Buried Alive

"Buried Alive" by Avenged Sevenfold is a heavy metal track from the band's fifth studio album, Nightmare, released as the album's fourth and final single on September 20, 2011. Much of the music was written by the band's late drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, giving the song a deeply personal significance within the Avenged Sevenfold catalog. Running over six minutes, the track features dynamic shifts between clean and heavy sections, making it a rewarding and technically varied piece to study on electric guitar.

  • The song runs approximately 6 minutes and 44 seconds, featuring multiple distinct sections that challenge guitarists across different playing styles.
  • Most of the music was composed by late drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, who passed away on December 28, 2009.
  • Singer M. Shadows has publicly stated he is extremely proud of "Buried Alive," underlining its emotional importance to the band.
