Andda characteristics that can enjoy their music in every song which is melodic and screaming, storming hardcore riffs and drum-beats. In the case of music, Avenged Sevenfold heavily influenced by bands such as Pantera, NOFX, Misfits, Guns N 'Roses, Metallica, Dream Theater and Iron Maiden.
They tend to play an aggressive tone on vocals, guitar, and drums (bass remain static). With the touch of a dynamic, not hard or later, they continue to use the extraordinary harmony and composition at regular intervals. Call it the songs are a bit melow, such as Seize the Day and Dear God, his guitar still in the drop Dm as well as metal-metal mostly. Then, in addition to composition and his trademark drop, sweep picking nuances Syn insert (arpeggios) in almost all the songs. Sweep picking beauty combined with the chromatic, slides, and other techniques can we hear in the song The Wicked End. Also, do not forget to also bring a touch of acoustic atmosphere like in Hawaii, can we hear in the song Sidewinder. However, another characteristic that is never separated from them, Syn and Zacky menduetkan guitar, wearing a double bass with a tempo that was several times his beats than usual.
