Avenged Sevenfold vocalist M. Shadows took the time to provide the below update on the bands current plans. Along with their touring commitments and such behind their upcoming album “Hail To The King” (out August 27th) they also have a new iOS/Android-based game in the works.
“Dear Friends,
I wanted to start off by thanking those of you who came out to the 3 shows we did this weekend. We had a great time getting out of the studio and preparing for our “Hail to the King” album release. We are excited about the 27th and we hope you all are as well.
The reason I’m writing this is to shed some light on a few things we will be doing this fall besides touring and promoting “Hail to the King“. First I would like to let you all know that for the past 18 months we have been writing and developing an IOS / Android based mobile Avenged Sevenfold game.
Without revealing too much I will just say that it is an action adventure game. It has been written and developed by the band and with our friends in Subscience Studios. It’s turning out awesome. We can’t wait to show you more when it’s ready.
What we can show you though is a trailer for the new “Hail to the King” animated series that we and our friends at Machinima have been working on. The game and the series will go hand in hand with each other. We hope you enjoy them both because I know we have had a great time developing them.
– M. Shadows“
Available below is the aforementioned new animated trailer for “Hail To The King” which previews a forthcoming six-part animated series directed by Metalocalype‘s Jon Schepp. It will flesh out material from “Hail To The King” and is due to kick off this fall:
