Victory Records has issued the following press release:

Southern California’s ATREYU have much to celebrate as they cross the country on the Rockstar Taste Of Chaos Tour in support of their new album, A Death-Grip On Yesterday, which debuted at #9 on the Billboard Top 200 with 68,664 in sales. The album enjoys the #1 spot on the Independent Chart while their last release, The Curse, is at #38. At present The Curse has scanned 311,000 copies and shows so signs of slowing down. Atreyu's debut album, Suicide Notes And Butterfly Kisses, has sold 236,000 units to date.

Produced by Josh Abraham (VELVET REVOLVER), A Death-Grip On Yesterday is chock full of great metallic rock songs with the mind-boggling guitar runs and dynamic brutality Atreyu are known for. They kick off the new album with an exclusive song on the soundtrack album for Underworld: Evolution, which debuted at #1 its first week with 27.6 million dollars in ticket sales. The video for 'Her Portrait In Black' is inter-cut with footage from the movie and has enjoyed massive plays online in the past few weeks since its debut on Yahoo! Music.

Atreyu are poised to reach a huge audience as they spend the summer headlining the second stage at Ozzfest 2006. Their dynamic guitar assault combines brilliant single-note leads and pummeling power chords, offset by the melodic and guttural vocals. “We blend it to make a prettier dark picture” vocalist Alex comments. With their new album, A Death-Grip On Yesterday, Atreyu have honed their personal style even more, exceeding all expectations and expanding the boundaries of metallic rock yet again.
