Avenged Sevenfold & Alexisonfire at Xfinity Center

Avenged Sevenfold is a multi-platinum American hard rock band formed in the late 90s. Exploratory and experimental, their sound ranges from heavy metal core to punk-pop. Hailing from the Orange County of Southern California, Huntington Beach, the band was formed when the members were still in high school. After releasing a three-song-demo, their first official debut album, "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet," was recorded and released in 2001. The album pleased many metal fans as the band truly assembled pure metalcore pieces together, which put them right at the hard rock rosters of music.

They were able to reach number 30 on Billboard's top 200 with their more complex and exploratory "City of Evil" album released in 2005. The album enabled them to gain more fans from the mainstream rock community with catchy songs like "Bat Country" and "Seize the Day." By 2007, their fourth studio album, "Avenged Sevenfold," reached number 4 on the Billboard 200, selling over 500,000 copies and winning "Album of the Year" by Kerrang!Awards. Fan favorite "Carry On" single was featured on the soundtrack of the 2010 video game Call of Duty Arms: Black Ops, which shot them right off to the number one spot on the Billboard 200. By 2016, they've gathered both their fanbase and newer fans on their seventh studio album, "The Stage," which fused progressive metal and techno-pop in one epic performance.

It's a busy year for the band as the successful first part of the 2023 North American tour has yet to plan on ending. Now it's time for the second leg of their "Life Is But A Dream" tour. In support of the tour, the band will be joined by several special guests, including the gold and platinum award-winning band Alexisonfire. The Canadian band will tour with A7x in select cities, including Mansfield, Massachusettes, on July 19.

The year is packed with all-out surprises from A7X because they've just released their new single, "Nobody," after seven years. There's something to look forward to this July for a metalcore showdown that'll blow the stage off the ground as hardcore Death Bat Army members and newer fans alike gather at the Xfinity Center this July 19 for a summer blast they surely shouldn't miss.
