Avenged Sevenfold

Hailed as one of the leading bands to emerge out of the New Wave of American heavy metal genre during the late 1990s, Southern California based Avenged Sevenfold has managed to become a world wide success, particularly in Scandinavian countries, that still have a mainstream palate for aggressive hard rock sounds. The group's propensities and instrumental fervency has given rise to a dedicated group of fans who consider Avenged Sevenfold to be one of the best bands of its genre and generation.
