Infiltrating radio now, “Mattel” adorns the group’s unanimously lauded eighth full-length LP, Life Is But a Dream..., and follows "Nobody," which hit #1 on the Rock radio charts.

Avenged Sevenfold just kicked off the second leg of the Life Is But a Dream… North American Tour. Joined by the likes of Falling In Reverse and Kim Dracula, they continue to roll through arenas and amphitheaters coast-to-coast through October.
