I didn't hear about this band until today, and I must say I like them. "Ain't Love Grand" is the first song I've heard by them, and it's a pretty good song, and one I recommend downloading. If you like Avenged Sevenfold, you might like these guys as well. So, yeah, am I the only one that's heard of Atreyu?

i havent heard of em, ill look em up.

oh yeah and its ironic cos i SO just watched neverending story last night.....whoa. heh.

check out their song "Lip Gloss and Black" it's bas ass

i love their lyrics... but they scream to much for my liking. i like one of two of their songs... but thats about it for me.

They played here in Little Rock a while back. I'll agree with Aubstress -- the vocals are too [incongruously] hardcore for my taste, and I'm not much for any form of punk. Still, they do put on a great live performance.

I love atreyu, they're one of the best bands out there. First of all, Atreyu is not punk, they're metal, some of their earlier work does sound punkish but they've definently established their own unique sound now, and it's nothing like punk, second, alex (vocalist) doesn't scream, he growls......and then brandon (vocals/drummer) brings in the melody. They kick @ss. Another good song to look for is a vampires lament. You should seriously buy the cd, suicide notes and butterfly kisses, it f*cking rocks!

Meh, they are ok.. far from the best melodic metalcore band.. I've seen them a couple times as well and they put on good shows, very good presence... Lyrics are ok, but nothing to write home about... All in all they are a decent band...

I've been meaning to pick up their CD for quite a while now....I would say I'll pick it up soon, but that never happens....Still, I think I have a sampler disc with one or two of their songs, I'll give that a listen and see from there. :)

atreyu is quite the band. surprised not many people here have heard of em

Oh I love them. I like the cover they do of "You Give Love A Bad Name" and "Bleeding Mascara" and of course "Lip Gloss and Black"

They Rock...

I only know 3 or 4 songs of them, but they are great. wanna hear more :)

You should check your history. Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, and numerous other metalcore bands have their roots in the noisecore scene that ran from roughly the early releases of Coalesce in the mid-90s through to Converge's Jane Doe -- a record released in September of 2001. Bands like the afoementioned (but also Botch, early Cave In, Isis, National Acrobat, Dillinger Escape Plan, and a host of others) combined metal (particularly thrash and grind) with chaotic hardcore-emo (ala Angel Hair, Heroin, and other Gravity bands), added a heavily technical math rock edge, and ended up crafting a sound that damn near turned into a revolution. It might have succeeded had two of the big four (Botch and Coalesce) not broken up just after their defining releases. Neither Converge nor DEP have been prolific enough to keep things going. Point in fact, Converge just today (September 21st) released their followup to Doe. It's been three goddamned years.

Modern metalcore took what these bands did, dropped a lot of the technicality (which I suppose made the musc more accessible), but they probably won't even begin to approach the status of their noise-core predecessors. Converge, Coalesce, Botch, DEP... These bands are legends in the indie scene, and given A7X's feud with Converge, and their recent signing to Warner Bros, it's pretty unlikely that the new wave of metalcore is going to last very long or have much of an impact in either the metal or hardcore scences. The exception may be Darkest Hour, who have resolved themselves to remaining within the hardcore scene.

That all being said, Atreyu has roots in hardcore. They have roots in noisecore, a genre that was firmly rooted in the hardcore scene. Futhermore, much of the chaotic elements popular i metal (and with metalcore bands) are the result of hardcore's influence on metal in the 1980s. Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica... all of these guys were listening to Black Flag, Discharge, and the Misfits as much as they were listening to Sabbath.

It's good to see someone around here that knows what they are talking about.. mentioning bands like Coalesce puts a smile on my face

*points to avatar, user title, and sig*

I bought both of their albums. They are a great band.

I love Atreyu. I randomly picked up "The Curse" one day and I must say, I don't regret it one bit.

Hell. My dad even likes them. XD

I love the integration of Alex and Brandon's vocals. While I would still love Atreyu even if it was just Alex's vocals, the addition of Brandon's melodic voice makes the songs simply perfect. Ahh. <3

how that bonus track on the limited edition cd of the curse, amazing isnt it, its an 80ish cover..but its just awesome.

OMG ATREYU! I love them beyond beleif. I've known about them for about 3 months and they are one of my fave bands of all time. I listened to their album THe Curse on headphones at Borders and it was love at first riff. Personally, I love screaming metal as long as there is at least a little singing. i am in love with their lyrics and those guitar solos...don't get me started. Oh geez those pounding drums...*has a spaz attack*! I like them just as much as Linkin Park, HIM, Killswitch Engage and all those other good ones.

i love atreyu! but i didn't know everything that jacob's ladder explained. thank you! i learned something today!

I am an Atreyu fan!!!! I met them at ozzfest, Been Happy with their tunes ever since...

i love their lyrics... but they scream to much for my liking. i like one of two of their songs... but thats about it for me.


Me too.
I would really like their songs but the screaming ruins it for me.

I'm not so much for the screaming but I have got some of my friends liking the song "Lip Gloss and Black" along with "Tulips Are Better"; those are the best <3

What? May I ask why the screaming ruins it for you???? It's called depth, brandons singing combined with alex's screaming/growling/just plain amzing vocal style makes atreyu one of the greatest metal bands to come out in a while. They in my opinion are freash breath of air into the collapsed lung of the horrible music scene of today.

Please try and look past the screaming if you dont like it, just listen to what they have to say and how they say it. I think a lot of bands lack lyrical ability, and thats why the scene sucks, so when bands like atreyu for example come out of hiding and release this vast vocabulary and knowledge, it gets lost on most popular music fans(not saying your one of them) thats the reasons bands like nickleback are so popular. Corprate america is cramming these un-intellegent bands down our throat and telling us its ok to be stupid. Well guess what it's not. "It will be the mass of un intellegent youth that brings down wrath from the heavens" -gallileo- I am not trying to come off all high and mighty or anything, but I pride myself on being somewhat smart when it comes to music. Now that doesn't meen that what bands I like should be forced upon others, it just meens that I have a little wiggle room to use here. I'm not going to list all of my "qualifications" when it comes to music because that would be arrogant and quite rude. If you must know why I consider myself "smart" when it comes to the music world, please pm me and I'll list them for you.

Atreyu or not, you have to admit the music scene needs a extreme change. No matter what type of music you like, almost all of the mainstream atrists in the (insert genre here) world suck. We as consumers shouldn't have to go look for obscure underground artists, the record lables should be able to have both sides of the spectrum signed. They could have thier nicklebacks and thier 50cents but then give us more artists like atreyu or atmosphere or gavin degraw. I urge all of you who agree with what I am saying to write to labels and tell them they are doing a shitty job, stop buying thier music, and stop going to thier shows. Thats why file sharing is so beautiful, because it takes away money from artists who cant even sing(i.e. ashley simpson) and it gives exposure to more deserving people. Take evanescence for example, they are one of the few mainstream bands that have depth to thier music and lyrics. (w00t go amy) Yet, fallen was one of the top downloads on kazaa, yet it sold a crap load full of albums. And look at how well fallen is doing, that proves to me that there are some people out there that actually give a damn about what thier music is saying to and about them and they care if they have an actuall cd in thier hands instead of some shitty burned copy with no art work.

Well.....my rant has made me VERY sleepy so, I am gonna go take a nap before we go onstage.

Thank-you very much for listening to my rant.
ATREYU ROCKS!

peace,
Kyle a.k.a Center706

I like Lip Gloss and Black.

I say yay!!!!!!!!!! I <3 Atreyu!!!!!!!!! I esp love Bleeding Mascara and Lip Gloss and Black. Some ppl don't like the screaming, but I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! It rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!! I plan to buy their cds when I have money.........after I buy my new amp.........after I buy my Harley boots............ :o :eek:

What? May I ask why the screaming ruins it for you????

It may not "ruin" it for people, not all anyway, it's just personal preference. I prefer to not hear screaming, but still I like voices that soar.

Ain't love grand and lip gloss and black are good songs.. I like screaming but I don't really like the way this band does it, personally. other then that, theyre ok.

meh to each thier own.......

I *heart* Atreyu ... can't wait to see them on their UK tour in December ... it's gonna be insane. Plus they have the awesome new band from Wales, Bullet For My Valentine, in support. Promises to be a great night.

I gotta say The Remembrance Ballad or Side of the Bed is my favorite Atreyu song. They're a very good band. I don't mind the screaming too much.. because I can get past it... the guitarists play really hard stuff especially in the beginning of Lip Gloss and Black, they're talented.

Bleeding Mascara is excellent i love it. My friend played me a few other songs as well that i don't now the name of but i liked them as well. The Curse album is definately on my cds to get list

On the day their UK tour kicks off (EEEeeee I see them in Manchester tonight) Atrey u have announced another 4 shows for next year:

WED 13/04/2005 - Rock City Nottingham
FRI 15/04/2005 - Manchester University
SAT 16/04/2005 - Astoria London
SUN 17/04/2005 - Wulfrun Hall Wolverhampton

:D

*Edit* WOW! How good a live band are they!. The show was amazing despite Alix suffering with flu. One of the highlights was a great heavy cover of Bon Jovi's 'You Give Love A Bad Name'. Can't wait to see them again next april!

i say yay on atreyu. i just loaded them into my new ipod today. the curse album.
ill check ulater

thanks for that!! I was planning on commenting in a similar fashion.
I'm a pretty big Atreyu fan - Right side of the bed has to be one of my favourites!!! =D
Going to see them in April *hopefully*

I love Atreyu to death. They are my 2nd fave band. I just totally love them. I might be able to go see them on March 1st.

Definetly Nay. Pisses me off with the guitarest trying to be all retro. Not really a Hardcore fan.

I saw Atreyu yesterday on Warped Tour.
Fucking amazing.
They were the loudest band. And they were just great. I definately want to see them again.

Seeing as how I saw Atreyu at the Warped Tour back on July 14th, I'm surprised that I'm just now posting a review:

Anyways, they definately rocked, and they were probably my favorite band of the day. They performed at I think 1:10, so early in the afternoon. It was awesome rocking out to some Atreyu in the afternoon. At any rate, here's the setlist:

Bleeding Masscara
The Crimson
You Eclipsed By Me
Right Side Of The Bed
Lip Gloss & Black

I'm sure I'm missing a song, but that's all I remember. They were definately well received by the crowd and like I said, they were easily the best band I saw all day. If they come back to Calgary, I'm definately going to see them again.

When I saw them they played:
Bleeding Mascara
You Eclipsed By Me
Right Side of The Bed
Ain't Love Grand
The Crimson
You Give Love A Bad Name [Bon Jovi cover]
Lip Gloss and Black

Good band, but I'd almost sa they're bordering on screamo...

Absolutely incredible lyrics though. Definately one of my favorite in that aspect.

When I saw them they played:
Bleeding Mascara
You Eclipsed By Me
Right Side of The Bed
Ain't Love Grand
The Crimson
You Give Love A Bad Name [Bon Jovi cover]
Lip Gloss and Black

Oh yeah, they also played "You Give Love A Bad Name" at the Calgary show, I forgot that song. I absolutely love that cover.

As do I.
I've always been a fan of Bon Jovi, and when Alex announced they were playing it, I was very excited. And their cover of it is amazing.

HEY!!!!! have you liscening to the new album?!....

Its not that bad ahaha
I prefer this one to everything they did on the curse....lol

Their new cd came out today, and I got it.
I haven't listened to much of it yet, but what I've heard, I like.

Sweet. I love Atreyu. Im trying to get enough money to buy the new album. Alex is the prettiest man on earth.

I'm not a fan of hardcore, but I've always really liked Atreyu. I'm going to see them on Wednesday. Should be alright.

Enjoy it! :)

umm..I like Atreyu.. They have some awesome songs.

I was surprised to find I actually like this band. As a rule, I don't like hardcore, or over-screaming as I used to call it, but there's something very different about Atreyu. I especially like The Crimson, and their cover of You Give Love a Bad Name, which just rocks. :p

I'm not really into all the emo-screamo stuff but, I'm actually starting to get into these guys. I'm not too fond of the screaming, but I really like the drummer's vocals. But I think this is the farthest I'm going to get into the screamo genre :p I think I'm gonna download "Ex's and Oh's" now, there's a free download of it on AOL if anyone's interested.

Have fun.
Let us know how it goes.

Atreyu is the latest group to leave Victory Records. They join Hawthorne Heights and Taking Back Sunday as of the last couple of years to leave the label.

Atreyu signed with Hollywood Records.

Aww. When did that happen? And why?

Aww. When did that happen? And why?

Very recently and likely the same reason that Hawthorne Heights left...unlike HH, they didn't make it so public.

Why did HH leave?
I'm not a fan of them, so I didn't know they left and why.

DAMN!!!

you should listen SUICDES NOTES AND BUTERFLIES KISSES

now


its amazing to listen it again... wow.. simply.. IMMORTAL

I think Atreyu is an awesome band. While they're definitely out there for their screaming, I think "The Interlude" might actually be one of my favorite songs. They're just as good making instrumental songs, I think. But as for their typical stuff, "Bleeding Mascara" is probably my favorite.

I hope their new album is good, I didn't like A Deathgrip too much.
