Avenged Sevenfold - Mattel (Official Video)

The creative minds of A7X strikes again

I do not know why they're hella stoned.. but I love it 😂

Has such 90s MTV vibes, best era for music videos imo, this was amazing!

I remember when I used to watch the barbie playing videos when I was way younger and I can only imagine a 5-9-year-old kid expecting to watch their usual barbie playing videos but then being absolutely fucking traumatized by this. I love it.

Avenged Sevenfold never fails to mess with your brain and make you look within.

Love how the guys drop the song and then the Barbie movie comes out and tackles very similar issues and philosophies just in a more lighthearted manner. Love to see both music and film outlets shedding light on things that get very glazed over in everyday media.

I commend A7X for trying different things. In no way is this a "normal" metal track, and that's what I like about it.

as a metal head who also collects dolls, I see this as an absolute win

this is crazy, weird, chaotic, dark, scary, depressing but hilarious in the same time, i love it so much

Never thought when i'm thinking of A7X, barbie would come to mind. Mind explosion. Greatly done sir.

Was anyone else shcoked by how heavy this song was when they first heard it on the album? I was genuinely suprised. Probably my favorite tho

A great critique on how life repeats and doesn't change.

There are no other bands doing this type of stuff anymore, that's why i love you

Avenged Sevenfold never stopped experimenting and trying new things. Love this new album so much!

We were also preoccupied with Barbenheimer, we didn't stop to think about Avenged Barbenfold!

Lyrics My vinyl skin provides protection It holds in place my plastic bones Cast button eyes reflect an image All seems as it should But there's nobody home Cue the breeze that sway the painted trees Toy yellow birds upon the rooftops sing In chorus with the buzzing bees Melt in sun LED beams From the sky being held on a string While boredom tears me apart at the seams Now I know this might sound crazy But I've smelled the plastic daisies And it seems we've found ourselves In (hell) Round head consumed with major nothings Ears made of wax, unfit to hear Day after day, it all plays over Dedicated loop Same year after year Please attend All model citizens RSVP if we can count you in Empty as we play pretend Send our thoughts with you and to your kin And in case I don't see you again Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight Now I know this might sound crazy But I've smelled the plastic daisies And it seems we've found ourselves In (hell) Living feign in porcelain And just smart enough to know nothing at all Pull my string and make me cry Advertisement, moral scrawl A semblance of choice when there's no choice at all Out of stock, the end is nigh Burn Body burn Burn Now I know this might sound crazy But I've smelled the plastic daisies And it seems we've found ourselves In hell

This music video is such an accurate description of metal because you look at it on the surface and it just seems like chaos but you sit down and pay real attention and it IS chaos but with extreme purpose

Finally, the official song for "The Truman Show"

If someone asked me who a7x is or genre they are I’ll always say experimental metal. They’re always trying new things and I love it keep up the amazing work

I saw Avenged Sevenfold play in NYC with Falling in Reverse back in June, this song was SO good live. I listened to A7X all the time while studying English and Zoology at csu, I even made an "Avenged Sevenfold saved my college career" posted that was unfortunately confiscated because Madison Square Garden doesn't allow large posters X( but still, it was such a glorious show and the piece of college student stuck in me after graduating in 2021 was finally at peace. Would love to meet these fellas one day and thank them personally.
