The Californian metalcore outfit are working on the follow-up to fifth outing Congregation Of The Damned, which was launched in 2009 before they went on hiatus. They confirmed they'd regrouped earlier this year, and last month released new track So Others May Live.

Saller tells MusicFeeds: "I feel like Atreyu is most like Atreyu somewhere in the middle of The Curse and A Death-Grip On Yesterday - and I feel like the new stuff doesn't sound like that at all.

"We weren't really focusing on what era, or what kind of record, we should go back to and emulate. It was just like, 'Let's give 100% of everything inside of us that we need to get out.'"

He adds: "It's blistering. It's a total reincarnation of my band. It's as heavy as can be and aggressive as can be - definitely a punch in the face for heavy music in general."
