Album The Stage By A7X |
The Stage is the seventh studio album by heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold. Released on the 28th of October, 2016, The Stage is a concept album that deals with the concept of Artificial Intelligence. The final track of the album, Exist, is the band’s longest track ever written. It comes in at 15:41 and is a musical interpretation of the Big Bang with a monologue from Neil DeGrasse Tyson at the end. Coming in at a time of 73:40, it is the band’s longest album to date, beating City of Evil by by almost one minute.
The first half of the album dives into the concept of Artificial Intelligence in our human lives. Songs like “Paradigm” and “Creating God” talk about losing ourselves to the machines and feeling powerless to them. The second half of the album jumps out into space, dealing with space exploration and how we treat others as human beings. It makes the statement about how we don’t look through someone else’s perspective, because we are too blind to only see our own.
