ATREYU vocalist Brandon Saller has spoken about the band's new studio album, 'The End Is Not The End', which is set for release on April 24 via Spinefarm.
Addressing how the album was recorded during a time when ATREYU was celebrating the 21st anniversary of their sophomore album "The Curse" by performing it in its entirety on European and North American tours, Saller said: "It was really cool, man.
I think the beginning of 2025 was sort of us wrapping up some details of what would become the next album.
And then it was a bunch of sort of looking backwards.\ The majority of the year was doing 'The Curse' [anniversary] tours and finishing recording the 'Curse 2.0' and releasing that.
So it was kind of a cool and sometimes difficult thing to kind of be living in the past and the future at the same time, all while trying to live in the present on tour.
But it was awesome, man.
It was a really cool year last year." "The End Is Not The End" is undeniably ATREYU's heaviest album ever and their most adventurous.
Guitarists Dan Jacobs and Travis Miguel, bassist Porter McKnight, drummer Kyle Rosa, and Saller created several of the album's songs on creative trips to Tokyo and San Juan Island off the coast of Washington.
"Tokyo made us feel like kids again," Saller says.
"We'd write for a few hours in the morning, then go out and get lost in all this inspiration." The result is an album that feels simultaneously classic and unfamiliar, aggressive and unselfconscious, deeply emotional and unconcerned with trends.
Produced by Matt Pauling, ATREYU's tenth album is vibrant, inventive, and beautifully aggressive.
ATREYU has recently announced a spring tour supporting SEVENDUST, kicking off April 20 in Indianapolis, Indiana before concluding in Knoxville, Tennessee on May 20.
The Southern California band will also be touring in support of their new album.
