Atreyu share new single "Dead"
Today, Atreyu are proud to share their new single Dead, marking their first release in over two years. Known for their signature blend of crushing riffs, soaring melodies, and emotionally charged lyrics, Atreyu continue to push the boundaries of metalcore while staying true to the sound that has earned them a devoted global following. Dead, recorded by Matthew Pauling, showcases the band’s relentless energy and musical evolution, offering both longtime fans and new listeners a powerful glimpse into the next chapter of their career.
About Dead, Atreyu had this to say:
"'Dead' asked the question I feel many ask. Do I matter? Would anyone actually notice if I was gone? Not speaking in the space of depression or suicidal thought, but more in the grand scheme of life. We all want and aspire to leave some sort of lasting legacy or impression, but do we really matter? I guess we all hope so."

In addition to the release of Dead, Atreyu will embark on the first leg of their ’The Curse’ tour, hitting towns up and down the UK, before heading over to mainland Europe.
This tour marks the 20 + 1 year anniversary of Atreyu’s 2004 album “The Curse.” A true breakthrough moment for the band, “The Curse” delivered staples like Bleeding Mascara, Right Side of the Bed, and The Crimson which are songs that helped cement ATREYU as one of the defining forces in the mid-2000s metalcore scene.
Atreyu’s riffs, hooks, melodies, and relentless energy remain a driving force in heavy music, with over a billion streams worldwide and a fanbase that keeps growing. The Southern California band recently wrapped a triumphant co-headlining U.S. run and tore through massive festivals like Download, Hellfest, Welcome to Rockville, and Inkcarceration.
Since forming around the turn of the millennium, Atreyu have pushed well beyond their DIY roots—earning multiple RIAA Gold records, Top 20 Billboard 200 debuts, and spots on major film and video-game soundtracks. Their latest album, “The Beautiful Dark of Life” (2023, Spinefarm), debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums and has already racked up over 75 million streams, with singles like Gone and Watch Me Burn lighting up rock radio and flagship playlists like Spotify’s "Volume" and Apple Music’s "The Riff."
