AVENGED SEVENFOLD Guitarist: 'We Made A Flawless Album'

October 30, 2007

The Pulse of Radio reports: AVENGED SEVENFOLD releases its self-titled fourth album on Tuesday (October 30),following up the band's breakthrough 2005 effort, "City Of Evil". This time out, the band not only wanted to produce the record on their own, but outdo themselves as a musical act. Guitarist Synyster Gates admits they weren't sure how to make that happen. "I think we raised the bar, and we had the mindset that we wanted to do it, but we had no clue what we were gonna do," he said. "And we've always claimed that we were this fearless band, with the utmost fearless approach to writing music, but in a way, this was like the self-realization that we sort of hadn't. And this album, all boundaries were just torn down and we just went absolutely crazy, and we really made a pretty eclectic and, as far as we're concerned, not to sound too cocky, but a flawless album."

The new AVENGED SEVENFOLD disc is being released as both a standard CD and an interactive MVI featuring a documentary, an animated short, a tour of the recording studio, a fan contest segment, MP3s of all tracks on the album, ringtone software and more.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD hails from Orange County, California.

The band launched a 30-date U.S. tour on Monday (October 29),which stops on Wednesday night (October 31) in Las Vegas.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD played a free concert at the Key Club in Hollywood, California on October 20. Check out footage of the new song "Critical Acclaim" below.
