ATREYU, named after the main character in the fantasy The Neverending Story, originated in Southern California during the rap-metal explosion at the turn of the century. They initially crashed their hardcore with guitars and vocals that gave their material a distinct metalcore feel, which they eventually really moved towards with their contemporary post-hardcore and alternative metal expression and melodies. But in the flood of ATREYA bands, you’ll recognize them at first glance.
Until recently, the last item on the band’s account after the change of vocalists was the excellent album “Baptize” (2021), which they also showed in Prague in front of Bullet for My Valentine in Foru Karlín, but it has been replaced by the new EP “The Hope of a Spark”, from which the latest singles “Drowning” and the current “Watch Me Burn” come.
