apparently it does contain the full album with it. hrm.


While it wasn't as popular as ''City of Evil'' would make them, it scored their first ever big hit, "Unholy Confessions", which gave them their first music video and is still the most well known song off of the album. In 2014, it was given somewhat of an UpdatedRerelease with ''Waking the Fallen: Resurrected'', which includes demos and live performances of songs from the album.

The album is still {{Metalcore}} for a good portion, and still has dry production, but the band starts adding a lot more new elements on this album. There aren't as many HarshVocals, and the songs are bigger all around (Longer, with more complex structuring). Elements from future albums like ''Music/CityOfEvil'' can be found here, like certain speed metal centered songs like "Second Heartbeat" and "Eternal Rest", although the album is able to retain it's own sound that was never really replicated. It also hints at some growth for the band, with "I Won't See You Tonight" being about the suicide attempt of former bassist Justin Sane.

''Waking the Fallen'' is the second studio album by the American HeavyMetal band Music/AvengedSevenfold, distributed through Hopeless Records and released in 2003. It's the band's first album with band mainstays Synyster Gates and Johnny Christ.

The album is still {{Metalcore}} for a good portion, and still has dry production, but the band starts adding a lot more of new elements on this album. There aren't as many HarshVocals, and the songs are bigger all around (Longer, with more complex structuring). Elements from future albums like ''Music/CityOfEvil'' can be found here, like certain speed metal centered songs like "Second Heartbeat" and "Eternal Rest", although the album is able to retain it's own sound that was never really replicated. It also hints at some growth for the band, with "I Won't See You Tonight" being about the suicide attempt of former bassist Justin Sane.

While it wasn't as popular as ''City of Evil'' would make them, it scored their first ever big hit, "Unholy Confessions", which gave them their first music video and is still the most well known song off of the album. In 2014, it was given an UpdatedRerelease with ''Waking the Fallen: Resurrected'', which includes demos and live performances of songs from the album.

!! ''Waking the Fallen'' contains examples of..
* AlbumIntroTrack: The intro, about 2 minutes long, which also serves as the title track. The intro sings about waking the dead.
* AlternateAlbumCover: [[https://preview.redd.it/8bpv5ghoph141.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=94a26715a2776f9df27095872185795b0ac4e9bc Unveiled inside the booklet]].
* AlternateMusicVideo: The music video for "Unholy Confessions" has two versions. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSaBveD7zvA The first]], and the more prominently known one, is a compilation of live performances and whatnot. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FZlG8Jztxk The second]] is a PerformanceVideo, with the band in an empty warehouse with a blue lighting filter.
* AsTheGoodBookSays: The Cain and Abel story also serves as the basis for the lyrics of "Chapter Four".
* BookEnds: "I Won't See You Tonight Part 2" starts and ends with the same distorted riff.
* CainAndAbel: "Chapter Four" is entirely about the story.
* ChangingChorus: The final line of the chorus in "Remenissions" changes from "Keep away from me" to "Confused" upon the second chorus.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Although the album has more in line with later albums than ''[[Music/SoundingTheSeventhTrumpet Seventh Trumpet]]'', it still has the same HarshVocals and somewhat-shoddy normal vocals. Matt's voice ''has'' improved into what we know him as, but he still can't hit high notes very well on this album.
* EpicRocking: The songs on this album are much longer than the previous one. Whereas ''Seventh Trumpet'''s songs were mostly 4 minutes, this album usually has 5 and 6 minute songs, with three songs diving into 7, 8, and even 9 minutes.
* HarshVocals: Like ''Seventh Trumpet'', Matt's vocals dive into this at times, although it's a bit less prominent here.
* GriefSong: "I Won't See You Tonight, Parts I and II", written for former bassist Justin Sane, who left the band after a failed suicide attempt (and medicines prescribed to prevent another) left him psychologically unfit to tour. The first part revolves around Justin ending himself and Syn finding him, and the second part is Matt's reaction upon finding out.
* LastNoteNightmare: "And All Things Will End" ends in a solo that's increasingly off-key and slows down into a nightmarish cacophony.
* {{Metalcore}}: Their last album related to the genre, although they incorporate their own, different style into it.
* MinimalisticCoverArt: The cover art is simply a darkened Deathbat with the album name and logo of the band.
* MinisculeRocking: "Waking the Fallen" (1:42)
* MoodWhiplash: The out-of-nowhere ballad in the middle of "And All Things Will End", a mostly quiet part coming after a heavy chorus.
* NewSoundAlbum: While retaining the Metalcore elements of it's predecessor, ''Waking the Fallen'' has some of it's own style incorporated into it, with longer tracks, deeper songs, and not as much HarshVocals.
* TitleTrack: Which is also the intro.
* UpdatedRerelease: The band released ''Waking The Fallen: Resurrected'' in 2014, which includes a new cover art, as well demos and live versions of songs from the album.
