AVENGED SEVENFOLD Offers Fans 'All Excess'

July 17, 2007

Launch Radio Networks reports: AVENGED SEVENFOLD releases its first-ever DVD, "All Excess", on Tuesday (July 17). The disc features a number of live clips, music videos, three "making of the video" features and a documentary on the group's roots and history right up to the present. Frontman M. Shadows said in a statement, "This DVD has been eight years in the making...This DVD shows everything from life backstage on the bus to some of the first shows in our hometown. We didn't leave anything off that fans have been asking about for all these years."

Shadows told Launch that he has a lot of fond memories of the band's early years and the way that the group worked to build itself. "My favorite thing is looking back on it and, like, knowing that you're in a van living on one dollar a day, sleeping in truck stops, and it's just fun to think about it because it wasn't that bad, but it was like, I just like that this band went through, like, five years of doing that before anything happened, because it feels good to be at this point, especially with that history, and developing as a band and developing naturally instead of kind of getting thrown out there," he said.

The DVD premiered on Monday night (July 16) at selected theatres around the country.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD will release its fourth album in October. The self-titled disc will follow up the band's nearly platinum 2005 breakthrough effort, "City of Evil". Shadows told MTV.com that the group set out "to make the most down-to-the-bone AVENGED SEVENFOLD album we could."

The band has confirmed several overseas live shows this summer, including a gig in Jakarta, Indonesia on August 7, a show in Singapore on August 9, and Japanese shows in Osaka and Tokyo on August 11 and August 12.
