Avenged Sevenfold Announced as Final Addition to Ozzfest 2006 Mainstage Lineup
The Huntington Beach quintet Avenged Sevenfold
has been revealed as the mystery mainstage act of this summer's Ozzfest
kicking off on June 29th in Seattle.
"Ozzfest has so much history," says frontman M. Shadows. "We are honored
to be sharing the stage with so many great bands and even more excited to
be a part of the legacy that is Ozzfest."
Avenged Sevenfold featuring M. Shadows (vocals), Synyster Gates (lead
guitar), Zacky Vengeance (guitar), Johnny Christ (bass) and The Reverend
(drums) is embracing the ride of their wildly successful release City of
Evil on Warner Bros. Records. The album produced by Mudrock (Godsmack,
Eighteen Visions) "incorporates epic guitar solos, a bowel-rumbling bottom
end and the gloomy imagery of vintage British metal" (Rolling Stone).
City of Evil was certified gold on the wings of their explosive hits Bat
Country and Beast And The Harlot, with the next single, Seize The Day set
to impact radio late June. Videos for Bat Country and Beast And The Harlot
have been in heavy rotation at MTV, MTV2, MTVU, Fuse and Yahoo! Visionary
director Wayne Isham (Metallica, Velvet Revolver) has directed the
powerful, gut wrenching video for the emotive and rocking Seize The Day.
The band has been a dominating force on MySpace with over 5,500,000 hits to
their page.
Avenged Sevenfold has just completed a triumphant U.S. arena tour
culminating in two sold-out nights at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. Before
joining Ozzfest, the band will tour Europe with legendary rock greats and
personal heroes, Guns N' Roses and Metallica beginning June 3rd in Germany.
