Being 67 years old, I've listened to a lot of metal. The way this song begins may well be the best of all time. It couldn't be better. Just solid start to finish. Love the comments, too. Here's my own: I played this song in the rain and it turned into flaming hail!
I never understood how A7X could not be considered metal by any existing person, its the main genre they write for, and they have both complex and simply songs that almost all fit inside the genre of metal. They're instrumentals are as melodic as Iron Maiden and they're as heavy as Metallica and Black Sabbath, and they beat out many other older bands for ingenuity in music. And M. Shadows can go from a great raspy scream to a very melodic high pitch note. Like seriously, if they aren't metal, then Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Black Sabbath must be pop music, because its obvious A7X were heavily inspired by all of them.
I'm Fearr Even though they've done both heavy and light, hell, they may not restrict themselves just to metal, but that can't mean they aren't. (I mean they wrote Second Heartbreak, for example, which is definitely not light and they've covered Pantera's Walk better then almost any other band I've seen do it) I just don't get how they obviously do metal justice (just looking at City of Evil, the songs on that album are about as intricate as I'd expect from Black Sabbath and old Iron Maiden, not as heavy as Sabbath, but still) and many fanatics think they deserve to be called pop or alt even though they obviously live mostly in metal, and not always lightly. (Also, since I gave an example of songs where Shadows more so screamed, I should also point out he doesn't need to scream to make great songs, as he is suppose to be cutting down on that, but This Means War uses a Metallica riff and rhythm, which is also not light, just upbeat, also those people who call them a rippoff on that song are stupid, its just a rhythm, not like they actually stole the song)
Black Sabbath consider(ed) their music to be Hard Rock… Metallica's style is changing, going from Thrash thru Hard Rock and even broughts some other music style elements… what you have named does not always defines the genre and in the end… how does it even matter? Is the word Metal more cool sounding then Hard Rock or what? Why do you need them to be called Metal? …
My 2-year-old daughter vibes with this masterpiece.. No matter in what mood she is in once this song is on she stomps her little foot on the rythm of the right❤️❤️ i proudly raise a little metalhead 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Keep introducing your kid to metal, rock, and all sorts of different genres of music. Those who grow up listening and playing music develop minds that become designed for it. As a fellow musician, I grew up listening to all kinds of music, watching my father play guitar and his friends jam out with him, and began playing instruments at 8 years old. I developed a passion for music, especially rock and metal, and there is nothing better than seeing other people who are just as passionate. Thank you!
@@alison7989 in fact my husband is a drummer and i used to be an amateur singer, my sister plays guitar, violin and sometimes experiments with other small instuments, my daughter seems to have a natural inclination to music as well.. She does things her father did in her age that grew as a passion for music 🤘 of course i try to give her stimuli from several gernes🥰
I was blasting this in my car today and at the lights some dude pulled up and started chanting "HAIL" while banging his head and rocking out with me 😂🤘 Made my entire week already! Edit: posted on a monday morning
Gotta say, heard this song on my radio station but this the first time ever seeing the video. The imagery is epic, filmed in beautiful black and white, after watching it to the end, said aloud, *"that was badass!~"*
In every avenged's concert when this song is being played there is nothing to do in the Intro part but shouting " hail". it's just so fucking exciting as fuck.
They came to Utah, where I am, and it was fucking awesome! They played, Afterlife, Almost Easy, Hail to the King, So Far Away, Nightmare, A Little Piece of Heaven, and more I don't remember.
When they opened for Metallica last week, I have to say that chanting HAIL at the start of this song was one of the best fucking moments I've ever experienced.
Their show in houston with metallica was fucking emotional dude i felt that energy when i chanted hail with everyone... feels like a dream.... like im not even sure it fucking happened.... i have to see them again
I AM NOW 77 YRS & 9 MONTHS OLD BUT FOREVER YOUNG OF HEART & I HAVE COME TO LOVE HEAVY METAL AND A FAN NOW OF AVENGED SEVENFOLD INSPIRED BY MY BFF SIR DJ MADPAINTER KEN.... BRAVO !
veeti I’m tired of people judging me based on my profile picture. I played gt years ago, and how does that have anything to do with my musical taste. And on a final note, you recognized that the picture was growtopia so you must be familiar too.
As a drummer myself, the drums on this song especially are pretty simple but it works so well. It's almost a throwback tribute to older classic rock or something
Heard this for the first time tonight on the radio. How do I go almost 10 years not hearing this song? They obviously don't play it enough. I should listen to more albums on TH-cam to find great songs from bands I know of.
Be thankful they do not play it on the radio too much, because they will run it into the ground just like they do all of the songs they get a hold of. They play them over and over and over and over. I can barely listen to the radio any more because it's the same shit constantly.
I'm 63 and a friend a metal head as I hear people call him ask me to listen to it and I was hooked. Excellent song. And I will go thur and listen to songs I've not Heard are really paided attention to. Rock On.
It's impressive how Mr. Shadows' vocal intensity persists, even after years of vocal strain. He carries all the emotional depth, manifesting as anger and hatred in his delivery. The layers in this song are incredible; the weight and intensity blend seamlessly with its melodramatic essence. Synyster Gates' solo is truly captivating.
As soon as Johnny enters the song around 00:53 is when it starts to feel like the song is finally complete after all that buildup and then the lyrics can begin. THAT'S why the bass is important in metal.
I agree. I wonder what it would've been like if they had let him do that. I mean, Syn literally had to get him to do what they ended up doing because he liked to thrash.
Lyrics: Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid Children roam the streets now orphans of war Bodies hanging in the streets to adore Royal flames will carve a path in chaos, bringing daylight to the night Death is riding into town with armor, they've come to take all your rights Hail to the King Hail to the One Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun Hail to the King Hail, Hail, Hail the King Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne. Born again but it's too late to atone. No mercy -- from the edge of the blade Dare escape and learn the price to be paid Let the water flow with shades of red now, Arrows black out all the light Death is riding into town with armor, they've come to grant you your rights Hail to the King Hail to the One Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun Hail to the King Hail, Hail, Hail the King There's a taste of fear When the henchmen call Iron fist to tame the land Iron fist to claim it all Hail to the King Hail to the One Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun Hail to the King Hail, Hail, Hail the King
This is the first time I've ever heard someone make music that sounds almost identical to MetallicA. I've said for a long time that no one quite does music like Metallica, but these guys have actually managed to make something that sounds exactly like one of my favorite bands of all time! Well done!!!
This was the first song that played on the radio when I brought my son home from the hospital for the first time. Been his anthem ever since. Hail to the king!!
He was in the nicu his first 2 months, couldnt find a vain so they put one in his head, he didnt flinch. The dude is 9 years old now and a complete stallion. I love this kid. Hail to my little king!!
I was never a fan of A7X, but during my darkest period, I started hearing songs I had never listened to before. I have to admit, I was wrong. A7X rocks.
My two favorite bands are MetallicA and Disturbed, but Avenged Sevenfold has perfected the sound of classic thrash/shred metal. It's not all screamo, but has some and real grit and power. The band members are brilliant musicians and they sound flawless. Plus their mixing and layering of instruments is some of the best in all of music. I would love to see them live one day.
Hail to the King Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid Children roam the streets now orphans of war Bodies hangin' in the streets to adore Royal flames will carve a path in chaos Bringing daylight to the night (night) Death is riding into town with armor They've come to take all your rights Hail to the King Hail to the one Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun Hail to the King (Hail, hail, hail) (The King) Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne Born again but it's too late to atone No mercy from the edge of the blade Dare escape and learn the price to be paid Let the water flow with shades of red now Arrows black out all the light (light) Death is riding into town with armor They've come to grant you your rights Hail to the King Hail to the one Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun Hail to the King (Hail, hail, hail) (The King) There's a taste of fear (hail, hail, hail) When the henchmen call (hail, hail, hail) Iron fist to tame them (hail, hail, hail) Iron fist to claim it all Hail to the King Hail to the one Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun Hail to the King Hail to the one Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun Hail to the King (Hail, hail, hail)
I always felt like this song and Metallica's King Nothing were related. Avenged Sevenfold: Hail to the KING! Metallica: Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Oh, wow. Never thought about it, but when you play them together, it does almost sound like a call and answer doesn't it? It doesn't help knowing they've opened for Metallica xD
Avenged Sevenfold got me through High School, and certainly will get me through college. Thanks for making the music that's always been my escape and always will be my escape.
Wow. Nine years later and still gives me the biggest case of goosebumps ever. Thank you A7X for amazing work like this and so many other songs through the years.
Here are the lyrics Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid Children roam the streets now orphans of war Bodies hangin' in the streets to adore Royal flames will carve a path in chaos Bringing daylight to the night (night) Death is riding into town with armor They've come to take all your rights Hail to the King Hail to the one Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun Hail to the King (Hail, hail, hail) (The King) Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne Born again but it's too late to atone No mercy from the edge of the blade Dare escape and learn the price to be paid Let the water flow with shades of red now Arrows black out all the light (light) Death is riding into town with armor They've come to grant you your rights Hail to the King Hail to the one Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun Hail to the King (Hail, hail, hail) (The King) There's a taste of fear (hail, hail, hail) When the henchmen call (hail, hail, hail) Iron fist to tame them (hail, hail, hail) Iron fist to claim it all Hail to the King Hail to the one Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun Hail to the King Hail to the one Kneel to the crown Stand in the sun Hail to the King (Hail, hail, hail)

Metallica and A7x are slightly different sound-wise, but i do love both. I always say A7x is the religious version of Metallica, and slightly darker(even though Metallica can get pretty dark).
As a metal head from the old days, it fills my heart with joy to see the heavy metal banner being carried forward by these kids from A7x. More power to them, I say! Yes, they are not Judas Priest or Iron Maiden. They are something new. Representing a new era and a new generation. But yet they carry with them all the traditions and virtues that make metal, metal. Thank you A7x and may you and other bands like you carry metal far into the 21st century.
That's the beauty. It isn't classic, but they have the chops, and will be forgiven for stealing the lyrical melody from Enter Sandman almost note for note, which is from a classic metal band on their decline when said melody was created. All is good. All hail Lemmy.
@@henrikg1388 This song. "Say your prayers, little one, don't forget to include every one"...."Watch your tongue, I'll have it cut from your head. Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid" The melody is nearly identical
They got the idea from AC/DC Thunderstruck. Awesome song too, a7x just changed the intro a bit to make it their own. Some people say a7x stole it, but really they're paying homage to the bands before them that lead the way. If there was no AC/DC or Metallica ect, no A7X.
that most esteemed position in my heart is way too crowded for an a7x song, as it's currently occupied by Dio's Holy Diver, but if it wasn't, it would probably be Be'lakor's "countless skies", lamb of god's "set to fail", or Katatonia's "scarlet heavens"
What does it mean to be Avenged Sevenfold? Genesis 4:15. But the LORD said to him, "Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. Treasury of Scripture. If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Omg, this reminds me so much of the Mortal Instrument series. (It's a book series, the first is City of Bones, it's really good. ;3) There's also a TV show.

Royal flames will carve a path in chaos, bringing daylight to the night
Death is riding into town with armor, they've come to take all your rights
Hail to the King
Hail to the One
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
Hail, Hail, Hail the King
Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne.
Born again but it's too late to atone.
No mercy -- from the edge of the blade
Dare escape and learn the price to be paid
Let the water flow with shades of red now, Arrows black out all the light
Death is riding into town with armor, they've come to grant you your rights
Hail to the King
Hail to the One
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
Hail, Hail, Hail the King
There's a taste of fear
When the henchmen call
Iron fist to tame the land
Iron fist to claim it all
Hail to the King
Hail to the One
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
Hail, Hail, Hail the King
Thanks 😎

This is the first time I've ever heard someone make music that sounds almost identical to MetallicA. I've said for a long time that no one quite does music like Metallica, but these guys have actually managed to make something that sounds exactly like one of my favorite bands of all time! Well done!!!
Go check out this means war. It's sad but true.
exactly what he said ^^
Opeth my friend, Opeth
GunsnRosesfan2012 a rip off of sad but true.
Superalex9 Patterson yup
My wife told me to change this.....she sleeps on the couch now
Understandable.
Hell yeah 😅
Fuck that she should be divorced 😂
I remember a point in time when this album came out a lot of fans didn't care for this album. I still love it and always will
This was the first song that played on the radio when I brought my son home from the hospital for the first time. Been his anthem ever since. Hail to the king!!
What station do you listen to? Any station that plays this song is a station I want to listen to.

I was never a fan of A7X, but during my darkest period, I started hearing songs I had never listened to before. I have to admit, I was wrong. A7X rocks.
One of my favorite songs!!! Im going back to my roots of heavy metal!!!! Im A 60yr old woman and love metal
Sweet
Im 53, saw A7X in concert about 15 years ago, going again next month! taking my 16 year old daughter.
That’s because you are a few years older than me , and we grew up in the most epic time of ….. METAL ✊
Me too, I'm 60 and my 31 yr old son and his fiance go headbanging with me now. What could be better?
People don't understand why I like listening to these guys, until I made them listen to the song "Hail To The King".
That's the truth! Yeah! Love
👍🤘
little piece of heaven and hail to the king are the best of sevenfold
Song is awesome, but far from their only smash hit. "Beast and the Harlot," "Bat Country" and "Nightmare" also helped me into A7X.
Vampire Queen so you completely misrepresented a7x to those people
This is my first time listening to Avenged Sevenfold..... I have literal chills.
Needless to say, I'm hooked
My top 4 favorites are, and in no particular order, this song, this means war, Shepard of fire, and a little piece of heaven
Wellcome to the Family
Welcome
Your next song is "Welcome to the family"
Need to listen to a little piece of heaven
Day 243 of listening to this song everyday for a year
How has this song not been used in a medieval film about waring kings or at least in the advertisement of such a film its too damn perfect
why not using it yourself... ? I can steal the idea from you, you know?
Good luck by the way...Heh
@@jackbauer8460 Oh I am using it. It's the theme song to my life
It gives me Game of Thrones vibes
I could really see them rockin' Avatar 2, Medieval rock, sounds great to me!
@@StubbornBullet Really! Me too so the two of us are kings...What a coincidence? what's your kingdom O Fellow King!
It's 4am. Just woke up from the middle of my sleep to listen to that "Haillll to the king". I'm gonna back to sleep now.
good night then
Hope you slept well
Pat?
mad commitment
I was gonna like this comment but it's already at right number (69).
“Watch your tongue I’ll have it cut from your head” is such a powerful line for no reason whatsoever. It had no right to be such an amazing song 😤
LMFAO
there is a reason...they used to do it
Theres only 1 king. Every knee will bow. Christ is King 🤴
He’s the true Rock star. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.
My two favorite bands are MetallicA and Disturbed, but Avenged Sevenfold has perfected the sound of classic thrash/shred metal. It's not all screamo, but has some and real grit and power. The band members are brilliant musicians and they sound flawless. Plus their mixing and layering of instruments is some of the best in all of music. I would love to see them live one day.
Seeing them live would be awesome!
Disturbed is always good avenged seven fold is just as good to but metallic is a little over rated in my opinion
How about shinedown
Könnte ich nicht besser beschreiben, für mich eine Hymne 🤘😎
I got to see them when they came out with this album back in 2015.. it was absolutely amazing

Look description :v
Thanks tho
Its In the description
Thanks
The lyrics are in the description. Comments like this are meaningless, especially to me, since I've memorized the lyrics to this song perfectly.
Lot of a7x songs you could put on repeat and never get tired of
bro an "a'; 8s an updise dwon g . waht the hell
This is true
I always felt like this song and Metallica's King Nothing were related.
Avenged Sevenfold: Hail to the KING!
Metallica: Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Oh, wow. Never thought about it, but when you play them together, it does almost sound like a call and answer doesn't it? It doesn't help knowing they've opened for Metallica xD
I let the algorithm decide for me what to listen to and the next song is often king nothing so maybe you are right.
It feels more of an homage to King of kings by Motorhead actually
Actually there is a mashup of the two songs which is pretty cool, just search for "hail to the king nothing".
holy fuck ur onto something
A7X has tons of aesthetic, and their harmonies are so complex.
Simplistcly amazing!!
i see wat u did there ;)
i dont get it
Ok then....
Christian said it was simplisticly amazing after sickness said it was simplistic. Thtz wat i meant
Avenged Sevenfold got me through High School, and certainly will get me through college. Thanks for making the music that's always been my escape and always will be my escape.
Avenged Sevenfold is amazing (:
+Br00tal Bob Agreed!
I'm still in high school lmao
+Lonnie Havard Stone Sour, Rammstein, Slipknot, A Day To Remember, One Ok Rock and lots of awesome bands.
Lonnie Havard Of course!

Wow. Nine years later and still gives me the biggest case of goosebumps ever. Thank you A7X for amazing work like this and so many other songs through the years.
Agreed 💯😉👍
Like dear god
This is good but the ultimate pump up song is “Glory” by SLT 🤘🎶🎧🥁🎸!!!
And that's right there's the roar of the king engine
Has never gave me goosebumps. Just makes me enraged. Tip: don’t play this while driving lol

That’s actually really impressive seeing as this type of guitar playing is extremely hard to master

Definitely a great intro
L'inizio è awesome
Andres Garcia Tellez fucking amazing intro!!!!!!
Andres Garcia Tellez. Its a good intro from my side
If you dislike A7X then you must not be a Metallica fan either, it is who they molded their music after.
***** I don't even know who that is. So apparently you know he/she better than I do. Which would make your comment even more irrelevant than mine. By your own standards.
***** Oh you mean like how AX7 is modeled after Metallica? Oh wait you clearly took offense to that comment, so you must NOT have know.. Wow, What a sorry piece of Troll shit you are.. Enjoy that while you can. One day you'll grow up and you won't be able to use your mom's cellphone anymore..
***** gr8 b8 m8 r8 8/8
Metallica and A7x are slightly different sound-wise, but i do love both. I always say A7x is the religious version of Metallica, and slightly darker(even though Metallica can get pretty dark).
***** It shits like you that ruin his world.
This is what makes people want to be bass players
As a metal head from the old days, it fills my heart with joy to see the heavy metal banner being carried forward by these kids from A7x. More power to them, I say! Yes, they are not Judas Priest or Iron Maiden. They are something new. Representing a new era and a new generation. But yet they carry with them all the traditions and virtues that make metal, metal. Thank you A7x and may you and other bands like you carry metal far into the 21st century.
You couldn't be more right.
Very true sir, I couldn't agree more. Avenged and Five-Finger are going to be the bands to represent us in new age metal.
Every metal head should be like you, my good sir
ya man , metal will live forever
you cannot kill the metal.
If you are listening to this, you have GREAT taste in music
Thank you veri mani
Me too man
I know
Cheers
oh yeah
It's one of those songs that you can put on repeat and never get tired of it
Yeah i agree
Still watching ‽
Omg you are everywhere
I literally just said something on your comment on Shepherd of fire and now I found you hear too lol
yes veo que eres hombre de cultura
DUNIA NI MEMANG LEGEND❤❤ORANG GILA PUN KAU KONTROL❤❤LU MEMANG THE BOMB❤❤
As good as classic metal can be. I saw them live 4-5 years ago. A great experience.
Can we trust
That's the beauty. It isn't classic, but they have the chops, and will be forgiven for stealing the lyrical melody from Enter Sandman almost note for note, which is from a classic metal band on their decline when said melody was created. All is good. All hail Lemmy.
@@mh5259 I merely meant that their style in later years, have been "classic metal". But which song is a ripoff from Enter Sandman, do you mean?
@@henrikg1388 This song. "Say your prayers, little one, don't forget to include every one"...."Watch your tongue, I'll have it cut from your head. Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid" The melody is nearly identical
You know your getting old when the music you think is fairly new is called classic by another generation 🤠😂😃😂
Metal fans : You can’t make a song out of a solo
Avenged Sevenfold : Hold our beers...
It’s nice to see new comments on music people ignore, avenged sevenfold is amazing
I will always be a fan avenged sevenfold I have two albums cover tattoo on me and their logo
Metal fans would disagree with what you just said.
Barrazellbub I’m a metal fan
Uhm, metallica? lmao
Can't believe this is 4 years old. I still remember the time this song was released. Good old days
4years ain't sheet, wait till 40has gone by....lol
it was almost a disaster when this song was released.. most people don’t like the change of a7x
Talal rafi Nice profile pic btw.
I think it was this song that brought me to metal...
Talal rafi FOUR YEARS OLD!!!!!!!
Day 238 of listening to this song everyday for a year
Love the opening guitar riff. Simple yet strong. What a band.
It’s the greatest of anthems.🤘🏽
2-3-5
They got the idea from AC/DC Thunderstruck. Awesome song too, a7x just changed the intro a bit to make it their own. Some people say a7x stole it, but really they're paying homage to the bands before them that lead the way. If there was no AC/DC or Metallica ect, no A7X.
Beard grew 3 ft tall
@@mikegriego3671 This whole album feels like a homage. If it would be interpreted that way, more people will appreciate it.
Public:a.guitar solo can't be a song
A7X: Hold our beers
Wow, so unfunny. Jesus Christ
@@lukesoper5997 yes you're right
Looks like someone never listened to progressive metal.
Van Halen: Hold my beer.
Bucket head: hold mine too
I have metalhead friends with opposing tastes, we all agree this song slaps. It's THE perfect metal song.
Facts
that most esteemed position in my heart is way too crowded for an a7x song, as it's currently occupied by Dio's Holy Diver, but if it wasn't, it would probably be Be'lakor's "countless skies", lamb of god's "set to fail", or Katatonia's "scarlet heavens"
It's not heavy enough for me to consider it the perfect metal song tbh.
@@noneofyerbisness8702 metal doesn’t always need to be super heavy.
Can you recommend me some metal songs. It looks like your music taste is superior.
The lyrics describe every big brother ever
Dude I know it's weird but I thought the exact same thing
This song is going to be around FOREVER.
Well this is Avenged sevenfold after all. I saw what you did there. RIP Jimmy
For ever and ever I'm a chef and we crank this on snitzel night it's our jam hail too the Kilpatrick
That's all!
I am my king's queen. I will protect HIM in spirit....prayers work....prayers labor. Let THAT sink in :)
I don't know man, that sink looks really suspicious, not sure if I want to let it in, I just have a gut feeling that it would do something bad..
What does it mean to be Avenged Sevenfold?
Genesis 4:15. But the LORD said to him, "Not so; anyone who kills Cain will
suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so
that no one who found him would kill him. Treasury of Scripture. If Cain
shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
How about that! Cool!
Nice!
Omg, this reminds me so much of the Mortal Instrument series. (It's a book series, the first is City of Bones, it's really good. ;3) There's also a TV show.
Joan Brunet Lol, I'm an atheist, but can you actually prove that he doesn't exist. I can't, but I can't prove he exists either..
Joan Brunet Can you prove it?
"Hail To The King" is a masterpiece, the whole album is amazing
Yeah f the haters
Though its the weakest one
