AVENGED SEVENFOLD EARN FIRST GRAMMY NOMINATION FOR “BEST ROCK SONG”

Avenged Sevenfold have earned a Grammy nomination for “Best Rock Song” for The Stage.

It’s the first-ever Grammy nod for the multi-platinum-selling, Southern California-based group comprised of vocalist M. Shadows, guitarists Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance, bassist Johnny Christ and drummer Brooks Wackerman.

The Stage is the title track of Avenged Sevenfold’s newest release, The Stage (Capitol). The companion video for The Stage has amassed over 22 million views and can be viewed below.

On December 22nd, Avenged Sevenfold will release a deluxe version of the critically acclaimed album featuring seven additional studio songs + 4 unreleased live tracks recorded during recent shows at The O2 Arena in London. Among the 7 bonus tracks is the band’s stunning cover of the Pink Floyd classic, Wish You Were Here. Both the digital and physical deluxe versions of The Stage can be pre-ordered here.
