Huntington Beach, California, United States (1999 – present)

Avenged Sevenfold is a band from Huntington Beach, California, United States. They started out as a band, but have since moved towards .

The band was formed in 1999. Avenged Sevenfold’s first album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, was recorded when the band members were eighteen years old. It was originally released on their first label, Good Life Recordings. After lead guitarist Synyster Gates (also known by Brian Haner Jr.) joined the band, the introductory track “To End The Rapture” was re-recorded with Gates playing, and the album was re-released on Hopeless Records. Their follow-up album, entitled Waking the Fallen, was also released on Hopeless Records and was awarded a positive rating in Rolling Stone magazine. Shortly after its release, Avenged Sevenfold were signed to Warner Bros. Records.

City of Evil, the third album which was released on June 7 2005, strayed from , and instead headed more towards and adds a harder rock sound with influences ranging from various bands. During the recording of City of Evil, M. Shadows’ vocal styling changed to focus more on melodic singing rather than hardcore screaming. Some cite the change in vocal style as consequence of vocal chord damage (that resulted in subsequent surgery) during a tour supporting Waking the Fallen. Shadows denies the injury as being the reason. In the “All Excess” DVD, producer Mudrock clarifies this subject and affirms this is not the reason why the band changed style.

    This is my last, this has got a little boring now. Truth be told, I really don't care about A7X or its fan base, you can listen to them as much as you wish, it would be wrong to judge either of you for it. I do personally think A7X are terrible, and most of their fan base are emotionally unstable children, but you guys are mature and decent. I'm surprised you even replied to my comment. I'm just a troll, this is a pass time, when I'm bored I come here and argue. You know how defensive people get over their music taste. Nonetheless, both of you, take it easy and farewell. :)

    Pretty inspirational speech there, Alexander, a tear came to my eye. You two can continue to oppress your defensive speeches to me for aeons to come, you're still A7X fans, and I stand by my first comment on here. I'm baked right now, I'll write a longer more intellectual response later. I bid you a temporary farewell, kids.

    если бы вы писали на русском языке, я бы с удовольствием поболтала и поспорила с Серьезным Джеком , но, к сожалению, моя учительница английского была слишком глупа, а гуглом-переводчиком мне пользоваться стыдно, как жаль :(
