Fans of Avenged Sevenfold‘s early days who already haven’t given up hope for a return to the bands heavier metalcore sound now have good reason to give up hope. Band frontman M. Shadows recently talked with Thejakartopost.com and was asked if the band would ever go back to metalcore:
“The metalcore has been left behind. It’s not something that any of us find enjoyment in listening to, so it’s obviously that the direction we would write songs in. I wouldn’t hold my breath for a comeback. We are ever evolving and never repeat ourselves.”
He then elaborated:
“I want to stay away from trends and do what we want to do musically. We write music because we have to — it’s a part of our very being. As we develop I just see us following our heart on this musical journey.”
