Published on May 04, 2010 @ 2:12PM // SHARE ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK!

According to Hard Drive Radio, Mike Portnoy will be the drummer for Avenged Sevenfold during the Rockstar Uproar tour later this year. Also, they say the album is due July 27th and the first single is entitled "Nightmare".

And speaking of Uproar, I am hearing Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater will be the touring drummer with Avenged Sevenfold. Mike plays on the new to-be-titled Avenged Sevenfold album, due July 27. The first single, which I heard in LA, is called "Nightmare" and it is smoking hot!
