Avenged Sevenfolds 2001 debut is scrappy compared to everything theyd do after, but for a group of precocious teenagers banging through their dual affection for skate-punk and metalcore, it doesnt get much better than this. Jimmy The Rev Sullivans typhoon-like drumming which he recorded all in one take makes you lose your breath just listening along, and tracks like Darkness Surrounding, Warmness of the Soul and An Epic of Time Wasted are cuts every A7X fan needs to know.
