Avenged Sevenfold's biography

The members of metalcore outfit Avenged Sevenfold were still in high school when they formed in 1999 in Huntington Beach, CA. Still, it didn't take long for M. Shadows (vocals), Zacky Vengeance (guitar), Synyster Gates (guitar), the Reverend (drums), and Johnny Christ (bass) to make an impression with their aggressive hybrid of metal and punk-pop. The band debuted in July 2001 with Sounding The Seventh Trumpet (Good Life), and followed two years later with the Hopeless release Waking The Fallen before jumping to Warner Bros. for June 2005's City Of Evil. That summer they supported the album with a live run on the Warped Tour's main stage. ~ Christina Fuoco, All Music Guide http://music.yahoo.com/ar-283793-bio--Avenged-Sevenfold
