Episode 58 - Avenged Sevenfold/Avenged Sevenfold

Author: Chew The Metal September 23, 2021 Duration: 1:05:39

It's another returning band! This week, we dive into Avenged Sevenfold's self titled release, which was unfortunately their last album with Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan. Prepare for lots of drum talk, guitar noises and Tim Burton.

Key talking points - The escape room blues, the wonders of memory, some questions need answering, we marvel at The Rev, V. Shadows gets in on the action, is anyone really left handed?, we demand justice for bassists, Rich gets flustered by some medicine, Kyle explains his love of vocoders and, once again, we use those famous adjectives 'Tim Burton & Danny Elfman' to describe a song.

Each week, hosts Rich and Kyle pick a foundational or fascinating album from the rock and metal spectrum and break it down, not as critics, but as curious fans building the ultimate playlist. Their conversations are less like lectures and more like the chat you’d have with friends after a concert, full of genuine reactions, historical tidbits, and the occasional debate over a killer riff or a questionable lyric. The whole point of this podcast is to demystify the genre, one deep dive at a time, making those iconic and obscure records accessible to everyone. You’ll hear the music that shaped movements, understand why certain albums matter, and maybe even find your new favorite band. It’s a weekly journey where the hosts are learning right alongside you, making the vast landscape of heavy music feel a little smaller and a lot more welcoming. Join Rich and Kyle as they listen, laugh, and genuinely chew on everything metal has to offer.
