Avenged Sevenfold guitarist Zacky Vengeance has explained how he and his bandmates “fell in love” with St Anger, arguably the most divisive album in Metallica’s back-catalogue.
In a new interview with radio station WRIF, the 44-year-old, who co-founded his California metal band in 1999, says that while the 2003 effort isn’t his favourite Metallica album, he at least came to respect it for trying new things, especially its incredibly raw style of production.
