It's shocking to see how well you nailed the A7X sound. If I heard this song without knowing the history behind it, I'd have thought it was a random A7X single.
Legit sounds like an A7X b-side, you can feel the love flowing forth from this creation. They’re my favorite band ever and you did them justice in a legendary way. Big props brooooo
I've listened to A7X since 2006 (thank you NFS most wanted) and you absolutely nailed it. I missed the old sound, even though I love their new style after The Stage, and this song instantly took me back to my childhood.
It really is like a perfect blend of WtF and CoE!!! I’m astonished, though I shouldn’t be at this point. Everything Nick does turns into golden pandas!!!!
Loving the choice you made to go back to making music and showing respect to all the bands you've listened to growing up. Can't wait for a Killswitch and BFMV song.
Justin does a really good job achieving Shadow's vocal style and the Nik's little melodic licks throughout the song sound so much like the stuff Syn did in the earlier albums. this is sick
Facts Nik really captured it, and Justin is probably the closest you could get to M Shadows unique vocals, he's not exactly the same he's missing some aspects of Matt's vocals he's not quite as gruff or nasally sounding as Matt but still he did an amazing job
Uhhh shadows vocal style has changed considerably and I highly doubt anyone can Keep up with the constant technique changes. So again hard to pinpoint the "matt style" when it changes everytime. An easy adapt is just say axl rose.
Honestly if someone that didn’t listen to avenged everyday heard this, I’m not sure they could tell this is not then. This is extremely good and spot on
Fun fact, I actually tested this. I played a bit of avenged sevenfold, and then slipped this song in and someone paused and looked at me like "wait.. this sounds like Avenged but the vocals are off-"
This is fucking awesome Nik, probably your second best yet behind Pain. Really hope Matt sees this, he would love this. Need to get them on the stream for the new album
I think Mad should be up there top 3 along with this one, I feel like he nailed Slipknot and A7X, hell, it even sounds more Slipknot and A7X than Slipkont and A7X these days.
This is the exact sound that made me absolutely love avenged. I know they like to try new things and some of it has been good but some of it's been a little bland. To me, they're at their best when they write songs like this Something tells me that The Rev was instrumental in that portion of their songwriting,.
he absolutely was. most of the lyrics on nightmare were still written by him, is it really a wonder hail to the king was the next album? i love some songs off all albums, but yeah man the rev was the primary lyricist
@@cadecantrell3276 I hear ya. There are pieces of the song that I like from both "Nobody" and "We love you". Wish I could love the entire song like I do with a lot of their old stuff though.
For me it leans more towards nightmare, but there's definitely elements of everything in there. I think I even heard a bit of Nobody on the leads that come in over the clean part
Hands down you're an absolute legend nik! That end solo is genius. People take this guy for granted just because he jokes around but you're one of the best metal musician in this era
To come up with the stuff he does, in the timeframe that he does it, takes a special kind of person. Nik is by far one of the most talented people I’ve come across, on multiple fronts.
Awesome! IMO the guitar styling is damn near spot on! Especially the harmonies. If someone said “here’s the new avenged song” I wouldn’t think twice about it not being them.
Some bands need 10+ years for a new album because of the "creative process" while Nik just drops banger after banger in different styles/genres 😂 amazing work man, thanks!
This kind of stuff isn't hard to do, especially for a good musician like Nik. I guarantee when he is trying to write for his own stuff it's a lot more involved.
It's easier when you have a template, synthesizing something totally new with its own distinct sound is a lot harder, still god damn impressive none the less.
This is closer to a paint by numbers than creating your own unique painting from scratch though. That’s the difference, not saying Nik isn’t talented, but it’s an entirely different process.
@@Jwlar Like a paint by numbers, except you've only been given colors. Have to place the numbers yourself, then use the paint provided to make the picture you drew.
@@DenvarShay I would say you have the colours, numbers and outlines, but they are all scattered randomly and you must align them all yourself. A lot of this song is a "greatest hits" taken from the best of A7X and expertly played and composed. It still takes talent, but it is also much different to starting with a blank canvas with nothing else. I'm sure Nik himself would agree.
Bro what the f*** i was just suggested this on spotify and i was so confused because i didn't think A7X had a new song out, Google research brought me here, 1000000/10 man Bravo with a capital B
This is a legit banger, can't believe you just smashed it out, sounds like something from the self titled/nightmare era. That singer is dank too, captures the Shadows vibe without being an impression; he should be in a band with you.
This is actually fucking amazing! You captured the early A7X vibes here really well, especially the characteristics of each album. I think it would fit well on a City of Evil-style album (the chorus and overall vibes fit into this era i think) The only critcism I have is the drum programming not really fitting the style of The Rev, but that would be quite difficult to achieve and probably isn't worth the time.
Bro you got a real talent to re create the EXACT sound of so many different bands. And to be able to write original songs following that theme, that actually sounds FCKIN AWESOME makes u a musical God in my eyes man keep it up
I could not be happier with this. This is fuckin fire. They should hire you to ghost write something. Thank you for tiding us over till the new album! Please do atleast one more
Fucking awesome man!! Even the album cover looks very avenged. The song is just bad ass. It was like when 10 second songs did a cover of welcome to the black parade in the style of avenged sevenfold. So bad ass!!
This is hands down one of your coolest videos dude. It really shows how much influence Syn has had on your playing. Killed it and made a banger that sounds like it could be from self titled or city of evil 🥹🤘
I love everything Avenged has ever put out (yes I know I'm a bit of a fanboy, just deal with it), so I can't say this is better than anything they themselves have done in recent years, but this whole song is a pretty accurate depiction of their overall sound throughout their career, so I definitely approve of this.
they change sound in certain ways on every album, that's their style and it works for them. But yeah, whenever someone says A7X style song, this fits the description with almost everything checked.
@@gergoretvari6373 Exactly, they've done things their way their entire career even with the sound deviations from all the way back on Sounding The Seventh Trumpet and they were one of the first metalcore bands to refuse to be nailed to just that subgenre and branch out into a more straightforward and often experimental style, which is what I've always respected them for doing because they've made it work. Their status as one of the biggest modern metal bands going today has proven how pivotal that choice was
@@Colt2OO2 100% agreed. And i'm so glad they did. Otherwise they wouldn't have created songs with different vibes like Little Piece Of Heaven, or The Stage.
This song is actually genius. This is exactly what I wish the new A7X album sounded like. This song delivers that punch that I wish their two new revealed songs had and reminds me of why I came to love A7X in the first place.
Nik turns into a mad genius whenever he's writing and I love to see it. The song is a masterpiece that could have easily been the resulted of scraped a7x material somewhere between waking the fallen and city of evil
this and the WTTBP cover by Anthony Viceny must be the best A7X style songs of all time and damn, the singer is not only pshicaly looking like M.Shadows, but also sounds a lot like him
OUTSTANDING. I love how you dress up to the ocasion. Such quality content, you've nailed a7x style, lots of laughs and even performed an amazing song. Core kid did it again, aka Nocturnal gates
@@tose5566 It is, but it doesn't have that "holy crap I'm in musical paradise" feel to it that songs like nightmare, HTTK, etc had. I am a massive a7x fan and had to honestly really push myself to appreciate the new song. Like, let's not kid ourselves, we all listened to Nobody a million times for it to grow on us, whereas I'm sure everyone was floored when the first notes of Syns's solo on nightmare hit. I will always support them going in different directions, but 2003-2013 A7X is peak music for me.
This is insane man, holy shit, I was inspired to pick up and learn guitar from a young age after hearing City of Evil in school and listening to this put a smile on my face, it was like hearing them for the first time again, sad to see the direction theyve gone after Hail to the king but excited to see what comes up next

Perfectly captured Nightmare, City of Evil, and Waking The Fallen in one song.
Well done!
Exactly what I was thinking
I'd say there's even some of the Stage and Self Titled in this as well and the Solo has some "Nobody" vibes to it as well.
@Miden King I can definitely agree to that as well!!
He completely nailed this!
Should rename his channel the Core Wizard
Also got a bit from the self titled album, that one part of guitar leading into the revs vocals
Homie your starting to be better at making songs than some bands.
Nothing new here, he has done that for a while

I disagree honestly, I'm not a huge A7X fan but I like them and to me this sounded like something you hear on the radio. No doubt 100%
This is such a genius segment you have started. You get to pay tribute to a band without any copyright issues

@@EuroJorrå Glad I wasn't the only one growing up with such masterpieces, this brings me so much memories
Blinded in Chains is one badass track, I agree 🤟
Most Wanted introduced my to A7X too and i've been listening to their music since then very actively - i just love their music a lot.
Welcome to the Most Wanted club
Want some good 2000's tracks?
I listen to this earlier today on Spotify, and it was great. Really captured the essence of old Avenged Sevenfold.
Everything but an A7x song is never less than 5 minutes so it is the only short comming in the song
Some of the guitar is similar to old avenged sevenfold but the song feels more like a mix of Nightmare and The Stage.
It really is like a perfect blend of WtF and CoE!!! I’m astonished, though I shouldn’t be at this point. Everything Nick does turns into golden pandas!!!!
Would love the band to hear this and be liked "dude, how baked were we when we recorded this?"
Loving the choice you made to go back to making music and showing respect to all the bands you've listened to growing up. Can't wait for a Killswitch and BFMV song.

@@SalomonX88 Yessssss
Some older BFMV would be sick.
BFMV would be sooo sick
I put bfmv though google translate it came through as shoot my valentine and I can’t not call it that
DUDE! Avenged needs to buy the rights to this song and re- record it, and play it just like this. I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
I would LOVE to hear shadows vocals on this track. Justin is good no doubt, but M is hard to match.
Justin does a really good job achieving Shadow's vocal style and the Nik's little melodic licks throughout the song sound so much like the stuff Syn did in the earlier albums. this is sick

@@ZepyhrLight nightmare howany years ago?

I'm in love with watching nik slowly realize he's actually a really good musician. ❤❤❤❤
Genuinely sounds like a lost single from around 2008/9. You're a special one, Nik.
This is too good. It reminds me of the absolute best period of A7X
You should do this for trivium, I bet you’d have fun trying to write a Cory solo😂
Trivium would probably just play with him cause they're bros lol
What Axl said! Not only would it be badass but Matt from Trivium comes off as someone who’d just go “hell yeah, let’s do this”
Yeah! That’s a great idea. Do some sort of ascendancy shogun court of the dragon mix. And yeah Matt would probably totally help.
I would love this so much, Trivium is fantastic🔥
