Atreyu tocó nueva rola "Bleeding Is A Luxury"

Atreyu tocó nueva rola "Bleeding Is A Luxury"

Fan-filmed video footage of ATREYU performing a brand new song, "Bleeding Is A Luxury", at the Epicenter festival on Saturday, August 22 at the Fairplex in Pomona, California can be viewed below. The track comes off the Orange County rock act's follow-up to 2007's acclaimed "Lead Sails Paper Anchor", which is scheduled for release on October 27.

Entitled "Congregation of the Damned", ATREYU's new album was produced by Bob Marlette (AIRBOURNE, OZZY OSBOURNE) and was mixed by Rich Costey (THE MARS VOLTA, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE). A fall co-headlining tour with HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD is set to kick off on October 16 at The Pavilion in Lubbock, Texas.

While "Congregation of the Damned" addresses some dark, troubling subject matter, creating the album was far from a struggle. The band starting writing new material in January 2009 and by the time they entered Henson Studios in Los Angeles with producer Bob Marlette, they had 25 new songs.

ATREYU will remain on the road throughout most of 2010.

ATREYU’S NEW ALBUM!

ATREYU’S NEW ALBUM, CONGREGATION OF THE DAMNED, TO BE RELEASED OCTOBER 27

Band Prepares for Fall Co-Headlining Tour With Hollywood Undead


Los Angeles, CA (August 3, 2009) – The long wait for Atreyu fans is over. The Orange County rock pioneers have completed the follow-up to 2007’s highly acclaimed Lead Sails Paper Anchor. The album, titled Congregation of the Damned, produced by Bob Marlette (Airborne, Ozzy Osbourne) and mixed by Rich Costey (Mars Volta, System of A Down, Rage Against the Machine), will be released October 27. A fall co-headlining tour with Hollywood Undead is set to kick off on October 16th at The Pavilion in Lubbock, TX.

“I wrote the line ‘congregation of the damned’ for one of the songs on the album and it got me thinking,” says vocalist Alex Varkatzas. “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.”

While Congregation of the Damned addresses some dark, troubling subject matter, creating the album was far from a struggle. The band starting writing new material in January 2009 and by the time they entered Henson Studios in Los Angeles with producer Bob Marlette, they had 25 new songs.

“I think this is the longest our band has ever had laser-like focus on an album,” Varkatzas says. “We were all working together really well and we had a great time in the studio with Bob, who we called BeelzeBob. He’s this jovial cigar-smoking, goatee-sporting dude from Nebraska, and he really helped us fine tune the material and nail our best performances.”

While Congregation of the Damned features some of the band’s heaviest riffs ever on tracks like “You Were the King, Now You’re Unconscious” and “Bleeding Is A Luxury,” it also contains some of truly delicate and sentimental moments, including piano ballad “Wait For You.”

“That one’s just a beautiful song, and if you don’t like it, you don’t have a heart,” Varkatzas says. “I’d say that this album is a mix of everything we’ve ever done. For every song that’s more melodic or rock-driven there’s a total shitkicker, and I think that’s what makes us a well-rounded band.”

Atreyu will kick off a fall co-headlining tour with Hollywood Undead and will remain on the road throughout most of 2010.

“The new set is gonna feature a lot of songs from ‘Congregation’ plus a bunch of other stuff,” Varkatzas says. “We’re just really happy with the album and we can’t wait to play it for people live.”


CONGREGATION OF THE DAMNED is the follow up to Atreyu’s 2007’s release LEAD SAILS PAPER ANCHOR which has sold over 300,000 copies to date. Fueled by the Top 5 Active Rock hit “Becoming The Bull” and the #2 charting Alternative Rock hit “Falling Down,” the disc rocketed onto Billboard’s Rock and Hard Rock Album Charts at #1 and on Billboard’s Top 200 debuting at #8, making it the highest-charting album of the band’s career and landing them on the cover of Revolver Magazine, who called the disc "a coffin-tight collection of singles...the potential for hugeness is all over these 11 tunes...," while Metal Hammer declared it "a truly landmark album."

Atreyu has shared stages alongside Linkin Park on last year's Projekt Revolution tour, with Korn and Evanescence on the Family Values Tour, co-headlined the Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour with Avenged Sevenfold and will co-headline a fall 2009 tour with Hollywood Undead.

"Congregation of the Damned" lo nuevo de ATREYU

"Congregation of the Damned" lo nuevo de ATREYU

El nuevo disco de la banda californiana Atreyu ya está listo y tiene por título "Congregation of the Damned”, el saldrá a la venta el próximo 27 de octubre.

"Escribí la línea 'congregación de los condenados' para una de las canciones en el álbum", dijo el vocalista Alex Varkatzas. "Hay muchos sentimientos de nosotros en él como miembros de una sociedad, son la recopilación en torno a todo. Si nos fijamos en lo que está pasando en nuestra economía y cómo tratar a otras personas sí, es tipo de todos como si fuéramos sólo problemas. Estamos observando inexpresivamente cegados, y sólo podemos estar de acuerdo como una congregación de los condenados. Así que realmente este disco refleja mis pensamientos y sentimientos sobre esto".

Varkatzas también habló sobre el proceso en el estudio: "Creo que este es el tiempo más largo que la banda ha tenido para centrarse en un álbum. Estábamos trabajando juntos muy bien y tuvimos un gran tiempo en el estudio con Bob, a quien le decimos BeelzeBob".

La banda comenzará su gira el 16 de octubre junto a Hollywood Undead.

"El nuevo set tendrá muchas temas de" Congregación ", además de un montón de otras cosas", dice Varkatzas. "Estamos realmente contentos con el álbum y no podemos esperar para tocar en vivo para la gente".
