"At the end of September, we started writing for the record. I’m really happy with it. It’s a very cool direction that we’re going in. There’s kind of an old school feel, but it’s still modern. It doesn’t feel dated. It’s going to be the next evolution of Avenged Sevenfold. We’re excited about it."

coming this summer:

What have you been listening to lately?

We've really been listening to a lot of classical music, getting familiar with the chord progressions they're using, the scales, and how they put notes together. I go back to all of the old stuff I've listened to my whole life. I'm really dissecting Master of Puppets. I'm dissecting Pantera records. I'm getting into Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath for inspiration on this record as well as some Pink Floyd. I've been listening to the Ghost record. Volbeat is cool. As far as pop goes, I'm listening to Lana Del Rey. It's all over the place. I downloaded the new Soundgarden record last night. I like to get everything. I got Three Days Grace and Halestorm. I like to keep up on what everyone's doing.

It's kinda strange knowing he listens to Lana.

Can't wait for the album. I didn't think they would have it this ready so soon.

I remember Syn said they all were fans of Britney when they were younger

But yeah I'm so excited for this album. just in time for my a7x tattoo

I do remember them talking about Britney more than once.



And that's really awesome. A deathbat?

Yep
