Profil Matt Shadows Vocalis A7X

 

Matthew Charles Sanders (born July 31, 1981), better known by his stage name M. Shadows, is the lead vocalist, songwriter and founding member of the American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold. Shadows possesses the voice type of a baritone, and is well known for his distinctively gritty singing style as well as occasional screaming. 

M.Shadows began singing at an early age, but his interest in rock music grew as he became older and began to play the guitar. He links his early musical experience with the piano as a major factor in developing his skills with the guitar and his voice. He attended Huntington Beach High School, where he played for a brief stint in a punk band named "Successful Failure". Following this, Shadows formed Avenged Sevenfold in 1999 along with high school friends Zacky Vengeance, The Rev and Matt Wendt. Soon after, the Rev's friend Synyster Gates joined Avenged Sevenfold as the lead guitarist. In 2001, the band released their first studio album, Sounding The Seventh Trumpet. The self-produced album, which was in the metalcore style, gained mixed to positive reviews from critics. Following the success of their first album, the band released a second album, Waking the Fallen, in 2003. Later in 2003, Shadows and Avenged Sevenfold played in the Vans Warped Tour.
In the DVD "All Excess, M. Shadows claims that everyone in the band had been assigned to come up with a list of names, but that only he had followed through. The name Avenged Sevenfold, a reference to the Book of Genesis, was chosen over Lips of Deceit, another Biblical reference.
