The writing process for this new Avenged Sevenfold album has certainly been unique. Frontman M. Shadows has compared the sound to classic Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, which is pretty bold of him to say.

Then came the news that the band was giving old Pantera albums to their drummer as homework, which was questionable. But, regardless, the band is all done writing and will be entering the studio according to this new quote from Shadows.

From NME.com:

Avenged Sevenfold have confirmed that they will be in the studio next month to record the follow-up album to their 2010 album 'Nightmare'

Singer M Shadows confirmed to NME that their sixth album is almost ready to record: "This album's a little more groove orientated," he said. "There's a little bit more groove to it, a little bit more focused on bigger riffs. So that's where it's headed – every song has gotta have a huge riff and every song has to have a groove to it."

The band will be releasing the album next year, so expect a lot more Avenged updates in 2013. Are you excited?
