Avenged Sevenfold’s mainstream success got them an invitation to 2006’s Ozzfest tour on the main stage, alongside other well known hard rock and heavy metal acts DragonForce, Lacuna Coil, Hatebreed, Disturbed and System of a Down. After being on tour for sixteen months in promotion of City of Evil, Avenged Sevenfold announced that they were cancelling their Fall 2006 tour in favor of recording new music. M. Shadows stated that their fourth studio album—which the Avenged Sevenfold self-titled and self-produced—would not be a “City of Evil Part 2” or “Waking the Fallen Part 2,” but would incorporate a new, grittier sound.
To tide the fans over in between albums, Avenged Sevenfold released their first DVD titled All Excess on July 17, 2007. All Excess, which debuted as the #1 DVD in the USA, included live performances and backstage footage that spanned the Avenged Sevenfold eight year career. Two tribute albums, Strung Out on Avenged Sevenfold: Bat Wings and Broken Strings and Strung Out on Avenged Sevenfold: The String Tribute were also released in October 2007.
Avenged Sevenfold, the band’s fourth album, was released on October 30, 2007, debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200 with over 90,000 copies sold. Two singles, “Critical Acclaim” and “Almost Easy” were released prior to the album’s debut.

Avenged Sevenfold – City of Evil
City of Evil, Avenged Sevenfold third album and major label debut, was released on June 7, 2005 and debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling over 30,000 copies in its first week of release. It utilized a more epic, classic metal sound than Avenged Sevenfold’s previous albums, which had been grouped into the metalcore genre. 
The album is also notable for the absence of screamed and growled vocals; M. Shadows worked with vocal coach Ron Anderson—whose clients have included Axl Rose and Chris Cornell—for months before the album’s release to achieve a sound that had “grit while still having the tone”. The album received steller reviews from several magazines and websites and is credited for propelling the band into international popularity.
After playing Ozzfest in 2006, Avenged Sevenfold memorably beat out R&B Singers Rihanna and Chris Brown, Panic! at the Disco, Angels and Airwaves and James Blunt for the title of Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards, thanks in part to their Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas-inspired song “Bat Country.”
Avenged Sevenfold returned to the Vans Warped Tour, this time headlining and then continued on their own “Cities of Evil Tour.” In addition, their lead single “Bat Country” reached #2 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Charts, #6 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Charts and the accompanying video made it to #1 on MTV’s Total Request Live. Propelled by this success, the album sold well and became Avenged Sevenfold’s first gold record. It was later certified platinum in August 2009.
