Avenged Sevenfold are working on ideas for a “fucked up” video for new track God Damn.
Guitarist Zacky Vengeance says he and the band are throwing around ideas for a promo video to follow-up the one they released for The Stage in October. The Stage is the title track from the band’s new album.
And Vengeance says God Damn is the next track he hopes to create a video for – and he vows to stick to his tried and tested method of coming up with “fucked up scenarios” for the clip.
He tells TeamRock Radio: “We’ve been talking really seriously about doing something for God Damn. And I think we will take it in a completely different direction than The Stage. What direction I don’t quite know.
“But being the biggest cynic and critic of modern music videos, it’s going to have to be something really spectacular or else I don’t even file like there’s a point in doing the video.”

On how he develops video concepts, Vengeance adds: “I start in my own head with the most fucked up scenarios in videos that I can think of that will blow people’s minds. And then I start working backwards from there and think how we can turn it into a video that people can watch.
“I try to think so far out of the box. I throw away 99% of my ideas because they start so far into left field, but every now and again something will catch, like The Stage. I’m so truly proud of that video, but I look forward to trying to top it.
“We’ll do something and I promise it’ll be worth watching.”
