An emo-core band from california who are great alla round the aspect of music they perform.Very talented singers,very talented bass player,drummer,and guitarists.They follow this up with strong meaningful lyrics.They have a very unique sound that few bands seem to obtain which combines 3 genre's together consisting of hardcore,emo,and metal.
If you do not believe they are emo then read their lyrics,they had emotional lyrics since day fucking one.Though on their album the curse they showed how emotional their lyrics can actually be in the song bleeding mascara and the crimson.Yet they pulled off a great album with incredible solo's from guitarist Dan Jacobs in songs like Right Side of the Bed,the Rememberance Ballad.Then very good bass solo's featured int he song This Flesh a Tomb.Though many willa rgue the follow up album from Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses,The Curse was not nearly as good as they sued to be ebcause "theya re sell outs who got emo and rpeppy fans".These people got to shutt he fuck up and start reading the lyrics from their EP released in 1998 and the suicide notes and butterfly kisses album and understand they have emotional lyrics.

And for all you "hardcore kids" out there who deny them being part of the hardcore genre,get over yourselves.They are wehter you like them or not.

And the Metal heads who wont admit theya re emo.To let you know,somebody's standing on my chest wasn't about killing someone till they couldn't breathe.

The band that ruined Bon Jovi's "You Give Love A Bad Name".
On Atreyu's version of the song, everything is off key and the vocals ruin the song as soon as the first line is "sung".

One of the best metal bands you will ever come across.
They went from being a rather heavy metal band to a softer, metal/hard rock band. Either way, they have always maintained a mixture of good riffs, kickass lyrics, awesome vocals, and the quality of being able to bring something new to each song; making each song so different from another.
"You put a bullet in my head
turned black thoughts to red
this could all end in tragedy
I dream of your death, lay you down to rest
I wont look back in fond memory

But time marches on, like a soldier, are you a killer
I think I know what you are, a thief in the night
and though it's taken me so very long to figure you out
you're throwing stones, your glass castle is falling down
on top of your good times, I'm not interested in working this out

You put a bullet in my head
turned black thoughts to red
this could all end in tragedy

and that's what you are, a sad plastic fucking mess
don't come to me with how your
tired, used up and just barely getting by
because I would walk on by and not even,
not even kick you when your down,
though you would deserve it because you are lower than the lowest dog
but this is the part where I say good-bye
and let the sands of time blow over us
Say good-bye, and let the sands of time blow over you

You've never had to crawl, you've never had to see,
what it feels like to be so trapped underneath
the weight of someone's world, comes crashing down on me
I was longing to be free, I put the bullet in you and me

This is my farewell to you and I,
this will all end in tragedy
This will all end in tragedy."

Revolver Southern California is celebrated for its sunshine and renowned for continually producing some of the worlds best punk rock bands. Atreyu will dispel any predetermined notions you may have previously had of a band from this area. Depression, pain, desire and retribution procreate in a dark, lonely corner of your psyche. Its that sordid piece of yourself that you try and hide, deny and bury. Orange County Californias Atreyu is embroiled in the struggle to break free from this disenfranchising abyss. Atreyu has taken a new direction in the world of melodic hard rock. They make extreme a little more accessible, emo a little more haunting and severe backed up with a powerful hardcore foundation
I felt is my job to inform all you people that you have "Atreyu" all wrong and you need to listen to the words and feel the emotions
