AVENGED SEVENFOLD will release their new album, Hail To The King, on August 27th via Warner Bros. Records. An update from the band follows:

"We have been waiting to show you all our brand new album, Hail To The King, for far too long. It took us nine months of writing, recording and preparation so that we could put out an album we are all proud of from start to finish. Well I'm excited to announce that the wait is over. We have teamed up with our friends at iTunes to start streaming the full album right now until it's released on August 27th. The stream is high quality and you can listen to the whole album as many times as you'd like. So plug in your best set of headphones and turn it up to 10. Head over there now to listen and pre-order. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. See you all on the road!"
