Avenged Sevenfold have just released their incredibly impressive-looking immersive virtual reality concert, Looking Inside.
The show is out now via Apple Vision Pro and MetaQuest VR through AmazeVR Concerts, and according to Reddit it comprises of performances of Mattel, Hail To The King, (D)eath, Nightmare and Nobody.
“The concert is a one-time purchase and you keep it forever,” announce the band. “Not unlike live shows, [Blu-rays], or music videos, this is its own experience. We are extremely proud of how it came out. For those who own a headset, hope you enjoy.” Previously, they also shared that they were, “Honoured to be one of the first rock artists to participate in this innovative technology.”
“We’re giving Avenged Sevenfold fans a perfect moment frozen in time,” says Steve Lee, AmazeVR CEO and Co-Founder. “Our technology allows app goers to preserve and experience the highest quality and detailed performance over and over again. We knew that Avenged Sevenfold was the perfect choice to debut our rock genre, they are constantly challenging the norm, experimenting with new technology, all to prioritise connecting with their fans.”
“Being able to combine the best aspects of what a live show and technology offers is what excites us the most about our VR concert, and what we’ve created with the two is pretty compelling,” continues M. Shadows. “Lots of our fans already know the intricacies of our performances, but I think they’re going to be blown away when they can get closer than ever before.”
