Avenged Sevenfold has finally announced a new album.

The eighth studio effort from M. Shadows and company is titled Life Is But a Dream… and arrives June 2. You can listen to lead single “Nobody” now via digital outlets and watch its accompanying video streaming now on YouTube.

Life Is But a Dream… is the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s The Stage. Leading up the announcement, A7X claimed to be the victim of a deepfake hack, which a press release now confirms was part of the promotion for the record.
