Atreyu Name New Album

2007-06-20 by Otisbum | 34 Comments
Now for something you've all been waiting for...

Atreyu have set "Lead Sails Paper Anchor" as the title of its new album, due on August 28 via Hollywood Records.

In a recent interview with Revolver magazine, Atreyu singer Alex Varkatzas stated about the upcoming CD, "I just want to use words like organic and mature, because that's what bands start to say after they've put out a couple of records. But I really do love records by Cradle Of Filth and Alkaline Trio, where there's all these layers in the music. We've tried to put more layers in our music in the past, but it's never really seemed to work out. With this record, we've finally had enough time to do it. Plus, we're more comfortable working with John [Feldmann, producer] than we've ever been with any producer. He gets a really good performance out of anyone."

Atreyu recently released the first song off its new album, but you are going to have to work to hear it. An online game was launched via the band's MySpace page which challenges fans to piece together the new song "Becoming the Bull". The idea of the game is to put 20 small clips of the song in the right order. Once completed, your time is entered in a competition to win a prize pack that includes an autographed guitar and a copy of the album before it hits stores.

Atreyu will hit the road on the Family Values Tour 2007. The band will be joined by Korn, Evanescence, Flyleaf, Hellyeah, Trivium and more.

Atreyu's "best of" collection, aptly titled "The Best Of...", was released on January 23 via Victory Records. The group recently parted ways with Victory and inked a new deal with the Hollywood label.

Atreyu's third album, "A Death-Grip On Yesterday", came out in March 2006. The CD follows up the group's 2002 release, "The Curse".

One can only hope they improve.

But I'm not spending half an hour putting together a likely crappy song.

Only band worth seeing would be Flyleaf, and they aren't even worth surviving through the rest.

That's a joke, right? Right?!
But I really do love records by Cradle Of Filth

Oh god... Too many bad vocalist jokes... Can't handle... strain!

What, was it rejected by NewGrounds?
The band will be joined by Korn, Evanescence, Flyleaf, Hellyeah, Trivium and more.

If I had money, it would NOT go there.

But what if Atreyu touch the guitar first? Won't it be cursed with horrible musicianship?

People are always either bashing this band or they are mega super fanboi's of this band. There is no middle ground when it comes to this band so I finally decide to look them up on youtube and the first song to come up is called Lipgloss and Black (oh very cool), and I have to admit... THEY SUCK!!! I was always just figuring that they were lame or maybe just uninspired, but lack of any talent whatsoever... jeez I never imagined.

There is nothing wrong with KoRn. They were the pioneers of nu-metal so you can't trash them for sticking to it.

Goddamn it.

How in the world did this band get popular with this kind of singing and their horrible screaming? :[

Apparently for the same reason people like Underoath then.

Except Underoath's Define The Great Line was easily a top 5 record from 06. I'm sure new Atreyu will destroy anything they put out on Victory...though that isn't saying much. If they could put together a complete record they would be in good shape. Sadly they couldn't even do that with ADGOY and that was only 33 minutes.

I wonder if they feel like committing suicide after they have made an album. Then again, I doubt they have the presence of main to realize that each song they make is an abhorrent monstrosity.

U know it's funny, i think despite the loss of old-atreyu, metalcore fans, they will eventually gain popularity from another circle of people. But yeah, that song does not appeal to me at ALL.
