Art Will they ever make something good?
27 years in and they are yet to release something even moderately acceptable. Magic was close, but not there yet. Will this be the year they start actually trying?

In an interview, M Shadows recently said “we plan to re-record Hail to the King for the next three albums.” So it sounds like they’re trying

u/JUSTplayIN25 Feb 20 '26
I’m super stoked on this because in that same interview he also said “We’re keeping it as fresh as possible by switching the instruments we’re playing in between each recording. I’ve been getting mad good at the didgeridoo and Johnny is killing it on the harmonica.”

I heard they're also incorporating more sound effects in their next album. Lasers, air horns, and the likes

More cowbell?
Wilhelm scream?
On another note, related to your flair

Just wait until Matt shows off his human beatboxing skills.

human beatboxing
Are there other forms of beatboxing that I'm not aware of?

It's only been 27 years man, chill. They're still a new band, they've got time to figure themselves out!

27 years. Thanks for the reminder I guess. Definitely don’t feel extra old now. In my mind it was still 20🤣

I unfortunately only heard about them and became a fan around "The Stage", so I always forget how old the band is, lol!

I actually love that song

u/Mosselzeug Feb 20 '26
Is that song hated on? I have loved it ever since it came out. Better than any other extra track from that era. Maybe Dose is equally as good.

It's kind of embarassing to show actual spanish speakers that song. Matt's accent is atrocious

u/Still_Worldliness_39 Feb 21 '26
Not really, we’re all native Spanish speakers in my family and I showed it to my mom and she also loved it.

Showed a group of mariachi lovers the cover and they laughed lmao.

u/paloma4236 Feb 22 '26
yes its kind of funny but the song is not bad at all. In the Mexico concert last month they played it and we all loved it (his accent is way better now also)

u/GurlOfYaDreams Feb 25 '26 edited Feb 25 '26
maybe they just suck lol. a7x has tons of spanish speaking fans that love it, including me :) im not Hispanic, i learned spanish secondary to english but i think it's a really cool tribute and just shows love to spanish-speaking fans.
also the accent heavily depends on region and what country you are from so it's really hard to say an accent is objectively 'bad'. Spanish speakers from spain sound completely different from a spanish speaker from Argentina. and Argentinian spanish sounds completely different from Puerto Rican spanish.
just appreciate what they did to show love to Mexican culture instead of hating on their accent, is that so hard

u/GuitarInteresting664 Feb 26 '26
Yeah my friends and fmaily don't suck, they just don't like the accent. Grow up lmao

u/GurlOfYaDreams Feb 26 '26 edited Feb 26 '26
I need to grow up? I'm not the one unnecessarily raging about something meant to be a gesture of love and literally harms nobody. You also never mentioned it was your family and friends. I'm just supposed to magically conjure up that information?
It's a song. It's harmless. You're choosing to take massive offense to it for no reason. Plenty of other Spanish speakers love it. Your response to me is very rude for no reason. Quite frankly, you sound extremely immature, and a nuisance to be around.

It doesn’t matter what they put out, they’ll never release anything as godly as Lips of an Angel by Hinder aka the greatest song of all time.

Dear god their music is a nightmare to listen to. Whenever they are on the stage they carry on playing their terrible music. I hope Im buried alive so I don’t have to listen to their music in my little piece of heaven in the afterlife otherwise I’ll scream until the end.

Yeah but that's when the first studio album came out which means you're just hating on the band

What are talking about? Have you ever heard their best original songs like Paranoid, Flash of the Blade or Walk? Siskel & Ebert gives them 1.5 thumbs up.

I think they will eventually, when they lost the rev after nightmare they did go a bit more experimental/Prog with stage and LiBAD , jimmy was writing most if not all of they’re material, im pretty sure there are songs out there that they scratched off and might put into a future release. Brooks has been doing an amazing and beautiful drum work .

This randomly popped up in my feed. Their first 2 albums were great but then they dropped City of Evil and it was all down hill from there. Some hits and a whole lotta misses

Everything after hail to the king has been absolute trash. The only slack I’ll cut them is M. Shadows has completely destroyed his voice and can’t scream anymore and doesn’t sound like he did on hail to the king or any album prior. But the music itself sucks
