Avenged Sevenfold surprise dropped a new EP last night (July 23) called STATICA with four brand new songs. The new collection of songs does not include the band’s 2025 standalone single “Magic,” which served as a musical Easter egg in Call of Duty’s Black Ops 7 Season 1. Thus, STATICA is technically the band’s first set of new songs since Life Is But a Dream… came out in 2023.
The band did not tease the EP online at all, nor have they posted anything about it since its release. While Life Is But a Dream… was noted for its complex sound, STATICA pushes further into experimental territory. The opener, “LIGHTS,” evokes a journey through a futuristic haunted mansion, while the remaining tracks incorporate rhythmic elements reminiscent of early 2000s hip-hop, resulting in a frenetic and unique sonic experience.
Avenged Sevenfold’s co-headlining tour with Good Charlotte kicks off tomorrow night (July 25) in Ridgedale, Missouri, and continues through late August. Following the North American run, the band is scheduled to perform at Rock in Rio in Brazil before heading to Asia and Australia in the fall.
