Songfacts®:

Around this time, Avenged Sevenfold frontman M. Shadows was writing a lot of songs about mass destruction, often using the Bible as reference. "Remenissions" appears to be about war, and how humans have a tendency to kill one another.
The title doesn't show up in the lyric and isn't a real word. "Remenissions" could be a play on the word "premonition," a feeling that something is about to happen. Thus a "remenission" could be something we see happening over and over but can't stop. It also sounds like a book from the Bible, which as we know is a source of inspiration for M. Shadows.

Salvador from Mountain View, OkAvenged Sevenfold Rules!1 Take anyone away (Rest in peace Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan)from the band its not Avenged Sevenfold. Syn Gates is Great and all but without guitar rifts with zack its completely different, also no one screams like M. Shadows.
Janae from Riverside, CaYou know I have been a fan of A7X since the beginning. Growing up in So.Cal with these guys has been amazing. Please tell me that someone else (other than myself) knows that Syn was NOT an original member of the band!! He only played on "To End The Rapture" on STST album. Then joined after on WTF. Zacky is an amazing guitar player (maybe not as "badass" as Syn only cause he went to MIT) I thought he did perfectly fine by himself on STST. Am I wrong? And YES A7X would not be who they are without the members they have today! =)
Chauncey from Omha, Nezacky is nowhere near as good as Synyster. That's for damn sure. A7X is definately not a one man band. If they would lose Shadows, then the vocals would just be different. That's pretty much it.
Cory from Crawfordville, FlYeah it's not a 1 man band. The things that make the band in my opinion are Shadow's singing, but a HUGE part is syn's guitar.
Chucky from North Sydney, Canadai agreeit isnt 1 aman band zacky vengence is 1 of the most amazing guitarists playing right now but without shadows it wuld be notthe same band a7x is known for shadows voice and his raspy vocal voice and his amazing lyric writeing it woudntb the same at all
James from Aurora, CoAvenged Isnt A One Man Band Dumbass, There's Guitars, Bass and Drums...If Shadows Isnt In The Band Its Still Gonna Be A7X, Just Different...I Was Suprised To Find Out That Shads Could Scream And Sing normally (when I Found That Out That Is)
Phil from LondonOf course it's Shadows. There's no A7x without him. Shadows is amazing, can't wait to see him again. The song is pretty much about the ability for humans to turn on each other but there's also questions about wether people would be different being given different ways to live by God.
Angela from Sacramento, CaIs M. Shadows singing this? It doesn't really sound like him...
