Formed in the summer of 1999 in Hungtinton Beach, California. The band made its official debut in July 2001, releasing Sounding the Seventh Trumpet on the Good Life label, before moving to the Hopeless roster for 2003's Waking the Fallen. Warner Bros took interest in the band's aggressive sound and issued their breakthrough release, City of Evil, in June 2005.

The album reached number 30 on Billboard's Top 200, propelled in part by the Top Ten success of the single Bat Country. The accompany music video was heavily rotated on MTV and Fuse, where live appearances also helped boost Avenged's growing profile, and the band ultimately won the Best New Artist Award (though they were hardly newcomers) at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards.
