It crashed the Top 30 of the Billboard Top 200 and earned widespread acclaim from Revolver, Loudwire, AXS and Kerrang!, who dubbed it “a hell of a return.” Along the way, the boys sold out countless headline shows in addition to sharing the stage with everyone from SLIPKNOT and LINKIN PARK to Chris Cornell and AVENGED SEVENFOLD.Back in December 2014, ATREYU celebrated “The Curse”‘s tenth anniversary by performing the album in its entirety at the Observatory in Santa Ana, California.ATREYU recently released “The Pronoia Sessions”, a collection of eight reimagined greatest hits and two nostalgic tribute covers. The digital release was made available on October 25 while vinyl and CDs hit streets on November 8.’The Pronoia Sessions’ deconstructs, recreates, and reshapes the Orange County, California, band’s beloved anthems (and cover songs) as a haunting and hypnotic new collection. What began as an acoustic album evolved into a grand re-imagining of ATREYU classics.ATREYU’s riffs, hooks, melodies, lyrics, and passion are essential parts of a vibrant subculture’s emergence across theaters, clubs, festivals, radio, and playlists. The artistic fearlessness powering landmark albums like “The Curse” and “Lead Sails Paper Anchor” is even stronger in 2024. “Becoming The Bull”, one of the two gold singles released in 2007, takes on new life on “The Pronoia Sessions”.The songs reimagined on “The Pronoia Sessions” stretch back to 2004’s “The Curse” (“Right Side Of The Bed”) and 2006’s “A Death-Grip On Yesterday” (“Ex’s & Ohs”, “The Theft”). Two of their biggest hits, “Warrior” and “Save Us”, are reworked from 2021’s “Baptize”. And there are new versions of “Gone” and “Drowning” from their most recent release, 2023’s “The Beautiful Dark Of Life”.In addition to their own songs, ATREYU offers dark takes on TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS’ classic “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” and the enduring, Chris Cornell-led AUDIOSLAVE ballad “Like A Stone”.ATREYU’s unquenchable appetite for creative achievement and pursuit of a shared catharsis on stage drove them to form the band as teenagers around the turn of the millennium. It 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, including LINKIN PARK, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, DEFTONES, SLIPKNOT and BRING ME THE HORIZON.A bold chapter in the band’s never-ending story of determination, “Baptize” was a definitive work for a new era. Like 2018’s “In Our Wake” (which produced the band’s biggest song of the streaming era, “The Time Is Now”),ATREYU recorded “Baptize” with producer John Feldmann. Guests included Jacoby Shaddix (PAPA ROACH),Travis Barker (BLINK-182) and Matt Heafy (TRIVIUM). Songs like “Warrior”, “Catastrophe”, “Save Us” and “Underrated” are massive, standing confidently in the band’s catalog.Breaking with music industry convention, the band’s ninth studio album, “The Beautiful Dark Of Life”, arrived first as a series of three four-song EPs, eventually collected all together with three more tracks. The band co-headlined with MEMPHIS MAY FIRE and toured with GODSMACK around the EPs.
