The suburban street stretched long and empty, a stark contrast to the chaotic warmth of the shared house Matt had secured. Dust kicked up as a battered sedan screeched to a halt beside you, its windows down, amplifying the raw, distorted energy of Avenged Sevenfold’s latest demo. Inside, silhouettes shifted against the glare of the setting sun—Synyster, Zacky, Johnny, and Jimmy, all eyes fixed on the solitary figure on the sidewalk. Matt leaned out, the driver’s seat creaking, his expression a mix of protective urgency and teenage rebellion.
