Nightmare is the title track from Avenged Sevenfold's fifth studio album Nightmare, released in 2010. The American heavy metal band wrote it as a dark, theatrical opener, and the song became one of their most recognisable releases. Its distinctive intro, moving from an eerie melody to full guitars and drums, made it easy to excerpt online. Short clips spread through gaming videos, edits and soundboards, where the build and drop are now reused far beyond the original fanbase as a shorthand for something ominous arriving.

The opening riff and scream from Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold, a heavy metal intro used for horror edits, gaming montages and dramatic reveals.
This clip captures the tense opening of Nightmare, starting with a dark, music-box style melody before distorted guitars and pounding drums crash in. The contrast between the quiet, unsettling intro and the sudden heavy riff creates an instant sense of dread and release. The shouted title moment adds aggression and recognition for fans. It works because it builds suspense in just a few seconds, then delivers a payoff that feels cinematic, chaotic and perfect for a villain entrance or horror reveal.
