Avenged Sevenfold November 11, 2007

Avenged Sevenfold effectively annihilates the distinction between punk and metal. The band eschews punk's loud-fast rules but artfully combines punk rock with melody, metal's white-knuckle intensity and powerful wails of unflinching lyrics and an adventurous spirit. Hailing from Miami, the band plays metal music and features Gabriel (lead vocals/lead guitar), Alex (guitar), Zakk (bass) and Steven (drums).
