Avenged Sevenfold Unveil Highly Experimental New Song “We Love You”: Stream

The post Avenged Sevenfold Unveil Highly Experimental New Song “We Love You”: Stream appeared first on Consequence.

Avenged Sevenfold have unleashed a new single, “We Love You,” along with a 360-degree virtual reality video. The song is the second track released off the band’s upcoming album, Life Is But a Dream, which arrives June 2nd.

This time around, the band gets highly experimental, as “We Love You” features different styles and sounds, jumping around from prog-rock to hardcore to industrial before ending with an extended acoustic outro. Thematically, a press release describes the song as “an ode to decrying the rat race.”

As for the music video, artist Ryan McKinnon used Unreal Engine to create the innovative visual experience, which has been optimized for Oculus in VR and 360 on YouTube. The visualizer shows beautiful nature scenes, but then, “the pressure of society takes over and the world starts building at a crazy pace.”

“We Love You” follows the album’s first single  “Nobody.”, which was released in March.

In other news, Avenged Sevenfold have announced a surprise show for tonight (May 12) at Area 15 in Las Vegas, marking their first concert in five years. After that, they have North American gigs booked from May 19th through October 15th, with tickets available here.
