Avenged Sevenfold - M. Shadows - Vocals; Synyster Gates - Lead Guitar; Zacky Vengeance - Guitar; Johnny Christ - Bass; The Reverend Tholomew Plague -Drums. Avenged Sevenfold still have alot of work to do but they brought a new sound to music. They reminded us that Metallica, AC/DC and Pantera did do something good after all.
Avenged Sevenfold's first album Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, was recorded when band members were nineteen years old, It was released originally on their first label, Goodlife Recordings. At this point their sound was mostly a mix of Hardcore and punk (notably 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 Records and was awarded a positive rating in Rolling Stone magazine. Shortly after its release, Avenged Sevenfold were signed to Warner Bros. Records.
