Команда "Avenged Sevenfold" была сформирована летом 1999 года в Хантингтон-Бич, Калифорния. В состав группы вошли: вокалист M. Shadows, гитарист Zacky Vengeance, барабанщик The Reverend, басист Johnny Christ и гитарист Synyster Gates, которые на тот момент являлись учениками средней школы.
Летом 2001 года музыканты, которым едва исполнилось 18 лет, собственными усилиями записали, спродюсировали и выпустили дебютный альбом “Sounding the Seventh Trumpet", которому предшествовал выпуск мини-альбома "Warmness on the Soul". Невообразимая смесь из метала, панка, емо и хардкора пришлась по вкусу лэйблу "Hopeless Records", который не долго думая предложил "Avenged Sevenfold" контракт и спустя два года выпустил альбом "Waking the Fallen". Наибольший успех, музыканты обрели благодаря своим концертным действам, где делили сцену с такими коллективами, как "Shadows Fall" и "Mushroomhead".

Кто-нибудь тут кроме меня эту группу слушает?
А насчет их песен-я больше всего обожаю Charter Four.Помнится,когда я впервые слушала песню Strength of the world,одновременно заглядывая в текст,то я вообще расплакалась-то ли от счастья,то ли от того, о чем песня.

Летом 2003 года группа "Avenged Sevenfold" засветилась на знаменитом фестивале "Warped Tour". Спустя два года, перебравшись на более крупный лэйбл "Warner Bros. Records", музыканты представили очередной лонгплэй "City of Evil". После выпуска пластинки, летом этого же года, музыканты совершили ряд гастрольных туров в его поддержку, включая очередное выступление на "Warped Tour", но на этот раз уже на главной сцене фестиваля.

Avenged Sevenfold's first album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, was recorded when the band members were eighteen years old. It was released originally on their first label, Good Life Recordings. At this point their sound was mostly a mix of hardcore and metalcore along with some skate punk elements (most notably on the song "Streets"). After lead guitarist Synyster Gates joined the band, the intro 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 and was awarded a positive rating in Rolling Stone magazine. Shortly after its release, Avenged Sevenfold were signed to Warner Bros. Records. In an interview, Gates explained his style of play, saying the guitar harmonies are seemingly random, but when put together with the main riff, they make musical sense.
City of Evil, released on June 7, 2005, strays from metalcore, heading more towards heavy metal and adds a more hard rock sound with obvious influences ranging from various bands, just looking at the artwork depicts some NWOBHM influence the band has incepted. Although the band have been labeled metal, metalcore, emo, and hard rock in many publications, the band themselves claim they are a "heavy-metal" band and have no musical similarities to metalcore in any way, although this is heavily debated by their peers. During the recording of City of Evil, M. Shadows' vocal styling changed to focus more on melodic singing rather than hardcore screaming. M. Shadows had minor surgery on his vocal cords, but he has claimed this was not responsible for the band's change of musical style. He says the purpose was to remove the band from a genre that was "dying."
The band's name is a reference to the book of Genesis in the Bible and the story of Cain and Abel, where Cain is punished to live in exile, alone and miserable. Anyone who relieved Cain of his misery by killing him would have "vengeance taken upon him sevenfold." The title of Avenged Sevenfold's song "Chapter Four" references Genesis IV, the chapter of the Bible in which the story of Cain and Abel takes place. The song's subject also appears to be this story. "Beast and the Harlot", yet another song derived from the Bible, comes from the book of Revelation and refers to the punishment of Babylon the Great, world empire and seat of false religion. Another Bible reference occurs in the song The Wicked End. In the song, several times it is said "dust the apple off, savor each bite, and deep inside you know Adam was right." making reference to Eve eating the forbidden fruit. Although the band's title and members' stage names make obvious references to religion, Shadows stated in an interview that they are "not really religious at all." "Anyone that read the lyrics and really knew anything about us, they would know we're not promoting either", he said. "That's one thing about this band that I love is that we never really shove any kind of, like, political or religious beliefs on people. We just, the music's there to entertain and maybe thought-provoking on both sides, but we don't try to, like, really shove anything down anyone's throat. There's too many bands that do that nowadays, I think." [1]
The song "Bat Country" is a reference to the book "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" . The song is dedicated the author of the book, the late Hunter S. Thompson.
Their song "Blinded in Chains" was used in the soundtrack for the video games Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Arena Football. "Bat Country", was used in the soundtracks for SSX on Tour, NHL 06 and Madden 06, following in the footsteps of "Chapter Four" which had also been on the soundtrack for NHL 2004, Madden 2004 and NASCAR Thunder 2004. The song "Beast and the Harlot" was in the soundtrack for Burnout Revenge. All the above games, not coincidentally, are produced by various divisions of Electronic Arts. "Beast and the Harlot" also appears in RedOctane's Guitar Hero II, released in November 7, 2006. The song "Burn it Down" is featured on the October 24th, 2006 release of the Saw III soundtrack.
During recent tours (Coheed and Cambria spring 2006 tour and Ozzfest 2006), Avenged Sevenfold have been performing the song "Walk", originally by Pantera, as part of a tribute to the late "Dimebag" Darrell Lance Abbott (Aug. 20, 1966-Dec. 8, 2004).
At the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, Avenged Sevenfold received the award for best new artist. They took the award over several other artists--Angels and Airwaves, Panic! at the Disco, Chris Brown, Rihanna, and James Blunt. This is somewhat ironic, since they're aren't "new artists", and have been performing for many years. After canceling fall and winter 2006 tour dates, the band is planning their unnamed fourth studio album. M. Shadows has stated that it won't be a "City of Evil Part 2" or "Waking the Fallen Part 2", because they want to change their sound once more.
Avenged Sevenfold recently finished filming a DVD chronicling their history which will be released in April 2007 on Warner Bros.
