It\u2019s always exciting when a band makes their way back to Australia after a long time between tours, tonight for the first time since Soundwave in 2014 Avenged Sevenfold are back and the first show of the tour lands here in Sydney!<\/span><\/p>\n

I made it in midway through Thornhill\u2019s first song and it\u2019s such an early start that people are slowly starting to stream in. I\u2019m so glad I\u2019m here as these guys are truly impressive. They\u2019ve most definitely got the floor going as seeing the mosh from where I am is a treat to see. I\u2019ve never been overly familiar with Thornhill but after tonight I need to be. That was an impressive way to be warmed up tonight. <\/span><\/p>\n

Alright. One of my favourite live bands are up next and that is Coheed and Cambria. Starting off slowly before the band explodes and just the musicianship of this band is second to none. Into the brilliantly technical \u2018In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3\u2019 they have just set that stage. Damn they\u2019re good. Claudio is shredding this one out and it\u2019s a pleasure to see and hear. The hooky \u2018Searching for Tomorrow\u2019 Is next and it\u2019s tearing things up. Another guitar change and the heavier \u2018Key Entity Extraction II: Holly Wood the Cracked\u2019 and this is so good to hear live. It\u2019s just so much more in a live environment. Just watching this band is a pleasure, they are all such amazing musicians that you can\u2019t not love it. They keep things rolling with \u2018Key Entity Extraction III: Vic The Butcher\u2019 but then into the outstanding \u2018Shoulders\u2019 which is\u00a0 <\/span>easily one of my favourites of the bands catalogue and it\u2019s the first time hearing it live for me and I\u2019m stoked. From the melodic to the insanity of \u2018Blind Side Sonny\u2019 followed by an even heavier one in \u2018Play The Poet\u2019.\u00a0 <\/span>Travis addresses the crowd as they get ready for the next one being \u2018Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry the Defiant\u2019 and with some more Claudio stage workouts and this band just keeps delivering. Josh addressed the crowd quickly before \u2018Favor House Atlantic\u2019 and we are definitely in. What a song. I think we might only have a couple to go and let\u2019s see. Here\u2019s the brilliant \u2018The Liars Club\u2019 and I\u2019m glad this made it into the set, these almost pop metal songs are just perfection. So hooky and technical at the same time. Ok the double neck comes out and you know what time it is, it\u2019s time for \u2018Welcome Home\u2019 and man that is just something you need to see live. The guitar work is brilliant, the trading solos, Claudio with the moves, it\u2019s just brilliant. Of course that was the closer and the only way to go out. What a band and what a pleasure to see them back in Australia. Come back soon fellas. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ok now the place has filled up nicely. The sea of A7X shirts is awesome and after 12 years between visits everyone here is ready to go. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lights go down and the phones are lighting up as we all scanned a qr code so as they flash as the intro is playing and the cheers are getting louder in anticipation. <\/span><\/p>\n

The first notes play and the roar was huge. The band take the stage and as M Shadows says \u201cit\u2019s been a long fucking time Sydney I want to hear you\u201d and they sure did hear us. Straight into \u2018Nightmare\u2019 and they are on fire. This is going to be real good. What a start to the show. Wait. I see drums moving\u2026 Brooks who was behind the screen now sits atop the stage and that man is a beast. \u2018Game Over\u2019 is fast, and frantic and creepily amazing. Up next is one of my faves and it\u2019s \u2018Afterlife\u2019 let\u2019s go!!!! That was awesome, that groove the verses hits is next level and hearing the crowd sing it loud was something. A song this big this early is a treat that\u2019s for sure. The bells ring while we wait\u2026 then as the guitar rings in the very heavy \u2018Shepherd of Fire\u2019 and that\u2019s a hell of a catchy riff. Some amazing harmony guitar work from Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates in this one took this one next level. This is spectacular so far. This stage is insane and the screens just convey this show so well. Guitars introduce \u2018Buried Alive\u2019 and this slower one is a nice breather from that insane opening but man that got very heavy and the stage setting for this one is nuts. After a quick chat we get a song for The Rev and it\u2019s \u2018So Far Away\u2019 and this big beautiful ballad fits in nicely. We miss you, Rev. \u2018The Stage\u2019 starts with Synyster Gates on stage leading us in and the band joins in and it hits that very heavy groove and sweeping guitar underlying. It\u2019s so well done. A headbanging task for \u2018Nobody\u2019 and it gets nice and weird mid song before jumping back in to end with a big sweeping solo. Side note I really wish the \u201cshoey\u201d chant would stop ha ha. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Gunslinger\u2019 gets a whole lotta country metal to start but that changes very quickly and while everyone loves this one it\u2019s the next one that sent them over the edge. \u2018Hail to the King\u2019 is perfect. That opening riff is all you need to be in and they have ramped it up big time now. Side note one of my favourite parts of the night is when the spotlight was trying to find M Shadows. It happened\u00a0 <\/span>few times and was gold. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverything until now was a warm up\u201d we\u2019re told and the cheer before \u2018Bat Country\u2019 was warranted. Huge song and just testament to how good this band is. Damn \u2018Unholy Confessions\u2019 is heavy and another melodic ripper from the band. A circle pit has emerged on the floor and rightfully so. Man this is by far the heaviest of the night. This is fucking awesome. To top it off we get a drum solo from Brooks. With one to go \u2018A Little Piece of Heaven\u2019 keeps it damn heavy and has many singing along. What a great way to finish the set\u2026 or is it in fact finished? The band leave the stage but they\u2019ll be back. And look at that, they are. M and Synyster take front of stage to start \u2018Cosmic\u2019 as they\u2019re joined by the rest of the band and this slower one beautifully sets the song up before the tempo ramps up. They play this one out into a big epic and with that they are done. <\/span><\/p>\n

Avenged Sevenfold are a band that make great music but seeing it performed live takes this band to a completely different level, they are an absolutely astounding live, and a band you need to see. I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll see them back a lot sooner than twelve years. I\u2019ll be there when they return.<\/span><\/p>\n
