#112 - Avenged Sevenfold - City of Evil

After the critical success of their 2003 sophomore album Waking the Fallen, Orange County’s Avenged Sevenfold underwent a period of significant transformation. A new deal with a major label, vocal surgeries, and a bold shift in musical direction all marked a turning point for the band.

Never content to repeat themselves, they forged ahead to create the album they had always envisioned—an ambitious, multi-layered, arena-ready release that propelled them to new heights and solidified their place in modern heavy metal.
