Avenged Sevenfold have unveiled the second Life Is But a Dream single as well as a subsequent music video. The track is titled “We Love You” and it’s another experimental track, this time with some screaming in it.
The track follows “Nobody,” the lead single off A7X’s first new album since 2016’s The Stage and, much like that track, “We Love You” is a real head-turner that takes stylistic detours down a few different roads, mixing up gentle acoustic moments, pulsing industrial passages topped by spoken word vocals and some aggressive metal passages.
Decker spoke with A7X bassist Johnny Christ about the upcoming record, and Christ gave great insight into the theme at the center of Life Is But A Dream.
‘I think the overarching philosophy on this is, especially lyrically, is just the absurdism and coming to grips with what we believe through our own lives is at the end it’s just the end…there is an actual distinct and definite end to everything…and coming to grips with that…and dropping into the abyss of nothingness…’
The new album will be released on June 2nd later on this year, and can be preordered HERE. Check out the 360-degree VR music video for “We Love You” below!
