The Musical Box have put up their review of Avenged Sevenfold’s set on the “Nightmare After Christmas” tour in Lexington, KY. Read the full thing here.
As the music box-style intro to the show-opening Nightmare (the title tune to the A7X’s fifth and newest album) commenced, a stuntman (well, let’s hope it was a stuntman) stood atop the light rigging perched over a stage made to resemble a graveyard. After slipping a makeshift noose around his neck, he leapt into in the air and was left, literally, hanging as A7X lets loose with Nightmare’s near operatic mix of banshee vocals, pop-metal melodies and twin guitar leads. Around this dark carnival shot enough flames and pyrotechnics to put the Trans Siberian Orchestra to shame.
