Avenged Sevenfold’s 8th studio album, Life Is But A Dream is best served as a whole and consumed en masse to truly appreciate its musical breadth and sonic depth. Written and recorded over the span of 4 years, it was produced by Joe Barresi and Avenged Sevenfold in Los Angeles and mixed by Andy Wallace in the Poconos, PA. The album is a journey through an existential crisis; a very personal exploration into the meaning, purpose and value of human existence with the anxiety of death always looming. Much of the writing was inspired by the philosophy of Albert Camus, a French-Algerian philosopher whose writings reflect themes of existentialism, rebellion, death and decay, and redemption.
