Avenged Sevenfold complete new album

Californian rockers Avenged Sevenfold have finished recording their new studio album according to guitarist Zacky Vengeance.

Vengeance posted the following message on the band’s Twitter page recently:

"Tracking is complete. There are no words that will ever describe the feeling of listening to this album while driving home alone at 4 am.- zv"

The yet to be titled album is the first musical offering from the band since long-time drummer James ‘The Rev’ Sullivan passed away late last year.

Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) recorded all the drum tracks in the studio, with the new full length slated for a mid-year release.
