Think you know hard rock? Think again, Avenged Sevenfold (A7X), is the greatest rock band hands down! Formmed in 1999 in Huntington Beach, CA, A7X has taken the rock industry by storm. First they started off playing metalcore with their first album "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet" now, I'm not a big screamo fan, but I have to admit, they did a pretty dang good job with it. In 2003 A7X produced their second album, "Waking the Fallen" once again with the metalcore feel only this time, it was a little more rythmic only problem was that they weren't in the mainstream just yet. That all changed in 2005, Avenged Sevenfold produced their hit album "City of Evil" and I must admit it is fantastic! They ditched the whole metalcore genre for a more hard rock genre. I'm not bias to hard rock music, but I have to say that A7X made the BEST move by doing that. The hit single from, City of Evil, 'Bat Country' killled the rock industry! They did it once again in late 2007 with their self titled album, it was epic! Not only did Avenged Sevenfold for bring their game, they gave their fans a twist. The last two tracks (A Little Piece of Heaven and Dear God) on the album were phenomenal! Sevenfold introduced a whole new way of music! They added an opera feel using organs, trumpets, pianos, and they even brought out an acousic guitar! Avenged Sevenfold is the greatest rock band ever! Sadly to say, in the making for their fifth album, A7X lost their drummer, James Owen Sullivan(The Rev), news about the upcoming album being published has not yet been confirmed. Avenged Sevenfold is the rock band of the decade - without a doubt. So now, if you like hard rock and if you like long guitar solos, I recommend you to listen to Avenged Sevenfold.
