From Huntington California, ranked on Loudwire’s “Top 50 Metal Bands of All Time,” Avenged Sevenfold is stopping in the Holy Land this June on their European tour. The popular American heavy metal band will take the stage for thousands of their Israeli metalheads between their performances across Germany, Finland, France, Spain, and Italy.
Known for their dynamic imagery and diverse rock/metal sound, Avenged Sevenfold’s music has evolved a lot since the band’s founding in 1999. They’ve been categorized as everything from heavy metal, to hard rock, to progressive metal, to metalcore. With seven released studio albums, the band has continued exploring their sound – blending thrash metal, pop punk, heavier instrumentation, and sometimes returning to their more classic metal sound.
While some criticize them for straying from the norms of heavy metal, “not being metal enough,” others commend them for their alternative nature and adventurous twists. Vocalist M. Shadows explained, "we play music for the sake of music, not so that we can be labeled a metal band.” Avenged Sevenfold is widely recognized as a brave leader in a new wave of American heavy metal.
With over 8 million albums sold worldwide and a Grammy nomination, fans will flock by the thousands this summer from all over the country. An Israeli Facebook page begging the band to come to Israel had over 9,000 followers, so book your tickets fast. Don’t miss this rocking, creative, and influential member of the metal world June 26th at Rishon LeZion Live Park.
Tickets go on sale today for fan club members and on Monday, Feb 19 for everyone else HERE. NIS 325-425.
