It is worth noting that the announcement of Life Is But A Dream arrives in a period of expectations for the fans of the Avenged Sevenfold. This is because, in recent years, M. Shadows has indicated that the release may be the most experimental and challenging in the band’s history — and, according to the vocalist, it may have the unexpected influence of Kanye West.
Interestingly, this is also a very anxious period for the band’s Brazilian fans, since, on their social networks, M. Shadows indicated that there are plans for concerts in the country. “See you soon Brazil. Give us a little time,” he wrote.
I see you 🇧🇷. Just give us a little ⏳
