The creative minds of A7X strikes again

[MetalInferno]

Love how the guys drop the song and then the Barbie movie comes out and tackles very similar issues and philosophies just in a more lighthearted manner. Love to see both music and film outlets shedding light on things that get very glazed over in everyday media.

Has such 90s MTV vibes, best era for music videos imo, this was amazing!

[yotuba]

as a metal head who also collects dolls, I see this as an absolute win

[XimDrops]

Avenged Sevenfold never fails to mess with your brain and make you look within.

[nabirelizza]

this is crazy, weird, chaotic, dark, scary, depressing but hilarious in the same time, i love it so much

[DIZSTR]

I commend A7X for trying different things. In no way is this a "normal" metal track, and that's what I like about it.

[Duskbreaker]

We were also preoccupied with Barbenheimer, we didn't stop to think about Avenged Barbenfold!

[Alan-yrhj]

I do not know why they're hella stoned.. but I love it 😂

[chandraabudiman]

Avenged Sevenfold never stopped experimenting and trying new things. Love this new album so much!

[RileySelfHelp]

A great critique on how life repeats and doesn't change.

I saw Avenged Sevenfold play in NYC with Falling in Reverse back in June, this song was SO good live. I listened to A7X all the time while studying English and Zoology at csu, I even made an "Avenged Sevenfold saved my college career" posted that was unfortunately confiscated because Madison Square Garden doesn't allow large posters X( but still, it was such a glorious show and the piece of college student stuck in me after graduating in 2021 was finally at peace. Would love to meet these fellas one day and thank them personally.

This music video is such an accurate description of metal because you look at it on the surface and it just seems like chaos but you sit down and pay real attention and it IS chaos but with extreme purpose

[MohamadRaymie]

Never thought when i'm thinking of A7X, barbie would come to mind. Mind explosion. Greatly done sir.

[Shaggysleftbraincell]

I remember when I used to watch the barbie playing videos when I was way younger and I can only imagine a 5-9-year-old kid expecting to watch their usual barbie playing videos but then being absolutely fucking traumatized by this. I love it.

References to Truman's Show "in case i don't see you again good afternoon, good evening and good night", and philosophy in the line "smart enough to know nothing at all" (Socrates), made it my favorite song of A7x.

I consider it a master piece that had the braveness to do something different adding unpredictable things, and putting weird effects in certain moments, without sounding "hard to hear", the expressiveness of the vocals it's like a theatre performance, using reverb to sound So far away from us (in certain moments), lyrics are just perfect referring a daily metaphor, and finally singing nor playing this song isn't close to be Almost easy 😉.


A wonderful song that really describes the life in the eyes of monotony, and how people are just slaves of the desires that came out of nowhere, filling our internal abyss with "normality", and refusing to accept that we lost humanity trying to be humans, sometimes feeling like we're being Buried alive in this catastrophe that we call "Society".

[cycada]

There are no other bands doing this type of stuff anymore, that's why i love you

[blvckgold]

I love that we’re witnessing right in front of our eyes the part where avenged sevenfold is transcending from all the metal clichés that made them a household name, to this creative machine that might actually keep the name relevant for years to come and create a whole new legacy.

[austingearhart]

If someone asked me who a7x is or genre they are I’ll always say experimental metal. They’re always trying new things and I love it keep up the amazing work

Lyrics
My vinyl skin provides protection
It holds in place my plastic bones
Cast button eyes reflect an image
All seems as it should
But there's nobody home
Cue the breeze that sway the painted trees
Toy yellow birds upon the rooftops sing
In chorus with the buzzing bees
Melt in sun LED beams
From the sky being held on a string
While boredom tears me apart at the seams
Now I know this might sound crazy
But I've smelled the plastic daisies
And it seems we've found ourselves
In (hell)
Round head consumed with major nothings
Ears made of wax, unfit to hear
Day after day, it all plays over
Dedicated loop
Same year after year
Please attend
All model citizens
RSVP if we can count you in
Empty as we play pretend
Send our thoughts with you and to your kin
And in case I don't see you again
Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight
Now I know this might sound crazy
But I've smelled the plastic daisies
And it seems we've found ourselves
In (hell)
Living feign in porcelain
And just smart enough to know nothing at all
Pull my string and make me cry
Advertisement, moral scrawl
A semblance of choice when there's no choice at all
Out of stock, the end is nigh
Burn
Body burn
Burn
Now I know this might sound crazy
But I've smelled the plastic daisies
And it seems we've found ourselves
In hell
