    Mike Portnoy recording with Avenged Sevenfold.

    Avenged Sevenfold issued a statement yesterday saying:

    "We want our fans to know that with Jimmy in our hearts, our journey to record has officially began. Jimmy helped leave this world an amazing gift and now it's our job to make sure to deliver that gift to our fans.

    "We asked Jimmy's all time favorite drummer Mike Portnoy to record on behalf of him. Mike said it would be an honor and without question that’s what Jim would have wanted. Its comforting to us that someone like Mike, who is undoubtedly revered as one of the best drummers in the world, held such respect and adoration for the Rev's abilities.

    "Even though it will never be the same without our brother by our side, his essence lives in our hearts and through the music he helped create. He was a legend before any of the success or any of that bullshit and we are fucking excited to lay this down for our fans, and especially for Jimmy.

    Avenged Sevenfold"

    To complete their new album, the band recruited Dream Theatre drummer, Mike Portnoy, Jimmy Sullivans' favourite drummer, as mentioned above.

    Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan passed away on the 28th of December 2009 and toxicology reports have resulted inconclusive. Jimmy was laid to rest on the 6th of January 2010, with over 600 guests including Lostprophets and Brian Haner Sr.

    Avenged Sevenfolds new release is expected to be released July this year.

    Can't wait for the album, hopefully though this new drummer doesnt suck it up. Since personally I don't like Dream Theater..

    That surely sounds great to me. Never really dug that much into any Dream Theater songs, but I'm gonna check some out now.
