Avenged Sevenfold have revealed the album cover, title, and release date for their highly anticipated sixth studio album. Titled Hail to the King, the record will be released on August 27. All the details were uncovered via an online scavenger hunt that led fans to different websites, including RevolverMag.com, that were hosting puzzle pieces. Avenged Sevenfold will also be playing a free show at the Hollywood Palladium on August 26 to celebrate the album release.
Major labels have really wizened up in the past year or two, pushing their physical shipping windows as late as possible to minimize leak time. As far as I can tell Monday is the European wide release (although amazon germany has it listed for this Friday). So the physical media has to be shipped and in stores by the end of this week, more than likely mid-week. I’ve given up trying to predict leak dates based on this or any other criteria as it just varies with every release. We could see it pop up today, but it wouldn’t shock me if it didn’t surface until Friday either.
This is it basically in a nutshell. Nightmare was a huge pain to get hold of as well and it wasn’t until the album was basically released in Australia that tracks were being leaked. Individuals have the album, but it seems to high risk for them to upload the album by themselves. Once shops begin to store the album is when I would bother to get my hopes up. Which coincidentally…is around about now I would think..
Who thinks that the leak is for today?
I’m thinking we will see it Wednesday-Friday time frame. I’m not going to be expecting it until the end of the week though. Not going to get hopes up.
The whole album will be streamed tomorrow 20th at iTunes Brazil. Calm down bro.
Thanks for the calming words, BRO. I’ve got the patience to wait.
fantastic
where did you get this info?
How do you know this?
We will have it tomorrow! Someone just said on kingdomleaks that Itunes Brazil is doing a stream of the album on the 20th.
I just want to hear Acid Rain!

Album stream, tonight.
Still no iTunes previews damnit!
Hopefully it leaks today so i can listen to it while playing the new Splinter Cell. Would be a fuckin amazing night.
Come on I want the new album come on I jus can’t wait 7 days
A good question to pass the time.. What is your favorite Avenged Sevenfold song of all time?
Buried Alive
Chapter Four. It has all the hallmarks of the band, from the layered vocals in the verses(that, I love to see return) to a pair of great guitar harmonies. Also, it was the first song I heard of their’s and the one they opened with when I saw them live for the first time.
Buried Alive of course
Remenissions
I’m with you on this one, remenissions, I also like and all things will end
And All Things Will End does not get enough love. One of their most underrated songs.
Honestly they have so many amazing songs that i dont think i could answer this.
Afterlife , M.I.A.
4:00am or carry on cant decide

Another question for some fun. Do you guys have a favorite A7X album?
Waking the Fallen. An almost flawless album front to back. While CoE is great, I don’t think Shads had his vocals down quite yet and that’s the only real knock on that album.
Nightmare or self title
City of Evil…
Waking the Fallen or Nightmare, tough choice
I’ll second that
there is a stigma where you have to say Waking the Fallen because it proves your long standing fandom of A7X but the Self Titled is their most original and creative album. It was the only album that the band as an entirety wrote and the creative genius of Jimmy is all over that album.
Waking the fallen is my all time favorite, it got me into metal music. I use to hate heavy music until I heard that album.
How about favourite avenged solo
How about favourite avenged solo
Second Heartbeat, followed closely by Beast and the Harlot.
Wow seems second heartbeat wins that then as its also my favourite
I dig To End The Rapture’s solo as well.
My favorite solo would have to be M.I.A follow by bat country
that’s a hard one… mmm… Second Heartbeat maybe…
MIA’s guitar solo
As weird as it sounds, mine is Seize The Day. There’s something behind it that makes it so powerful.
thats cause its straight up slash
Favourite syn guitar?
The one I own.
Got a pic im guessing it white with gold
Nah, I’m lefty, could only get the original custom.
I honestly can’t decide on a favorite song myself. :P
I’m not insane

If the album leaks in the next hour i will get a deathbat on my forehead!
i worked so hard in the summer… to travel to Italy with my GF, but she broke up with me for no reason… so i spent my money on Sevenfold stuff and school stuff… and at the end of august there will be a fuckin huge deathbat on my back… if you know what i mean…

Wishing the clock would move faster the world cant wait
Only about an hour or two and we should know
As time passes by, im not insane I just want to scream im going to rip my heart out right before my eyes as death is riding through the town with armor
