Here’s every major release available in DRM-free iTunes Plus format:

| Album | Year | Key Track (M4A Benefit) | |-------|------|------------------------| | Sounding the Seventh Trumpet | 2001 | “Warmness on the Soul” – piano dynamics are crisp, no MP3 “warbling.” | | Waking the Fallen | 2003 | “Unholy Confessions” – palm-muted chugs have tight transient response. | | City of Evil | 2005 | “Bat Country” – ride cymbal decay and twin leads are airy, not smeared. | | Avenged Sevenfold (White Album) | 2007 | “A Little Piece of Heaven” – the full brass/string section separation is stunning. | | Nightmare | 2010 | “Nightmare” – kick drum attack and Mike Portnoy’s ghost notes are preserved. | | Hail to the King | 2012 | “Shepherd of Fire” – low-end rumble without distortion. | | The Stage | 2016 | “The Stage” – the 8-bit intro and prog-rock mix clarity. | | Life Is But a Dream… | 2023 | “Nobody” – synth pads and odd-time signatures breathe naturally. |

Note: Live albums (Live in the LBC, Live at the Grammy Museum) and rarities (Diamonds in the Rough) are also available in the same high-quality M4A format. avengedsevenfolddiscographyitunesplusaacm4a
