LOS ANGELES – Pantera found its growl and groove on COWBOYS FROM HELL, a landmark album whose bone-powdering intensity, razor-sharp riffing and pummeling rhythmic assault represented a turning point in modern metal when it was released in 1990.

Avenged Sevenfold have survived a hellish six months since the death of their drummer Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan in December 2009, but their upcoming disc Nightmare was actually 98 percent completed before the 28-year-old fell to an accidental drug overdose. “It’s the darkest, the coldest, most numb album I’ve ever heard, because we went there during the hardest time, basically with tears in our eyes, and recorded the songs our friend had helped write,” guitarist Zacky Vengeance tells Rolling Stone. “Having to listen to the demos he played on, we put up a shield. We turned the rest of the world off, marched in there, and went to work. Looking back, I don’t even know how we did it.”
