The Avenged Sevenfold is a metal group which was started by a couple of high school students in Huntington Beach, California back in 1999. After starting their career in the music industry, they were able to easily make their impression with their musical style which was an aggressive combination of punk-pop and metal. The band had M. Shadows on vocals, Synyster Gates on guitar, Johnny Christ on bass and the Reverend on drums. They made their debut in July of 2001 when they released their album Sounding the Seventh Trumpet.
