Avenged Sevenfold (also known as A7X) is a metalcore band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1999.

Avenged Sevenfold, the best band ever, hails from Orange County, CA. The band is a hardcore band, that has more recently become more of a full-on metal band. The lineup includes:

Matt Shadows- Lead Vocals
Synyster Gates- Lead Guitars
Zacky Vengeance- Rhythm Guitars
Johnny Christ- Bass
The Rev- Drums

The band has released three full length CDs to date. 2001's "Sounding The Seventh Trumpet", 2003's "Waking The Fallen", and 2005's "City of Evil". The songs they have released include "Darkness Surrounding", "Unholy Confessions", "Chapter Four", "Burn It Down", and "Bat Country". No band can ever remove Avenged Sevenfold from the spot of being the best band ever.

The best band ever, still mourning the passing of their drummer who is foREVer in all our hearts. They recently topped the charts with an amazing single named "Nightmare".

A hard rock/ metal band from Long Beach, California. Earlier albums were heavily hardcore/ punk and strain metal, but they since evolved into a more mainstream and radio- friendly metal and hard rock band, and their influences, like Metallica and Guns and Roses, shine through . There are a few odd songs here and there, with Dear God being country and Save Me being more progressive metal, however the genre hardly matters as they perform all equally well. They also give an extraordinary live show, although Matt doesn't scream anymore, so earlier songs are modified for clean vocals when played live.
No matter what kind of music you like, Avenged Sevenfold is just a great band.

An absolutely hardcore, badass, extremly talented band from Huntington Beach, CA. Their name is commonly abbreviated to A7X.

Band Members: M. Shadows (vocals), The Reverend (drummer), Synyster Gates (lead guitarist), Zacky Vengeance (rhythm guitarist), and Johnny Christ (bassist).

Their first album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet was released through Hopeless Records in 1999. It features the song Warmness on the Soul (amazing). Most of the songs on this album are hardcore and very metal!

Avenged Sevenfold's second album, Waking the Fallen, was released in 2003 through Hopeless Records as well. It features the hit Unholy Confessions (masterpiece).

Their breakthrough album, City of Evil, was released in 2005 through the major record label Warner Brothers. The single Bat Country greatly contributed to the success.

They just recently released their self-titled album in 2007 featuring the single Almost Easy. This is by far their most unique album. It takes elements from country, hip-hop, classical, and of course rock music.

Pinkly Smooth is the side project of Avenged Sevenfold's drummer the Reverend. He has an incredible voice. He has significant vocal roles in A7X's latest album.
