Atreyu goes on hiatus

Southern California rock/metal outfit Atreyu has revealed that the group will be put on ice for an indefinite amount of time, though not breaking up. Here's the official word from singer Alex Varkatzas: "Atreyu is taking a long long break after 11 yrs of rocking. We aren't breaking up but... We aren't writing recording or touring for a while. Simply taking a break to recharge and focus on different parts of our lives. Thanks to everyone who has supported us and given us a reason to exist over the past 11yrs. We hope to see you again one day. All of us have other projects we are excited about and urge you to check them out if you miss us too much."

I am deeply saddened, how will I carry on knowing that Atreyu my favourite musical group in the whole wide world are no longer making music?

metal_bob 1/14/2011 10:09:24 AM

Because it takes so much more effort to put an 'e' and an 'a' in 'years'...

Translation: Our market of 13 year old girls has sailed ship, therefore we'll wait until being a complete fcking moron is popular again, then come back.

Stop it everyone with your jealousy. Your envy is showing. Stop trying to bring Atreyu down. This band has lived the life most people would only dream of.
