New Avenged Sevenfold.

Avenged Sevenfold has released their first single, “Hail to the King“. It is also the title track for their upcoming album which will be in stores August 27th. The song isn’t an intense, in your face song like “Nightmare” or “Welcome to the Family” were.

Having listened to it a few times, maybe it will be a song that eventually grows on people but it is pretty even paced all the way through.

These guys will be at ROCKUSA in Osh Kosh, WI on Wednesday so I will be seeing them for a second time.

Take a listen and let me know what you think.

The Iron Maiden(s)

Yes the S on the end of Maidens is supposed to be there. No typo here. If you are not sure who the Iron Maidens are, they are an all female cover band of the heavy metal Gods, Iron Maiden.

While I was doing my podcast a few weeks ago, one of the hosts Zach told me  I had to check out their cover of, “The Trooper“. It is a phenomenal cover and pretty awesome to see women rock out to some Maiden! A few of the women in the band were ranked in the top 25 of Revolver’s hottest chics in rock/metal.

Check out the cover here and let me know what you think.
