Also known as (A7x)
They're the most badass Metalcore band of the modern era.
Composed originally from Jimmy Sullivan (The Rev), Matthew Sanders (M. Shadows), Zachary Baker (Zacky Vengeance) and Matt Wendt who soon left to be replaced by Brian Haner (Synyster Gates). They also in 2003 got Jonothan Seward (Johnny Christ) which completed their classic line up.
Their most famous songs are Beast and the Harlot, Afterlife, A Little Piece of Heaven, Hail to the King, The Stage, Nightmare, Unholy Confessions and more.
Their last major line up change was in 2009 when their amazing drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan died from a drug overdose. This lead to them trying many different drummers, but settling with Brooks Wackerman (real name) in 2015.

Terms have been misleading on this band so let's set the record straight; Avenged Sevenfold is NOT for a fact a metal band or nor do they claim to be a metalcore or hardcore band. They have stated before that they do not appreciate the mislabeling and that they merely write whatever style their heart's desire. Many supposed fans have given this amazing band a bad name and image by claiming that they are trying to be metal or that they think they are. It is unfortunate that many fans open their mouths trying to defend this rock band before knowing what they are talking about. It is important to look into the bands musical roots and their intentions before saying ANYTHING, whatsoever!

Okay, I saw people saying God randomly said "Murder will come on you Avenged Sevenfold"... uhhh... what? Here's the real definition.
The band name is from Chapter Four of Genesis (Hence the song "chapter four") in which Cain kills his brother Abel, because Cain feels God is not as interested in his burnt offerings. When God finds out what has happened, he sends Cain to live away for the rest of his life. God says if any man is to hurt Cain, he shall be avenged sevenfold.
This is the story where the kickass band got their name from.

A piece of crap band that claims they are "metal". They dress like fags, play faggot music, the singer sings like a girl, and their 12 year old fans think they're all hard and tough wearing their "Avenged Faggotfold" t-shirts.
