Atreyu Premiere New Single “Dead” After Teasing Their Own Demise

After nearly a week of teasing their supposed demise, melodic metalcore outfit Atreyu have pulled back the curtain on their latest single, “Dead“. The rollout for the track was preceded by a series of stunts, including wiping their social media profiles and publishing an obituary notice via atreyuisdead.com.

Speaking on the single itself, the group collectively shared:

“‘Dead‘ asked the question I feel many ask. Do I matter? Would anyone actually notice if I was gone? Not speaking in the space of depression or suicidal thought, but more in the grand scheme of life. We all want and aspire to leave some sort of lasting legacy or impression, but do we really matter? I guess we all hope so.”

The band tracked this latest single with Matthew Pauling handling production duties. In the meantime, Atreyu will remain on the road celebrating the 20th anniversary of their gold-certified 2004 album “The Curse“, with the following dates booked through the rest of the year:
