Avenged Sevenfold have recently posted a new update detailing the progress of their upcoming album.


Guitarist Zacky Vengeance had the following to say on the band’s MySpace page:

Finished tracking drums with MP. They sound fucking amazing. Jimmy will be proud. Jimmy's also smiling knowing that Mike Portnoy has a deathbat forever tattooed on him. To show Mike that A7X is deeper then just a band I got one to match his. Jimmy would have done the same. Mike realized that our fans and friends are considered family. Being an A7X fan isn’t always easy because it means you’re not only gonna laugh with us, but cry with us and defend us on occasion. If you’re part of the family it's for life. Shads dedicated his right hand to our brother, without hesitation. I believe what we all share together is magical and wouldn't have it any other way...Ill try my best to keep you updated from the studio.

In related news, Mike Portnoy, who recently was announced as A7X’s interim drummer had the following to say:

“I must thank the amazing Avenged Sevenfold fans for being so open and welcoming to me. I was fearing them being very defensive over The Rev’s drum throne, but they’ve all been so supportive, open-minded, understanding and excited by the news… It is a huge relief to me and the guys!

“And oh yeah… The album is gonna be incredible! The Rev is absolutely looking down with a big-ass smile on his face!” he told Metal Hammer.
