Avenged Sevenfold Release “We Love You” Single With Ambitious 360 VR Music Video

Avenged Sevenfold continue their return with their new single “We Love You”.

The single, taken from their highly-anticipated eighth album, Life Is But a Dream…, comes with an innovative 360 VR music video. Watch it here.

“We Love You” follows Avenged Sevenfold’s previous single and return to the spotlight with “Nobody,” which arrived with a stunning stop-motion video directed by Chris Hopewell that peaked at #1 Trending YouTube and has over 4 million views to date. The track itself has nabbed nearly 12 million cumulative streams since its release in mid-March.

The music video for “We Love You” is no less ambitious. Artist Ryan McKinnon, using Unreal Engine, has crafted an enveloping, innovative visual experience which has been optimized for Oculus in VR and 360 on YouTube. The visualizer begins in the peaceful natural world, before the pressure of society takes over and the world starts building at a crazy pace.
