Avenged Sevenfold‘s new album Life Is However A Dream goes to be fairly heady. Based on vocalist M. Shadows in an interview with Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, the album’s lyrics and ideas are largely primarily based on existentialism and absurdism. Which is not too stunning, given references to Albert Camus and Franz Kafka all through the teases for Life Is However A Dream.
“It is tied collectively in a manner that we’re exploring themes about existentialism and absurdism,” mentioned Shadows through Blabbermouth. “Some of these things is predicated off of the French thinker Albert Camus and differing types of existential concepts. So all of it form of performs collectively. It is not like we have now a tune about partying all night time and the subsequent tune is that this actually deep tune about ego disillusion.
“All of it performs inside this weighty type of material. The Stage was the identical manner, the place it wasn’t like Operation: Mindcrime, the place you are listening to a narrative during, however it has themes. So this is identical type of thought, that musically and thematically they’re all in line.”
Shadows has beforehand revealed that the brand new materials was influenced by means of psychedelic medicine, saying it was “this psychedelic expertise that took us into this ‘be daring [mentality]. Do not do psychedelics and make Pink Floyd. No, do your individual factor and make your individual stamp.'”
As for the one “No person,” Shadows revealed that there actually is not a superb “single” tune from the album.
“I despatched this document to some those who I do know, they usually’d already heard ‘No person’, they usually come again they usually go, ‘I can not imagine the place this document takes us.’ There was no good tune on the document to place out and go, like, ‘Oh, it is a illustration of… you are gonna perceive all the pieces for those who hear this.’ So we have been in a scenario the place it simply does not actually play by the principles when it comes to what’s gonna exit on the radio station and everybody’s gonna get it.”
“The best way I might describe it’s the document has a bunch of colours they usually stretch as far out as potential. Consider the universe, and ‘No person’ sits within the center and it is form of like a black gap. It is this large, weighty orchestra-driven existential disaster sucking in all the pieces in its manner. However the remainder of the document form of reaches out very broadly and paints with shiny colours, the place that is form of black-and-white and really dense.”
