NAME:
Avenged Sevenfold
ABOUT
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. Diehard fans look to A7X with the same reverence as Guns N’ Roses or Metallica.
The Southern California institution has sold over 10 million records worldwide, with two consecutive No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 top albums chart and multiple No. 1 rock singles.
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.
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.
One of Kerrang!’s 50 Greatest Metal Albums Ever and Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time, City of Evil (2005) helped the band earn Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards. Their self-titled fourth album was their first to debut in the Top 5 on the Billboard 200. Nightmare topped the Billboard charts upon its release and was certified platinum by the RIAA in January 2011. Avenged Sevenfold released another career-defining monster in Hail To The King (2013), a record of hard rock hooks, riffs, rhythms, and grooves as undeniably strong as any before it in hard rock history.
As The Guardian noted upon the surprise release of 2016’s The Stage, “the Californians could have been forgiven repeating the thunderous anthems of Hail To The King, but instead, they have blown the creative doors off.” Far from nihilistic despair, the expansive themes and existentialist exploration of Life Is But A Dream… offer liberation from free will and determinism. The aim is for the audience to aspire, in life, to what Avenged Sevenfold aspires to in art. Confrontation, reinvention, acceptance, surrender, struggle, and the courage to fail, on our own terms, with integrity.
