Today, multi-platinum headliners Avenged Sevenfold release their highly anticipated eighth album, Life Is But a Dream… via Warner Records. This genre-bending, bold and unnerving collection is their first full-length since 2016, and features the lead single Nobody, which has secured its place in the Top 5 at Rock Radio. A7X dig deep into the components that elicit the strongest emotions, toggling between the light and the dark in refreshingly strange and catchy ways. Transitions and tempo changes shred the rulebook, but there’s method to the madness.
Written and recorded over the span of four years, Life Is But a Dream… is designed to provoke and inspire, courageously broadening the new wave of American heavy metal sound pioneered by the band with confidence, attitude and intention. Upending predictable conventions without sacrificing hooks, the band’s eighth album champions discomfort, tension, rage, and groove with esoteric abandon, exploring the absurdity of life and death.
