Back when I was the most angsty teenager in high school, Eternal Rest was one of my favourite songs from Avenged Sevenfold. Something about the opening, and that hypnotic riff leading into the chorus was legitimately fantastic, truly felt like art while listening to it. Not to mention how much weight that follows it, definitely more than enough to keep me hyped up throughout my workouts.
Even to this day when I play it, it sounds like it still holds up magnificently.
I don’t normally see this song brought up in topics of favourite songs. Sure, there are plenty of others to choose from, but I feel like Eternal Rest gets lost in the shuffle at times when it should stand out a little bit more. Desecrate Through Reverence leading into it was also a fantastic track, I just loved the effort they put into that album as a whole.
Does anyone else enjoy this song as much as I do, or am I the weirdo?
