In the summer of 1999 these five lads still in high school got together in Orange County, California and formed the band Avenged Sevenfold. Often known as just 'A7X', they based their name on the philosophy of what comes around goes around that comes from the bible story of God's wrath upon Cain for killing his brother Abel (Genesis) "And the Lord said...Therefore whoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold."
Their influences come from old school metal bands such as Pantera, Metallica and Iron Maiden. Creating their first record when they were all 18 has led to successful tours with Shadowsfall and Mushroom head, including the 2003 Vans Warped Tour.
