Avenged Sevenfold (2007)
Avenged Sevenfold is the fourth studio album by American
metal band
Avenged Sevenfold, released on October 30, 2007 through
Warner Bros. Records. The album, originally slated for an October 16 release, was delayed by two weeks in order to provide more time to complete bonus material and production for the record, including the making of the animated music video for the song "A Little Piece of Heaven". The album debuted at number 4 on the
Billboard 200.
On September 23, 2008, the album was certified
Gold by the
RIAA. The album has also been released as a vinyl. The band supported the album with a tour, beginning a day before the release of the album and ending in 2009.
Avenged Sevenfold is the last full-length studio album produced by the band before
The Rev's death which occurred on December 28, 2009, just two weeks before the band was to commence recording their follow-up album
Nightmare. His vocals are recorded in the songs "Critical Acclaim", "Afterlife", "Scream", "Dear God", "Gunslinger", "Lost", "A Little Piece of Heaven", and "Almost Easy". Although critical reception to the album was mixed compared to previous releases,
Avenged Sevenfold won the
Kerrang award for Best Album in 2008.
