The Stage (Deluxe Edition)

The Stage is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold, released on October 28, 2016, through Capitol Records. It was the first Avenged Sevenfold album in 11 years to not be released through Warner Bros. Records, due to a legal dispute between them and the band.

Upon release, the album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200. It received positive reviews from critics. The title track was nominated at 60th Annual Grammy Awards (2018) in "Best Rock Song" category.

Despite being a surprise release, The Stage debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 with 76,000 units, with 72,000 of that figure being pure album sales. As of January 2017, the album sold more than 170,000 copies in the US alone.
