A report over at NME.com confirms that Avenged Sevenfold are still due in the studio next month to begin recording their next album. Band frontman M. Shadows said of the effort:
“This album’s a little more groove orientated. There’s a little bit more groove to it, a little bit more focused on bigger riffs. So that’s where it’s headed – every song has gotta have a huge riff and every song has to have a groove to it.”
