Atreyu
Alternative-Metal Black-Metal band formed in Orange County, California USA, in early 2000 from the ashes of a hardcore-Punk outfit which comprised the key members of Atreyu: vocalist Alex Varkatzas, guitarist Daniel Jacobs and drummer Brandon Saller; following several line-up changes, the new band was completed by the addition of second guitarist Travis Miguel and bassist Christopher Thomson
The quintet recorded a couple of demo-discs and during 2001 released an EP titled "Fractures In The Facade Of Your Porcelain Beauty" on Tribunal Records.
A year later the band signed a deal with Chicago's Victory Records label who released their debut full-length album, "Suicide Notes And Butterfly Kisses"; the crew hit the road to support it, playing clubs across North-America.
Atreyu headed home in late 2003 to write and record their second album, "The Curse", which was issued in mid-2004; in the meantime Thomson left the group to be replaced by bass player Mark McKnight; the support of Active Rock radio and the summer Ozzfest Tour propelled the album to #32 on The Billboard Top 200 and to #1 on the Top Independent Albums charts.
In 2005 the group contributed their rendition of Bon Jovi's "You Give Love A Bad Name" to the soundtrack of the hit movie "Mr. And Mrs. Smith".
The Californian metallers returned in March 2006 with their best-selling album to date, "A Deathgrip On Yesterday"; the 9-track set peaked at #9 on The Billboard 200 list while the main single, "Ex's And Oh's", reached the #24 position on The Hot Mainstream Rock chart.
In June 2007 Atreyu launched a game in which fans are able to hear and arrange snippets of hook-laden first single "Becoming The Bull"; the song is off their new album, "Lead Sails Paper Anchor", which hits stores on August 28...

If I gave you pretty enough words
Could you paint a picture of us that works
With emphasis on function rather than design
Aren't you tired?
cause i will carry you
On a broken back and blown out knees
I have been where you are for a while
Aren't you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream
All the stars right out of the sky
And destroy the prettiest starry night
Every evening that I die
I am exhumed just a little less human and lot more bitter and cold
I am exhumed just a little less human and lot more bitter and cold
I am exhumed just a little less human and lot more bitter and cold
I am exhumed just a little less human...
After all these images of pain
Have cut right through you
I will kiss every scar and weep
You are not alone
Then I'll show you that place,
in my chest where my heart,
still tries to beat;
It still tries to beat
Aren't you tired of being weak?
Such rage that you could scream
All the stars right out of the sky
And destroy the prettiest starry night
Every evening that I die
Live, Love, Burn, Die
Live, Love, Burn, Die
Live, Love, Burn, Die
Live, Love, Burn, Die
