As you may recall, Brooks Wackerman recently left his former band, Bad Religion. Well, now he has joined Avenged Sevenfold. According to a recent interview, the band had been contemplating drafting Brooks for some time. Avenged Sevenfold frontman M. Shadows said in the interview:

"To be honest, Brooks's name has always been in the mix.
