Marked by its darker tones and emotional depth—and as the first album completed after the passing of drummer Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan, with Mike Portnoy stepping in—Nightmare blends haunting orchestrations and melodic riffs with blistering metalcore energy on tracks like “Nightmare,” “Welcome to the Family,” and “So Far Away.”
It debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200, selling 163,000 copies in its first week, and was certified Platinum by the RIAA, solidifying Avenged Sevenfold’s status among modern metal’s elite.
