Originally released in 2010 and celebrating it's 15 Year Anniversary, Nightmare, was the first Avenged Sevenfold album to not feature drummer, The Rev after his tragic passing. The album is dedicated to his memory and a reflection of death and despair. Mike Portnoy would step in to finish the recording. The fifth full-length from California metal/hard rock legends, Avenged Sevenfold, is considered one of the best hard rock/metalcore albums of all time. Blending metal, punk, and hardcore with catchy melodies and face-shredding guitar solos, the band created an original sound all their own and built a cult-following that embraced the "deathbat" - an emblem that would become synonymous with the band and their fanbase.

Certified Platinum in the US and Canada, and Gold in the UK, Nightmare, features hit songs "Nightmare" and "Welcome To The Family" - the former hitting #1 on the Active Rock chart and peaking at #51 on Hot 100 chart (the band's biggest song to date). Songs from the album have been featured on Call Of Duty: Black Ops, Rock Band, Rock Smith, and a number of video games and films. Celebrating 15 years of the seminal album, the band is bigger than ever, on a massive worldwide headline tour in 15,000-20,000 capacity arenas. The multiple-Golden God, Loudwire, and Kerrang! Award winners are reissuing Nightmare on brand new color variants. For Fans Of: Slipknot, Disturbed, System Of A Down, My Chemical Romance, Metallica Vinyl Color: Purple w/ Black Splatter
