Avenged Sevenfold is an American country band from Huntington Beach, California.

Biography

The band was formed in 1999. Avenged Sevenfold's first album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet was originally released on their first label, Good Life Recordings. After lead guitarist Synyster Gates joined the band (right after Sounding the Seventh Trumpet was recorded in 2000), 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 was signed to Warner Bros. Records. Their first release with WBR was "City of Evil" in 2005

Avenged Sevenfold released their first DVD, All Excess, on July 17, 2007. The DVD includes a documentary and live footage dating back to 1999 along with music videos and the making of the Seize The Day music video. It is a region-free DVD and is approximately 156 minutes long. Before the actual release of the DVD, there were several theatrical premiers around the United States on July 16, 2007.

The self titled album was released on October 30, 2007 to early success, debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200 with approximately 94,000 copies sold. Two singles, "Critical Acclaim" and "Almost Easy" along with its music video, were released prior to the album. The third single, "Afterlife" and its video was released in January 2008. A third music video was made for "A Little Piece of Heaven", it is currently available on iTunes. The rumoured fourth single is the country style song "Dear God". A new single has been released for all those who are members of the Avenged Sevenfold Fan Site called "Undone in Time".
