History

The band originally started in high school under the name Retribution[1], playing a mixture of third-wave and street punk. They played for about a year under that name, releasing one casette tape. Sometime in 1998, the band discovered that another band from Hemet, California had been using the name Retribution. The decision to change their name took place seemingly at the same time as the decision to change to a more hardcore sound. The name they decided on was Atreyu, after a character in the movie The Never Ending Story.

Atreyu was formed as a band sometime during spring break 1998 and 1999. Shortly thereafter, they released their first EP, entitled Visions while the members were in their senior year of high school. The record garnered the band some success in the Southern California metalcore scene and they constantly performed to support the seven-track release.

Atreyu released its second record, a five-track EP, also entitled Fractures in the Facade of Your Porcelain Beauty, in 2001. The record featured early versions of the songs "Living Each Day Like You're Already Dead", "Someone's Standing on My Chest", and "Tulips Are Better", which were re-worked for the band's third release. The record also caught the attention of record executives at Victory Records, who quickly signed the band and added it to its roster.

Atreyu recorded and released its first full-length album in 2002. Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses would become an instant fan favorite and was noticed by a wide spectrum of music fans. The record broke down the walls separating the genres of heavy metal and hardcore, allowing the band to push itself into the forefront of the metalcore scene. Critics from publications such as the L.A. Times, Guitar World, and Metal Maniacs commented that the "Southern California five-piece brings new definition to overnight success." Since then, the album has sold over 200,000 copies and has produced two popular singles, "Ain't Love Grand" and "Lip Gloss and Black."

At the end of 2003, the band went home to record its follow-up to Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses. In early 2004, Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses was re-released. The new edition of the album shipped with a bonus DVD that featured a live concert. The band was also on the second stage of the Ozzfest 2004 tour across the U.S. alongside such bands as Lamb of God, Hatebreed, Bleeding Through and Slipknot. And within a year, the band found itself headlining its own tour, called the "Bitter, Broken, Bound and Gagged Tour," selling out some venues all across the United States.

Recording The Curse took only five weeks, but transformed the band. The Curse saw the band exploring their talents as musicians on their instruments with a more studio-produced approach than Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses. The crushingly grating vocals were supplemented by beautiful ballads. Released during the summer of 2004, The Curse was mildly anticipated and garnered more success than Atreyu had ever had before. The album's lead single, "Right Side of the Bed," was played in heavy rotation on FUSE as well as featured on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball. The album's second single "The Crimson" was more radio-friendly, allowing the band to expand its fan base a little more.

During the summer of 2005, The Curse was re-released. The new edition of the album shipped with brand-new artwork and a bonus DVD featuring four of the band's music videos on one side of the DVD and on the other is an introduction to the band Aiden featuring their video "Knife Blood Nightmare" as well as interviews with the band members.

After playing the 2004 edition of Ozzfest, the band embarked in spring 2005 on its first headlining tour since leaving the road to record The Curse. The band called its new tour the "Thick as Thieves Tour" and featured other acts like Norma Jean, Unearth, and Scars of Tomorrow. During the tour's stop in New Jersey, it combined with the "Taste of Chaos" tour, a tour featuring The Used, My Chemical Romance, Killswitch Engage, Senses Fail, Underoath, and A Static Lullaby. A "Taste of Chaos" DVD was released and featured performances from Atreyu on those two nights. The band was also featured on the 2005 edition of the Warped Tour, playing the main stage.

Atreyu's video for "Her Portrait in Black" premiered on January 13, 2006. It features many clips from the film "Underworld: Evolution". Though "Her Portrait in Black" is featured on the soundtrack for "Underworld: Evolution", it is not on A Death-Grip on Yesterday.

A Death-Grip on Yesterday, which was released on March 28, 2006, is the band's third full length album. Atreyu is also currently due to perform again on the Taste of Chaos tour in early 2006 across the US and Canada, alongside bands such as Thursday (band), Silverstein, Thrice, and the Deftones.

The album appeared on BitTorrent and P2P sites on February 25, 2006, over a month before the official release date.

The band has just been announced to play as one of the headlining bands on the second stage of the 2006 tour of Ozzfest, sharing the stage with bands such as Black Label Society, Unearth, and Bleeding Through.

verändert von sstbonobo

Ich habe hier in sehr mühevoller Arbeit einen kompletten Beitrag in deutsch verfasst.... Vielleicht macht sich ja einer der Wikipedia-Verantwortlichen die Mühe den wieder irgendwie auszugraben!

In den Versioenn ist er zumindest noch ersichtlich.

Ich verstehe ehrlcih gesagt nicht, wie solch eine Änderung des Textes überhaupt unbemerkt möglich ist.... Komm mir jetzt ehrlich gesagt schon ein wenig veralbert vor.

Ich habe mal deine Arbeit gemacht und den deutschen Text wiederhergestellt, der ohne Begründung geläscht wurde (hättest du aber auch selbst machen können). Mit veralbern hat das nichts zu tun, eher mit Vandalismus, vermute ich --TheRunnerUp 08:18, 19. Mai 2006 (CEST)

In welchem der acht Orange Countys wurde die Band denn genau gegründet? Bitte abklären. --peter200 13:36, 6. Jun 2006 (CEST)

[Bearbeiten] Gründungsort

Im Artikel steht, Atreyu habe sich in Orange County gegründet, wo sich die Frage stellt in welchem Orange County.

- Habs selbst recherchiert, Diskussion also überflüssig ;o

ma ne frage: warum sollen die denn metalcore sein?? ich finde die hören sich sehr nach numetal an (das ist nicht abwertend gemeint ;) )

Für Nu Metal fehlen irgendwie die Rap-Elemente --83.135.77.252 12:57, 20. Jul 2006 (CEST)

[Bearbeiten] Wow!!!

Wer sich schon immer mal gefragt hat, woher die roten Farbspritzer auf Jacobs Gitarre kommen in dieser Triviapedia wird es geklärt. Danke für diese essentiellen Information. Ich nehme mal an, das sich in 10 Jahren, wenn kein Schwanz sich mehr für Atreyu interessiert, Musikhistoriker genau dafür interessieren. Wahrscheinlich würden Millionen und Abermillionen an Förderationsgelder (oder was auch immer wir für ein Zahlungsmittel haben werden) ausgegeben, nur um diese wichtige Frage zu klären ... Hab den Mumpitz mal gelöscht, wenns wirklich irgendwen interessieren sollte, es gibt da so gelbe Zettel, die man sich an den Monitor kleben kann. --85.178.218.71 23:42, 9. Aug 2006 (CEST)

[Bearbeiten] Musikrichtung..

Die Band hat nichts mit Emocore zu tun. Das ist ganz normaler melodischer Metalcore. Und nur wegen dem Song The Theft hier alles zu verändern, ist unsinnig. --Project X 13:50, 11. Nov. 2006 (CET)
