Atreyu have released a video for new song “Long Live.”

The cut is the title track from the band’s forthcoming LP of the same name, scheduled for release on the 18th of September via Spinefarm Records.

Says Atreyu frontman Alex Varkatzas of the clip: “Long Live is by far my favorite Atreyu video – which is fitting because our new record is the strongest Atreyu record to date.”

Long Live will be Atreyu’s sixth studio LP and their first since 2009’s Congregation Of The Damned. After a long hiatus, the band announced last year that they were reforming and set to release new material.

The full track list for Long Live is:

Atreyu announce first UK show for 3 years

01/12/2014 by skinbackalley, posted in News

Atreyu have announced details of their first UK show since ending their self-imposed three year break.

Mainman Brandon Saller and bandmates will play at The Underworld in Camden on the 29th of April next year. It is thought that their comeback album will be released around the same time.

The band released their first new material in September in song “So Others May Live”, and announced that they had signed a new album deal last month.

Says Saller of Atreyu’s new material: “It’s blistering. It’s a total reincarnation of my band. It’s as heavy as can be and aggressive as can be – definitely a punch in the face for heavy music in general.”

Tickets for the Underworld gig go on sale this Friday 5th December at 10am and are available via Live Nation.

Atreyu announce their return to music!

Californian metalcore band Atreyu have announced their return!

The band will play their first set since the start of a three year hiatus at this year’s Aftershock Festival in September.

“We have been spending the last few months planning this moment. Writing new music and thinking about the future while also reflecting on the past. We all came to the conclusion that it was the right time. Our history is too powerful to ignore forever. Our fans have given us too much. The void of Atreyu, in the world and within ourselves, had existed for long enough. We are happy to announce that after almost 4 years, the beast has risen!” says drummer Brandon Saller.

“To say we are looking forward to playing this year’s Aftershock Festival is an understatement. It’s been three-plus years since we have rocked the stage as brothers, and to be playing with all these high caliber bands, in the state that we call home, is truly awesome.” frontman Alex Varkatzas adds.

No details of further performances or studio recordings have yet been confirmed, but rest assured Skin Back Alley will bring you the news as soon as we have it!
