Sounding the Seventh Trumpet was generally well received by critics. Allmusic rated the album three stars out of five and wrote: "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet
is a magnificent album that is suitable for any fan of metal music, as
Avenged Sevenfold has a firm grasp on all that is extreme." The review

Night" as being "...excellent metalcore masterpieces, as the vocal
harmonies add to these cuts to evolve the songs into fully atmospheric
sonic blasts."Videography
