Avenged Sevenfold have released a cover of Mr Bungle’s 1999 track Retrovertigo.

It comes after the band launched their take on Mexican folk song Malagueńa Salerosa earlier this month, saying they would keep adding songs to their latest album The Stage which was sneak released in 2016 via Capitol Records.

Vocalist M. Shadows previously revealed why they wanted to keep releasing new material for the album, saying: “We’ve said all along that we want The Stage to be a different and exciting listening experience.

“For us, the idea of turning an album into a living piece of art and adding new installations is really intriguing. It expands the journey.”

Avenged Sevenfold are currently on the road across North America with Metallica and Volbeat. Find their remaining 2017 tour dates below.
