AVENGED vocalist M. Shadows told MTV.com last month that the band had no problem producing the CD themselves. "We met with a lot of different producers and felt that we would be going more in their direction, rather than doing what we wanted to do," Shadows said. "We wanted to make our record. We've spent a lot of time in the studio, and we've learned how to do everything. It was the only way we would be able to get our ideas across, 100 percent, to our fans."
From the sound of it, "Avenged Sevenfold" might be the band's heaviest set to date.
"It was a very conscious decision on our part to make the most down-to-the-bone AVENGED SEVENFOLD album we could," the frontman said. "There's no glitz or glamour — just a heavy-hitting record that encompasses all of AVENGED SEVENFOLD. It's a record that new fans and old fans will love. It's easily our best-sounding record. We spent so much time on textures and different vibes, and we'd try everything in the studio. Whatever worked worked, and whatever didn't, we'd throw out. We've had four months in the studio where we've just been experimenting and making this sh-- hit heavy.
"We wanted to make a record we'd be really proud of, and the biggest difference with this record is that it's all groove-oriented — no more machine-gun drums going 120 miles per minute," he continued. "It's very 'one-two, one-two,' where you're just banging your head the entire time. It's not as sporadic. We're making a good record for our fans, and they're the only ones who count."
