Avenged Sevenfold have announced two special vinyl reissues. The band recently released their brand new studio album Life Is But a Dream. While that record is still fresh off the presses, the band is honoring two of their previous releases to commemorate their milestone anniversaries.

On September 1, Avenged Sevenfold will release special gold vinyl editions of their 2013 album Hail to the King and their 2003 album Waking the Fallen to commemorate their 10th and 20th anniversaries, respectively.
