Their name is based on the philosophy of, "what goes around comes around." M. Shadows got it from the biblical story of God's wrath upon Cain for killing his brother Abel.

Quote: "Therefore whoever slayeth, Cain vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold."b

From a7xam28 it also says "then Cain shall be Avenged Sevenfold"

Avenged Sevenfold is an American rock band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1999.

As of 2010, the band consists of vocalist Matthew Charles Sanders (better known by his stage name, M. Shadows), lead guitarist Brian Elwin Haner, Jr. (better known by his stage name, Synyster Gates), rhythm guitarist Zachary James Baker (better known as his stage name, Zacky Vengeance) and bassist Jonathan Lewis Seward (better known by his stage name, Johnny Christ).

Their drummer was James Owen Sullivan (better known by his stage name, The Reverend Tholomew Plague, or just The Rev.) until he died in 2009 of a polydrug intoxication and alcohol.

Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater drummed in place of the Rev. for the band's latest album Nightmare.

In January of 2011, Avenged Sevenfold announced their new drummer to be Arin Ilejay, former drummer of the band Confide. He is their permanent drummer as of 2012.

The band has released five albums to date:

  • Sounding the Seventh Trumpet (with the Rev.)
  • Waking the Fallen (with the Rev.)
  • City of Evil (with the Rev.)
  • Avenged Sevenfold (with the Rev.)
  • Nightmare (with Mike Portnoy)
  • Not Ready to Die -- single (with Arin Ilejay)
  • Carry On -- single (with Arin Ilejay)

There have been rumors of Aveneged Sevenfold releasing a sixth album, but the release date has not been confirmed as of October 2012.

It is a biblical reference. It means avenged seven times.

Meaning, the Fold as a multiplication sign to form The two lines crossing each other

So that's why its Avenged SevenFOLD (X).

It refers to Cain and Abel when Cain killed Abel for jealousy.
An "avenged sevenfold" is a sevenfold vengeance. I'm not sure what a "sevenfold" is, but it's in The Bible. Chapter 4 of the book of Genesis to be exact (that's where they got the idea for the song "Chapter Four")

They picked the name by going through the bible and finding things that sounded cool. That's pretty much it.

Avenged sevenfold literally means to get vengeance seven times over. It originated in the Bible to describe when Cain killed Abel. Cain would feel God's vengeance.

What does sevenfold mean?

Maybe you're referring to Avenged Sevenfold (great band, by the way) whose name comes from a bible verse, Genesis 4:15. But the Lord said to him, "Not so. Anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance sevenfold." So, like seven times greater vengeance than for another sin? Just my personal interpretation.
