With over 20 million records sold worldwide and two consecutive No. 1 albums on Billboard 200 (2010’s “Nightmare” and 2013’s “Hail To The King”), Avenged Sevenfold have established themselves as one of the most important and successful acts in the music world over the last 25 years.
Formed in 1999 as a metalcore band, M. Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance, Johnny Christ and Brooks Wackerman‘s musical identity quickly evolved beyond the confines of the metal scene. Their breakthrough came with the release of “City of Evil” (2005) and the anthemic single “Bat Country”, and the rest is history.
A7X (as they are known to Deathbats, their hardcore fans around the world) have gone on to dominate with their next releases, racking up billions of views and streams and leaving a prestigious legacy that has secured their place in every prestigious list of the best metal bands of all time.
Beyond their great songs, however, Avenged Sevenfold are equally known for their spectacular live shows, selling out arenas and headlining the world’s most prestigious metal and rock festivals.
