AVENGED SEVENFOLD bassist Johnny Christ is featured in a new interview with Germany's EMP Rock Invasion:

Avenged Sevenfold's Hail To The King is well on its way to living up to its name. The album, released by Warner Bros. Records, earned the band its second #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, selling upwards of 159,400 units, making it the biggest first-week sales debut for a rock album this year. Hail To The King also went to #1 in the UK, handing the band its first chart-topping album in Britain, as well as in Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Ireland, and Finland.

Avenged Sevenfold has just wrapped up sold-out tour dates in the US and Europe, including a sold-out show at Wembley in the UK. With all of this momentum, Machinima, the number one global video entertainment network for young males, has announced that the Hail To The King animated series will be released on December 15th for binge-viewing on Machinima's HappyHour channel (YouTube.com/HappyHour).

From the creative minds of Avenged Sevenfold, one of rock music's global heavyweights and a trailblazing force in fusing the worlds of music and video games, Hail To The King is a six-episode animated series, which is directed by Metalocalypse producer Jon Schnepp. The unique and innovative series tells the fictional story of the Deathbat - the band's longtime trademark, and serves as the prologue to their highly anticipated mobile video game, Hail to the King: Deathbat. Accompanying the launch of the series will be a trailer for the game, which will be available early 2014. With the series launching in just days, Machinima has released an all-new trailer.

Produced by Mike Elizondo, Hail To The King is the follow up to the band's 2010 release, Nightmare, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, Hard Rock Chart and Digital Chart.
