Life Is But A Dream [Cobalt Blue Vinyl Indie] vinylsbase

Life Is but a Dream... is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold, released on June 2, 2023, through Warner Records. Its release follows nearly seven years after its predecessor, The Stage (2016), marking the band's longest gap between studio albums to date. It is also the first album to feature contributions from their late drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan since Nightmare (2010). Similar to The Stage, Life Is but a Dream... was produced by the band with Joe Barresi. It marks the band's return to Warner following a legal dispute between the band and Warner Music in the mid-2010s. The band's stylistic shift to avant-garde metal was received well by music critics, though Life Is but a Dream... was less commercially successful than the band's previous albums.
