Avenged Sevenfold‘s collective recordings for the zombies mode of the Treyarch developed entries in the ‘Call Of Duty: Black Ops‘ franchise of games will soon be available as an EP. Thus far the band have included their songs, “Not Ready To Die“, a shortened version of “Shepherd Of Fire“, “Jade Helm” and “Nightmare” in the game series over the years. The band also appeared as themselves in ‘Call Of Duty: Black Ops II‘.
In the latest issue of Kerrang! the group have since revealed that their contributions to the series will be compiled for a new EP, complete with a new track they have written for the next instalment in the franchise, ‘Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4‘, out October 12th.
The band’s frontman M. Shadows commented to Kerrang! of their plans:
“…We just felt these songs needed a place to live, instead of being scattered all over streaming services. We will also be releasing ‘Jade Helm‘, which is the multiplayer score we did for ‘Black Ops 3‘. Until now, that has only been available on YouTube and in the game.”
He also spoke of the forthcoming new song as well, commenting:
“The song is dark and brooding. We wanted to capture a difference feeling than a straight-ahead ‘zombie killer’ track. These songs are good places for us to experiment with our sound. I would put this in the category of ‘dark alternative.'”
