Avenged Sevenfold

Avenged Sevenfold frontman M Shadows tells us about his musical highlights of 2009. We asked Avenged Sevenfold frontman M Shadows to comment on his favourite albums from 2009 and here’s what he told us: Avenged Sevenfold will be releasing a new album in 2010.

Great party last night. Zacky was a young Walt Disney. Syn came as Zacky. Rev and Johnny came as Bert and Ernie. Shad wore a hoodie? And of course I went as a priest. Let's hope we get to see some pictures soon! Shadows' costume sounds rad! ;) As for Syn, he is no stranger to dressing up as Zacky:

10. Marilyn Manson - "This is Halloween" (cover) 9. Old Man's Child - "Towards Eternity" 8. Michael Jackson �€“ "Thriller" 7. Nick Cave - "Song of Joy" 6. AFI - "Fall Children" 5. Avenged Sevenfold (of course) - "A Little Piece of Heaven" 4. The Residents - "Harry the Head"

I ran into this old article about Avenged Sevenfold back in 2003, right after the release of "Waking The Fallen . It features pieces of an interview with Zacky and kind of describes them as a band at that point. It was a fun read and it's always nice to be reminded of the fact that these guys have al...

Avenged Sevenfold are Guns n Roses gone speed metal. Ridiculously brilliant guitar solos, extraordinary double bass pedal drumming and songs lasting for ten minutes that have about four different choruses each. It is over the top, it is absurd, it is amazing. The band includes the wonderf...

Avenged Sevenfold Following the sadness of NIN’s last ever UK show isn’t the most enviable of tasks but thankfully, it’s one that Avenged Sevenfold are more than capable of. Hitting the stage with all of the gusto of a band in their pomp, A7X surge into the hard-and-heavy ‘Critical Acclaim...

In an interview with Blistering.com, M. Shadows commented on whether he was worried about backlash from older fans, and if the new direction of the band would be perceived as A7X selling out. It was clear that the band would continually make whatever music they wanted, with Shadows saying: "...

Examiner.com had an exclusive interview with lead singer James Hart of Burn Halo recently. As you probably know, our very own Synyster Gates worked on two songs ("Dirty Little Girl" and "Anejo") of Burn Halo's debut album and it's always nice to see that he (and Avenged Sevenfold) gets a sho...

Avenged Sevenfold has always been a band obsessed with retribution, as their name and recorded output show. Peculiarly for a monstrous metal band, the members seem to have no problem turning a reflective eye inward rather than, but occasionally with, a vicious eye pointed at the outside...

After a few years of retrospective, my opinion of Avenged Sevenfold remains about the same. I would probably keep the rating the same, but I don't think it is the weakest album by the band anymore. That honor would go to debut Sounding The Seventh Trumpet, which may not win me any favors from th...

If you need to have make-up and crappy names like Synyster Gates to sell records, then you shouldn't be here. That's not rock'n'roll to me. Arena rock maybe, but not real rock'n'roll. If you're basing yourself on how cool you are or how many girls you ...

Avenged Sevenfold’s performance saved the night with its abundant energy and flawless performance. The band had the audience’s complete attention from the first organ chord of opener “Critical Acclaim” to the last note of encore “A Little Piece Of Heaven.”

Remember what Matt said on the Avenged Sevenfold MVI? It was something along the lines of: "We are Avenged Sevenfold. We can make whatever we want." Yet there are some sounds that are typical Avenged Sevenfold sounds, says Synyster Gates.

A7X played many other fan favorites including "Beast and the Harlot", "Scream" and their most recent, more mellow, single "Dear God." The band returned for their encore, playing their most story-like, "A Little Piece of Heaven." Although slightly obscure, the song serves a perfect port...

Then there was the sound -- Saving Abel's southern-influenced classic rock, Papa Roach's nu-metal rap-punk, Avenged Sevenfold's 1970s-influenced heavy metal, Buckcherry's groove-heavy party anthems. The only thing louder was the screaming crowd.

Avenged Sevenfold, or A7X for short, came into fruition in 1999 in Huntington Beach, California. At the time, neither Johnny Christ nor Gates was in the band. Those two would join shortly around the release of Avenged Sevenfold's first album, 2001's Sounding the Seventh Trumpet (Gates on...

Once again a circle of musical inspiration and influence took place in the great world of music, because we all know that Avenged Sevenfold is a big fan of Metallica. And when Metallica said that they were inspired and influenced by Avenged Sevenfold, the world is just perfect!

By Diesel The Confession may be an unfamiliar name in the music scene but with their debut album Requiem things are going to change. These guys are not metal-core, hard-core or anything-core.
