«Avenged Sevenfold» est le quatrième album studio éponyme du groupe américain de heavy metal Avenged Sevenfold, sorti en 2007 au format CD. Cet opus marque une évolution notable du groupe qui s?éloigne du metalcore pour explorer des sonorités plus variées mêlant hard rock, métal classique et arrangements orchestraux audacieux. Porté par des titres phares comme « Almost Easy », « Afterlife » ou encore « Dear God », l?album met en avant la virtuosité technique et la puissance d?écriture de la formation californienne aujourd?hui reconnue mondialement avec plusieurs disques de platine et des tournées à guichets fermés sur tous les continents. Le fabricant Wb (Warner Bros.) est réputé pour ses productions musicales de grande qualité et son engagement envers les artistes novateurs dans tous les styles.
Amazing album; a band with an incredible and unique sound.Excellent mixing, fantastic vocals, solid drumming, awesome riffs ...and this one’s worth it just for “Almost Easy”

Wow! What a breakthrough the guys from Avenged Sevenfold made! The group grows every year, both in technique and in vocals. Compared to the previous album - City of Evil, which was released back in 2005, the current Avenged Sevenfold is a completely different group.
“City of Evil” was simply nothing, with the exception of a couple of tracks, the overall impression was vague. It seems that there is something, and something is simultaneously missing. What can’t you say about ... Yes, by the way, about the title of the album, it is not! More precisely as it is, on the cover of the disc flaunts the inscription Avenged Sevenfold, a warning about profanity and the emblem of the group (which was already on the cover of "Waking the Fallen" (2003), only in a different color) and that’s it! Doesn't it seem to anyone that the album title would be better? Well, I digress, now directly about the record. It’s just something with something, and in a good way! Is the metalcore style no longer ordinary, combined with melodic and pleasant vocals (and not this scream that was in "Waking the Fallen")? You can even say that you have progressive metalcore! Matt Shadows sang like Silen Dior, and will give odds to some opera masters! It is very nice to listen to good-quality guitar parts in the middle of the composition, great vocals, melodic tracks and not notice that the neighbors are hammering you into the wall, ready to hang themselves!
In my opinion, the album was not bad. It’s a pity that the breaks between the releases of the albums are indecently large. Will wait!

Avenged Sevenfold has always been a band obsessed with retribution, as their name and recorded output show. Peculiarly for a monstrous metal band, the...
