The Avenged Sevenfold Announce New Album and 2025 World Tour Featuring Classic Lineup and Unreleased Tracks
After years of anticipation, Avenged Sevenfold (A7X) has officially announced an all-new album, set for release in early 2025, along with a highly anticipated world tour featuring their classic lineup. The band broke the news via social media, igniting excitement among millions of fans worldwide. This album will mark their first release since 2022’s Life Is but a Dream…, which pushed creative boundaries with experimental elements and unique storytelling.
The new album, which remains untitled, is rumored to be a return to the band’s core sound that originally put them on the map, featuring the aggressive riffs and complex compositions that defined their early work. Vocalist M. Shadows hinted in a recent interview that fans can expect a blend of nostalgia and innovation. “We wanted to revisit our roots with the same intensity that fans loved but with a fresh approach that reflects where we are as musicians today,” Shadows said. “There’s a lot we have in store that we can’t wait to unveil.”
Adding to the excitement, the album will feature a selection of unreleased tracks from past recording sessions, giving fans a look into the band’s extensive creative vault. Long-time followers are especially excited to hear these previously hidden gems, which include tracks from the City of Evil and Nightmare sessions.
The accompanying world tour is already being hailed as one of the most anticipated tours of 2025, with the band’s lineup reuniting the classic members: M. Shadows (vocals), Synyster Gates (lead guitar), Zacky Vengeance (rhythm guitar), Johnny Christ (bass), and Brooks Wackerman (drums). This reunion marks the first time in over a decade that the group will perform together at such a scale, focusing on major cities across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
The announcement has already stirred up ticketing demand, with venues expected to sell out rapidly. VIP packages will include meet-and-greet sessions, exclusive merchandise, and limited edition vinyl copies of the new album.
Fans are buzzing with excitement across social media, sharing memories and speculating about the album’s potential sound and setlist. The “Deathbats” community (as their fan base is known) is already planning pre-show meetups, costume gatherings, and tribute nights.
Avenged Sevenfold’s new album is slated for a February 2025 release, with the world tour kicking off shortly thereafter.
