Avenged Sevenfold drummer Brooks Wackerman updated fans on the band's next album via social media on Wednesday (February 9th). He shared a picture of an orchestra writing in part, “We, Avenged Sevenfold, started writing this record four years ago, and I can't believe we are 90% done.”
He contiuned, “One of the perks in the creative process is that we are able to track a 78-piece orchestra on our records. The fact that we are able to bring incredible musicians together to enhance our art still gives me chills. I can't wait for the world to hear this. All I can say is it's unlike anything we've ever released.”
This new project is the follow up to Avenged Sevenfold's 2016 album, The Stage.
Last year, singer M. Shadows estimated that the new album would be ready for release by summer 2022.
