The album that carried a death and a deadline: completed after drummer The Rev's passing with Dream Theater's Portnoy filling in, Nightmare channels grief into Avenged Sevenfold's most focused writing — "So Far Away" mourns openly, "Buried Alive" builds from ballad to blitz. Melodrama as coping mechanism, executed with real stakes.
