No one with even a passing familiarity with rock music can be unaware of the tragic death of Avenged Sevenfold’s drummer Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan late last year. Now the Californians have returned with their fifth album Nightmare, and while not even we are big enough bastards to not have anything other than great sympathy for the band losing their friend, the record must be judged purely on the music.
