Atreyu premiere video, announce new 7"

Official press release: Atreyu, one of the most prominent bands of the '00s American metal scene, exited a period of self-imposed dormancy in 2014 to the delight of fans. They played several shows. They released a brand new song, "So Others May Live," which became an instant social media trending topic. The song touched on an important topical issue-what veterans who serve our country feel and experience upon returning home from duty. The song's heartfelt subject was matched by its musical heft. Now, the So Cal band has premiered the video for the song via Alternative Press. In addition to this adrenalized live video, which proves that Atreyu have not lost a step since returning to action and that they are as vital and vibrant as they ever were, the band will participate in Record Store Day, which is Saturday, April 18. They will release a 7" featuring both "So Others May Live" and the brand new track "When the Day Is Done." These are the first new Atreyu songs to surface in years. This live footage, which captures the band in its most natural state, was filmed at The Observatory in Atreyu's native California in December of 2014. As for the video? The clip truly captures the electrifying essence and vibe that is always present at an Atreyu concert, due to the exchange of energy between the band and its dedicated fans. It also puts the viewer front and center, as though you were pressed up against the barrier after taking a whirl in the pit.

2004 called and they want their shitty metalcore scream back.

had they previously been informed civilians, the song would be titled more like: "So Others May Generate Revenue At The Expense of Others Lives". The music would've still sucked, though.

I heard that if you suck a guys dck over the 7'' vinyl, it unlocks a couple of hidden tracks. Will be attempting vigorously until positive results are obtained

Reporter Asks, "Why'd you shave your head?" Drummer Brandon Saller responded, "We reunited and soon realized that Alex wasn't able to plow my poop shooter like before in large part because my hairline was receding. Fortunately, I had grown these B cups leading to a firmer grip for Alex during his scream time."

anonymous 3/23/2015 10:24:48 PM

Good Lord his scream is terrible. I wonder how much Monster paid them for this comeback. Do a song about how great the troops are. Never fails to scan a few thousand copies in the midwest. Ashamed I was ever a fan of this shit.

anonymous 3/24/2015 10:10:31 AM
