Avenged Sevenfold

Stanky, nasty AND gnarly...just how we like it! This week's guest on Discover New Music is Jack Underkofler of Dead Poet Society, who stopped by to talk about the band's brand new record "Monarch", coming October 2nd. Jack talks about why it takes the band so long to write an album, working with producer Paul Meany and mixer Adam Hawkins, and how they created that nasty, groove-heavy sound on tracks like "Cold". He also gets into directing the band's music videos, the creepy/unsettling visual style they've created for the album, and the interactive "house" website where fans can even leave the band voicemails. As always, a quick round of Rapid Fire...with Billy Corgan, Bigfoot and a couple of very confusing 80s songs!
