{"product_id":"avenged-sevenfold-hail-to-the-king-2lp-gold","title":"Avenged Sevenfold - Hail To The King [2LP Gold]","description":"\u003cp\u003eAvenged Sevenfold paid homage to the heavy metal giants who raised them on Hail to the King, their 2013 album, presented here as a gold vinyl double LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir sixth studio album was produced by Mike Elizondo and marked a deliberate turn away from the sprawling, progressive arrangements of earlier records toward lean, groove-heavy classic metal. It was the only album to feature drummer Arin Ilejay, and the first made without any musical contributions from the late Jimmy \"The Rev\" Sullivan, which gives it the feel of a band rebuilding on solid, old-school foundations. The band openly wore its influences on its sleeve, trading complexity for punch and choruses built to be bellowed back by festival crowds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShepherd of Fire opens the record with an ominous, slow-building march, while the title track gallops on one of Synyster Gates' most memorable riffs. This Means War slows the tempo to a crushing stomp, and Requiem leans hard into gothic grandeur. Throughout, M. Shadows sings with a gritty, commanding swagger that suits the material perfectly, and the rhythm section keeps everything locked tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBig, bold and built for arenas, it's a love letter to the records that made metal feel larger than life. Spread across two gold discs, it looks every bit as regal as it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57351057834289,"sku":"093624854449","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Avenged_Sevenfold-Hail_To_The_King_2LP_Gold_e87cb162-9b32-4f6e-9e64-b2574920f5d4.jpg?v=1793980560","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/avenged-sevenfold-hail-to-the-king-2lp-gold","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
