AVENGED SEVENFOLD To Film New Video Next Week

AVENGED SEVENFOLD will film a music video for an as-yet-undisclosed song on Wednesday, February 8 in the Los Angeles area.

The band is seeking “rockers that have no problem bringing energy” to appear in the clip, which is expected to arrive in the coming weeks.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD‘s last video was for the title track of the group’s 2016 album “The Stage”. Inspired by “The Lonely Goatherd” from “The Sound Of Music”, the clip was said to be guitarist Zacky Vengeance‘s “personal pet project” for two months, working with acclaimed director Chris Hopewell, known primarily for his collaboration with RADIOHEAD.

In response to the atrocities and societal unrest we have seen across the world in 2016, Zacky used “The Stage” to “remind people that ultimately when you let history repeat itself then you’re the puppets.”

“The Stage” debuted at No. 4 on The Billboard 200 album chart back in November following its surprise release. Co-produced by the band and Joe Barresi, the disc features eleven panoramic tracks tied together by an Artificial Intelligence theme. Inspired by the writings of Carl Sagan and Elon Musk, the album is the band’s first thematic release. While the term “AI” conjures up images of robots and fantasy films, the band steers clear of a science fiction storyline. Instead, the album sees them taking a futurist’s look at the accelerated rate at which technology’s intelligence is expanding and what that means — good and bad — for the future.

The group made “The Stage” available at midnight on October 27 with almost no promotion beforehand, save for the arrival of a new song one week earlier.
