Unholy Confessions


     Am                   F       G
"I'll try," she said as he walked away.
Am
"Try not to lose you."
            F            G
Two vibrant hearts could change.
Am
Nothing tears the being more than deception,
F        G
unmasked fear.
Am            F        G          Am
"I'll be here waiting" tested and secure.


Am            F
Nothing hurts my world,
G                     Am
just affects the ones around me
Am                 F
When sin's deep in my blood,
G                    Am
you'll be the one to fall.


Am              F      G
"I wish I could be the one,
Am      F         G
the one who won't care at all
Am        F              G
But being the one on the stand,
Am F       G                           F
I know the way to go, no one's guiding me.
Am                    F               G
When time soaked with blood turns its back,
Am F        G       Am
I know it's hard to fall.
Am          F           G
Confided in me was your heart
Am F        G       Am   F        G       Am
I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me."


Am                        F
Nothing will last in this life,
G                 Am    
our time is spent constructing,
Am                               F        G
now you're perfecting a world... meant to sin.
Am                          F
Constrict your hands around me,
G                     Am
squeeze till I cannot breathe,
Am                          F
this air tastes dead inside me,
G                 Am
contribute to our plague.
Am
Break all your promises,
F
tear down this steadfast wall,
G
restraints are useless here,
Am
tasting salvation's near.

Biografi Avenged Sevenfold



Avenged Sevenfold (juga dikenal sebagai A7X), adalah band beraliran metal core yang berasal dari Huntington Beach, California.
Mereka berasal dari tempat yang sama dimana kesemuanya kecuali Synyster Gates berasal dari sekolah yang sama, yaitu Huntington Beach High School. Mereka terbentuk di awal tahun 1999 dimana personil awalnya hanya beranggotakan empat orang saja yaitu M.Shadows, Zacky Vengeance, The Rev dan Justin Sane (Bass).
Nama Avenged Sevenfold diambil dari salah satu kisah di dalam bibel. Walaupun mengambil nama dari bibel, M.Shadows mengakui bahwa bandnya tidak terlalu religius ataupun bertujuan untuk menyebarkan suatu kepercayaan religi atau poltik kepada penggemarnya.
Dalam perjalanannya, Avenged Sevenfold sempat berganti aliran dari metal-core menjadi lebih ke arah alternative metal. Rumor yang beredar mengatakan hal ini dikarenakan sang vokalis, M.Shadows harus menjalani operasi akibat pita suaranya yang sobek akibat melakukan scream yang terlalu keras pada sebuah konser. Namun dalam setiap kesempatan wawancara, Avenged Sevenfold sering menyangkal kebenaran rumor ini. Perubahan aliran yang mereka lakukan lebih dikarenakan mereka amat menyenangi melakukan eksperimental dalam bermusik dan ingin melakukan evolusi dalam gaya dan aliran bermusik mereka.
Avenged Sevenfold memiliki lambang yang merekan namakan “Deathbat”. Lambang ini dirancang oleh teman semasa SMA mereka, Micah Montague. Lambang ini selalu muncul di setiap konser mereka dan hampir selalu ada di setiap album mereka.
Album pertama mereka, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet direkam ketika mereka masih berumur 18 tahun. Album ini dirilis dengan label Good Life Recordings, tetapi setelah gitaris Synyster Gates masuk Avenged Sevenfold, album ini dirilis ulang dengan label Hopeless Records. Lagu “To End The Rapture” juga direkam ulang, kali ini ditambahkan dengan permainan gitar Synyster Gates. Dan akhirnya dirilis pada bulan juli 2001. Walaupun yang bermain bass dalam rekaman pembentukan albumadalah Justin Sane, namun pemain bass yang tertera dalam CD skin adalah Daemon Ash. Hal ini dikarenakan sesaat sebelum proses mixing album tersebut, Justin Sane dikeluarkan dari band dan digantikan Johnny Christ. Sampai saat ini belum diketahui penyebab terusirnya Justin Sane dari band tersebut.
Pada tahun 2003, mereka pun merilis full-length album kedua mereka yang bertajukWaking The Fallen. Album ini terjual sebanyak 175.000 copy di Amerika Serikat dan mencapai peringkat 12 di dalam Independent Album Chart di Amerika Serikat.
Album ketiga mereka, City of Evil, rilis di tahun 2005. Album tersebut merupakan salah satu album tersukses dari Avenged Sevenfold. Bahkan album tersebat sempat menduduki posisi 30 dalam US Billboard Chart dan terjual sebanyak 730.000 copy di Amerika Serikat saja. Saat itu Amerika Serikat tengah jenuh dengan musik hip-hop dan pop yang merajalela, lalu Avenged Sevenfold merilis album mereka City of Evil tepatnya pada tanggal 8 Juni, 2005. Hits single Bat Country merupakan lagu metal/rock pertama yang merajai MTV TRL. Mereka mempopulerkan kembali solo gitar dengan duet gitaris Synyster Gates dan Zacky Vengeance yang benar-benar memanaskan area moshpit. Album tersebut mendapat sertifikat gold dan memenangkan predikat Best New Artist in a Video di MTV VMA 2006 untuk lagu Bat Country.
Pada tahun 2007, mereka pun kembali menelurkan album baru yang bertajukAvenged Sevenfold. Dalam debutnya di Amerika Serikat, album ini menempati posisi ke empat dalam Billboard 200. Album ini terjual sebanyak 94.000 copy di Amerika Serikut dalam kurun waktu satu minggu setelah perilisannya. Awal Agustus 2007, mereka menjalani tur Asia Pasifik mereka, dan sempat mampir di Indonesia dan memainkan lagu mereka pertama kali di depan publik. Lagu yang berjudul Almost Easy tersebut mendapat sambutan hangat dari penggemar di seluruh dunia. Ketika itu band punk Jogjakarta Endang Soekamti didaulat menjadi band pembuka.
Tahun 2008, mereka berpartisipasi sebagai headliners di tour Taste of Chaos bersama dengan Bullet for My Valentine, Atreyu, Blessthefall dan Idiot Pilot. Ketika tour, mereka merekam sebuah DVD yang mengandung 6 lagu baru mereka.
Dan di tahun 2008, mereka merilis sebuah album yang berisi rekaman live concert mereka di Long Beach, California yang bertajuk Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough.
Anggota saat ini
M. Shadows – vokal
Synyster Gates – gitar melodi, piano, vokal
Zacky Vengeance – gitar ritmik, vokal
Johnny Christ – bass, vokal
The Rev – drum, perkusi, vokal, piano
Ciri khas
Ciri khas yang dapat andda nikmati dalam setiap musik mereka adalah nyanyian yang melodik dan screaming, hardcore riffs dan storming drum-beats. Dalam hal bermusik,Avenged Sevenfold banyak dipengaruhi oleh band-band seperti Pantera, NOFX, Misfits, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Dream Theater dan Iron Maiden.
Mereka cenderung memainkan nuansa agresif pada vokal, gitar, dan drum (bass tetap statis). Dengan sentuhan yang dinamis, mau keras atau lambat, mereka tetap menggunakan harmonisasi yang luar biasa dan komposisi yang teratur. Sebut saja lagu-lagu yang sedikit melow, seperti Seize The Day dan Dear God, gitarnya tetap di drop Dm seperti halnya metal-metal kebanyakan. Kemudian, ciri khasnya selain komposisi dan drop, Syn memasukkan nuansa sweep picking (arpeggio) di hampir semua lagunya. Keindahan sweep picking yang dipadukan dengan kromatik, slide, dan teknik-teknik lainnya bisa kita dengar di lagu The Wicked End. Kemudian selain itu, tidak lupa juga sentuhan akustik yang membawa suasana seperti di Hawaii, bisa kita dengar di lagu Sidewinder. Tapi, satu lagi ciri khas yang tidak pernah lepas dari mereka, menduetkan gitar Syn dan Zacky, memakai double bass dengan tempo yang beberapa kali lipat beat-nya dari biasanya.
Mantan Anggota
Justin Sane – Bass
Dameon Ash – Bass
Matt Wendt – Bass

Solo lyrics:
I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong enough to despise
But I'll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied

So far away
And I need you to know

So far away
And I need you to, need you to know...

Afterlife

Intro: E5 F#5 B5 A5 G5 A5 E5 F#5 D5
       E5 F#5 D5 E5 G5 F#5 D5
       E5 F5 A5 B5 E5

E5                     G5  E5                 G5
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
E5                  G5    E5         A5    G5      E5
so unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you
E5                  G5     E5                     G5
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
E5                         G5    E5                         G5 B5 A5 G5 E5
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

E5       G5       A5    E5            G5        A5
I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right
E5       G5            A5         B5       A5      G5
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
A5           B5
Arrived too early

E5                          G5                  B5
And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
E5                                G5                   B5  G5
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

G5             D5                  E5      C5                   G5
I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
                    D5            E5         C5          B5
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here


E5                       G5   E5                  G5
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
E5                           G5   E5          A5     G5       E5
Can leave this place but refrain,'cause we've been waiting for you
E5                  G5    E5                    G5
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
E5                          G5  E5                        G5 B5 A5 G5 E5
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

E5           G5           A5
This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
E5          G5      A5
No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall)
E5          G5               A5          B5       A5         G5
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
A5              b5
I've made up my mind

E5                      G5                       B5
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
E5                            G5                B5    G5
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

G5                  D5                    E5
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
C5                             G5                     D5
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might
       E5          C5               B5
take me back inside when the time is right

E5              C5                     A5                   E5
Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me
             C5                          A5         E5
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
E5         C5                 A5          E5
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(Who are you?; I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy)
E5            C5                  A5             E5
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

Bat Country

E5           A5        G5        D5        E5   E5      A5        G5      D5     E5
He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man
E5 A5 G5 D5
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
E5       G5  A5    B5     A5      G5    D5      A5       B5
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
E5        G5        E5                        G5
I trie-ie-ied to drive all through the night,
E5                                      G5   E5                   G5
the heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
E5  F#5-G5-E5  F35 G5  B5
No oasis here to see,
       B5 F5  A5-B5   G5-A5    G5   F#5  E5
the sand is singing deathless words to me.

Chorus:
E5                                      A5       G5         D5
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
D5                                     G5       F#5            E5
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
E5                                      A5      G5        D5
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
D5                                 G5          F#5                           E5
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.

E5        G5 E5                         G5    E5               G5
As Ie-ie-ie adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights
E5                             G5
will take me to new heights.
E5                           G5   E5               G5
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.
E5                                 G5  E5
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.
E5     F#5-G5-E5 F#5-G5-B5  B5   F5 A5-B5  G5-A5     G5  F#5  E5
Mental fiction follows me;    show me what it's like to be set free.

BACK TO:Chorus

G   A  D         F#                              G
So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long
F#                       G
my vision's so unclear.
G      A     D            F#                 G
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised
  F#                                            G
when things aren't what they seem.

E5        G5 A5      B5    A5      G5   D5       A5       B5
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
E5        G5    A5    B5          A5   G5 D5    A5     B5
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today.

Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die,
E5                                G5  E5
we look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.
E5                                G5  E5                         G5
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by,
E5                              G5   E5
don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right.
A5                      G5         E5
I'll make a beast out of myself,
A5           G5             C5 B5 G5  B5 F#5 E5
gets rid of all the pain of being a   maaaaaan

G   A  D         F#                              G
I've known it from the start all these good ideas
F#                       G
will tear your brain apart.
G   A  D         F#                              G
Scared but you can follow me I'm too weird to live
F#                       G
but much too rare to die.
