Avenged Sevenfold have surprise released a new four-track EP, Statica. And in keeping with the increasingly adventurous and progressive creative streak that the Orange County quintet displayed on 2016's The Stage and 2023's out-there Life Is But A Dream..., it's a wild ride.
Featuring the songs Lights, Statica, Rejoice and Ashes, the EP has a running time of 18 minutes and 7 seconds, and sees the band pushing sonic boundaries once again on a futuristic space odyssey, utilising robotic vocals, sci-fi synths, electronic dance beats, and precisely zero traces of the classic rock and '80s metal homages that peppered fan favourite albums City of Evil (2005) and Hail To The King (2013), having more in common with Daft Punk, Slift or Muse at their trippiest.
