EP
Black Reign
Black Reign is a compact EP from Avenged Sevenfold, released on 21 September 2018 through Warner Bros. Records. It is the band's second EP, and it gathers in one place the original songs they wrote for the Call of Duty: Black Ops series between 2011 and 2018.
It arrived after The Stage in 2016 and sits between that record and Life Is But a Dream… in 2023. For anyone who first heard the band through a games console rather than a record shop, it offers a handy collection of those tie-in tracks. For long-time fans, it pulls together material that would otherwise be scattered across several game releases.
