AVENGED SEVENFOLD Release Cover Version of MR.BUNGLE’S “Retrovertigo”

As previously announced, multi-platinum-selling rock band Avenged Sevenfold are expanding their new album The Stage into an evolving body of work by adding a series of new tracks over the course of the coming months. The latest addition sees the band release their version of Mr.Bungle track “Retrovertigo”.

“Retrovertigo” follows the recent release of Avenged Sevenfold’s first-ever Spanish-language release, “Malagueña Salerosa,” a song whose companion video has already amassed over 2 million YouTube views. The band recorded both tracks with producer Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool).

“We’re massive fans of Mr. Bungle,” says vocalist M. Shadows. “”Retrovertigo” is one of their softer songs and a particular favorite of ours and we thought it’d be a fun twist to make a heavy version. We hope this song encourages the uninitiated to dig a little deeper into the brilliant world of Mr. Bungle. Mike Patton is one of the greatest vocalists of our generation and it was pretty daunting for me to sing one of his songs, but we had a great time recording this track. More coming.”
