In a recent interview with Loud & Clear With Belgian Jasper, ATREYU frontman Brandon Saller spoke about the band's upcoming album, 'The End Is Not The End', which will arrive on April 24 via Spinefarm.
Regarding ATREYU's overall mindset when approaching the songwriting for the LP, Brandon said, "We sort of realized that one of our secret moves or special moves was that we never really fit in anywhere.
We kind of always carved our own lane and we didn't fully belong in punk rock or metal or hardcore or anything.
We sort of just bridged the gap and had a foot in each.
And I think that's why we were successful in the first place at all." He went on to say that more thought and planning went into the making of 'The End Is Not The End' than had previously been the case with any of the older ATREYU records.
"For the first time, really, in our career, we sat down and talked about what we wanted the next album to be, what we wanted our next sort of voice to be," he explained.
"And we never do that." The band recently wrapped a spring tour supporting SEVENDUST, kicking off April 20 in Indianapolis, Indiana and concluding on May 20 in Knoxville, Tennessee.
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.
