Avenged Sevenfold have released a brief teaser clip of a demo track from their seventh album.

The 50-second section comes at the end of a video message for fans, in which frontman M Shadows says: “We’re recording stuff right now. We’re not in the studio yet, but we’re demoing.”

No completion date has been confirmed for the follow-up to 2013’s Hail To The King, although it’s expected at some point this year. It’ll be their first release with drummer Brooks Wackerman, who joined the band last year.

Avenged Sevenfold’s only confirmed appearance for 2016 is on August 20 at the US Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota, with Metallica and Volbeat.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
