Avenged Sevenfold always have something pretty exciting in the works and they have just released a new video for “This Means War” which features live footage from several shows across Latin America!
A7X guitarist Synyster Gates recently spoke to Music Radar about the track:
“We wanted a really impactful, riff-based intro but one that would also feature our dual-lead-harmony approach. It’s pretty cool how it fits into the slow groove of the track and just hammers through.
"This song is becoming one of my favorites. I’ve been really enjoying watching people listen to it because it so fits the vibe of the album. When they hear it, they start moving, and they don’t stop. Sometimes, with more progressive songs, you lose that fee somewhere along the line, but‘This Means War’never quits the energy is always there.
"All of my solos were improvised initially I would go in and get my bearings and see what I came up with. I was hearing something chaotic in the intro, a machine-gun spray that would build into something more melodic.”
