Avenged Sevenfold (juga dikenal sebagai A7X), adalah band beraliran metal core yang berasal dari Huntington Beach, California.
Mereka berasal dari tempat yang sama dimana kesemuanya kecuali
Synyster Gates berasal dari sekolah yang sama, yaitu Huntington Beach
High School. Mereka terbentuk di awal tahun 1999 dimana personil awalnya
hanya beranggotakan empat orang saja yaitu M.Shadows, Zacky Vengeance,
The Rev dan Justin Sane (Bass).
Nama Avenged Sevenfold diambil dari salah satu kisah di dalam bibel.
Walaupun mengambil nama dari bibel, M.Shadows mengakui bahwa bandnya
tidak terlalu religius ataupun bertujuan untuk menyebarkan suatu
kepercayaan religi atau poltik kepada penggemarnya.
Avenged Sevenfold memiliki lambang yang merekan namakan “Deathbat”.
Lambang ini dirancang oleh teman semasa SMA mereka, Micah Montague.
Lambang ini selalu muncul di setiap konser mereka dan hampir selalu ada
di setiap album mereka.
Album pertama mereka, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet
direkam ketika mereka masih berumur 18 tahun. Album ini dirilis dengan
label Good Life Recordings, tetapi setelah gitaris Synyster Gates masuk
Avenged Sevenfold, album ini dirilis ulang dengan label Hopeless
Records. Lagu “To End The Rapture” juga direkam ulang, kali ini
ditambahkan dengan permainan gitar Synyster Gates.Pada saat Proses
perekaman album ini bassit mereka yang mulanya Justin Sane diganti oleh
Johnny Christ. Sampai saat ini belum diketahui penyebab terusirnya
Justin Sane dari band tersebut.
Pada tahun 2003, mereka pun merilis full-length album kedua mereka yang bertajuk Waking The Fallen.
Album ini terjual sebanyak 175.000 copy di Amerika Serikat dan mencapai
peringkat 12 di dalam Independent Album Chart di Amerika Serikat.
Tahun 2005, Amerika Serikat tengah jenuh dengan musik hip-hop dan pop
yang merajalela, lalu Avenged Sevenfold merilis album mereka City of Evil
tepatnya pada tanggal 8 Juni, 2005. Hits single Bat Country merupakan
lagu metal/rock pertama yang merajai MTV TRL. Mereka mempopulerkan
kembali solo gitar dengan duet gitaris Synyster Gates dan Zacky
Vengeance yang benar-benar memanaskan area moshpit. Album tersebut
mendapat sertifikat gold dan memenangkan predikat Best New Artist in a
Video di MTV VMA 2006 untuk lagu Bat Country.
Tahun 2007, mereka kembali masuk studio untuk merekam lagu terbaru mereka untuk studio album ke-5 mereka yang bernama Avenged Sevenfold.
Awal Agustus 2007, mereka menjalani tur Asia Pasifik mereka, dan sempat
mampir di Indonesia dan memainkan lagu mereka pertama kali di depan
publik. Lagu yang berjudul Almost Easy tersebut mendapat sambutan hangat
dari penggemar di seluruh dunia. Ketika itu band punk Jogjakarta Endang
Soekamti didaulat menjadi band pembuka.
Dan kabarnya pada tahun 2009 Avenged Sevenfold merilis album mereka yang berjudul Eternal Soldier.
Dan katanya album ini genrenya lebih ke alternatif dan soft rock, ini
mungkin dikarenakan Mat Shadow yang sudah tidak bisa scream lagi. Dan
juga mereka ingin mengulang kesuksesan seperti pada lagu Dear God yg
melejit. Tapi masih mengusung genre metalcore. Yah sebut saja genre ini
crossover.
Dan album terbaru mereka yang dirilis pada 27 Juli 2010 diberi nama
NIGHTMARE. Album beraliran Heavy metal dan hardrock. Album ini
didekasikan bagi drummer mereka yaitu The Rev yang meninggal pada
desember 2009. Di album ini The Rev membuat lagu yang berjudul
“Fiction”.dan itu merupakan lagu terkahir yang dibuatnya karena 3 hari
setelah ia menyerahkan lagu itu dia telah berpulang..
Personil – personil Avenged Sevenfold sekarang adalah M. Shadows
,Synyster Gates,Zacky Vengeance,Johnny Christ. Sedangkan drummer sempat
berganti setelah meninggalnya The Rev dengan diisi oleh drummer dunia
Mike Portnoy (drummer Dream Theater) sebagai drummer penggati
sementara,dan baru – baru ini berita mengatakan kalau Mike Portnoy
digantikan oleh Arin Ilejay mantan drummer band Confide sebagai pengisi
drum mereka pada tur saat ini

danger line
My 16 locked and loaded
All fear has been avoided
You say the words and my weapon is drawn
This one could be my last time
Some people call it war crime
I may be staring down a lethal site... to die
Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line
I do this for my family
My daughter loves her daddy
Too many talk down on things they don't know
With colors never faded
Reckless and unabated
They may take me but never take us all, I'll crawl
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/avenged_sevenfold/danger_line.html ]
Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line
I know what you're thinking
I've been there before
So think of the times
The time we spent laughing away
So think of the times, at home.
Now I find myself in my own blood
The damage done is far beyond repair
I never put my faith in up above
But now I'm hoping someone's there
I never meant to leave this world alone
I never meant to hurt the ones who cared
And all this time I thought we'd just grow old
You know, no one said it's fair
Tell my baby girl that it's alright
I've sung my last song today
Remind the Lord to leave his light on, for me
I'm free
All fear has been avoided
You say the words and my weapon is drawn
This one could be my last time
Some people call it war crime
I may be staring down a lethal site... to die
Nothing shocks you like a bullet hole
Leaving my fear on the danger line
Suffering a man should never know
Leaving my faith on the danger line
I do this for my family
My daughter loves her daddy
Too many talk down on things they don't know
With colors never faded
Reckless and unabated
They may take me but never take us all, I'll crawl

brompton cocktail lyric
(Out of time...)
Doc, I'm dying, I'm feeling compromised (feeling compromised)
And so dehumanized (and so dehumanized)
I lost my final fight to disease, I feel that this is where it ends
I need that shot to enter my vein
My Brompton Cocktail blend
'Cause I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong
I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)
Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong
In a lie...
I'm tired, induced euphoria (induced euphoria)
To help me move along (help me move along)
I wanna meet my maker in peace, I want to feel alive again
So put that smile back on my face and mix it strong my friend
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/avenged_sevenfold/brompton_cocktail.html ]
'Cause I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong
I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)
Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong
And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die how I wanna
And leave how I arrived, so alive
I believe my sins will be forgiven
And I believe my choice will save me from this life
Please don't question why
My sins have been forgotten
I believe I'll find peace in afterlife
Please don't question why I left this way
'Cause I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong
I'm not running away, been fighting this so long (so long)
Such a price that we pay, we gotta be so strong
And I take my life tonight 'cause I have the right to die how I wanna
And leave how I arrived, so alive, Alive
Doc, I'm dying, I'm feeling compromised (feeling compromised)
