The trajectory of Avenged Sevenfold and their sonic evolution.
Since their formation in 1999, Avenged Sevenfold has undergone a great musical evolution. From the brutal metalcore of Sounding the Seventh Trumpet (2001) and Waking the Fallen (2003) to the melodic and accessible metal of City of Evil (2005), the band has always surprised fans with its versatility. This maturation continued with albums like Nightmare (2010), which reflected the loss of drummer The Rev , and Hail to the King (2013), which pays homage to metal classics. Their most recent album, Life Is But a Dream… (2023), brought an experimental and philosophical approach, proving that the band continues to innovate.
5 songs that can't be missing from the show
“A Little Piece of Heaven”
One of the band's most iconic and theatrical songs, "A Little Piece of Heaven" stands out for its symphonic sound and macabre narrative. Blending elements of Broadway musicals with heavy metal, the track tells a story of love, death, and possession, with a touch of dark humor. Live, this song is always one of the most anticipated moments, with fans singing every verse in unison.
“Gunslinger”
One of the most beloved ballads by fans, “Gunslinger” begins acoustically and melancholically, building to a powerful chorus. The lyrics speak of longing and distance, inspired by soldiers leaving for war. The combination of captivating melody and intense emotion makes this a song that generates a great impact on the audience.
“Seize The Day”
One of the band's most emotional songs, "Seize The Day" speaks of loss and regret, featuring a striking guitar solo by Synyster Gates. The sound begins softly and melancholic, but intensifies, creating a thrilling climax. Whenever played live, this song provides a moment of connection between the band and the audience.
“Nobody“
One of the most experimental tracks on the album Life Is But a Dream… , “Nobody” combines elements of progressive metal and atmospheric synthesizers, creating a unique sonic experience. The philosophical lyrics reflect on mortality and existence, central themes of the album. Its inclusion in the setlist would represent the most recent and innovative side of Avenged Sevenfold.
“Save Me”
One of the band's longest and most epic songs, "Save Me" closes the album Nightmare with an intense sonic journey of over 10 minutes. The song goes through several changes in rhythm and atmosphere, with lyrics that speak of grief and acceptance.

Mr. Bungle and Karen Dió: The luxury openings
Before Avenged Sevenfold takes the stage, fans will have the opportunity to watch two unmissable performances.
Mr. Bungle , with Mike Patton ( Faith No More ) on vocals, is known for its experimental sound and unpredictable performances. The group, which mixes metal, jazz, funk, and even film soundtracks, promises an intense show focused on their latest album, The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo , which is a re-recording of a demo tape released in 1986.

Karen Dió will bring her unique energy to the stage, adding even more diversity to the evening. The Brazilian singer-songwriter gained recognition as the vocalist of the band Violet Soda , until their separation in 2021. Her solo career, which began before the band, maintains strong rock and punk rock influences, reflecting her authentic musical identity.
