Now, I'mma post about AVENGED SEVENFOLD. But this time I'mma post the whole info about them. :D

AVENGED SEVENFOLD

Yang ini masih ada The Rev-nya :'D

Avenged Sevenfold is an American rock band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1999. The band consists of vocalist M. Shadows, lead guitarist Synyster Gates, rhythm guitarist Zacky Vengeance and bassist Johnny Christ.

Avenged Sevenfold emerged with a metalcore sound on their debut Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, which included primarily screaming vocals. The band changed their style on their third album and first major label release, City of Evil, which features more melodic vocals and power ballads. The band continued to explore new sounds with their self titled release and enjoyed continued mainstream success before their drummer, James Sullivan, "The Rev" died of heart disease and combining effects of a few chemicals in his body in 2009. Despite his death, the band continued on with help of then Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy and released their fifth album Nightmare in 2010 which debuted on the top spot of the Billboard 200-the first for the band.

To date, Avenged Sevenfold has released five studio albums, one live album/compilation/DVD, and fifteen singles. The band themselves have received much credit for their worldwide mainstream success and were most notably proclaimed as one of the leaders and key bands in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal and were featured as second place on Ultimate Guitar's Top Ten Bands of the Decade.

And.. by the way gue suka mereka karena mereka unik. Bukan karena genre-nya, because basically I like all kind of music. Lagu-lagunya tuh catchy semua, dengerin sampe berapa kali pun ga bakal bosen. :D

He is from Huntington Beach, California but presently lives elsewhere in Orange County. He got his stage name because of his 'darker' character, but then he didn't want the name 'Matt' be part of his name so he decided to name himself M. Shadows. He's married to Valary DiBenedetto who is the twin of Synyster Gates' wife, Michelle DiBenedetto. He can play drums, guitar, and piano.

He studied at Catholic schools with M. Shadows for basic education, but he was kicked out in second grade. He was a trouble maker. No child was allowed to hang out with him. That is, until Matt Sanders and Brian Haner, Jr. found him. They became friends and a few years later, Jimmy and Brian started a band called Pinkly Smooth. Matt also started a band called Avenged Sevenfold, asked Jimmy to join, and the rest is history ...
