare…

While your nightmare comes to life.

i’m about 95% sure this is right.

Comment by j-mac

i think its you sholuld have known, the price of leaving (Not evil) but i could be wrong

Comment by Derek

pretty sure its evil dude

Oh my gosh. This was the best! I can’t WAIT! :D

I was actually jammin’ to A7X songs on Rockband when I checked Twitter..about half an hour later after it had been posted, ran to my computer and found a freakin’ link. MY GOODNESS. IT SOUNDS AMAZING! We HAVE to make this #1 everywhere (iTunes, etc..) and have it trend on Twitter!

Heard the song, it’s on youtube if you look hard enough. Boy oh boy, the guys are back!

guys- this song is amazing! but dont print links or anythin- we can wait. we ahouldnt do that 2 a7x

Comment by Anonymous

Just… Wow… It’s gonna be a long 10 days and an even longer couple of months.

Comment by Andy

I don’t think the song is that good. But then again it’s only 30 seconds. If you listen to the end of the preview you can tell Portnoy added his own flavor to the song.

Comment by Chase

No, since I read your comment, I’ve listened to the sample many more times. I have been playing drums for 5 years now, and listening to a7x even longer. The toms may be tuned a little tighter than the Rev had them, but that fill that you hear Mike play during the fade out is the type of fill that the Rev would have incorporated.

Comment by Gpag

Comment by shaggydrummer33

I bet A7X put that preview up to give us a little teaser. Thank you Avenged! Now I can’t wait for the 18th

Comment by Josh

I wonder if they will make a video for this. I imagine it would be pretty awesome. I bet we will get the whole song today around 4:30 pm from avenged sevenfold themselves, just like critical acclaim from the self titled and beast and the harlot from city of evil. I bet we get an album date today and album title. They like releasing stuff like this on Fridays.

Comment by J-mac

YES!!!!! my birthday si May 18th i get the newsong on m birthday!!

Comment by Aaron Rouse

Is this song about the rev?

Comment by Anonymous

Doubt it. As far as i know all the songs were already written before the rev had passed away.

Comment by J-mac

Aaaaactually, the lyrics weren’t finished at the time of recording. SHadows mentions it in a recent magazine interview. He had some lyrics written, but most of them were written after the death of The Rev

Comment by A7XEric

I’m sure they would’ve written songs about the Rev after he passed, there will probably be even more songs then originally intended.

Comment by Anonymous

I wonder that too. I mean who knows i read somewhere that the songs were finished before he passed away but there was some songs that still needed to add lyrics to the songs..so yea

Comment by Anonymous

I just don’t know whether to be pissed or unbelievably excited!! This is just way too much of a fucking tease!! ONLY 30 SECONDS?! :( I’m just getting way entirely too impatient for this record to come out!! I can’t fucking wait!!

Hey, guys sup. umm i was just on Rockband Forums the GAME and they all Discussion this and some are saying that, The Rev Wrote the Drum pattern for it before he left so he was Gonna be the Drummer for the new album but that happened ( R>< REV ) but everyone said Mike Portnoy did the drum like the Rev Wrote it Including the Fills :) and some say its the Rev playing it they Recorded it before he left idk.

Comment by Adam

The Rev wrote all of the drum parts, he did not play any of them. Mike Portnoy plays the drums on the record.
