M. Shadows discussed Avenged Sevenfold’s upcoming concert that will focus on their early albums, ‘Waking The Fallen’ and ‘City Of Evil,’ in a recent interview with Rock Feed.
The frontman said, “Yeah, we’re playing a show for about a thousand people. We’re gonna be playing only stuff from ‘Waking The Fallen’ and ‘City Of Evil.’”
“We’re just not a band that wants to go take an old record on tour right now — it’s doesn’t interest us, it doesn’t excite us, but one night does,” he explained. “And it really isn’t shots fired, ‘cause everyone’s doing those tours. Just for us, personally, it doesn’t wanna make us get out of bed and go do that. But one night seems really fun to us.”
The 25th anniversary event will take place on October 25 at the Observatory venue in Santa Ana, California, where the band will be joined by Death by Stereo. Tickets have been available since August, but only to members of the Deathbats Club.
Avenged Sevenfold and Death by Stereo have a history together that dates back two decades. The two bands toured together in the past while M. Shadows lent his vocals to two tracks on Death by Stereo’s 2005 album ‘Death For Life.’
Their new collaboration followed Avenged Sevenfold’s 2024 tour supporting their latest album, 2023’s ‘Life Is But A Dream…’
