Getting simpler, feeling lighter, going back to being a group of buddies as much as (or maybe even more than) a band – that’s what Avenged Sevenfold have been doing, aside from touring, between the mourning album that was Nightmare and Hail To The King, their new record. A record whose aim, despite (or thanks to) this desire to make things simpler, is also to become a classic in the band’s discography, and even in metal; to be the cornerstone that will have to support the new era the band entered despite themselves with the death of The Rev, and to show that the kingdom is solid and united once more.
The start of this new chapter is also an opportunity for the band to define themselves, after being classified for so long as metalcore (a label that no longer applies) and before other people try to define them erroneously. During this interview, M Shadows, the band’s singer, helped us understand how Hail To The King will draw new boundaries to their domain, and explained what happened to the much decried first artwork for the album.
