Atreyu Singers Talks New Album and Benefits Of Hiatus
. (TeamRock Radio) Atreyu's sixth album illustrates the lessons they learned during their hiatus, says vocalist Alex Varkatzas. And he thinks fans will find plenty of what they've always liked about the band in the follow-up to 2009's Congregation Of The Damned, which they recently completed. Atreyu announced plans to "recharge and focus on other parts of our lives" in 2011 - but they officially regrouped last year and are currently playing Australia's Soundwave touring festival. Varkatzas tells The Metal Hammer Magazine Show: "We didn't overthink anything. Our best work has always been when we just explode on to tape. Everyone expects us to do a throwback record, in the style of The Curse. I'm not saying it's not that - but it's an amalgamation of all the best parts of our band. We've realised our strong suits and realised the best way we make music, and made a record that way." Co-vocalist Brandon Saller says Atreyu wouldn't have had a future if they hadn't called a halt. "I think we overworked ourselves more than anything," he reflects. Read more here. TeamRock Radio is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
