Acclaimed frontman M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold joins Joel Madden for an in-depth conversation -- an exclusive Artist Friendly and Alternative Press collaboration featured on the cover of AP's 2023 summer issue.

Avenged Sevenfold have been busy gearing up for the release of their long-awaited eighth studio album, Life Is But A Dream…, as well as a massive summer tour across North America.

Listen as the duo discuss the creation of the band’s latest release, leading to a deep-dive into their own spiritual philosophies and the freedom of expression. Shadows also explores into the wider meaning behind the single "Nobody" and how it was born from experimenting with DMT.
