In June this year the band released their 8th studio album ‘Life Is But A Dream…”. Written and recorded over the span of four years, it was produced by Joe Barresi and AVENGED SEVENFOLD in Los Angeles and mixed by Andy Wallace in the Poconos, Pennsylvania. 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.
Recently the band released a twisted music video for their single “Mattel”. Directed by Zoe Katz [Robot Chicken, Brad Pitt’s Magical Adventure], the live-action visual plunges into a plastic world starring various dolls. The band not only continues a career tradition of arresting and provocative visuals, but they also raise the bar once again. Watch HERE.
The band has also just partnered with SCUF Gaming to drop a pair of exclusive controller bundles. Together, they created new limited-edition SCUF Instinct Pro and SCUF Reflex FPS controller bundles decked out with the album’s instantly recognizable imagery and artwork from renowned artist Wes Lang.
