ALBUM REVIEW CREW EPISODE 32: "Hail to the King"
On the 32nd Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & Sonny review "Hail To The King" the platinum album by Avenged Sevenfold.
Hail To The King was Avenged Sevenfold's sixth studio album. The album was produced by Grammy award winning producer, Mike Elizondo. Hail To The King reached number one on the Billboard chart, just as the previous album, Nightmare did in 2010. The band went to a more straight hard rock/metal sound and away from their metalcore beginnings.
The album boasts the incredible vocals by M. Shadows who really shines on this album. Guitarist Synyster Gates riffs and solos give this album a real kick. Zachy Vengeance guitar work compliments Gates. Bassist Johnny Christ and new drummer, Arin Ilejay, who replaced late drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, round out the band.
As usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the cover against the previous 30 albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew.
So come find out if FISTS COLLIDE when ARC takes a rare dive into an album past the 1990's!
Hail!
