Atreyu is an American metalcore band from Orange County, California, formed in 1998. The band consists of vocalist/lyricist Alex Varkatzas, guitarists Dan Jacobs and Travis Miguel, bassist Marc McKnight and drummer/vocalist Brandon Saller. The band was originally named “Retribution” but later changed their name to “Atreyu” after the character of the same name from the fantasy book (movie) The Neverending Story when they found out that another band from Hemet, California had been using their original name. Formed in 1998, the band have since released four studio albums, Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses, The Curse, A Death-Grip on Yesterday and Lead Sails Paper Anchor, each of which has sold more than 200,000 copies. In 2008, they were on the Projekt Revolution tour with Linkin Park and headlined the smaller revolution stage along with 10 Years, Hawthorne Heights, and Armor for Sleep.
“Storm to Pass”, the new video from Orange County, California’s ATREYU. The clip was shot September 22-23 in the desert near Palm Springs, California and was directed by Sean Stiegemeier, who has worked with the band on clips for “Falling Down”, “Doomsday”, “The Crimson” and “Lip Gloss and Black”.
“Storm to Pass” comes off the band’s new album, “Congregation of the Damned”, which is scheduled for release on October 27. The CD follows up the Southern California act’s 2007 major label debut, “Lead Sails Paper Anchor”, and contains songs such as “Bleeding Is A Luxury”, “Black Days Begin”, “You Were King Now You’re Unconscious”, and “Insatiable”. Frontman Alex Varkatzas told The Pulse of Radio what fans can expect from the album. “It’s gonna be awesome,” he said. “It’s gonna be a little more eclectic, I think a lot heavier, and my vocals especially are gonna be a lot more aggressive on this record. I think we’ve learned a lesson over the course of our four full-lengths, and I think this is gonna be the perfect blend of all of them.”
