Background

[edit | edit source]

An early version of "Second Heartbeat" was recorded in 2002, and appeared on the compilation "Hopelessly Devoted To You Vol. 4".[3][4] This early version was shorter and faster.[5] The band showed this version of the song to producer Mudrock to convince him to produce their second album,[6] which he would end up doing.[7] It was later included on the 2014 Waking the Fallen: Resurrected reissue. In the band's early career, it was a live staple.[8]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

"Second Heartbeat" is widely regarded as one of the band's best songs.[9][10] In 2020, Louder Sound and Kerrang ranked the song at number two and number ten, respectively, on their lists of the 20 greatest Avenged Sevenfold songs.[11][12] Return of Rock also ranked it as the best song from its parent album.[13]
