Keberhasilan Avenged Sevenfold membuat mereka diundangan untuk tur 2006's Ozzfest di panggung utama, disejajarkan dengan band Heavy Metal yang terkenal seperti Dragonforce, Lacuna Coil, Hatebreed, Disturbed, dan System of a Down. Pada tahun yang sama mereka juga menyelesaikan tur di seluruh dunia, termasuk Amerika Serikat, Britania Raya (serta daratan Eropa), Jepang, Australia dan Selandia Baru. Setelah tur selama enam belas bulan di promosi City of Evil, band ini mengumumkan bahwa mereka membatalkan tur 2006 demi rekaman album baru. M. Shadows menyatakan bahwa album keempat mereka, self-titled dan self production tidak akan menjadi "City of Evil Part 2" atau "Waking the Fallen Part 2," tapi akan menggabungkan suara grittier baru . Untuk gelombang para penggemar, di antara kemunculan album baru, band ini merilis DVD pertama mereka berjudul "All Excess" pada tanggal 17 Juli 2007. All Excess, yang memulai debutnya sebagai # 1 DVD di Amerika Serikat, termasuk pertunjukan live dan backstage footage yang membentang delapan tahun karir band.

Dua single, "Critical Acclaim" dan "Almost Easy" yang dirilis sebelum debut album. Pada bulan Desember 2007, video animasi dibuat untuk "A Little Piece of Heaven."

Single ketiga, "Afterlife" dan videonya dirilis pada bulan Januari 2008. Single keempat mereka, "Dear God", dirilis pada tanggal 30 September 2008. Meskipun penerimaan dicampur kritis secara umum album-self titled terjual lebih dari 500.000 eksemplar dan mendapat penghargaan "Album of the Year" di Kerrang! Awards.

Selama pertunjukan festival terjual habis di Leeds dan Reading, band terpaksa mempersingkat pertunjukan Leeds mereka dan membatalkan pertunjukan Reading mereka karena strain vokal yang di alami oleh M.

Avenged Sevenfold Tour 2007 late 2008 - 2009

The Avenged Sevenfold Tour was a concert tour by heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold, taking place between 2007 and 2009, in support of their self-titled album. It was also the band's last tour with drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan who died on December 28, 2009.
The tour began on October 29, 2007, with a North American leg, not long after the band just finished a last UK leg for their last tour, in support of City of Evil. The tour ended on August 2, 2009, where the band performed their last show of the tour at the Sonisphere Festival in Knebworth, England. This was the band's last ever performance with drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan who died on December 28, 2009.
During the band's North American leg of autumn 2008, after one show on September 6, 2008, vocalist M. Shadows found difficulties to sing, and flew to see his doctor, cancelling the Baltimore show the next day. The whole co-headlining tour with Buckcherry was then cancelled due to Shadows' case of vocal fatigue. The band resumed the tour after Shadows took some rest, with a short Japanese leg starting on October 15, 2008, and then on November 4, 2008, the band rescheduled their cancelled North American Leg and played through November and December a co-headlining tour with Buckcherry and support acts Shinedown and Saving Abel, as a make-up for the cancelled tour.
During the tour, the band also played 3 dates in June 2009, in support of Metallica, right at the outbreak of the swine flu, although the dates were not cancelled and performed as planned.
During the band's headlining of the North American Taste of Chaos Tour 2008, they recorded their April 10, 2008 performance, for their first live DVD, entitled Live in the LBC & Diamonds in the Rough, which was a budnle of a live DVD, and a CD of b-sides and unreleased tracks from the self-titled promoted album.
On April 16, 2009, former Guns N' Roses and current Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash joined the band on stage to play a cover of the classic Guns N' Roses song "It's So Easy".

Album Ke 3 A7X City Of Evil

City of Evil merupakan album penuh ketiga Avenged Sevenfold yang kali ini dirilis tanggal 7 Juni,2005 sekaligus menjadi debut mereka bersama major label Warner Brothers. Musik yang ditawarkan di album ini sangat berbeda bila dibandingkan dengan rilisan mereka di tahun 2003 yang masih memainkanmetalcore dimana di album ini karakter vokal M. Shadows tidak lagi memiliki guratan scream. Sedangkan bagian gitar terdengar lebih bertechnical dalam experimen metal yang mereka usung. Karakter musik yang baru ini membuat fans lama mereka mengkritisi Avenged Sevenfold dan mencap band ini mulai masuk ke dunia komersial untuk mendapat pasar musik yang lebih umum. Meski masih rumor, namun kabarnya perubahan musik Avenged Sevenfold ini terkait dengan hilangnya teriakan vokalis M. Shadows.

Album Ke 2 A7X Walking The Fallen

Waking the Fallen adalah album kedua oleh Avenged Sevenfold, yang dirilis pada tanggal 26 Agustus 2003 melalui Hopeless Records. Ini adalah rilis terakhir oleh band metalcore untuk fitur suara mereka, walaupun vokal lebih bersih yang ditampilkan pada album dari album debut mereka, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. Album ini juga album mereka yang tanpa bahasa profan. Itu juga merupakan album pertama bagi Johnny Christ pada bass di Avenged Sevenfold, sehingga menyempurnakan lineup utama band (sampai kematian The Rev pada tahun 2009). Album ini meraih emas pada tanggal 15 Juli 2009.

Penerimaan
Waking the Fallen sangat terkenal. Ia menerima profil positif di Billboard, dengan majalah membandingkan Avenged Sevenfold untuk band-band seperti NOFX, Iron Maiden, dan Metallica dalam profil lain, album ini juga menerima perbandingan ke Misfits dan perbandingan lebih lanjut untuk Iron Maiden. "Chapter Four" adalah fitur di NASCAR, Thunder 2004 Madden NFL 2004 dan NHL 2004, yang mengumpulkan cukup paparan untuk mengarah ke kontrak rekaman dengan Warner Bros Records. catatan ini juga terkenal di kalangan penggemar karena suara M. Shadows 'sedikit lebih tinggi dan nada tinggi dia menyanyikan lagu-lagu seperti "I Won't See You Tonight" (kedua bagian).

Videografi
Sebuah video live performance di rekam di Warped Tour 2003 untuk single pertama dari Waking the Fallen, "Second Heartbeat". Sebuah video yang dibuat untuk single kedua "Unholy Confessions" pada tanggal 6 Maret 2004, menggunakan live footage set ke lagu studio. Ini menampilkan penggemar sebelum dan selama konser Avenged Sevenfold. Menurut vokalis M. Shadows, itu diminta oleh label baru mereka, Warner Bros Records, dalam rangka untuk mempublikasikan band sebelum tahun 2005 album mereka City of Evil. Video ini adalah upaya kedua di sebuah video untuk lagu tersebut. Upaya sebelumnya merupakan konsep video yang dibuat musim gugur sebelumnya (2003). Band ini tidak puas dengan produk akhir, bagaimanapun, dan memilih untuk kembali merekam video, kali ini sebagai live performance.
