Where this album fits

- Released on December 2, 2016, 'The Best of 2005–2013' encapsulates Avenged Sevenfold's evolution from their breakthrough album 'City of Evil' to the experimental sounds in 'Hail to the King'. This compilation marks a period where they solidified their position in the heavy metal scene, following the tragic loss of drummer Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan in 2009, which profoundly influenced their music and direction.
