Avenged Sevenfold in Concert at PPG Paints Arena (Mon., 3/25/24)

California-based Avenged Sevenfold (a.k.a. “A7X”) has skyrocketed to superstardom over the past two decades. The band members are known for their rapid, melodic shredding; their theatrical, ghoulish vocals; and their dark, imaginative imagery. “The Stage” the title track from their 2016 studio album was nominated for the Best Rock Song Grammy in 2018. The video for the song features puppets playing out a cruel world history in a spectacular and meaningful fashion. Life is But a Dream is the latest album since The Stage and dropped last year. Rolling Stone listed it at no. 7 of the 11 best metal albums of 2023. The A7X website is equally imaginative and the fan club is called Deathbats. There are different membership levels and very cool Deathbat icons available for purchase and resale that you can artistically personalize. Special guests are Poppy and Sulivan King. 6:30 p.m. PPG Paints Arena, 1001 Fifth Ave., Uptown. (R.H.)
