- We’re thrilled to announce our new album, Life Is But A Dream… available June 2, 2023. Watch our official stop-motion video for “Nobody” - directed by Chris Hopewell. Stop motion is a handmade labor of love, often taking 90 minutes just to capture only 2 seconds of footage. "Nobody" is streaming everywhere now: a7x.lnk.to/nobody
The new album was written and recorded over the span of four years, and inspired by the writing and philosophy of Albert Camus. Our good friend and brilliant artist, Wes Lang, encapsulated our theme of existentialism through visual art for the album packaging. Pre-order now: a7x.lnk.to/libad.

#AvengedSevenfold #Nobody #LifeIsButADream - Hudba
This song is a slow gradual thing, is slowly slowly grows on you, then you realise its a master piece..
realest shit i have ever read
So true, the solo is an absolute smoker too. I remember listening through the a7x album the stage the first time is being like that was good, but nothing great. After listening through a couple more times I realized how incredibly good the album was. This band kind of does that, for me at least
👏👏👏
Exactly. I wasn't sure at first. But now i literally dream about the song.

it's so crazy to think about how much life has changed since the last a7x album
You could say it set "The Stage"... aight, I'll see myself out.
i agree very much i just listen too the song and its pure art i love it
@@ObviouslyKieran good one!
Yea because trump was president, everything was good
That's what I was thinking too. Their last album I was in a very different life situation. Miss those days.
That solo at the end is incredible
Absolutely!
I listened to this the first time by accident. The next 100 times on purpose. So great.
Every time I hear that solo I just think about the title of the song. Nobody will ever get to his level because he's just on his own level entirely. He ascended in this one. What a legend.
Everybody has such a boner for Nuno's Rise solo, and while it's great, I feel like this one is way better and should be talked about more. Its the best thing Syn has done since the end of Second Heartbeat, and possibly ever
@williamtinsley9416 agreed 💯, there's not much really going on in NBs solo.
M. Shadow's grimey voice with the industrial riff, and the melancholic, dreary tone really sells this IMO...
Honestly, I have been trying to put the feeling this song gives me into words. That's a good way to put it. That riff is almost like a siren, and I get, like an impending doomsday feeling from it.
It's very apocalyptic sounding, is what I guess I'm trying to say.
I can’t believe I’ve been jamming a7x since 9th grade and now I’m 34 and my daughter loves them! So crazy how life passes by. Thank you a7x for everything 🙌
Same!!❤
I'm 36 now n children loves the vibes
I am also 34, and both my kids love Avenged 🥲🥲🥲
@@adichandra6671 Same
I feel like we all grew up with them somewhere in the background of our lives or even in front at concerts and stuff but they’ve been there. Drop your age and when you started listening to a7x 👇 🤘🖤
Man that ending solo sequence was a thing of beauty 🤘🏻
Or boredom
@@kingsrevenge9234 go to art school/ music school
Typical a7x fashion, love it
Sounded like shit and ended like a bad movie with no ending.
@@Marta1Buck yeah, don’t do that unless you want to start your adult life with a useless degree and debt.
This is one of those rare and unique songs that transcends any musical genre. Not made to be catchy or to pander any metal fan base.. but to be deeply remembered and discussed for decades to come, as a genuine work of art.
I personally think this song is quiet catchy.
@@umood-soundscapes after first few listens?
Ride in the shadows, wondering beyond the frame
Float like a feather through space and time outside a dream
Pirouette with divinity in a dance we've shared before
Someone dissolution
This is "I am all" as "I am none"
Here we fly so high, no high, no coming down
Shedding weight as I'm coming undone
All that's left converging as one
I'm the sun
I'm the sun, yeah
I'm the God
I'm awake
I'm the one in everything
I'm alive
I'm the dead
I'm a man without a head
I walk with death in final exhalation
(I'm the wake) and come apart through violent separation
(I'm the one in everything) a thousand floors ascend into the ether
A lunatic enchanted by the reaper
(I'm alive) and down below I leave a stranger laying
(I'm the dead) lifeless as the light begins to shatter the skies
(I'm a man without a head) I ascend and leave behind the "used to be"
And tear the fabric worn to cover my eyes (and see)
(I see, I see) nobody
Breath in the silence
Ebb and flow among the waves
Blur on the spectrum in like a dark an equal face
All I ever was, has been and always will be
Here I am as I'm starting again
Beyond death and borne on the wind
I'm the sun
I'm the sun, yeah
I'm the God
I'm awake
I'm the one in everything
I'm alive
I'm the dead
I'm a man without a head
A crack in the darkness
A tear in the sky
(I'm the one in everything) and there the moment when we find ourselves
And all we occupy
Return to the boundless
Immerse in the free
Letting go as you lose your name
And all you've known to be

Oh wow. I'm not usually a music video kinda guy but when I saw this was stop motion animated I had to watch it. The amount of love and care that requires is astonishing.
;)
What's your opinion on the little piece of heaven mv ?
Not to mention the song is literally bad as fuck 😂
@@jan6335 best from a7x in a decade.
@@jan6335 great song. Not my favorite by them tho. That would probably go to victim, or maybe danger line. Mostly because the personal connection I have with both of those songs
My first impression was that this song is kind of weird and didn't really hit like I expected, but after listening a few more times I'm into it. The video is super cool, the melody is great and the solo is so good.
I just miss the wicked crazy and difficult drumming and riffs from the old days. If it's easy enough for me to play as a beginner drummer, it's a turn off. The guitar solo was good, however some drum fills would really add to the song. I'm talking City of Evil (or even Nightmare) drumming days. Getting old must really mess up the knees or something.
the solo is syns craziest solo ever in my opinion and people used to call him washed lol 💀
@@amber619pop i was thinking that during a lot of the drum parts like man the rev would’ve killed that section
I'm 65 years old never listen to this band but this is the best song I've ever heard thank you sevenfold
Nice. Rock on. Ax7 is damn good.
you should check out all of their stuff tbh
Omg, if you like this you have no idea how amazing their earlier stuff is...like incomparable!!
i really love to hear that. welcom from a7x fans
Man would I hate to be you
This baby is 1 year old!! 🤘🤘
Time flies still love it I think the live version is even better Thay put Evan more effort into the song.
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Ride in the shadows wandering beyond the frame
Float like a feather through space and time outside a dream
Pirouette with divinity in a dance we've shared before
"Someone dissolution"
This is "I am all" as "I am none"
Here we fly so high, no, I, no coming down
Shedding weight as I'm coming undone

[Chorus]
I'm a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything
I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head
[Verse 2]
I walk with death in final exhalation
And come apart through violent separation
A thousand floors ascend into the ether
A lunatic enchanted by the reaper
And down below I leave a stranger laying lifeless as the light begins to shatter the skies
I ascend and leave behind the "used to be"
And tear the fabric worn to cover my eyes and see
I see
[Refrain]
Nobody
[Verse 3]
Breathe in the silence, ebb and flow among the waves
Blur on the spectrum in light come dark in equal phase
All I ever was, has been and always will be
Here I end as I started again beyond death and borne on the wind
I am the sun
I am the sun
[Chorus]
I'm a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything
I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head
[Post-Chorus]
A crack in the darkness
A tear in the sky
A narrow moment when we find ourselves
And all we occupy
Return to the boundless

Letting go as you lose your name
And all you’ve known to be

THANK YOOOUU
Thank you, you're the first person to have the full lyrics!
That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
Credit goes to A7X for uploading the official lyrics to Genius super fast! Glad I could copy paste them over though :DD
Thanks 👍😎👨🎤
Is there no one talking about that solo?! Syn is an absolute monster, his playing gets better with every new release! Crazy
And it keeps going! 3x as long as I expected.
What an amazing piece of music
Agreed. The solo is enchanting.
I said it in another video but out of Avenged Sevenfold entire catalog I believe this is hands down his best solo yet
City of evil had so many sick riffs on it
Yeah dude slays most of the heavier metal bands.
I’m about to be 30 and I got to see these guys back in 2011. I’ve been listening to them longer than that. Thanks for getting me through life. Y’all rock!
I'd say there more metal but yea
I saw them with metallica in 2017, been praying I can get a day off in March to see them again
2011 is when I became a fan, I was 9 years old at the time
When I first heard this song I was thinking they got old and what the heck happened to the vocals. But the song grows on you, and obviously has a message in it. Older A7x had this tormented soul ptsd vibe, now is speaks to a bigger picture/deeper perspective on life.
Great guitar, killer drums, hypnotic vocals. Lives change, people evolve emotionally and spiritually so does Avenged, great work gentlemen.
You gotta remember also with the vocals....M is in his 40s and been thrashing his voice for 25 years....and had blood blisters on vocal chords, vocal chord surgery if I'm not mistaken. So it's not really fair to expect the dude to sound like he did in 2007...this album kicks ass!
It's not all the new songs though, his voice is fine it's just how he chose to sing this one
I heard this the first time today. A refreshing listen. Enough to seek out what piped out through the speakers in the way home. That’s something! Praise God. Rock on
Beautiful comment my friend. Sending love ❤
The new generation has risen to appreciate the A7X? I thought only us older generation held on to this belief in this band after Jimmy 'Rev' Sullivan departure 🤘loads of good things this band has been 🫡

Blessed are those who post song lyrics, thanks friend!
@@DatOneRadDad True heros.
Thank you! One little issue with A7X is it's hard to understand what they're saying, especially when english isn't your first language though it's fine with other bands when I hear the words clearly. I figured out a few of those lyrics but only now I properly understand it all.
@@DatOneRadDad I got you frens🤘
I interpreted this video as a PSA on men's depression. We walk, building this world, there is a ton of chaos, where is our peace? We continue to walk, searching for meaning, and all we see is death and more destruction. Excited, we get a chance for some peace, finally.....As we are observing our choices, seemingly in our oasis, we realize that it is all fake and has been a lie. Frustrated we are to learn that this peace has not been granted, we destroy all of the fakeness in our lives. As we fall into the void thinking of what could have been, it's easier to feel like you would just be better off gone. Keep your heads high men, don't ever give up, but be true to yourselves without sacrificing your integrity and value!
what are you talking about its about the skeleton that likes war
@miles41 careful the theme is if we are being sold someone else's dream then why conform. Your acting like a sheeple, ya just don't get it.
After he gets off the grim reaper's carriage he turns over rocks and flowers finding UPC codes under them.
I think the sticky note at the very end (right before he returns to his body) says "Adiell" ornament of God.
@@rn780 It more likely says "Adieu" (French for Goodbye) as the second to last song on the album Death mentions leaving a farewell letter on the fireplace and the chronology is somewhere during the final lines of Game Over as the POV character says "Adieu" before doing a thing CZcams probably won't let me mention in a comment.
I have a feeling while this video does mostly go with the song, I think a lot of the stuff here references different places from all over the album
@@itspunger2033 thank you, I'm enjoying some Friday night beers and will check it out.
I wear my headphones at work so rarely watch the videos with my phone in my pocket.
My favorite two are Buried Alive and The Stage.
I was on my way to work listening to this, and suddenly I had this big will to cry. Life is but a nightmare
On my 4th or 5th listen and I’m really digging it now. So glad to see they’re still pushing the boundaries for what their sound is. It sounds fresh and new yet completely Avenged Sevenfold. Bring on the album!
me too i had mixed feelings at first
I'm glad you are showing off the praise I think its a good song too. The string section is so addictive and haunting like something big is coming
Same here! I was a bit happy since some songs which I never liked or hated on the first listen grew out to be my personal favorites... So, I gave the song what it deserves. many listens. now I'm caught up in the loop of it.. This song is fire! Life is but a dream... indeed!
Infinite kudos to Brooks for always keeping Jimmy’s presence in songs. I will never get tired of hearing the ‘double ride thing’ 🙏🏼
Ding duh dings ❤ I also love how EVERYONE calls it "the double ride thing" from fans , guitar players other drummer's etc. I've never heard it be referred to as anything except ding da dings or double ride thing haha
@@TPG_Plagues i believe Jimmy himself called it the "double ride thing" from a lack of better words as he's never heard anyone else do it before him.
@@cooliusmaximus5802 Gene Hoglan is one of the few, maybe even Jason Bittner.
Where was the double ride in the song. Not sure if I'm stupid but on my 5th listen I feel I've missed jt
@MuttonTinTin it's not fast but he's definitely doing a beat that he's alternating between hitting a ride on his left with his left hand and one on his right with his right hand while using the opposite hand to hit the snare every other time.
Dude, Afterlife has been my favorite A7x song, actually, it has been my favorite song of all time, of all bands, of all genres, for YEARS...This song, just took that spot. This is one of the greatest songs of ALL TIME IMO. This is legit a musical masterpiece. All the sounds coming together produce an amazing result.
Me 3 months ago: Hmm. OK
Me 2 months ago: I guess it's kinda cool?
Me 1 month ago: (find myself humming it regularly)
Me now: It's a gd masterpiece!
First time I heard it knew this was the one ❤️💛💚👊🏾
Love the entire album which truly gets better and better ever single day fo sho….
So fckn true!
Experiencing this right now
so true....
Same progression as The Stage. Remember when people said it was bad when it first came out? Now everyone talks about it like it resurrected their mother.
Who else randomly hums that riff throughout the day, or is it just me.. so simple yet so fkn awesome!
I was just literally thinking the same thing, for the second time today after I caught myself humming it on the elevator this morning.
It's kinda hard to hum 😂😂 it has an unusual timbre
Every time 😂
Got fat ass new speaker and a couple of subs at work, the vibration while using ear pro with the speaker set to 110 volume shakes the clipboards on the tables and feels like someone was to touch you when the bass hits hard for this song. Welding while it's playing just makes you feel like a super hero. Good times and often find myself humming the audio even when it isn't playing 😂.
Any lead guitar players here who hear that arpeggio throughout the day?
This is nuts. The evolution this band has naturally gone through over its career is one of the most dramatic and exciting in rock music history. They've literally checked all the boxes and continue to make up new ones as they go. I've been listening to The Stage (and the rest of the catalog, of course) at least a few times per week for the last several years...while I never tire of it I CANNOT WAIT to have a whole new album to learn every nook and cranny of.
fully agree! was thinking the other day how different the very first stuff is but i still love it all. so creative and incredible 🖤
Same as a guitar player who's biggest influence is Zachy and Syn its taken me all over the place as a player and especially learning the theory behind it.
@David Richburg ZV is one of the most underrated musicians on the planet. Syn is inhuman but without Zachy this band doesn't work. After hearing the covers where he did lead vocals I'd be very interested in hearing him do a solo thing (honestly the gap from The Stage until now was so long I thought for certain there'd be a project or 2 from some of them).
this song is meh , strings and ending solo are okay
This isn’t evolution. It’s devolution. Listen to Waking the Fallen then listen to this. They’ve completely fallen off lmao
This song creeps up on you. There's a lot of subtle brilliance.
I don't understand how that guy got even better at guitar. Technically and composition wise this solo is unbelievable man
Good God they are finally back. The solo gave me goosebumps. Can't wait to hear it live
I basically just commented the same thing. Made the hairs stand up lol.
They will never perform this live
@@ADS_GL0WY what makes you say that? I wouldn't be surprised if they open with it like they did the stage
Dude this song was fire like damn. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏼
@@kingsrevenge9234 NO 🔥🔥🔥
I love how it keeps the stages sound but adds onto it. These guys rock. Never be afraid to try something new in music, and these guys know it
I love progressive a7x more. Since waking the fallen
I adore the band. The music. Their legacy. From the early 2000’s to being a young lad playing Black Ops Zombies to being a young man. It’s a sensational feeling, to feel you know their music so well. As if watching a friend grow better and greater.
Yes ❤
Real (I had no idea A7X had made carry on and shepherd of fire until I heard Mad Hatter and had to check the band out since)
The solo starting at 4:43 is just phenominal I absolutely love it. Know what I am doing today. Learning that.
The guitar solo with the bass in the background is mindblowing. This song has my #1 Guitar solo so far.
@@niklausmeissner8522 Absolutely. It hits me hard everytime. When I first heard it, it gave me crazy goose bumps.
A new era for Avenged Sevenfold begins. 🫡🔥
The last era
@rock feed. Hell yeah brutha
@@X66966 it’s not perfect for every situation but your current lack of patience has nothing to do with its quality.
@@ZephyrusBlue It's either good or it's not. And it's NOT good.
@@DerrickRG this isn’t math, it’s art. There’s objective and subjective qualities to be discussed. Surely there’s objective good within this piece, tons I’m sure, but y’all say it’s bad with a very large stroke of subjectivity.
The Atlanta show in Sept was one of my favorite memories of all my 50 years. You gave me hope and made me feel alive for the first time in a decade.
Their ability to constantly evolve their sounds is insane, every new project is like the next level of epic soundwaves. Stay motivated and keep this beautiful music coming boys!
I never expected Rainbow meets Yeezus
Agree 100%. A7X and Linkin Park had the best inspirations in music. So versatile and constant in quality.
Those drums... god its like rev came back
He was never gone
All ways here beyond the grave 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
And you can hear exactly where his backup vocals would have been, too
I love the bold direction they took with this album. Their sound has totally evolved and they are even better today.
Synester Gates is one of the most underrated guitarists of the 2000s to now. He has one of a kind greatness. Deserves way more recognition that he gets.
Love Syn, but he's definitely not underrated. He was literally ranked one of the best rock guitarists last year. But I get what you mean lol
@@kjackson1448I agree with you, he's amazing though love synester.
@@kjackson1448 In the hard-core music scene he gets recognition but Syn transcends genres. He inspired a whole generation of guitarists like myself. He deserves mainstream recognition is more what I was meaning I guess.
@@majinmatt9481 Agreed, I don't hear about him enough. He's the reason I picked up a guitar 10 years ago.
@@thearmeniangamer3399 yeah me too. I picked Up drumm BC of The Rev(R.I.P)🖤🤘🏿
You can really hear the change in Matt's voice. It sounds more weathered. Age catches up with us all but the band's service to the fans has always been exceptional over the years.
Edit:
Perhaps I should have phrased my sentiments more elaborately. The time was 3am where I am.
I love A7X. Always have, always will. I'm not bashing Matt's vocals. I'm simply making an observation. There's not a vocalist on Earth that will have the same singing voice after 20 years of singing. Listen to any track from City of Evil and then listen to any track from The Stage. Same singer, years apart, and you can hear it. That's all I'm saying. I appreciate the passionate dialogue, though. Keep it going.
I think you should wait for the rest of the album before you say something like that It could be intentional
Very sad to hear his voice now, but I still love this band
@@ivh50 I agree this guy in the city of evil era to nightmare was absolutely a powerhouse
Didn't he had like a surgery or something and he eventually need to relearn singing kinda
@@moveond4500 I believe he had 2 vocal surgeries
I learned about these guys from CoD Zombies back in 2013 and i have been in love ever since and they just make banger after banger. All the love for my foavorite band of all time. Long live A7X
Shepard of Fire, Carry On, and Not Ready To Die 🤘🏽🎸
Bro me too! Call Of The Dead will forever be iconic for me
And i learned about them from my friend in 2015 aftee listening to so far away
Synyster Gates is probably one of the best guitarists in existence at this time and it shows in this song. I saw A7X live at Sonic Temple and they blew me away with this song, Syn was shredding up there and it was historical to witness live.
absolutely not the best
Not even top 25 currently playing, he’s good but to say he’s the best is just stupid
Saw em this tour from Canada. Syn went absolutely nuts on buried alive, like for several minutes after the song "ended" bro just kept shredding. Even m.shaddows was like, wow yall are lucky to hear syn shred like that
@@castellanos-us7kx Alex lifeson, Adam Jones, Brendon small, Matt heafy, Dave mustaine
@@MrMisterDerp Imho in terms of pure technical ability, Syn clears all of them.
like that they're exploring new things as their career goes on. I dig the Prog vibe they've got going since the last album. It shows they've grown as musicians. Not that they weren't already ridiculously talented to begin with. Bravo boys! Bravo!! 👏 👏
I love that they decided to continue doing prog after their last album. It adds a very interesting sound.
@donramonoficial5671 I think Brooks had brought that out and that's probably why they hired him.
@@kingsrevenge9234 Jesus will provide.
Just WOW! Saw these dudes at Warped in 2003. Now 20 years later I have my teen son rushing in to share this release with me. The imagery with this is amazing! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album💀🦇
Same. Though I'll add that, I prefer the tracks from the 03 Era and he prefers their recent stuff.
Didn’t think I’d be jammin to A7X in 2023. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Wasn’t sure how I felt about it at first but after a few listens I love it. The lyrics sound like they went and did a bunch of psychedelics and blasted back through all of space and time
The chorus playing back over itself is what does it.
I got that trippy Sweet Leafy vibe but this is way more refined with a beginning middle and end. M Shadows' vocals are amazing
its so weird the people who cant fathom someone creating interesting sounding music without being high
@@Hardveur7 syn admitid in an interview he does psychedelics for some songs so this was probably it lmfaooo
@@Hardveur7 who said the composer was high? Not what was meant
Avenged always amazes me with their level of creativity.
Can we argue that this is one of Syn's best solo's? 😮
that outro solo. gawd.
that solo is up there with Syn's best and that is an absolute feat in itself. So inspiring to see him keep pushing his boundaries in his playing every damn album, can't wait for the rest what an inspiration and amazing band!!!
Syn's such an awesome guitarist. I rank him high on my list. He inspires me and puts me to shame at the same time😄
and here I was thinking that nothing could top afterlife
@@orangejews150 M.I.A. is the best solo
Man, I am having the rough year. I started crying when I heard this, I just can't wait for the new album! Thanks to Avenged Sevenfold for making my year a bit better, I love you! 💚
Its only march my friend, it will get better. Hold on and take one day at a time and when it gets too tough then take one meal at a time. just keep crawling ahead and it will get better before you know it.
We wish you all the best!!!! :)
czcams.com/video/6ew78muBN-Q/video.html
I feel you I’m sitting in my work truck tearing up because I’m so happy. Has the same sound over the years too!
Same here!! I wAsnt expecting this 🖤
Just saw them live in Cleveland. This song is insane!
Every time I hear an a7x song, I think "this sounds fire, I wonder what its actually about" then I watch the music video and its depressing and fucked up as hell. 22 years and they're still making masterpieces
I like to think that this song takes place directly after Exist. The guitar and synth work is very similar too! The idea of ascending to the astral plain only to discover "nobody" is just a very haunting and existential thought.
Roll on June 2023 🤘
Interesting idea, since Nobody is the 3rd track on LIBAD so I imagine they could tie it in even more with Game Over and Mattel.
I will always love Avenged Sevenfold.
i always have as well and always will
Same man! From their metalcore days on Sounding the seventh trumpet until this they are awesome❤
I love this band
@@Revert1989 same👍
Me too
This guitar solo gives me life 🖤 such an incredible album
Make no bones about it!
😂 cool comment
The more I listen to this song, the better and better I find it! Thank you A7X for not stagnating and looking for evolution album after album! Cheers!
A MILLION VIEWS IN DAY 1, so proud of you dudes!! Can't wait for the album!!!
One word "MASTERPIECE"!
hated this song at first now i love it
Teared up with the “we love you” I’m so so glad you guys are back and you’re damn right I’m pre ordering the album
I thought it was a good bye and almost cried.
SAME
@@apocalyptic_zombie1989 I was trying not to think that lol 😥
The more and more you listen to it the better and better it gets
It shouldn't be that hard and we all know it. We can say it out loud, y'know? They strayed a little too far from the genre of rock & metal on this one. It's a little too industrial sounding. What was wrong with just walking up on stage, plugging directly it into the Marshall double stack, and riding the lightening for a couple hours?
@@Britton_Thompson because music has to progress. i guarantee you it’d get stale if they made the same music over and over. heard the new Metallica for example? 😭
@@sabe3415 Lux Aeterna from The new Metallica is dope tho
@@sabe3415 I can definitely agree to this. Album hasn’t been released yet, so it’s still too early to tell if the experimenting they seem to be doing is going to pay off or not, but it’s certainly different to what the Stage was.
@@sabe3415 That's a stupid fucking comparison and clearly shows you don't follow anything with Metallica.
The start reminds me of back in black by ac/dc and then that cool unique sound and cool beat kicks in
Thank you. That is all. Just thank you.
A7X's ability to evolve is incredible, they never repeat themselves, they never make a 2.0 of any record, and that's impressive, a unique band, foREVer 💎
what the fuck you mean, this literally sounds exactly like The Stage. This literally is 2.0
@@frtpieru L Take on that...maybe some stage inspiration.....but you might as well come out and say A7X is a Metallica ripoff....that would sound more intelligent than the crap you just said.
Was thinking The Stage 2.0 through the whole Track 😅
(Not in a bad way)
@@josephmcdaniel4870 bro what
@@josephmcdaniel4870 have you listened to any of their more obscure stuff? This is just a bad take and I like both bands
Waiting for Avenged sevenfold to release a new song is like the day before christmas! I love you guys!
We love you to
Gonna have to keep waiting then because idk what that was but it wasn't a song lol.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 full album releases June 2nd if you didn't hear
@@thIDthIRreenactor I'm very, very worried. The Stage was bad IMO, the only passable song was the title track, the rest was like a bad mushroom trip. The best thing they've released in recent years is the B side Set Me Free, THAT'S the A7X sound that I fell in love with in the first place! I had to go listen to that as a pallet cleanser after this song(?). Idk, the bands just dead to me now unless I'm proven wrong.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 Well they're not just gonna make the same music forever that'd be boring. For me The Stage had a maturity and sense of composition their other albums didn't quite reach, and this single is genre-bending with a palpable atmosphere. The old music is still there it didn't go away lol
Badass intro and all! I only caught the last word of this song on the radio and looked it up on CZcams. Found it quickly! My new favorite song of 2023!
This song grows spectacularly on you the more you listen and pay attention to it. Master-effin-piece!
A7X's music never lets me down, and the synster solos are always satisfying 🔥❤
He has always been a talented player, but this is a huge improvement from his prior work. It's pretty clear that he has been putting in the hours - technically, mechanically, musically, texturally, this is maybe his best work all-around, and a fantastic introduction to his current playing. I applaud the work.
@@aaronwallace8098 I don't agree mate. I really enjoyed the solo but it doesn't have much creativity in it. He has always been able to play such sweep picking licks before and this solos are nowhere near the ones in "the stage" for example. That song has like 5 different solos at least on the same level with this one's
@@alexstarovereem what new star wars? The last one they did was revenge of the sith and that was quite a long time ago
@@alexstarovereem Like "Alex Hardy" is a more believable name? Lol eff ya.
@@alexstarovereemhahahahaha calm down a lot, It might be over for you, but not for everyone, u nostalfag
I gotta say, i wasnt big on this one at first, but after listening to it a few times it really grows on you. I really love the atmosphere the song has. Really fits the video well
I felt the same about the album The Stage. I wasnt feeling it at first but it grew on me
I felt like his voice and overall put together is just lost
I'm digging this atmospheric, almost haze-psychy metal type thing they're doing as of late.
@@shadowwtrigger760yeah his voice sounds a bit strange but I’m almost certain that they’re doing it on purpose.
@@isaiasrijos7375 well I mean, he DID have surgery on his vocal chords so that might be why he sounds a little different
I never really digged this song when it first came out but after many listens, its definitely grown on me.
I can’t believe it has been 1 year already. All this hype that was created in 7 years…it was worth it
I won't lie, this video alone is a lot yo take in. The band touched on quite a few serious and troubling societal themes in the stage album, but bow they are taking it 10 steps further and really allowing their art to take its own shape. I love their earlier crazy albums, I love those vibes, but I cannot wait to dive into this new world with A7X🤘🤘
Makes me happy to see that there's still people like you and me out there
I feel like the Stage was about science and mankind, I'm "afraid" this one will be about death and be more philosophical, like the meaning of life, what is our purpose and such. It's gonna hit us hard with feelings, self-reflection and maybe like The Stage did for me, a teensy bit of self-hatred.
First time listening I couldn't even process everything correctly, but by the second time, that beautiful chorus just fucking hit me. What a crazy ass composition. Avenged is really stepping it the fuck up. never heard anything like this. I have so much faith in you, A7X, I know you guys put all your hearts and minds into these, and it shows. I cant wait to hear the whole thing. Cheers from Brazil
Hey Bro, don't forget to imagine watching they playing this live!
This is the third time that keep waiting for song of new album, HTTK and The stage I was here. And I can say that again i'm surprised!!! Love it, as always!
I'm so proud that I knew them a long time ago and have the oportunitty to keep them in my life.
Yeah first time I heard it I was barely awake. I had woken up a minute before the premiere 😂
I was here for HTTK and Stage too. Been listening since I was a little kid and this shit blew my mind. It was so so so so perfect and the amount of respect I have for shadows for making this masterpiece while sounding relatively fried is just unbelievable.
Same. A7X forever
At the first time i hate this song but now listen again and again love it ❤
I'm obsessed with this fucking song
This is why I started listening to this band 20 years ago, knowing they had it in them to do stuff like this. I can’t wait to hear the rest of this album and hope it’s as crazy/proggy as this!!!
It's good to see this band getting back to writing songs.
After 7 years dude...
Yeahh finally
This really induces deep thinking. I love the way M. Shadows and everyone else in the band thinks. I’ve listened to interviews and I really like the way they think. I have done some major self reflection on a lot of the topics discussed and even changed my perspective!!!
This song is incredible. I'm new to these guys. Give me an album of theirs to listen to.
I would start with either city of evil, self titled, hail to the king, or nightmare to get started, then after that do their other albums
This feels like we are on "the stage" timeline, and we are six years into the future of where the last album ended. I can feel energy from songs like paradigm, angels, higher, and sunny disposition in this new and amazing single! The energy is beautiful and moving. I've learned of new philosophical ideals, and the journey A7X has been on has been unbound (wild ride). I can't wait for my first A7X show! I have been listening to you guys since 2010, and I will never stop.
it feels more like their self titled album too, like a mix of their roots and a new style it hits so hard
It’s decent. Stage is decent. Hope the rest of the album is better than this. They’ve done this. This is the stage Pt 2 so far.
Same 2010 here as well
@@joee1213 yeah I didn't really like it on my first listen but hopefully it will grow on me
Incredible review you have written! Keep on using your talent.
-H from America.
Ride in the shadows wandering beyond the frame
Float like a feather through space and time outside a dream
Pirouette with divinity in a dance we've shared before
"Someone dissolution"
This is "I am all" as "I am none"
Here we fly so high, no, I, no coming down
Shedding weight as I'm coming undone
All that's left converging as one
I am the sun
I am the sun
I'm a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything
I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head
I walk with death in final exhalation
And come apart through violent separation
A thousand floors ascend into the ether
A lunatic enchanted by the reaper
And down below I leave a stranger laying lifeless as the light begins to shatter the skies
I ascend and leave behind the "used to be"
And tear the fabric worn to cover my eyes and see
I see
Nobody
Breathe in the silence, ebb and flow among the waves
Blur on the spectrum in light come dark in equal phase
All I ever was, has been and always will be
Here I end as I started again beyond death and borne on the wind
I am the sun
I am the sun
I'm a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything
I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head
A crack in the darkness
A tear in the sky
A narrow moment when we find ourselves
And all we occupy
Return to the boundless
Immerse in the free
Letting go as you lose your name
And all you’ve known to be
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Thanks for the lyrics
can anyone tell me the meaning of this song
Djent lyrics haha.
@@ShowGun8 lol
@HeyYou I'm probably wrong, but this is what I think. It's means there is a man with immense power that has ruined his life using it. Leaving his mark and waiting for death to reach the afterlife.
He would be someone who's not well known. And nobody would know of his power.
This song, nobody a.k.a. how to ascend into heaven
Man I lost myself but reminding myself what good music sounds like. I miss y’all ❤ Fr Canada ❤
My dad only played 1 song by Avenged Sevenfold, which led me to listen to more songs by them, and now I’m a full on Avenged Sevenfold fan.
What song was it?
@@Shirahoshee Hail to the King
@Jagger the Dachshund badass, bro. Mine was Carry On in Call of Duty Black Ops II
Same thing for me and same song lol
My dad made me watch live in the lbc and then after that I listened to more and more and am now a true a7x fan
They really dove into that concept sound and thats whats amazing about this band, they arent afraid to try those new sounds. Love this band! SOLO AND DRUMS ARE AMAZING AS ALWAYS! Cannot wait for this new album!
Did you understand, look, ppl just unsubscribe this band, just bcz the song is not that good wtf, i really mad at ppl, they're sucks, i hate ppl like that
@@Ore_arts It's sad that fans can't accept that a bands sound has to change through the years and as a fan you grow with them. If you want the same crap, go listen to Metallica or something... I agree with you, it sucks... But the true fans will stay!
@@SnarkySqueege Agree 100%! Best band of our time 🖤
@@SnarkySqueege bruh Metallica changed their sound too, you should have said Megadeth
@@attakerz871 Honestly good call there lol
4:43 amazing guitar solo
Never get tired of hearing this song, I always sing along when Matt's voice comes
I’m so happy there are still bands out there with the courage to pursue art.
Avenged Sevenfold - Nobody (Official Video) 1929pm 14.3.23 go to revolver... sounds like ministry and the agnostic gospel choir. old hat but good luck to 'em. spent more on the vid than they did on perusing their musical ventures, i feel...
So what you're saying is that you haven't ever experienced many bands or much art.
There are a metric fuck ton of bands persuing art. Most people just don't see them because they don't look for new music or take any chances.
I’m confused. This sounds like dog shit. Is that art?
The guy just said that "there are still BANDS out there pursuing art", not only a7X, not only one band, read the text properly guys.
I believe this is a true testament of how artists create innovative new pieces and start a trend, with such originality comes eventually imitation as a prospect of flattery. This song is a journey, we are everything and nothing at the same time, we our own gods of our own universe. I can’t wait to see what is in store.
Never really listened to rock before this , but I must say this song is an experience 🔥🔥
You should continue forth in this endeavor. Rock is better than any other genre ever created
Man that guitar solo is 🔥 🔥
This song is an acquired taste. The more I listen to it, the more I love it.
True, it's even lyrically deeper than The Stage (the single) and I can't wait for the album!
Agreed
I loved it, the horns section although cluttered in the mix still sounds amazing in the background! And adds an extra layer of melody that puts the chorus over the top!
Same
True, I didn't like it that much the first time I heard it.
Avenged Sevenfold revived the legends. I love this song....
Best solo I’ve ever heard in my half lifetime
The beginning is stuck in my head and lives there.
lol, workes perfectly when you wake up, i bet.
Ive had it stuck in my head for the last 2 months 🤷
@@idorion9096 oof wow
Definitely not what I expected, but after a few listens this is definitely growing on me. Can’t wait to hear more of this.
Absolutely me bro 🙏 give it the 3rd try, and I can get into it now, can't fckin wait for more to come 🤘
@@TrungNguyen-wy2gi kinda disappointed tbh 😂
I feel the same. It grew on me too
It's sounding experimental but I can feel something from The Stage and Diamonds On The Rough.
@@albaaivn give it 2 more listens
7 years man, I remember the release of the stage and how exciting it was. Now you brought the same feeling back. Thank you A7x
I was hoping to see something similar😅 I was hoping for '' New album out now '' after their live 🤣it's gonna be a long wait
This was my same thought. It has the stage feeling to it with the same story telling
Holy fuck 7 years, I swear it was only 2 or 3... Time is fuckin flying by
10 yrs they launched hail to the king, I'm getting old
@@luizmarcos-ov3js time’s fly it’s crazy
This solo speaks to my soul
This is growing on me actually.
This song is dark. This is a band evolving. This song is everything I expect an A7X song to sound like. I like it.
I got a positive "ego death" vibe from it. It's deep for sure. I'm so happy they're back!
Ego Death, as in Polyphia? meh. That's a great example of how you can have similar ingredients (solo dancing the bridge, choppy cymbal work, up and down steady undercurrent) and yet somehow, plyphia manages to be completely soul-less ai art and a7x is bringing raw emotion. I personally can't stand polyphia although its hard to pinpoint why.. likely the complete lack of soul... but i do get the comparison.
@@Steve-fc4bo I think he means thematically, the song is seemingly about the phenomenon of ego death that people tend to experience when experimenting with shrooms and dmt.
@@Steve-fc4bo ego death is not a concept polyphia came up with....
@@JaCkcape000 I think he's never heard of the concept and thought the comment was referring to the song by polyphia rather than ego death itself.
