Best Lesser Known Avenged Sevenfold Songs

The Top Ten
1 Second Heartbeat

Best Avenged Sevenfold Albums:

1. Waking the Fallen
2. City of Evil
3. Sounding the Seventh Trumpet
4. Nightmare
5. Diamonds in the Rough
6. Avenged Sevenfold
7. Hail To the King
I'll always love and support A7X, and I'm happy for them that the new album was the #1 album in several large countries. Personally I think their old stuff sounds so much more emotional and mature sounding than what they produce nowadays. The guitar solos in Hail To the King are hokey and sound like nothing but scalar runs. My favorite A7X guitar solos: end of M.I.A., end of And All Things Will End, Sidewinder (listen the solo backgrounds too, they're much more complex especially compared to Shepherd of Fire). The overall guitar work in Waking the Fallen and City of Evil is much stronger than what their newer albums. Newer A7X Songs I Still Like
1. Save Me
2. Buried Alive
3. Fiction

It is impossible to not tap your feet along to the double bass. This song pumps you up like no other

I love this song. I thing it is just amazingly done and I also suggest to listen to the demo version

It's long nice bass nice drums nice screams and a epic solo

2 I Won't See You Tonight, Pt. 1

Probably not their best song... But really, this song is really underrated, makes me wanna cry... And in my opinion this is the best song from "Waking the Fallen". Should have been at least 20 - 5 on the top ten list

This is easily their best song. The ending on this song is what makes it the best. This song probably has the best ending of any song ever on any song in any genre. The vocals and fade out in the last 2 minutes are actually insane. Not only the ending is great, but the message is also very powerful.

One of their best songs in my opinion. Looked on my ipod after about 7 months and it had something like 400 plays on it, absolute brilliant song with a lot of emotion

This is the absolute underdog in the division of depressing songs. It's porbably one of the most depressing of all time. The song is basically a suicide note put to the powerful sounds of A7x. My favorite A7x song of all time

3 M.I.A.

I don't know whether "Second Heartbeat" is "lesser known a7x song" or not... nevermind. M.I.A. is even better than it and deserve the top 1 place. Overshadowed by "Beast and the Harlot" and "Bat Country", wasn't even released as a single... but how awesome it is! Probably the best solo in a7x history and heart-moving vocals by M.Shadows. In my opinion it's their 4th best song (in total), losing only to "Bat Country", "Beast and the Harlot" and "Afterlife" ("So Far Away" is my 5th) and definitelly the best "lesser known" one.

Second place should go to "Blinded in Chains"... another obviously underrated gem from "City of Evil". If we count "Second Heartbeat", it's my 3rd place. If not, the 3rd place goes to "Sidewinder" (oh, another "City of Evil" song, this record was incredible). 4th/5th place should go to "And All Things Will End", way better than "Unholy Confessions" (and pretty much everything on "Waking the Fallen", not counting "Second Heartbeat" of course).

Other ...more

Honestly city of evil is their best album. I love every single track on it, and still have not gotten bored of it. Waking the fallen, in my opinion, had too much screaming, and M.Shadows vocals are wasted on them. They are much better suited as a hard rock band. Sadly enough they are reverting back to their metal days with the release of hail to the king...i actually liked where they were going with Nightmare, unlike most people :(

Really meaningful lyrics. I mean, out of all the songs about war out there, this one is a dark look at the morality and lingering effects of war. Plus, not only are the vocals, drums, bass and guitars spot on, the solo is godly.

The Best song they ever wrote in my opinion great intro with great fade out with a fantastic solo from Synyster gates in the middle what more could you want

4 Blinded in Chains

Second Heartbeat is great..
But BLINDED IN CHAINS!...
Man this song has got :
1. The best drum solo ever
2. The best bass solo ever
3. The best rhythm guitar work ever
4. The best lead guitar move ever
5. The best singing (incorporates singing, rapping, screaming).. That too very VIBRANT, faster, energetic ever...
.
.
Don't know why people love singles from this album..
Blinded in chains is (one of the) best song ever made in HISTORY!...

This song is really underrated, not the best song of A7x, though it is a good song. How is afterlife underrated, and why are people voting afterlife in this list? God hates us and Dear god should go up the list Vote other songs bastards don't vote afterlife, nightmare, beast and the harlot and other songs that are popular

I really love this song, no idea why its underrated like this but still... love the vocals, cool drums (really like the intro) and guitars as well. Everything works great together!

On a side note... Why the hell is Afterlife on this list. You realize that is like their most popular song right?

Great bass solo in this song
Love to hear Johnny Christ rock it out on this one. Wish they had more bass solos because they sound so thumpin!

5 Radiant Eclipse

Love this song, great opening and chorus. Read the lyrics with it to enjoy it to the very fullest. One of the best from Waking The Fallen.

Whoa! This is an epic song! I was blown away when I heard this. And IT IS EXTREMELY UNDERRATED!

This song is beast and obviosly pretty awesome

6 Dancing Dead

between this I like shattered by broken dreams.. in lyric side, I more like shattered by broken dreams, because it's like tell us at a7x that jimmy's left. but in music side, I like dancing dead, awesome

Out of all other great songs from a7x, this one is really simple and catchy! Can't stop listening to it from the first time heard it. Until now, probably one of my most favorite song to listen.

This song is amazing. Shads has a beautiful voice, amazing and catchy chorus, awesome riff, and a solo that will BLOW YOUR MIND!

This is propably the catchiest and one of the most underrated avenged sevenfold songs, propably because it's not from an album.

7 We Come Out at Night

I love all their lesser known songs and We Come Out At Night is my favourite. Most Underrated? Out of all the rest I don't know but this song is just perfect to me.

What a masterpiece!
Best song from before city of evil
So underrated people put this at number 1

Definitely the most lesser known song

The song that got me hooked.

8 Lost

Everything about this song is fantastic. The intro has the power of putting you in a calm state of mind for the rest of the song. The lyrics, guitar solo, outro, and chorus are all amazing too. I personally hate it when singers don't sound great so they resort to autotune, but in the case of this song, it's very strategic. It sounds amazing, as does everything else. It's a shame that this became a deep track.

the beginning reminds me of Dragonforce, but its definitely one of the best ''unknown'' A7X song and it has a really good and catchy chorus, just love it

Probably, in my opinion, their best song. Even though the chorus is autotuned, the verses are all amazing M. Shadows sings so powerfully its almost unreal.

Great Twin Guitars for the majority of the song, impossible not to love. The Rev's singing in the chorus makes me happy.

9 Remenissions

Sick drumming, creative guitar playing, poetic lyrics, and a unique chorus that ties the whole song together. This is not only my favorite lesser known Avenged Sevenfold song, but possibly my favorite of all time.

Amazing intro, amazing outro, deep chorus lyrics, should be played in every Avenged Sevenfold's tour.

Absolutely love this song. The lyrics speak to me, and that's what I look for in a song. Should be better known, but the few who know it will agree that this song is breathtaking.

This song is just awesome, the sick as vocals of M. Shadows when he both screams and sings is just amazing. Definitely deserves to be in the real top 10. So underrated

10 St. James
The Contenders
11 Turn the Other Way

Possibly the Best song from their first album. Even if the album is nowhere near the best overall, this song does deserve a listen

12 Shattered by Broken Dreams

This song is the best it means a lot and generates a self explanatory image

Very underrated, thoughtful and heartwarming lyrics. Very good song

13 God Hates Us

I love the second verse and the whole song kind of sounds like damage inc or something Metallica opener/closer

Come on your insulting a7x and the fans... are you really a metal fan? If you don't like this song so you are not a r a roll fan

If you heard this song you heard the awesome guitar riff at the begining I mean pure gold!

14 Until The End

I have been listening to Avenged Sevenfold for over three years now. I never bothered to listen to the 'Diamonds in the Rough' album. When I finally did I came across this song and fell in love with it. This is my second favorite slow song with meaning after So Far Away. I am very disappointed that I haven't came across this song sooner.

Just listen to this song and you wont regret it.

15 Demons

Like fiction, this one has a creepy yet emotional atomsphere. It is really a great listen that deserves much more publicity than it has. Definitely top ten material in my opinion, none of that afterlife or waking the fallen crap

16 4 A.M.

This song is basically unheard of. But I think it is a really good song. It is just something about this that is really good.

I'm surprised practically nobody knows it exists. It's amazing.

17 Warmness on the Soul

"Your hazel green tint eyes watching every moove I make..." come on, it's a classic! Sadly, it's very underrated.

By the way this is one of their most well known songs but one of my favourites though.

Most people don't know this song but I think it's their best

18 Strength of the World

Awesome guitar work. Sure the vocals during the chorus are kind of terrible, but other then that this song is awesome!

Just a beautiful song.

19 Afterlife

I don't even know why this song is on this list, it's probably there most known and popular song

"Got nothing against you" I sure won't miss you!
One song I never skip in a playlist.

Come on, who ever thinks this is a lesser known song has not listened to A7X

Why is this song included here? This is the best song ever.

20 Clairvoyant Disease

This song is unreal! I am one of the biggest A7X fans ever, and this is definitely one of the greatest songs that I have heard form them other than Chapter Four. CHAPTER FOUR MUST BE ON THIS LIST!

What? this song is so amazing, just can't help myself falling in love with this song... it's one of my favourite avenged sevenfold songs and one of the most underrated song as well

Great song second best song on waking the fallen album the best is obviously unholy confessions still clairvoyant disease is great

Much better than Second Heartbeat, very very underrated song in my opinion. Listen to this song and you'll realize it's really amazing.

21 Tension
22 Lips of Deceit

This song has such a badass instrumental, It's just so sick and Shads kills the screaming like always.

23 Crossroads

Great song from the diamonds in the rough album. How is aferlife underrated... This is a list for voting for underrated songs not most listened to

A7X foREVer

24 Nightmare

This is a good song. But its not underrated. Why put here.?

25 And All Things Will End

Probably my favorite when I listened to this for the first time, the mix of both the acoustic and the elctric guitars is just perfect. Plus the incredible duo parts in it, with a touch of one of Syns most beautiful solos, just makes this song prefect.

Easily one of Syn's best solos. Great, Great, vastly under rated song
