The lyrics are actually "controlling 935" as in Research Group 935, and "prayers won't help you now". This song was recorded for the Zombies map Call of the Dead with George A. Romero, Robert Englund, Michael Rooker, Danny Trejo, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. It was written and recorded in just 4 days during Nightmare touring and it was the first song with Arin Ilejay on drums. It's my 2nd favorite behind M.I.A.
@@brandonneemann7883 I mean, thematically it fits the overall story, but Treyarch wanted it specifically for Call of the Dead and didn't know how much of that script was in it until the song was written, so both are true in a sense.
@@chrismeadows4216 both are 100% correct. It definitely fits the map and also the story line. I don't know about you but I just want this new album to release😂
@@brandonneemann7883 I wish they didn't tell us they've been waiting for strings. They gave up too much info and I'm expecting either one or two songs with strings or a symphonic rock album. That's enough info for all sorts of theories.
Lol Gibby: "I'm a huge Call of Duty Gamer!" Also Gibby, completely missing that it's the Black Ops Zombies menu music: "Sounds like Halloween!" I remember hearing this song, then learning that they wrote it for Black Ops, THEN I learned how to do the easter egg in game THEENNNN I learned it on guitar...mostly. Definitely one of my fav A7X songs! Lol love you Gibby, keep it up with these killer reactions! \m/
I love this song so freaking much. It kicks you in the nuts for 7 mins of pure brilliance. I'm going to surprise some folks Roman Sky is my favorite so far.
If you didn't know Gibby, M. Shadows was actually a playable character in Black Ops 4 for the Battle Royale and Multiplayer. Mad Hatter is the song for Black Ops 4 which you reacted to.
I remember when Call of the Dead released, I went around the map to find the items to turn on the song before I even knew what the song was. I listened to it one time and I put the song on my iTunes immediately lol. It's definitely one of my favorite tracks by A7X. I put it second behind Shepherd of Fire
This song is a masterclass in integrating a video games soundtrack into your music without too much or too litte. It was so cold to just let the piano play for several measures. And, that guitar riff to match it. FIRE
This was the moment in the band where they found drummer Arin Illejay after the Rev passed away, so he took over as an introduction and what a song to do it with. The piano for this song was contrasted by the zombie music in the black ops games.
@@unknowngamer9566 I dunno, Exist and the whole The Stage album was amazing and my number 2 album from Avenged Sevenfold. Gates and Zacky both killed it on Exist with awesome riffs and guitar work, Brooks is a technical genius throughout the whole song, Johnny giving the prog riffs good bass, and M. Shadows killing it with his cleans.
The piano was the call of duty zombies menu theme, this song has alot to do with the lore of cod zombies and was a easter egg song for the Call of The Dead map in black ops 1 zombies!
I remember having this song turned on by round 20 and just running zombie kill trains by the lighthouse and point building with the AK74u and playing as Michael Rooker. I felt invincible. Same goes for other songs in the CoD Zombies Universe.
this is one of their best songs imo. the theme and tone is so on point and the instruments are incredible. shadows pops off with power in this song too
I recommend this to you about a year ago when I first found your channel 🤣. I’m glad you were able to enjoy. My favorite A7X song is “The Wicked End” just wait till you get to that one
This song was actually based on Zombies .. "As I damn the dead I'm trying to survive".. trying to stay alive... and "I'll control the world one person at a time" - which means as the virus spreads when a zombie bites or scratches a human, they turn..so.. ONE PERSON AT A TIME... interesting, eh? :)
I love your reactions to avenged sevenfold, your energy reminds of the day i first heard afterlife and the same amazement with what they are capable of music wise 😄 mad love man 🤛
The FACT you as a christian respect other faiths. Dude you're a true christian which is pretty damn rare, universal love brotha! May the consiousness that nakes up whomever is or whatever is creation bless ya man.
@@Marc-xo2rx Its an overall sound I am looking for. I am looking for the "Nightmare" and self titled album sound - and maybe a few from before that. The sound writing genius is no longer with them. But I do agree that Brooks is a great drummer. Also, don't get me wrong, there are songs I have liked since Not Ready to Die...but the overall sound is something lacking in my taste.
6:05 ok I love you dude but as a guitar player I have to make mention of this one, that wasn't (unless my ears deceive me) a whammy bar in that part, they were bending the strings, bringing the pitch up on the notes like maybe bringing an E a half step up to an F or a full step to an F#, a whammy bow brings down the pitch and from what I listen to anyways it's not often used in a higher pitched guitar solo like this. I could be wrong idk, I'm just giving my input just like anyone can theirs
They lyrics "The endless possibilities controlling every fight" I believe are incorrect. If I'm hearing it correctly it's "the endless possibilities controlling 935." Which refers to Group 935, back in 1945 in Germany they were experimenting with element 115 to create weapons and human and animal zombie experiments with this element. So I believe those are the real lyrics referring to this zombie experiment.
The piano part that you said sounds like the Halloween songs is called “Damned” by Kevin Sherwood. It’s an original song he made for Treyarch to use as the Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies mode menu music. And ever since then it’s been basically considered to be THE song for cod zombies. Since then it’s been in every cod black ops zombies mode in some version one or the other. And yes, the original track did actually sample the Halloween main theme as inspiration for the background piano. It’s my favorite song to play on the piano because I’m not very good at all but i can play it perfectly and it’s apparently a pretty confusing song to figure out for people and it sounds so good. And the sample A7X used for this song is just awesome especially what they added to it
The chorus was the call of duty blackout end theme and the opening was the drop sequence out of the plane. As well the piano was the zombies theme. Best band ever matched with an amazing game. I was in heaven lol landing at the asylum almost every game to turn on this song as the Easter egg. LOVE IT
My man, if you loved this then you reaaaally have to listen to Remenissions from A7X! It's from their second album and it's one of the heaviest songs they've ever written. I guarantee you'll enjoy it!
Those weren't whammy bar spots that's what's called a bend where you take your finger and push the string up or down, whichever. Alot of players spend years perfecting their bends and vibratos, Mine has changed alot over the years. My personal favorite I discovered onmy on is to bend the string into the next one and I'm coming back down I slide back 1 or 2 frets and vibrato the string. Just my personal favorite I use it in all of my full recordings not my RUclips stuff my youtube stuff is just ideas i hope someone will add to.
First off, WHATS UP!! AINT HAD YOU IN MY RECOMMEND LIST IN A SECOND LOL HI LOL. Second, idk what's goin on but everytime I try to make a comment on something it's like RUclips purposely freezes up scared ima hurt someones feelings gs or something. Anywho love this song, sorry took me 2 plus years but thanks for the reaction vid lol

He did it already
Also shepherd of fire
I think you'll really enjoy Coming Home by them
Yep.. Is one of their lasts masterpieces...
Fa sho
Yeah he will
Yes gotta do this one it’s definitely in my top 5
He literally just dropped the reaction two hours ago to that song!
If it hasn't been done already, Save Me is another banger. 10 minutes of absolute bliss.
I'm trippin. You did it and now i'm gonna watch it.

Sadly not everyone plays zombies, plus the game is a decade old
@@pronesniper21 Still a great game though.

Avenged Sevenfold - Coming home
Avenged Sevenfold - Gunslinger
Avenged Sevenfold - The Wicked end

You should check out The Wicked End. It's NASTY.

Bro did this man just read my comment that's amazing :)
If you think that song was long, listen and react to Exist by A7X
Exist is bad actually shit only the intro is good and the outro is good rest is shit
@@unknowngamer9566 no it isnt you dont like it doesnt mean its shit.
Or save me
@@Tyius420 no it’s bad one of their worst songs on one of their worst albums

Its been 3 years I don't know if you've listened to the song in that time but here's your reminder enjoy the paino once again
@EdgyToastie always
Dude, I hear this, and I'm instantly teleported to Call of the Dead in Black Ops 1 Zombies!!! RIP Rev and George Romero.
You gotta do a double feature. “I won’t see you tonight” parts 1 and 2. One video. You can do it. I believe in you.
Now big question, did avenged sevenfold make the zombies piano theme or did the developers have A7X implement it?
A7X used the bit with permission from the developers
Danny Perez your wrong
@@L2BMZ "You're" is spelt wrong. And what would be the right answer then? Because you obviously know.
@@Perezdoesstuff you’re wrong.. Avenged Sevenfold wrote every bit of this song and Treyarch used a clip of it for the theme in the game
@@SomeElsenNerd420-J yep tom is right
10:20 HOLD OOON BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHH
The laugh you had at 5:18 was my only way to explain avenged sevenfold
I suggest you react to Unbound (The Wild Ride) by avenged sevenfold, it's an amazing song
Everything avenged sevenfold comes out with is great
I'm excited to see you react to this banger.
Hell yes "not ready to die" is my favorite out of all black ops zombies songs they did. So glad you reacted to this !!
The memories playing Cod Zombies and doing the Easter egg to get this song on 😍
Avenged Sevenfold - Exist is one of my favorite tracks 15 minutes of epicness.
Their best song with Save me. Absolute masterpiece
@Donovan Garcia top 5 for me. Its epic too!
I remember having this song turned on by round 20 and just running zombie kill trains by the lighthouse and point building with the AK74u and playing as Michael Rooker. I felt invincible. Same goes for other songs in the CoD Zombies Universe.
this is one of their best songs imo. the theme and tone is so on point and the instruments are incredible. shadows pops off with power in this song too
The best 20th a7x song to react to :D I fully recommend you listen to St. James!
This!!!
One of the best reactors on the planet hands down!!!Keep up the good work Brother!!!!
If you loved this song from Black Ops I recommend both Carry On and 115... Both are straight bangers
My mouth dropped when I saw this come up on my recommendations. Let's go! This song is awesome!🤘🏻🔥
coming home, st james, gunslinger, and the fight are some other A7X songs I think you'd love
I’m disappointed you didn’t recognize the piano solo. I was so hyped to see your reaction to this song! Lol smh 🤦🏻♂️
The piano is the Lobby music for Call of Duty Zombies. This song is an in game Easter Egg for Call of the Dead.
Dude was just looking up this song for nostalgia but then realized my favorite song reactor just post a video about this 4 days ago
That 7:47 music you said sounds like Michael Myers is actually zombies menu music for Black Ops 1
I like it how he keeps saying forgive me when a dope ass heavy metal song starts playing
JOIN US IN THE WORLD OF METAL
While she sleeps! Sleeps society it’s a banger 🔥
THIS! Surprised nobody is really paying attention to them right now
Happy Veterans Day to all the service members on the channel and all around the US 🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are the best reaction channel by far my guy!!! I love every single video you put out!! Always an absolute banger!! Keep it up Gibby!!!

The FACT you as a christian respect other faiths.
Dude you're a true christian which is pretty damn rare, universal love brotha!
May the consiousness that nakes up whomever is or whatever is creation bless ya man.
This song was so badass when they played it live! SO MUCH FIRE!!!!!
Damned aka the cod zombies theme with the solo is the best Avenged Sevenfold solo in my opinion
This isn’t my favorite but it’s number 3 behind save me and the stage
Also you should definitely react to god damn of the stage album
When you thought he was wammybaring, he was actually just bending the string. One thing about synyster gates is he loves to bend
We did it boys he reacted!
My mans said “shoutout to America” 😂
Unless I'm mistaken, this song was written within a week!
Guys are geniuses
4 days with the new guy.
Unfortunately, not much of this same genius has shown itself since this osng.

listen to Abracadavre by Kevin Sherwood ft. Elena Siegman
This and God Hates Us are my favorite A7x tracks.
your energy is so infectious man all your vids get me so pumped

Do "This Side of Fate" by Alter Bridge. There's a twist in the song you won't see coming
okay so they used they used the piano part from world at war if i remember that’s the first call of duty to introduce the piano zombie them
A song from the stage should be awesome like god damn and Exist.
