Check out the infamous Zorro the Straight Blade rocking on stage... also on the bill were AVENGED SEVENFOLD, DROPKICK MURPHYS, TAKING BACK SUNDAY, BILLY IDOL & many more. Atreyu is a five-member band from Orange County, California that formed in 1998. The band consists of vocalist Alex Varkatzas, guitarists Dan Jacobs and Travis Miguel, bassist Marc McKnight and drummer and vocalist Brandon Saller. The band was originally named "Retribution" but later changed their name to "Atreyu" after the character from the fantasy movie The Neverending Story of the same name (suggested by a friend, Scott Lloyd) when they found out that another band from Hemet, California had been using the name. http://www.myspace.com/atreyur... 1998, Atreyu released an independent 7-track EP titled Visions. The album was sold at their live performances. Their second release, Fractures in the Facade of Your Porcelain Beauty was a short 5-track EP released by underground label Tribunal Records and featured tracks that would be re-worked in later releases. Atreyu signed with Victory Records in 2001, and their most critically acclaimed works would be to come from these releases. http://www.darklyrics.com/a/at... 2001, Atreyu signed with Victory Records, who were famous for signing young, upstart emocore and metalcore bands and making them successful, later releasing in 2002 their first full-length album Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses. The band also introduced another singer, Brandon Saller, the drummer, who would become more prolific in their later releases, but in this album, his parts were most confined to choruses, and only in certain songs at that. Atreyu's second album, The Curse, was released in 2004, selling 300,000 copies. Atreyu was then featured on the soundtrack to the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith with a cover of Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name".In 2006, Atreyu released their third full-length LP, entitled A Death-Grip on Yesterday that helped further Atreyu's move towards the mainstream, with the hits "Ex's and Oh's" and "The Theft". The album was said to balance of Brandon Saller's melodic singing vocals and Varkatzas's aggressive screaming. The album was met with positive reviews though, as IGN called the album "A brief but potent hissy fit." http://www.atreyurock.com/ In early 2007, Atreyu signed a record deal with Hollywood Records for America and Roadrunner Records for the rest of the world, and began to prepare their next album, Lead Sails Paper Anchor. In early 2007, Atreyu released a jigsaw puzzle of sorts on their website, as the goal was to put all the audio clips of their new single, Becoming the Bull into correct order, forming the whole song.[8] The album features very little of Atreyu's trademark screaming, in favor for more melodic singing and less heavy vocals. The American release of the album had a bonus track, a cover of the song "Epic" by Faith No More, while the European and Australian bonus track was a cover of "Clean Sheets" by The Descendants.
