Sounding The Seventh Trumpet is the debut studio album by metal heads Avenged Sevenfold, originally released in 2001. The album was recorded in November 2000 at Westbeach Recorders in California.
The second album from heavy metal legends Avenged Sevenfold. In this album, the band transitions from their original hardcore sound of the first album, to their signature metal styles of the latest albums.
Avenged Sevenfold 'Self Titled' album was the bands 4th studio album and the last to feature their drummer The Rev. featured on Kerrang's "666 albums you must hear before you die" and went certified gold in 2008.
A musical outlier, the band pioneered a union of thrashed-out European guitar pyrotechnics, East Coast hardcore spirit, on-stage hijinks, and enlightened lyricism that set the pace for what the turn-of-the-century deemed heavy.
Originally released in 2010 and celebrating it's 15 Year Anniversary, The fifth full-length from California metal/hard rock legends, Avenged Sevenfold, is considered one of the best hard rock/metalcore albums of all time.
