Official press release:
Never ones to shy away from wearing emotions on their sleeves, prolific rockers Atreyu have unleashed a brand new single, "Drowning" today – stream now.
The track delivers massive breakdowns, catchy hooks, and soaring performances. The cathartic subject matter sees the group battling through individual struggles with depression and feeling overwhelmed by life itself, but ultimately finding healing from the honest expression of those feelings.
The band shared the following on the meaning of the song:
To the five of us, this song is audio anti-depressants. Much like everyone does, the five of us have experienced waves of depression, anxiety, and fear in vastly different ways. This song is about feeling buried. We have found comfort in simply communicating those feelings with each other, and hope you will arrive in a similar place when listening. This song is for all of us.
In contrast to its heavy message, Atreyu shares a perfectly jocular music video for "Drowning" that will have you running for the local pool to shake off those existential blues.
After touring heavily in North America for the last two years in support of their latest album Baptize, Atreyu will kick off their European and UK trek with Bullet For My Valentine and Jinjer on Sunday, January 29. For tickets visit www.atreyu.com.

Post CommentThere's not a f*cking chance of me clicking on that video.
Fun fact : Atreyu is still leagues better than Queensway.
But what they think about pronouns and genders?
Uncle fester core. I'm gonna click on this vid later tonight I need some comedy.
Curiosity killed the cat. Should not have clicked. RIP me.
Just a little less human and a lot more bitter and cold.
I give them props for finding success in transitioning into butt rock while 18 visions is playing to 35 people
Band hasn't been good since my band played with them at Hougies in like 2001
I mean, at least they don't take themselves too seriously
I give them props for finding success in transitioning into butt rock while 18 visions is playing to 35 people Yeah, they're real successful playing to 36 people.
People like to wax nostalgic about early 00s metalcore, when crap bands like this were constantly added to fests and tours and we all had to endure this nonsense. Their cheeseball guitarists rivaled Ken Susi and Adam D as the most try-hard dorks in the scene. Remember when Kerry King tried to get Killswitch kicked off a tour with them just because Adam D was such a dork? Wish he had succeeded.
"Yeah, I'm in a band? "Oh which one?" "Atreyu"
Can't be mad for these guys trying to get paid
LMAO they managed to finally make Blood On The Dance Floor sound tolerable
This song wouldn't have been half bad 15 years ago.
Just thinking of how many dudes bottomed to Atreyu over the years. Maybe thousands.
this just keeps getting more and more embarrassing
Singer always looks like he wants to eat me
