Atreyu, who are(were) these guys?

     It's been more than five years since my cousin introduced me to these guys and by now I would have hoped that five years could have made these guys into a recognized group. Sometimes one just doesn't know how the likes of bad music does better like the mainstream band "Asking Alexandria" while good music that should be known is unheard of. Atreyu is a band that gets its influences from all over the metal and rock genre. They can be brutal, take you back to the rock and roll ages and everything in between.

     The vocalist switches on and off between clean vocals and his not so scratchy screaming voice in conjunction with the rest of the band where they spike to quick and dextrous solos to heavy and thrash-like rhythms. Atreyu has sadly decided to take a "break" and it is unclear of whether or not they will ever get back together. Regardless of this, their music still satisfies their beloved fans, both new and old. It's a shame they never got the recognition they deserve so here I am, trying to do them a favor, long after they have disbanded. Listen to them and you'll see that they will grow on you. Metal head or rocker, these guys are a true wonder of their genre.
