AVENGED SEVENFOLD
The Stage era continues…
After touring the United States with Breaking Benjamin and Bullet For My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold will be hitting up festivals on both sides of the pond, including what will no doubt be a blockbuster showing at Download festival in June. And, perhaps unsurprisingly given its scale and scope, M Shadows feels there’s plenty more life in The Stage, too.
“The Stage is the record I’m most proud of, and usually, a year down the line, I don’t think that about our latest record,” the frontman admits of the space-themed behemoth they surprise-released at the tail end of 2016.
“We want to do something with Neil deGrasse Tyson [the celeb astrophysicist who appeared on the album]. Maybe we could do some big pieces with him to educate people to dig a little deeper and look at their place in the cosmos. I don’t know how we do that exactly, whether it’s a movie or a graphic novel, but it’s something we want to do...”
An Avenged Sevenfold space-movie? Oh, we are so in on that.
