In a recent interview with Kerrang!, Avenged Sevenfold guitarist Zacky Vengeance, and new drummer Brooks Wackerman (ex-Bad Religion) discussed the band’s new material. You can read some of their responses below.
As far as the sound of the album, Zacky Vengeance offered:
“It’s pretty much completely aggro. It goes in all sorts of aggressive directions and melodic directions. It has a lot of metal elements that we grew up loving. And tons of melody. It’s hard to say. At this point the only word that would describe it is ‘aggro’.”
Wackerman also added the following about the effort’s timeline:
“We’re just focusing on writing right now and trying to put together a new record. That’s the focal point. There’s no set timescale, we just want to make sure we all feel confident with it. It is moving right along.”
