Crimson Day
Hail to the King is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold, released on August 23, 2013, through Warner Bros. Records. The album was produced by Mike Elizondo. Hail to the King was the only Avenged Sevenfold album to feature drummer Arin Ilejay, prior to his departure in July 2015. It was also the first Avenged Sevenfold album without musical contributions from Ilejay's late predecessor, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan; the bonus track, "St. James", was written in his memory.
The album was a critical and commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard 200. This marks Avenged Sevenfold's second album to top the Billboard chart (after Nightmare), as well as their first to reach number one in the UK, topping the UK Albums Chart. It also topped the Canadian, Brazilian, Finnish and Irish album charts, and spawned two number one singles on Billboard's Mainstream Rock, "Hail to the King", and "Shepherd of Fire". The former spent 11 weeks on the top of the chart. The album was certified Gold by both the BPI and the RMNZ, and Platinum by both the RIAA and Music Canada.
