Comprising vocalist M. Shadows, lead guitarist Synyster Gates, rhythm guitarist Zacky Vengeance, bassist Johnny Christ and drummer The Reverend, Avenged Sevenfold formed in the summer of 1999 in Huntington Beach, California USA, while still in high school; the quintet took the band's name from the Biblical story of Cain and Abel and created their unique sound, blending Metal, Emo and Punk-Rock.

They recorded their debut album, 2001's "Sounding The Seventh Trumpet", when they were 18 years old. Since then, they've made the road their home, hooking up with heavy-Rock acts such as Shadows Fall and Mushroomhead.
August 2003 saw the release of the band's sophomore effort, "Waking The Fallen", which cracked the American Top Independent Albums chart, peaking at #12.
Avenged Sevenfold unleashed its third full-length CD and Warner Bros. Records debut, "City Of Evil", in June 2005; it reached the #30 position on The Billboard 200 Albums chart spawning the smash Rock radio hit "Bat Country", the song peaked at #2 on the Active Rock chart and at #6 on The Modern Rock Tracks. The album, which managed to attain gold certification, also included two more Hot Mainstream Rock top 20 hits: "Beast And The Harlot" and "Seize The Day".

For the selft-titled follow-up, the band gets even harder and heavier; "Avenged Sevenfold", the group's first album to be self-produced, was released in October 2007, it includes the Hot Mainstream Rock top 20 hit "Almost Easy".
