JAKARTA - Frontman Avenged Sevenfold (A7X), M. Shadows told Kerrang! about the status of their new album, the follow-up to The Stage which was released four years ago.
According to Shadows, they had saved up a number of new materials before finally being stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the cultivation process has become more relaxed.
He also emphasized that Avenged Sevenfold has no plans to release new music until they can hold another tour.
"Nobody wants to release a record if we can't go on tour," said Shadows.
Meanwhile, talking about the musical direction contained in the new material A7X Shadows says will be a lot different from The Stage.
"This album is not like The Stage. The direction is completely different and doesn't sound like anything we've ever made. It's wild," continued Shadows.
The Stage itself when released via Capitol in 2016 sold less than half of their previous album sales; Nightmare (2010) and Hail To The King (2013) in the first week.
This album sold 76 thousand copies of which 73 thousand were in physical format. This is the lowest sales for A7X in 11 years.
