ATREYU ushered in a new movement in heavy music. Their music seamlessly intertwines with formative experiences for a diverse legion of dedicated listeners, many of whom started their own bands. Yet nearly two decades since the release of their first album, ATREYU is just getting started.

Unbound by false restrictions about any particular anthem sounding "too heavy" or "too pop," ATREYU is a creative beacon of hope for anyone shaken by the suggestion that "rock is dead." The Orange County, California band's riffs, hooks, melodies, and passion are essential parts of the emergence of a vibrant subculture across theaters, clubs, festivals, radio, and social media. The artistic fearlessness powering landmark albums like The Curse and Lead Sails Paper Anchor is even stronger.

"We have unfinished business, always," declares frontman and cofounder Brandon Saller. "It's been a steady climb. And that leaves us hungry. There's always more to prove and more to accomplish."

ATREYU's unquenchable appetite for creative achievement and pursuit of a shared catharsis onstage is what 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 is a definitive work for a new era. As with the album's acclaimed predecessor, 2018's In Our Wake, ATREYU recorded Baptize in California with super producer John Feldmann (Blink-182, The Used, 5 Seconds Of Summer). It evokes the strength of 2020's "Save Us" single, with the flair for the melodic ATREYU hinted at as far back as 2002's Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses, expanded and refined with confidence and attitude.

They've broken into the Top 10 in the Billboard 200 more than once; two of their albums were certified gold; yet ATREYU is never ashamed of the passionate community that spawned them.

Adeptly combining the sounds of thrash, hardcore punk, and the New Wave of Swedish Death Metal, ATREYU quickly evolved to a place where fans of everything from Linkin Park to Lamb Of God could come to the party. Adventurous, ambitious; ATREYU is best described plainly as a loud rock band.
