}} ''Waking the Fallen'' is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold, released on August 26, 2003, by Hopeless Records. The album was released as 2x12", LP, Repress, 33 ⅓ RPM, Grey Marble on 2008 in US. The album was certified gold on July 15, 2009, even though it only sold 3,000 copies on its first week of release. As of August 2014, it has sold over 693,000 copies in the United States. The song "Eternal Rest" appears on Kerrang's "666 Songs You Must Own". More clean vocals are featured on the album than on their debut album, ''Sounding the Seventh Trumpet''. The only song on the record that does not contain screaming is "I Won't See You Tonight (Part 1)"; ''Sounding the Seventh Trumpet'' has three songs without any screaming. As with ''Sounding the Seventh Trumpet'', most of the songs from this album are not usually performed live, although, "Unholy Confessions," "Chapter Four," "Eternal Rest," and "Second Heartbeat" have always been a staple to their set since the release of ''Waking the Fallen''. The song "Eternal Rest" was featured on the Soundtrack to the movie ''Saw IV''. It is the band's first full-length album with new lead guitarist Synyster Gates and bass guitarist Johnny Christ. ==Musical style== The record continues the metalcore sound the band had used on their previous album, ''Sounding the Seventh Trumpet'',〔 but features noticeably more clean vocals. Being the first release by the band to feature lead guitarist Synyster Gates, the record also features some guitar solos.〔(Allmusic review )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Avenged Sevenfold "Waking the Fallen" Album Review )〕 The record is notable among fans due to M. Shadows' slightly higher pitch in his voice and high notes he sings on songs like "I Won't See You Tonight" (both parts). The album also leans more towards heavy metal rather than punk rock.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Avenged Sevenfold )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waking the Fallen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
