CaloN Pengganti The Rev

Avenged sevenfold yang kini tengah mempersiapkan album baru mereka dikabarkan telah menemukan penggebuk drum baru menggantikan almarhum james owen sullivan yang meninggal akhir desember tahun lalu. Dalam beberapa situs yang beredar, dikabarkan posisi penggebuk drum pada band ini sudah terisi. Dia adalah Cobus Potgieter. Drummer yang berasal dari afrika selatan ini bermain drum semenjak usia 6 tahun dan memperoleh pengaruh musik dari beberapa drummer hebat seperti Mike Portnoy, Carter Beauford, Tony Royster Jr., Travis Barker, dan Thomas Lang. Dia adalah drummer solo. Dia bahkan disebut-sebut lebih hebat dari Travis Barker. Permainannya mengandalkan tehnik, speed, dan groove.
Namun bagi kita para sevenfoldism, tidak ada drummer yang bisa menggantikan the rev di hati kita semua. Semoga pengganti the rev kelak bisa menjadi sehebat the rev, khususnya bagi para sevenfoldism.

Otopsi The Rev

Setelah meninggal dengan sangat mendadak, Kepolisian Huntington Beach mengatakan kalau kematian The Rev dikarenakan sebab-sebab alamiah. Akan tetapi pihak kepolisian tetap melakukan penyelidikan, termasuk melakukan otopsi terhadap jenazah The Rev.
Dalam proses otopsi ternyata belum menunjukan hasil yang berarti. Pihak kepolisian sedang berusaha mengungkap sampai tuntas kematian Jimmy. Mereka telah memerintahkan pihak laboratorium untuk melakukan tes toksikologi, mikroskopis, dan tes laboratorium lainnya, untuk mendapatkan hasil yang lebih jelas. Namun tes ini akan memakan waktu berminggu-minggu.

Avenged Sevenfold 2010 New Album Review

Sedikit bocoran tentang album baru a7x. Album ini genrenya lebih ke alternatif dan soft rock, ini mungkin dikarenakan Mat Shadow yang sudah tidak bisa scream lagi. Dan juga mereka ingin mengulang kesuksesan seperti pada lagu Dear God yg melejit. Tapi masih mengusung genre metalcore. Yah sebut saja genre ini crossover.

Lagu yang telah sedikit dibocorkan yakni Unwind The Chainsaw. Pihak warner Bross sendiri masih merahasiakan tentang lagu ini. Jadi kalau kalian melihat vidoe yang ada di youtube itu salah besar. Beda banget sama suara Mat Shadow, walaupun suara gitarnya seperti synyster. So, jangan ketipu!

Mat Shadow dalam fansite nya mengatakan tidak ingin mengecewakan para fans mereka. berikut adalah kutipan dari yang dikatakan Mat Shadow.

Hello everyone -
I realize that with the last record we stayed away from personally updating you guys with loads of information about how we were doing and about how the tours were going. We stayed away from doing too many interviews, radio and T.V. spots, trying not to overexpose ourselves. Not seeing ourselves everywhere and hearing about stupid shit we’ve said has generally made us happier people, much unlike the “City of Evil” record cycle. But I feel in doing so we have stopped communicating with the people that truly care about this band, the fans. So I’m gonna try to make these updates a little more frequently.

First I wanna say we had a great time touring this record. From the first tour in clubs, to headlining “Taste of Chaos”, to going out with Iron Maiden in Europe, to finishing it up with Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Burn Halo, Shinedown, Saving Abel and Rev Theory. We’ve made some great new friends and just had a great time playing to you guys every night. Rock on the Range and opening for Metallica in Mexico City were just added bonuses. We are gonna start rehearsing here in a couple days to get ready for Sonisphere over in the U.K and Ireland. We are looking forward to that.

We have been relaxing after almost 20 months of straight touring, but we have also been throwing around a lot of ideas for the new album. I think after we get back from the U.K. we will be able to fully get into this writing process. I’d hate to say more and start speculation and rumors this early in the process so thats all I’ll say about the album. Time flies and you’ll have a new record on your ipod before you know it, so be patient.

Since we’ve been home I’ve been working on a song with Slash for his solo album. It’s a killer track and he plays some of the most technical stuff I’ve ever heard from him.
But since it’s his record and not mine, more updates will have to come from him. “Waking the Fallen” went gold today and though we don’t talk about record sales much, this feels like a huge accomplishment. That record sold 3,000 copies the first week and is now well over 500,000 copies. In a day when music is virtually free, its a huge testament to the fans we have and the dedication they have given us for 10 years. Thanks guys and girls, we look forward to 10 more!

Yah dari pada bingung kita tunggu saja!
