ATREYU – The End Is Not The End – LP – Orange Vinyl [APR 24]

LP – Standard Limited Edition Orange Vinyl.

The End is Not the End is undeniably Atreyus heaviest album ever and their most adventurous. We realised what made Atreyu great in the beginning was that we didnt sound like anyone else, frontman Brandon Saller explains. We didnt really make sense anywhere. We werent an emo band, a metal band, a punk band but somehow it all worked. We kind of just carved our own path.

Unburdened by false restrictions about anything sounding “too heavy” or “too pop,” Atreyu remains a creative beacon of hope for those shaken by the suggestion that “rock is dead.” They’ve entered the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 more than once, and two of their albums are certified gold.

Produced by Matt Pauling, Atreyus tenth album is vibrant, inventive, and beautifully aggressive. Its our heaviest, most metal record weve made, Saller points out. But its also the biggest musical journey weve taken in years.

Atreyus unquenchable appetite for creative achievement and pursuit of shared catharsis on stage drove them to form the band as teenagers around the turn of the millennium. That drive pushed them beyond their do-it-yourself beginnings to massive festival stages (including two runs on Ozzfest), sold-out headlining tours, movie and game soundtracks, and appearances alongside fellow genre standard-bearers such as Linkin Park, Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones, Slipknot, and Bring Me The Horizon.

We just refuse to become boring, Saller declares. Were not chasing whats cool. Were not chasing anything. Were trying to do what isnt being done and to play exactly what we want to hear. And somehow, 25-some-odd years later, its still growing. We still have much more to accomplish.
