One of the most anticipated rock releases of 2013 drops this Friday (August 23rd) when Avenged Sevenfold release their sixth record Hail To The King, the follow up their hugely successful 2010 release Nightmare.

Hailed by Revolver as "THE sound and face of hard rock and metal in the new millennium", Avenged Sevenfold are currently enjoying the most successful spell of their careers. With Nightmare debuting at #1 in the Billboard Top 200, as well as the Hard Rock and Digital charts, the Californian band are primed to take their sound to a whole new level with Hail To The King. We've hooked up with the kind folk in Warner Music to offer you a 'try before you buy' option on iTunes, so to give the album a test drive just visit this link.

Now, Avenged Sevenfold will play their biggest ever Irish show in December when they tread the boards at The O2 on December 3rd and, as ever, we have tickets to give away too. Check out the video below to learn more!
