Avenged Sevenfold New Single "Hail to the King" First Impressions

Avenged Sevenfold New Single “Hail to the King” First Impressions

 

Avenged Sevenfold officially released the first single “Hail to the King” from their upcoming album, “Hail to the King”. After listening to the song a few times we can confidently say that what you get is what we’ve expected quite frankly. It is anything but a “heavy” song. The intro kicks ass with Synyster Gates doing what he does best on the electric, and if only for the pure class of Synyster we’ll buy this album. But as for the rest of the song is does seem a bit… slow. It’s a catchy “Rockish” tune that still sounds pretty darn awesome. Yet, we’re not particularly happy with the “softer” road that A7X have chosen to take. Still they’re doing something right looking at the amount of fans they have and the crowds that pull in at their live shows.
