Avenged Sevenfold score their first Number 1 album in the UK

The official charts company has confirmed that Avenged Sevenfold scored their first ever Number 1 album in the UK yesterday with 'Hail to the King'. Despite some strong competition from Naughty Boy, Franz Ferdinand and Bob Dylan, the Orange County band raced ahead to take the top spot.

“It has been a hell of a ride thus far and having our first Number 1 album in the UK is a monumental achievement for our fans and us. I remember playing the 100 Club to prove to our fans we were willing to start from the ground up again to earn your respect. Thank you for putting Heavy Metal back on the throne. We look forward to growing old with you.” - Zacky Vengeance (Avenged Sevenfold)

'Hail to the King' is A7X’s sixth studio album and is the follow up to the fantastic 'Nightmare'. The title track of the new album has has already notched up over 5.5 Million views so far and that's a lot for a Metal band, their not Justin Bieber. So well done to the Avenged Sevenfold boys for putting Metal back into the mainstream.
