Avenged Sevenfold have released their cover of Pink Floyd’s classic 1975 track Wish You Were Here.
It’s the latest cover version to come from the band this year, following on from their reworkings of Mr Bungle’s Retrovertigo, Del Shannon’s Runaway, Mexican folk song Malagueña Salerosa, Beach Boys’ 1966 hit God Only Knows and Rolling Stones song As Tears Go By.
Earlier this year, the band’s M Shadows explained why they had decided to record new material and add those tracks to their latest album The Stage.
He said: “We’ve said all along that we want The Stage to be a different and exciting listening experience. For us, the idea of turning an album into a living piece of art and adding new installations is really intriguing. It expands the journey.”
Earlier this week, A7X announced the first leg of The Stage World Tour, which will get under way across the US in January 2018. They’ll be joined by special guests Breaking Benjamin and Bullet For My Valentine.
