For a legion of devoted adherents, the Avenged Sevenfold catalog is part of the DNA of modern hard rock and a constantly evolving soundtrack documenting the band’s creative twists and turns. Driven by a muscular melodicism, urgent intensity, and adventurous spirit, A7X anthems account for over two billion streams, over ten million records sold worldwide, two consecutive No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 Top Albums chart, and multiple No. 1 rock singles.
Since its formation in Huntington Beach, California, in 1999, the band combined a passion for extreme music and subculture with a determination to blaze its own path. Their newest record 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.
At the forefront of rapidly changing technology, cultural mile markers, and new ways for communities to engage, Avenged Sevenfold is steadily constructing its own ecosystem in real time, existing in a symbiotic relationship with its audience based on complete trust and mutual respect. Life Is But A Dream… is the natural creative anchor and sonically immersive environment for this mission.
