There are also rumors that the band is planning a summer tour with Disturbed and Stone sour. According to Metal Hammer, the tour will begin on August 24th in Ontario Canada. The band is also working in the studio with Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy on a new album.


This is exciting for Avenged sevenfold fans who were left wondering what the future of the band would be without Sullivan behind the kit.While the band is known the intense riffs of guitar wielding duo of Zacky Vengance and Synister Gates, and the massive vocals of Singer M.
