Song of the Day 03/03/11: Avenged Sevenfold – Fiction

There’s a piano in the main area of the building i study in for exams right now and the coolest part is that random students will sit down and play, and when theyre good, its a real blessing. While sitting there listening, it made me wish i could play Fiction on that piano for everyone to hear. Fiction is the last song written by former Avenged Sevenfold drummer the Rev before his untimely death last year. Its a beautiful song, though extremely eerie considering the lyrical content. They also play the revs recorded vocals over it (though he isnt the bands singer) making for an extra powerful song. You really just have to listen to it to understand but the fact that the Rev died right after calling this song his masterpiece makes it mean so much more to me.
