THE ANNOUNCEMENT
Avenged Sevenfold are still playing dress-up as STATICA, and now the alter ego has a face: the official video for the title track "Statica" is out *§. It's the first visual from the four-song EP the band surprise-dropped a week earlier — the same EP that split their fanbase down the middle before most people had finished a first listen *†.
THE DETAILS
- Official music video for "Statica," the title track from the STATICA EP *§
- Directed by Lance Drake, shot on location in Northridge, California *
- Taken from a four-song EP that arrived with no warning a week before the video *
- STATICA is Avenged Sevenfold operating under an alter ego, not a side band of outside players *
- Described in coverage as a "divisive" offshoot project — reaction has not been unanimous †
- "Come and sit beside the glow" ‡
WHY IT MATTERS
SKIP IT — if the surprise EP already lost you, a Northridge shoot and a moody title track are not going to win the argument back. The surprising part is that a band this big built an entire alias, dropped it unannounced, and then rolled out a proper directed video for it anyway.
