In October, the hard-partying, grill-sporting dudes in Avenged Sevenfold will release the self-titled follow-up to 2005's City of Evil, the band's breakout LP that's sold close to 810,000 copies in the U.S. alone. The album is the California metalcore act's first attempt at self-producing, but according to frontman M. Shadows, that wasn't always the plan.
"We were going to do it with Rob Cavallo," said Shadows, referring to the producer behind Green Day's 2004 LP American Idiot and My Chemical Romance's 2006 effort The Black Parade. "It was such a great match — he loved the songs we'd been working on. But he was too busy working on Kid Rock's next record, and he wasn't going to be able to work on ours until later on in the year."
