Heavy metal is a genre that has grown quite a bit over the years, for Huntington Beach, Californians Avenged Sevenfold or sometimes abbreviated as A7X, formed back in 1999. Going through line-up changes and member losses, eight full-length albums, lots of shows and tours. But the band would go on a hiatus, only returning sometime later in 2023, announcing not just a new album but comeback shows as well. A headlining show would take place at The Forum in Inglewood, California on June 9, 2023.

This show would of course sell out come the day of the event itself. Opening up for the band would be Falling In Reverse, who may have had some mishaps with performance issues in general, but this sold out showcase, brought in the fans regardless. Doors opening around 6PM and arriving a little after 7PM, The Forum’s circular venue was quite a walk round, finding our seats on the other side of the venue was one thing, another thing that was an issue, was finding our seats once inside the arena.

Being darkened as it was, finding our seats was a bit of a challenge, but luckily seats were secured after sometime. Close to 8PM would be when Falling In Reverse would perform and play for a good 45-50 minute set, consisting of a lot of old material and newer works as well. Such songs as “Raised By Wolves”, “Fashionably Late”, “The Drug In Me Is You”, “Just Like You”, and newer tracks like “Watch the World Burn”, “Voices In My Head”, “Zombified”, and “Popular Monster”. The band as a whole put on a good set, kept the crowd entertained, singing along, and just hyped throughout. By the end of their set, all there cheered with enjoyment, by such an enthusiastic performance.

FALLING IN REVERSE SETLIST:

1. Zombified
2. I’m Not a Vampire
3. Losing My Mind
4. Raised By Wolves
5. Fuck You And All Your Friends
6. Fashionably Late
7. The Drug In Me Is You
8. Drugs
9. Just Like You
10. Watch the World Burn
11. Voices in my Head
12. Popular Monster

The headliners of the night would be Avenged Sevenfold of course, their set lasting a good hour and 55 minutes, performing a good amount of songs, both old and new, a majority of the tracks coming off the band’s 2023 release “Life is but a Dream”, released this June, the band singing such tracks off it like “Mattel”, “Nobody”, “We Love You”, “G”, “(O)Rdinary”, “(D)eath”, to name off a few. A lot of the other songs sung would be older tracks like “Hail to the King”, “Afterlife”, “The Stage”, ‘Nightmare” “Bat Country”, and even older tracks like “Unholy Confessions”. Whilst the band was indeed good, the instrumentals were sounding much louder than the vocalist could sing. You could hear both, but it sounded off, unable to hear the vocalist over the loudness of the instrumentals at times. Nevertheless, the crowd was packed in, and truly ready to rock out, a majority of the crowd singing along, standing tall in their seats and on the floor, with others just pure excited on how awesome it was to be there. The floor crowd, kept some action going with the mosh pit but not much. This performance was good, keeping all there entertained, but the band’s performance didn’t really grab my attention as it had when seeing them back in 2007 and then again in 2010. Those two times they just brought that angst and energy more, heaviness, and just downright were slightly better than they were tonight.

Overall though, Avenged Sevenfold is what the band calls themselves as is a heavy metal band, one who has changed its styling over time, since formation back in 99, causing some displeasure within the fandom, but still collecting fans who still enjoy the music regardless. All in all, it was a sold out show that brought the fans in tow, taking in a band that has been around for close to 25 years with no plans on stopping.

Avenged Sevenfold have announced that drummer Brooks Wackerman has joined the band. Hailing from Long Beach, Calif., Wackerman was the main drummer for Bad Religion for more than 15 years and also played with Tenacious D for the last 10 years. He has also played with blink-182, Mass Mental with Metallica's Robert Trujillo, funk metal supergroup Infectious Grooves, and Korn. Wackerman has known the members of Avenged Sevenfold since meeting them on the Warped Tour in 2004.

"Jimmy ['The Rev' Sullivan'] and I always had a mutual respect for each other's drumming styles," Wackerman says of A7X's original drummer who passed away in 2009. "He was always amazing and innovative, and it's an honor to play his parts live. I look forward to recording this new record with A7X, a band that I've always respected for their creativity and diversity in sound."

Avenged singer M. Shadows and Wackerman made the announcement on Chris Jericho's "Talk Is Jericho" podcast, which aired yesterday morning on PodcastOne. Listen HERE.

Avenged Sevenfold has achieved worldwide success with a string of best-selling albums achieving Diamond, Platinum and Gold awards for album sales in nearly a dozen countries. They have scored a series of Top 10 singles at multiple radio formats, with two consecutive albums, Nightmare, and Hail to the King, debuting at #1 on Billboard Top 200 in the U.S with a total worldwide sales of over 8 million albums. Hailing from Huntington Beach, CA, the band is known internationally for their spectacular live shows, routinely selling out arenas worldwide and headlining some of the world's biggest and most prestigious music festivals. Over the years, Avenged Sevenfold has built a fanatical fan base that includes over 17 million fans on Facebook. They also were part of an unprecedented collaboration with Activision to appear as characters in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - the biggest-selling video game of all time, and wrote "Carry On" for the game. They also wrote "Not Ready to Die" for Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies DLC. Last year, the band debuted their own action adventure role-playing game, Hail to the King: Deathbat, which features classic Avenged Sevenfold tracks along with a new and original score. Most recently, the band collaborated with "Guitar Hero Live," offering three exclusive tracks that can be played within the game, which was released on October 20th.

"We are writing this to inform you all that we will be moving forward without Arin Ilejay as our drummer. Arin has been nothing but a positive energy and monster drummer for us over the past four years. We love the guy and always will.

While we can’t say more at this time, we are excited for the future and looking forward to sharing our plans soon with the greatest fans in the world. As always we appreciate your understanding and unwavering support."

We think we've achieved that and hope you enjoy the game. "
