There are many reasons why City Of Evil is the definitive Avenged Sevenfold album. This is a great album all the same, the epic thump at the start of Desecrate Through Reverence and the driving, Maiden gallop of Second Heartbeat are just two of the highlights, but smashing it here and then bailing was probably the reason we’re still talking about Avenged Sevenfold today. Waking The Fallen takes that sound as far as it could really be pushed, and, with a band as ambitious as A7X, topping the pile of goth-metalcore bands was never going to sate their commercial ambitions. Seen by many early fans as the ultimate Avenged Sevenfold album, Waking The Fallen is the last album from “the metalcore years”, before frontman M Shadows decided to stop screaming for a while and the band decided to go in a completely different direction.
