Nightmare (A7x)


So, clearly, if you have been following our posts, I am the only one without a cover of some kind... And I'm sorry to disappoint you but it'll stay that way for a while ^^. I bought the A7x Nightmare album yesterday, and it was pretty good. I listened to "Nightmare" and "Welcome to the Family" before I actually bought it and realized that it was worth buying.

As most of you A7x fans know, The Rev died... luckily, Mike Portnoy of Dream theater helped out by completing the recording of the drumming tracks. The thing that I find interesting about A7x is that they have an interesting but effective balance between hard rock and heavy metal. Not only that, but they can sound like many different bands in one album. For example, "So Far Away" is quite a bit softer than something like "Welcome to the Family". Overall, it's a great album, especially considering that one of their band members died.
