Limited Edition Single
Avenged Sevenfold will issue the single 'Dear God' with 'A
Little Piece of Heaven' as a limited edition single on July 7th to
coincide with this summer's festival dates and Twickenham Stadium
show as support to Iron Maiden.
Available as a limited edition CD single and on digital download
formats, 'Dear God' adds a dark country tinge to the band's
patented attack. The CD also features an alternate version of album
favourite 'Afterlife' that's also included on the iTunes DMD along
with 'Crossroads'. The 7 Digital DMD will feature 'Dear God'
supplemented by a live track (title TBC) and the single will also
be available as a one-track DMD.
Avenged Sevenfold are appearing as special guests of Iron Maiden at
many of their shows across mainland Europe and Scandinavia this
summer. The sole UK date is at Twickenham Stadium on July 5th. The
band will return to these shores to play on the main stage at the
Leeds
and Reading festivals on August 22nd and 24th respectively, where
Metallica headline a bill that also includes Slipknot and Tenacious
D.
Produced by the band with Andy Wallace (System of a Down, Linkin
Park) on mixing duties, Avenged Sevenfold's current self-titled
album continues their burgeoning reputation as one of the most
exciting bands on the contemporary metal scene. The result is an
uncompromising collection laden with heavy riffage, fluid leads,
battering rhythms and insistent hooks. Highlights of the set
include the first single 'Almost Easy' and the vehement opening
track 'Critical Acclaim' as well as 'Dear God'.
