Notes: Named for a character from 1984’s movie hit The Neverending Story, Atreyu emerged as a turn of the millennium rap-metal band. Their hardcore sound is akin to
bands like Hatebreed and Agnostic Front. Comprised of bandmembers Dan Jacobs, Travis Miguel, Alex Varkatzas, Brandon Saller and Mark McKnight, the quintet’s
bludgeoning vocals and warped, dark guitar riffs impart an edginess lacking in much of their competition. The release of their albums Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses and the
more recent The Curse suggest a mastery of the dark beat and a promise to stick around.
Vitamin Records’ latest offering, The String Quartet Tribute to Atreyu, blends dark, sinister beat-driven riffs with chilling thrums of the cello; eerie wails of violin and shadowy echoes of the viola. The result of this fusion is otherworldly; you
may find the hairs on the back of your neck stand at attention and the temperature in the room lowers several degrees. This is raw strings at their gothic best.
