The piano motif borrowed from Kevin Sherwood is kind of a theme around CoD Zombies. In CoD Black Ops, the theme is played at the menus and during the song "Damned" on the soundtrack. For fans of the Zombies series, this motif encapsulates it. Of all the songs and melodies, this one is the most widely regarded and recognized. I see it as a direct reference to the series and Kevin Sherwood, as M Shadows (A7X Vocalist) is a huge fan of the series as well and made an appearance as a playable character in Black Ops 4. Edit: They also wrote music for other games in the series for a total of 6. Mostly for the Zombies mode. I definitely recommend those songs as well since you seemed to like this one.
@@thewindmillfullovcorpsesAnd to add to his comment they have multiple versions of The Damned for different games. They have one called Damned AE for Black ops 2 and its like a remix of the original to capture the difference in story from the last game. There's other versions of it but the first two really show thw difference and evolution of the theme.
One of the best songs on the soundtrack and one of their best songs in general! The way they incorporated the piano section into the guitar solo is awesome and these are some of Matt's best vocals.
The addition of "Damned" in the A7X track was more of an ode to the original zombies and KSherwood. It was also for the fans to know that they poured their heart into the track to stay true to the theme, grittiness, and agony of the zombies story. Beautifully crafted song.
@@28dirtj they have bin talking about if for a while now they say maybe this year idk exactly when but I know they still working on some of it cause of COVID
They’re still easily one of the biggest metal bands in the business. They get too much hate from metal gatekeepers but they’re still super popular tho they just been out of the public eye for years now for the most part, when their new album drops this year a bunch more people will be talking about them again. They’re one of the few metal/heavy metal bands to have multiple #1 records in the last 15-20yrs. They also have 5 platinum albums which is not common at all in the modern age for metal bands.
Got hit with some call of duty nostalgia along with listening to A7X on a daily basis, and this is where the path took me. Great video. ❤ You guys are great and funny together!
One of my top 5 A7x songs! Here yet again to bug you guys about The Prophet's Beckoning from Shadow of Intent. After catching them live in Sweden last month I can't get this song off my mind :) it's the best on Reclaimer for me.
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses Damn I missed your reply, sorry for asking twice. So do you know every single SoI song by now then? I know you asked like a year ago for a similar band but I haven't found one still, have you?
There's still a chunk of Reclaimer we haven't heard but we know everything else they put out. And tbh I don't think there's another band like SoI. That's why they're so brilliant. But closest I can get to them is Lorna Shore and probably She Must Burn. Epic symphonic deathcore bands! /Andrei
I liked this a lot. First I thought it would be like timetravel back to the 90s powermetal but then the vocals changed to metalcore screams and the music followed. 👍
This one remains in the top for me in terms of zombie songs. It works so unbelievable well in the game and the map it is associated with. And yeah as it’s been said here in the comments, that piano bit is Kev’s theme for the zombies mode and with A7X being zombies fans it had to have just been a wonderful moment where they got to put their twist on the zombies theme they love while Kev had his own theme played by a band that huge.
Avenged Sevenfold comes from the Bible, specifically in Genesis chapter 4, with Cain and Abel. They also have a song called Chapter Four where they told that story.
Avenged Sevenfold, one of bro Joey's favorite bands. 💜💜💜 I understood that you were talking about beer, skulls and boobs, but I preferred not to activate the subtitles in French... Hey "from Call of Duty" is excellent. I detect a double headbang. Great reaction, thanks guys. Andrei, your comment on the piano similarity is very relevant, what an ear you have bro.
This sounds like the type of song that plays when you fight body dysmorphia and take the power back. And it also sounds like the Type of song that would sum up working hard for your dream body constantly and never giving up. WHICH IS THE PERFECT THEME FOR ME CAUSE I WANT RHEA RIPLEY'S BODY AND I WON'T STOP TILL I GET IT!!! I WILL BE LIKE THE NIGHTMAAAARE
Sevenfold means 7 times as many. Its a religous reference, as if you combined these 7 spirits, the Spirit of the Lord, and the Spirits of wisdom, of understanding, of counsel, of might, of knowledge and of fear of the LORD, that when these 7 spirits come together, the "Perfect God" would be formed, so i believe the name is supposed to mean "Avenging the thing that once was". All 7 spirits still exist, but they aren't Sevenfold...7x1=7.
Avenged sevenfold doing a COD song??? Ok now am intrigued! Hearing this, this is definitely a A7X song just with the guitar sounds! Gotta say though, it’s not really COD to me🤣 it’s just another song from A7X. Song’s not bad, but I wouldn’t put it on my playlist.. awesome review as always guys!🤘
To be fair, yeah it sounds like them, not like Kevin Sherwood, so I get where you're coming from, and I like his stuff better too. But it was in the games and uses themes from Kevin's songs so makes sense why! /Andrei
Whenever a rock/metal song starts out with church organs playing you already know it's going to go hard for no reason
Pretentiousness followed by bombardment! Big yay!

This song is one of their masterpieces without doubt
A7X is underrated tbh. I feel not enough people know about them as I would've expected
When that new album drops it’s game over 😂
@@rafaelgonzalez7230 they're dropping a new one? When? I never heard anything from them about a new album since covid started
@@28dirtj they have bin talking about if for a while now they say maybe this year idk exactly when but I know they still working on some of it cause of COVID

I wouldn't necessarily say underrated but rather overhated. Kind of like Metallica.

Bro I love shadow of intent, legit my favorite band
9:34 ❤ it
let’s gooo!!!! Now time to react to Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold
love you guys' reactions, also thanks for introducing me to the fantastic band called haken!
Our pleasure! Haken is one of our favourites. Really happy to know you dig it! /Andrei
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses yeah they rock! even a friend of mine, whos not into metal likes them, they definately have something special about them
I liked this a lot. First I thought it would be like timetravel back to the 90s powermetal but then the vocals changed to metalcore screams and the music followed. 👍
glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for all the views and comments, we really appreciate it! / george
This song is my favorite

It sounds like an awesome way they collaborated based on this theme. And the song that came out is killer. /Andrei
Lol I love the head banging but the best part of avenged is they know how to make you feel what they say
Thanks a ton!
Yes about time!
more Avenged Sevenfold live pls
Lets go, epic song. I recommend chronic slaughter and hell from slaughter to prevail. Its earlier STP but still heavy and scary 😂😂😂
The Piano part is the Zombies main menu song which is also made by Kevin. I don't think they were really trying to steal.
I could tell. We were joking around. It makes sense given that the song is a story from the same universe. /Andrei
Avenged Sevenfold comes from the Bible, specifically in Genesis chapter 4, with Cain and Abel. They also have a song called Chapter Four where they told that story.
They never struck me as biblical! /Andrei
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses they aren't a Christian band or anything. They're one of those bands that have everything for everyone, such as Dear God.
Avenged Sevenfold, one of bro Joey's favorite bands. 💜💜💜

I didn't know it's one of Joey's favourite bands! That's so cool to know. Thank you for watching! I'm glad you liked it. /Andrei
As a fellow Romanian, nice
nice indeed! Merci fain!
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses Cu placinta!
Welp, now that you guys have done this one, time for mad hatter by a7x; another cod zombies song
Synyster Gates my guitar Hero 🤘
This song got some 🥜
This sounds like the type of song that plays when you fight body dysmorphia and take the power back. And it also sounds like the Type of song that would sum up working hard for your dream body constantly and never giving up.

It does sound like a good workout song. Good luck getting ripped LOL! /Andrei
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses thanks!!! Getting better every day!!!

You should react to shepherd of fire next by avenge sevenfold, it's another song of there's that features in call of duty zombies it's great
I'm surprised this is on Call Of Duty
Avenged sevenfold doing a COD song??? Ok now am intrigued!
Hearing this, this is definitely a A7X song just with the guitar sounds!
Gotta say though, it’s not really COD to me🤣 it’s just another song from A7X.
Song’s not bad, but I wouldn’t put it on my playlist..
awesome review as always guys!🤘
To be fair, yeah it sounds like them, not like Kevin Sherwood, so I get where you're coming from, and I like his stuff better too. But it was in the games and uses themes from Kevin's songs so makes sense why! /Andrei
Whoever is on the right . . . You look like my best friend. Killled himself.
Terribly sorry to hear that! Cherish the memory! / George

Plz react to Carrion
