The band would release a three-song demo in early-1999, and hit the studio again shortly after. It was at this time that the band had attracted the ears of Good Life Recordings (Dead Blue Sky, Course of Action). The label quickly commissioned Avenged Sevenfold to release the new songs on a MiniCD, entitled "Warmness on the Soul," to make the band's name and music familiar to hardcore and metal listeners worldwide. Avenged Sevenfold's debut full-length, "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet," would be released in mid-2001. In early-2002, the band announced its jump from Good Life to Hopeless/Sub-City Records to bolster the Avenged Sevenfold's promotion, touring, and record distribution in the United States. Hopeless/Sub-City re-released "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet" in March 2002 with brand new packaging. Musically, the band combines hardcore, metal, punk, and rock to create songs ranging from power ballads to blazing metal-thrash tracks. Vocals consist of singing, metal growling, and harmonization. Fans of the aforementioned genres may want to check out Avenged Sevenfold.
