Following the start of their indefinite hiatus in 2011, Southern Californian melodic metallers Atreyu have announced their return.
The reunited line-up includes the same five members that made up the band ahead of their break, including original vocalists Alex Varkatzas and Brandon Saller.
Atreyu released five full-length albums, including their breakthrough The Curse, prior to the hiatus.
The band will play their comeback show at California’s Aftershock 2014 Festival on September 14th.
“The time has come,” says drummer Brandon Saller when speaking of the reunion. “We have been spending the last few months planning this moment. Writing new music and thinking about the future while also reflecting on the past. We all came to the conclusion that it was the right time. Our history is too powerful to ignore forever. Our fans have given us too much. The void of Atreyu, in the world and within ourselves, had existed for long enough. We are happy to announce that after almost 4 years, the beast has risen!”
