Talking About The Success Of The Fallen Sevenfold, Matt Shadows: We're Lucky

JAKARTA - The journey of Averaged Sevenfold as a band did not run smoothly. Initiated by Matt Shadows and James Sullivan in California in 1999, the new band released their debut album Sounding the Seventh Trumpet in 2001.

As a young kid from California, the Averaged Sevenfold in the early days had a musical experience on stage at small clubs.

But now, Matt Shadows cs has circled the world and performed on the stage and major music festivals.

Matt Shadows saw that many bands started their journey like Avenged, but not all of them had the same fate. He felt lucky to be there for him.

"Now, listen, people do that all the time and it doesn't work for them. We are very grateful. We were very lucky," Matt Shadows said during an interview with A R Rhaydio in Srypto Paulo, Brazil recently.

Shadows see the California neighborhood helps them get a lot of benefits compared to other regions.

We are very lucky because we appeared in a California neighborhood where there are many bands that have built audiences. We are close to LA, where there are a lot of record labels," said Shadows.

We were able to get a start that many people couldn't get. And we were very lucky to grow up with someone playing guitar and someone playing drums and someone who wanted to write songs and sing. So there was so much luck involved," he concluded.
