Sounding the Seventh Trumpet is where Avenged Sevenfold began, and this CD edition presents the debut that introduced their mix of metalcore fury and melodic ambition.

First released in 2001, when the band members were still teenagers from Huntington Beach, California, the album was reissued by Hopeless Records the following year with a new intro and a re-recorded version of one song. That edition is the one most fans came to know.

M. Shadows spends much of the record screaming, a world away from the polished vocals of later hits, while The Rev's drumming is relentless and wildly inventive. The guitars already hint at the twin-lead heroics that would define the band, even if the production is raw and the songs are untamed.

To End the Rapture sets an ominous scene before Darkness Surrounding tears in with breakdowns and frantic riffing. Warmness on the Soul, a piano-led ballad, offers an early glimpse of the grand, melodic band they would soon become, and Thick and Thin shows their punk-scene roots.

Heard now, it is a fascinating snapshot of a young band throwing everything at the wall, and essential listening for anyone tracing how Avenged Sevenfold grew from Orange County hardcore kids into arena headliners.
