Band Crush Monday: Avenged Sevenfold
With Metal Hammer‘s announcement of a tribute to Avenged Sevenfold, entitled Hail to the Kings, and the fact that front man M. Shadows is in the new Ghost video, I decided to post a blog about the band that stole my heart in 2005.
My introduction to Avenged Sevenfold came during a difficult time in my life. At seventeen, I lost my boyfriend. I had some really great people helping me get through it, and one of those individuals played me Waking the Fallen. I was immediately in love. Over the years, I have met some of my best friends through a shared love of these guys.
So, in honor of my forever band crush, here are some photos of and my favorite videos from Avenged Sevenfold.

Album of the Week: Adema’s Unstable
I went through a mild obsession with Adema after hearing “Giving In” and “The Way You Like It” from their self-titled debut. The last song by the band that I remember getting any air play was the title track to this record, “Unstable,” released in 2003.
