Beast and The Harlot - Avenged Sevenfold

For When You Need Some Raging Rock
From beginning to end, this song demands attention, head banging, air drums and guitar are a must. I haven’t rocked out like a crazy person in a while, but this song will get me every time. The first time I heard this song was while playing Guitar Hero 2, and I was blown away. Those riffs mixed with heavy drums and singing, the energy was amazing! The song start with cymbal strong drums and power filled guitar, like an entrance of a beast busting through a wall. The guitar riffs from the verses are fast chords that speed into your ear drums, while the chorus moves up and down the scale in sets of three. The drums are fast and the double bass pedal moves fantastically. Our singer here is good, mixing more melodic singing with a harder voice, but unfortunately he doesn’t really push too much emotion in most of the song, and he isn’t much of a risk taker. Lyrically it isn’t too deep, the words are put to good use for sure and "epic," but they are no poetic masterpiece. But as a whole the song is just a ball of metal and energy that is ready to be blasted over the biggest speakers you have. The song calls out to the crazy heavy rocker in all of us, so ROCK ON!
