Atreyu Album Title, Deets, Tour

2009-08-03 by oh trudy, youre with the meanest boy in the hills STAFF | 55 Comments
AP reports that the title for the upcoming Atreyu album will be Congregation of the Damned. The album is set for an October 27th release.

Vocalist Alex Varkatzas stated: "I wrote the line 'Congregation of the Damned' for one of the songs on the album and it got me thinking, It kind of feels like in a lot of ways that we, as members of a society, are just gathering around and collectively getting fucked over.

"When you look at what's going on in our economy and how other people treat each other, it's kind of like we're all just lemmings. We're lined up blankly staring blindly at nothing and just going along with the flow like a congregation of the damned. So this record really reflects my thoughts and feelings about that in every possible way."

Whatever he had to say about that album title was so vague and messy I would bet it was written by Miss Teen USA South Carolina.

Bad mainstream music is like... the REALLY fat guy sitting in front of you at the movie theatre.
You really want to see what's going on behind him, but he's so damn fat that he's all you can see.

Anyway, this album (and especially that tour) will suck enough to possibly create the apocalypse and kill us all.

Given that the band openly acknowledges that Lead Sails was weak, this has to at least be a step up for them.

I guess they're not hugely 'mainstream', but I think we can agree they do get attention they don't deserve.
