Avenged Sevenfold share new single ‘Nobody’ and announce new album ‘Life Is But A Dream’
Avenged Sevenfold have shared new single ‘Nobody’ as well as announcing their first new album in six years, ‘Life Is But A Dream’.Set to arrive on June 2, the new album will be the band’s eighth studio album, following their progressive 2016 release, ‘The Stage’.Entitled ‘Life Is But A Dream’, the album was written and recorded over the course of four years, and sees the four-piece channel the wisdom of French philosopher Albert Camus.Not only does the motif of the album centre around Camus’ written work, but the lyrics of frontman M. Shadows also follow suit, and will be rooted in existentialism and absurdism.‘Nobody’, the first single taken from the upcoming release, is available now – along with an accompanying stop-motion music video, directed by award-winning director Chris Hopewell.
