Following March’s monstrous Nobody, Avenged Sevenfold have just
unleashed the next single from their long-awaited eighth album Life Is But A
Dream…
This one’s called We Love You, and across its six-minute run time
it takes in everything from techno to thrash, with fans praising A7X’s
brilliantly bold experimentation and Mr. Bungle-esque feel.
And just as frontman M. Shadows promised a couple of months ago,
We Love You is very much proof of his comments that the album as a whole has “got a bunch of flavours and colours, we don’t stay too long
anywhere, it’s kind of in and out. It’s a different mind-set, completely
reworked from what we think of as records and how they should be made. And what
I mean by that is The Stage is a sprawling sort of vibe the whole time – it’s
got a thing going on. But this one we were like, ‘We want to express ideas quickly,
and more concise. And we want to use different ways that we’re using our
instruments.’”
